Press Release of the Day

posted by on December 13 at 13:04 PM

This just in from Big Machine Media:

Late last night (Tuesday, 12/12) the world’s first Supermodel, Janice Dickinson, was on her way back from a 2(x) ist Underwear shoot in Catalina, being driven back to her Los Angeles home by a Production Assistant on the Interstate 405. A hit-and-run truck driver ran their SUV into the median and although seat-belted threw Janice head-first into the windshield, resulting in a concussion. Also involved in the accident were Ms Dickinson’s makeup artist, Gabe Giesner and her stylist Duke Stanton who were unharmed but shaken. The group was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital and released this morning. After review doctors gave a clean bill of health and Janice is expected be back in fine form in time for the debut of her second season of THE JANICE DICKINSON MODELING AGENCY on Oxygen TV on 1/10/07.

“Unharmed but shaken”—just like a good baby. Congratulations to Janice for surviving, and props to Big Machine for their ingenious news release/product-placement bonanza.

You can't hurt what isn't real. That woman has more plastic parts then a 1996 Saturn. A dent pull here and there and a little spray paint and she's good as new(ish).

I meant THAN not THEN. More plastic parts THAN a 1996 Saturn. I hate when I do that.

This just goes to show that seatbelting SUVs does nothing for victims of SUV collisions, contrary to the claims of the SUV-seatbelting proponents.

I never heard of Janice Dickinson until her cable show. First Supermodel? What about Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, and Cheryl Tiegs?

Janice's main claim to fame, these days, is her stint as a judge on the first few seasons of "America's Next Top Model" (where she was insane, so much so that she got the boot, which says a lot--this is reality tv we're talking about, where crazy drama is oxygen...).

Her claim to "world's first supermodel" is all about semantics. She was the first one to be called a supermodel, and in her telling, she coined the word.
