I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say that I watch the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency with any regular frequency, but when flipping by Oxygen, I will sometimes stop and watch the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first supermodel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d frantically trying to run her nascent business. In this weekend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s repeat of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of Models and Morals,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d new model Dominique<\/a>, a Catholic gal who was totally uncomfortable posing nude for a senior citizens’ drawing class in the previous episode, attends a Models for Jesus meeting with fellow JDMA model, Michael. Cut to the sanctuary of a church with a small group of models sitting around discussing how they deal with nudity in their own careers. The leader of the group states that she doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do nudity and that it hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t harmed her career. And Michael doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do nudity, but he and Dominique both work for one of the most flamboyant exhibitionists on television, so how are they going to let her know that they are interested in clothed couture? Janice is rather bombastic, but she is not entirely unreasonable; unless, of course, you decide to have the entire Models for Jesus group come into her agency and have the leader tell her that her favorite new model, whom Janice plucked from California Pizza Kitchen obscurity, isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t willing to do nudity.View part of the episode here:
