While the entire world is ablaze with the ban against size 0 models (some say it's a good thing because in that way, the fashion industry will no longer encourage young girls to starve
themselves to death, and others say it's the worst thing that could ever happened because models are supposed to be slim), Janice Dickinson, says: screw it, I want skinny asses on my show!
Dickinson, the self-proclaimed world's first supermodel, 'weighs' in on the slim models controversy and, what do you know?, she makes a totally different point. As she herself said in a recent interview, she doesn't quite give a rat's ass about what people say about anorexia and models because these girls are paid to be skinny and they should do just that: be skinny and not eat. If, along the way, they pass out on the catwalk or die of starvation, that's their problem and should learn to deal with it.
Of course, dear Janice was never the one to keep her mouth at times like this or, as a matter of fact, to think twice before going public with what's on her mind. Because at her age she is still a size 4, Janice honestly believes that models should be given no leniency when it comes to their weight. As she is now looking for girls for the next season of her own reality show on Oxygen, 'The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency', the former model made it a point that she's only looking for deadly-skinny women.
'I'm dying to find kids who are too thin. I've got 42 models in my agency and I'm trying to get them to lose weight. In fact, I wish they'd come down with some anorexia. I'm not kidding. I'm running into a bunch of fat-assed, lazy little bitches who don't know how to do the stairs or get their butts into the gym.', Janice told the reporter who took the interview. And, take her word for it, she is NOT kidding!
Towards the end of the interview, Janice stressed, once again, just how important looks are in the fashion industry. She also added that, if models happen to die from anorexia, designers (like her) shouldn't be blamed for it: it's the parents fault. A couple of final words of wisdom from the outspoken Dickinson: 'I've been saying this ever since Brooke Shields squeezed her 15-year-old little ass into a pair of Calvin Klein jeans [in 1980]: Models are supposed to be thin. They're not supposed to eat. In fact, I'm not going to eat for the rest of the day because we had this conversation.'
