Painful to Watch

Brutally honest modeling agent Becky Southwick has been described as the Simon Cowell of "The Agency," VH1's reality TV show about the Wilhelmenia modeling agency, making the show a guilty pleasure full of insults masked as professional advice. "You're like the Pillsbury doughboy," Ms. Southwick told one model, whose waistline had grown to an unforgivable 36.5 inches. "Her chin looks like a canoe," she said of another model, whom she compared to Jay Leno. "Hi, you’re too old and you’re too short," says her associate, Pink, a large man covered with tattoos who's not short on unkind words himself. "Your face is asymmetrical, your eyes are too close together, your nose is off at an angle," Pink told another unfortunate aspiring model. "Do you want me to keep going?" [via the New York Times]
