Who in the world submits to this stuff?!?

Really?!?

Role Role Type Gender/Age/Ethnicities Description/Note Contestant Other Female / 18 to 40 / All Ethnicities Must have a good figure to enter. Winner will have a great bottom and loads of talent. The not so talented will still get good exposure. Must be comfortable being judged not only on your talent but also on your appearance and bottom. **PLEASE ONLY SUBMIT IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH** **PLEASE NOTE YOUR INTEREST IN THIS PROJECT**

I wonder who in the world submits to shows like this? I hope they're getting paid a boatload of money to make it an easier pill to swallow when they look back years later and wonder what the hell they were thinking.

Oh what can I say about this one? First of all, it's deferred. Meaning whoever takes this role will only get paid if this is bought by a distributor {and that's a big if!}. Second, do you really think they're going to watch the demo reels of all the actors who submit? Puh-lease. Just be real. Big ta-ta's are the main qualifier for these roles. Don't ask for reels too as if that will make a big difference... Although, maybe they're watching the reels to size up said ta-ta's.

Anyhow, my ta-ta's are small {but still pretty, don't get it twisted!} so I will happily pass on this one.

Notice what Hollywood considers "plus-size"...

For fun I thought I'd share with you some of the more interesting casting notices I see on a daily basis, starting with this one...

Casting Notice
Project Name:	Search of Super Spokesmodels (REALITY)
Project Type:	Reality TV
Rate/Compensation:	between $250-$500 depending on experience and credits
Message:
Role Role Type Gender/Age/Ethnicities Description/Note super spokesmodel search Featured Female / 21 to 33 / All Ethnicities The reality series is search for the Super Spokesmodel. The participants/contestants are given special assignments that are comedic, witty, unique and unusual by nature. The girls are judged on beauty, wit, charisma, smarts, and an overall presence in front of the camera

I just can't do it. It seems like the show has a nice enough premise but I shudder to think of all the cattiness and contrived behind the scenes drama that will most likely be more important than the girls actual talent. It is Reality TV after all.

Gonna pass on submitting to this one.
