The Agency is a fly-on-the-wall documentary that follows the staff of top modelling agency Wilhelmina Models, and provides a peep-hole into the catty world of modelling. Meow. There's lots of bitching, lots of back-stabbing and lots of models.
But the real stars of The Agency are not the fit models; it's the staff at Wilhelmina - the people behind the people with nice behinds.
In the series you'll get an insight into the often turbulent relationship between agents and their models. There are lots of big egos, bad tempers, demands and rudeness... and then there's the models!

Early in Tuesday's Episode 1, (Becky Southwick) lays into slacker model Chloe, who looks as though a stiff breeze could blow her all the way to the Hamptons.
Still, Becky deems her a veritable "Pillsbury Dough Boy."
"You've got fatter," Chloe is told. "And I've just said the f-word."
This leaves Chloe near tears, even though she knows how it goes.
"There's no feeling involved in this business," Chloe says matter-of-factly. But don't take it personally or you'll be crushed like a bug.

If big-time modeling really works this way, then The Agency might be doing a public service by shining a light on it. But it's more likely that Becky Southwick is a creature, if not a creation, of very selective editing. Surely she wouldn't agree that in real life she's little more than a banshee.
