Something interesting I came across. Model Dominique Sharpe was on a reality show called The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency where she was all uptight and religious and refused to do nudity. I’ve been checking off and on for a while now and I finally came across her doing a topless shot. She posed for Uncle Terry and in 2014, fetish pictorials for Jonathan Leder.

‘Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency’: Jesus hates your naked body
Last time on Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, we ended on a SUPER INTENSE cliffhanger: Would Dominique compromise her morals and pose naked in front of old people, or would she defy Janice and risk having her eyes clawed out? Tonight, we find out. And it involves “Model4Jesus.” I seriously can’t wait. (Spoiler alert? Sort of? Even though this show really just spoils itself through previews in the first two minutes?)
At the elderly art class, Janice and Dominique meet in the middle, and Dominique ends up posing in her panties. The old people, unsurprisingly, loved the whole experience–especially the guys. Who appreciate experiencing the “variety of the human body.” If by that you mean “variety of emaciated girls and well-built guys,” then yeah. It’s truly astonishing. Janice interviews with some B.S. about how she creates these types of situations to push her models’ boundaries, and see who’ll be able to make it in the long run. So…the fact that they make for dramatic television is just sugar-free icing on the fat-free cake?
Afterwards, Dominique decides to confront her nudity issues by turning to Model4Jesus. She brings Michael to the community church with her, since he has had a similar problem with Janice. The founder explains to us that Model4Jesus is a ministry that shows people that they don’t have to conform to the world’s idea of beauty. And…it does that by bringing together people who DO conform to that idea of beauty? Okaaay. Coincidentally, the first question in the meeting is whether anyone has had a client ask them to do something they didn’t feel comfortable doing. Dominique draws a line in the sand, and that line is her bathing suit–no nudity (I feel that this leaves a bit of wiggle room on the underwear front).
She decides to bring Models4Jesus with her to break the news to Janice. This has the potential for awesomeness. Ten to one it ends with Janice pinning down all the Models4Jesus and stripping them herself. It starts off ugly, with Janice rightfully telling Dominique she feels ganged-up-on. Janice yells at them all that you have to be able to be naked to be a model, and then tells Dominique that she can’t sell her if she has so many issues with nudity, basically kicking her out of the agency.
Dominique’s line in the sand, predictably, begins to slip a bit, and she says she’s okay with tasteful nudity. Michael pisses Janice off by talking too much, and Janice is still mad at Dominique for not coming alone and for acting like a know-it-all after being discovered at a chain restaurant, but they both keep their places in the agency. For now. So…no throw-downs? Aww.
At a shoot, we learn that the shoot is going to be really edgy, with semi-nude shots, kissing, and skinny-dipping. And yeah, Dominique isn’t on board with taking her top off. Janice decides that this is a Valuable Lesson for Dominique. And dude, Danny had to have his ass shaved. On television. Suck it up, Dominique. And yeah, of course, she does it. Janice is shocked (I’m not), and decides that she and Dominique are BFF again, since Dominique is doing such a great job booking gigs. After some package-stuffing and guy-kissing (almost), the shoot wraps successfully.
Dominique attended The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and graduated with a degree in Marketing. After graduating and living in Los Angeles she realized that modeling and acting was where her heart was really at.
After being chosen by super model Janice Dickinson to be on her hit show the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, which aired on the Oxygen network for two years, Dominiqueβs love for the entertainment industry marinated.
Since the show she has had the opportunity to shoot with numerous famous photographers some of which include Terry Richardson, Greg Gorman, Ben Watts and Matthew Rolston.
She recently joined the Yeezus 2014 tour as a backup performer for Kanye West.
Dominique is represented commercially by NTA talent group and for print with M Model Management and No Ties San Diego.
