Eh, Janice was never that great and looks like a plastic mommy now and is mental. All her claims she was the ‘first super model’ is a load of rubbish. She may have been in America but in the world – NO! Gia was always more beautiful than Janice ever was. She just looks like a sad old hag now. How sad. I just hate the way modelling has gone. Can we please bring back beautiful girls to modelling – not weird freaky looking ones! There is no such thing as ‘ugly beautiful’ TYRA! There is beautiful and not! Simple as that!
she is pretty..horrible what happened to this lovely girl..even though i think bk in the day..Janice Dickinson was prettier than all of them!
