Janice isn't gonna be on the next ANTM!!! Twiggy is taking her place, i'm so excited! Hope no one posted this yet, didn't really check.

Lol, what's so exciting about twiggy. Janice carried the entertainment value by 46% in my opinion, Tyra probably 4%. the rest are divided by the drama, photoshoot and Miss Jay

:heart: it. a total page-turner. I read the book and never put it down, to the finish! Funny, Juicy and heartbreaking. You'll fall in love with Janice, if you haven't yet!
 
Her body looks very good for her age. ( Infact, for any age!) Plastic surgery can only do so much, she must have loads of discipline.

As for her face, I rather it be natural. too much. She and the desperate housewives ( nicolette and teri) are all beginning to morph into each other.

you should see th e true hollywood story.i love janice.she is nuts and honest and still damn sexy at 95
 
I love Janice! lol. she's a riot, a comedian and don't know it. lol. I dont care what anyone say about her negatively but she's one of the most down to earth and easy to be around with. At her age she still got it.
 
I only saw bits of America's next top model tonight and I was surprised to see Janice on it! She was photographing their shoot (I think it was inspired by the Italian Vogue cosmetic surgery editorial). Watching her, she seems so sweet, giving these very polite thank-you's to the girls ^_^

Here's some more pictures I found. She was so gorgeous in her day, and even with all that plastic surgery, I think she's still beautiful right now :heart:

"Think??" She's completely admitted to it! That's what's so great about Janice - she's a freak with no airs, and she admits to being like 95% plastic...! :lol:

Of course she admits to it... look at her.. it would be ridiculous if she said otherwise... :lol: ... its like if Michael Jackson denied having plastic surgery... oh wait.. :rolleyes:



I wonder how she would look without plastic surgery though.. the old pictures of her are beautiful...

I have to say although I dig Jan, she should stop telling that lie. I have mags way before she started and I vividly remember seeing in print a model being called 'Supermodel' in 1973 for Cosmo,although it wasn't really widely used until the mid-80s. Sure she has what it takes to be called a Supermodel, but not claim it. I notice the girls who are known as Supers(the public dubed like Cindy,Linda,Naomi,etc) never say that they are, like they have nothing to prove. Jan on the other hand has to kind of scream all these things both flattering & unflattering and that say notice me after her run in the mid 80's.
I too wonder what she would look like without all the surgery, she was something unique physically.

since you mention the race issue lets just note that naomi campbell was & is so much better & more successful a model than tyra ever was or cld dream of.
and since you mention the race issue lets note that beverly johnson & Iman were also far better & more successul models than tyra ever was. they are real pioneers for africans & african-americans.
tyra is only a pioneer in model-turned-TV producer & lets see if her talk show will be an oprah-level success as she hopes?

I also have to agree there they are both successes but Tyra hasn't transcended the elite height shared by the very few in the modelling industry as 'Super' like Cindy,Naomi,Linda,Christy & Claudia or great. She was an Elle girl, Naomi is a Vogue girl. Naomi is far more significant. Sure blacks don't get alot of Vogue Covers but they're more than a handful that did, and Tyra is not apart of that. Sure she has done more commercial modeling(or lack of modelling IMO) for GQ, but during the Super era Vogue was just as big as a men's mag like that. Naomi was on the first to many Vogue covers, not to mention Time magazine, which is far better than being on GQ or VS. Naomi is just as commerical, but without the cheesy part that's the difference. And by the way happycanadian(and I like you) Naomi is just as known & she doesn't have to jump on tv or get in a bikini or lingerie. And during the Super era Naomi was way better known, although Tyra was doing the same kind of modelling she ending her career with. Naomi is much more diverse, so is Iman and many others. Naomi will go on & on doing what she does best and that's modelling not eveyone has that 20 years of steady work and attention! She is the most covered of any blackstar(Ben Arogundade) and of most non-black models, including Tyra. So what she doesn't have a show people need to also think as in maybe she doesn't want one, I bet she doesn't. She never had to go outside of modelling b/c she is always accepted period. That doesn't make her less talented, she is more talented. She has mastered her day job. Tyra hasn't and now is trying to be Oprah and it isn't working.

And not to mention Jan is way better than Ty for the previous posters, too. I miss her on ANTM and find myself not really interested since she has left.

I know Janice is a big-mouth and likes to talk about herself a lot, but I think what she did for herself back in the 70's as a model is admirable. She didn't take any bulls**** from anyone at a time when models were often taken advantage of. She got what she wanted and raised the bar for other models. Her career had longevity because she was professional, and even while she was doing drugs she stayed loyal to her modeling career and wanted to further it, unlike Gia. I just bought 'No Lifeguard on Duty', mainly for the Gia references but also to learn more about Janice. I think the main difference between her and Gia was that Gia wasn't into modeling that much, and she was more hooked on getting her drug fixes.
 
I dont care what people say- shes a star! I have been searching through bookstores like a maniac, but I cant find the book! She was so exotic at the time of her big break! No one had ever thought of a model to not be so generic! I love pictures of her, so dont hold back on posting a lot of them!
