Supermodel, reality TV star, owner of her own modeling agency, Janice Dickinson has crammed a lot of living into her 50-odd years. Her newest ventures — including a one-woman show, a new reality series, and a foray into the music industry — prove that there’s little she won’t try, regardless of how unsuited for the challenge she might seem to be. And it’s that unsinkable drive that we probably love most about her — that and her dirty, straight shooting, gossiping mouth.http://www.out.com/ caught up with Janice in New York during a day just after she had descended upon the Warren Tricomi Salon in the Plaza Hotel with her daughter, Savannah (Savvy), for a day of pampering and $10,000 worth of Great Lengths hair extensions.
Here are a few excerpts:
On Ricky Martin coming out: “We’ve always known Ricky was gay. Come on! [Sings] Living La Vida Lie! Poor thing. I want everyone out there in history to please, if you’re gay, please come out. It feels so good. So I applaud you Ricky. We applaud Ricky Martin finally. Being involved with Out magazine, being able to say, [lowers voice conspiratorially] OK, OK, you all read my book and you know I’ve had a threesome — you know I’ve had scenes with women. It’s the most freeing thing you could ever do in your life — coming out. Come out, come out wherever you are. I’m begging any male model or female model in the fashion industry or in the dental industry or any industry — come out. It feels so good. Bravo Ricky Martin!”
On Lady Gaga: “Lady Gaga has to refer to the art world as reference, because honey she ain’t no beauty to look at, but, she becomes beautiful in the eyes of the beholder — the way her performance transcends her persona. Her music to me — I mean come on — “Paparazzi” and all these kitschy little songs, they’re good, really good. To see her live in Vegas, at the Mirage — I walked out. I’m sorry. I watched her at the piano and I had to go out and have a… [once again lowers her voice] smoke. We walked out because I was thinking, Stop talking about “Your sex, I want your sex.” I don’t give a fuck about her I wanting “your sex.” But you know, I get where she’s coming from, and it’s phenomenal, along with the perception that her gays put together her performance art for her. But it’s all who you surround yourself with — the team. Example: me — Janice Dickinson — I wouldn’t be shit if it weren’t for my gays. I wouldn’t be even sitting here if it weren’t for late great Way Bandy, for the late great Ara Gallant, for the late great Richard Avedon, for the late great every single queen from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s that made me La Janice. Match that Gaga! Aight?”
