This week was all about oily skin, with our group of *ahem* straight guys getting all greased up for their extremely provocative photo shoot for Rufskin denim. I don't exactly see the denim, but watching the guys get all greased up, pumped up and put into such compromising positions makes it all worth while. Poor Danny is getting all worried that he is starting to get typecast as gay with all the racy photos he keeps doing, but I am sure he will find some way to live with it. Janice certainly knows her audience and the photo shoot is pretty close to the most homoerotic thing I have seen on TV since a Queer as Folk episode. As Janice keeps saying... I haven't see this much butt cleavage in years (not to mention all the touch ups and ass shots) but I don't think anyone is really complaining.....I will have to say that I was impressed (to a certain degree) with Janice's son Nathan and the double date that he set up. Nathan wants to go out on a date with Traci (one of the models, the one that Janice called fat and got her try on her skirt) and invites her and gets JP to chaperon, and even sets up JP with fellow model Rodrigo. Pretty non homophobic I'll say.... and I have officially decided that Janice's show is probably the most gay friendly thing on TV right now next to Project Runway. Of course the whole thing about dating a model at mom's agency is not a good thing as Janice will not tolerate business and pleasure mixing (and we know how professional Janice is), so they whole thing is nipped in the bud (as they say) and Janice makes sure to get in several catty comments and lay down the law (Traci was peeing in her pants she was so terrified) before getting to our other oily part of the episode.
Sensiclear needs a new face for their product, and boss guy asks Janice for her models with the worst skin so he can put them on a one month regime of his product and then choose his next spokes model for infomercials and ads. Janice sees lots of little dollar signs in such a lucrative contract, and does a very specific casting call for models with bad skin. I guess she will have her high fashion division, her Latino division and now her bad skin division of models to work with. Some of her "regular" models get to try out as well,, and we get treated to lots of CC (mini Janice) who goes on and on and on and on and on and on (get the picture?) about her skin problems and how she has tried everything and nothing works and cries lots of crocodile tears. It was just too much... and too over the top and yes so much like Janice. Anyways CC gets chosen for the tryout (meaning she follows the regime for 28 days and then they choose their model) as well as some other models that look like they really need the chance to use the product. CC doesn't outwardly seem to have such bad skin.... but knows how to work it.
There is a bonding moment later with Janice where we hear CC say that she knows all about Janice and wants to be just like her... sort of the " I am your number one fan" routine and I wonder if she is a stalker and will try to kill Janice and take over for her.... just weird vibes that I get from CC and she seems off... but then again so does Janice.....
There was also some drama with one of the new girls at a photo shoot and it seems that Janice is getting more and more tired of her partner... I think he's out the door soon. Hopefully next week more stuff will hit the fan or maybe some underwear company is hunting for new models.. one can dream...
