Janice Dickinson
Janice Doreen Dickinson is an American model, photographer, author and talent agent. Initially notable as a model, she has been disputably described by herself and others as the first supermodel. One of the most successful models throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she expanded her profession to reality television in 2003 by judging for four cycles on America's Next Top Model. She subsequently opened her own modeling agency in 2005, which was documented in the reality-television series The Janice Dickinson Modeling...

I can only speak from my own personal experience, being behind the camera and in front of it, but every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed.
I had to fight like hell to convince people I was beautiful in my own Polish half-breed way.
I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.
If you think I'm over-the-top, I am.
This alpha dog is not going to take it lying down next time.
I've been the queen of dysfunction and made every mistake one can make.
Everyone steals from something or someone.
Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it's shifted.
But you see, that's the gilded prison of fashion. We're riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely.
But as a young model, I never felt as beautiful as I looked.
What's my motto when it comes to money? Don't put so much emphasis on it!
Every six months I fly to Dallas to get botox and I also get collagen injections.
The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I'll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.
I started Botox the first year it came out. I was the first one in line, and I have had Botox every six months since then.
