2006. The series follows self-proclaimed world's first
supermodel,
Surreal Life alumna and former
America's Next Top Model judge
Janice Dickinson as she prepares to launch her own modeling agency, also called The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. Dickinson believes that the next logical step for her career is to form a modeling agency, using the credibility that her 30 years of experience has given her. The agency opened for business in November 2005.
The first season follows her opening the agency, including the difficulty in finding models, getting them "camera ready," obtaining financial backing and establishing a reputation for her agency. Subsequent seasons have followed the development of the agency and its models. A number of the male models are openly
gay, and a number of the agency's clients are gay-oriented businesses. This has resulted in many of the episodes and storylines being gay in theme.
