My grandma was watching the news one night and heard about this casting call. They were going to have the casting call the next day at a Lane Bryant store and my grandma thought I needed to go do it. I couldn't say no and figured it wouldn't hurt anything to try it out. I thought it was a casting call for modeling in a Lane Bryant catalogue and figured "HECK YEAH, I'LL GO" I even already brought some business clothes along with me on my trip to California.
We drove kinda far away to the Lane Bryant store that the casting was at. Besides two other girls, I was one of the first ones there. This took quite a long amount of time to go through it.
The new show is a mixture of The Bachelor for curvy women. Take a look at http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/03/30/2009-03-30_fox_plans_reality_show_for_averagelookin.html for a little more information on it. They are making the new show because most all the other shows have thin girls in them and they want a show for what they call an average American girl that is a size 14 and above and has curves. I fit in that catagory at the moment. I was patiently waiting for my turn for the interview. It was my turn next. They called me up and one of the casting directors already liked me and told me I'm good for the show. After the interview, I was given a HUGE packet of papers to fill out that was, let me say, more than 30 pages of paper. My grandma and I went on over to the Denny's that was right there and I filled out the papers for more than about 30 minutes. In a couple days after filling the paper out I got a phone call and email to send them some full body and face picures.
Here's the kicker, I got a phone call again to come back for another interview with the producers. The taping will be 3 weeks long for the show. I have to go meet with the producers and then might get called up again for the taping. This won't hurt anything if I do it and you just might see me on t.v. Who knows where this will take me!? It's about timing right now and we'll see where this takes me.
