The modeling business is ugly

Reports are in that VH1's show, The Agency, depicts the ugly workings of a modeling agency.  Profiling a leading agency, TMZ reports the show:

takes place inside the famous Wilhelmina modeling agency in New York, where agents and bookers offer some very harsh advice to the young models. While already thin by normal standards, the walking waifs are continually told by their handlers to lose weight, workout more -- and to look like a "bloody stick."

Starvation always makes for great reality TV.  Think of "The Agency" as "Survivor" for gangly teenagers.  And just like with NASCAR, it's no fun until somebody crashes.

"The Agency" airs Tuesdays at 10:00 PM on VH1.
