Fun, trashy read from a woman who says what's on her mind. Janice is a riot.

Glad i read it, as it was entertaining, Janice sure had some fun. I hope her kids never pick this book up, I think they'd be pretty shocked. She drops a lot of names, takes a lot of drugs and drinks like a fish. I hope she truly has found some happiness and peace in her life. It was not the best book ever, but it was not the worst one either. something to pass the time on a long plane flight with nothing else to do!

Filled with sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Janice Dickinson's first memoir is a no-holds barred look at life as America's first supermodel, as she so aptly bills herself.

The book is easy and light enough as a beach read, although it touches on many sad aspects of her life-her troubled relationship with her father, and the problematic relationships it causes with finding a mate in life. Coupled with meaningless binges in drugs of all kinds and plenty of alcohol, and you have the life of a woman who has lived too much, too fast.

That being said, there is something of a happy ending. She has a family, and is able to realize her worth for being something other than a supermodel.

I personally preferred to read about her early years in Florida as a nobody dreaming of making it big, than I did hearing about her random sexcapades with big named stars, or comments about other models and their thighs/lack of beauty.

Janice may be difficult and demanding, and that does show in her book. However, she also came across as real too, and for that I applaud her.

I'd read it again for a light read, to balance out any difficult or heavy books I was currently reading.

Honest, rude, crazy memoir, but I still think Janice is funny. She is a character all in her own right. It was a fun romp to dive into her hazy, half-lucid memories of her time as a young supermodel.
