You Like Me? You Really, Really Like Me? (Or Maybe You Just Like Searching For 'Naked Boobs'?)

Darlingest Readers,

Sometimes here at Chez NR/NP, Gabby is unhappy to find sad comments left by those who have taken offense to this little blog that is a Labor of Lust. Days like those make Gabby reach for the vodka.
But, sometimes there is also good news! Blogger added a statistics page so now Gabby can see how many of you stumble across this tiny, meager little site-that-could. And we're happy to announce that our readership is up! Way up! (Well, from what we can see, considering they didn't add the stats page until Summer 2010.)

What could be more fun that that, you ask??? Knowing what word searches have led some of you to NR/NP! I hope that everyone who Google-d or Bing-ed the following phrases found exactly what they were looking for:

complete nude rape scene
hairy girls exercising naked
naked boobs
boobs naked
simulated rape
grammar uncle leon
naked girls boobs 40 dd craigslist pic
"jt talent and casting"

Much Love,
*G*

"WANTED: Hospital Seeks Nursing Staff. Or Prostitues. Whichever."

Seeking an edgy actress for February in a short play ( Bklyn NY)
Date: 2011-01-09, 5:40PM EST
Reply to: XXXXX.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

Seeking a NYC actress (preferably Brooklyn/Bushwick/Williamsburg area
For rehearsing a short play we are working on to take to Washington DC for 4 days in February

We are a performance group- (XXXXX.net) a non profit arts group of 30 year old men in Bushwick/brooklyn are doing a 3 night show in Washington DC on Feb 10, 11, and 12 called Adventures in The OK Skin Trade. 4 actors. A 25 minute piece.

Looking to fill a big role for a girl that we are looking for a cool as shit talented actress to be in it. If u are free and interested let me know and we will send u the script. We will rehearse 2 nights a week ( with a weekend day added possibly ) over the next 5 weeks.

we rehearse/live here in Brooklyn, but yes- we are taking the show to D.C. For 3 nights in Feb.

In DC we were invited to be a part of a festival so they are providing transportation and lodging fees for us. We will rehearse in Bushwick and in the Village and drink alcohol probably as we rehearse. It's a bizarre piece. (Sounds it.) The character we had u in mind for is "the matron" - a listless young woman of dubious trade ( something of a nurse or prostitute ) (Nursing is dubious? And akin to prostitution? I never knew...) addicted to doses of liquid opium, dressed in tassels (Where are the tassels placed? This might be an important point to clarify...), sequins, & garters of a bygone era, wears an eye patch, & a mysterious birth mark on her forehead. The other 3 characters are all men. Their names are "the baron", "the rustler", and "the auctioneer"....

We'll rehearse Thurs and Sun nights for the next 5 weeks which should suffice for a 20-25 minute play. No set, but quite elaborate costumes. Will send a script via email for consideration.

we are wild, ridiculous fine young gentlemen artists who do not care about a lot of the things some 'new' theatre people who have come to NYC to care about. (Like maintaining a professional, trustworthy working environment that is safe for females?) There's no payment aside for accommodation and credit for this. That being said, we might be good for your resume (we've got a legitimate and cool NYC Indy theatre cred) but more importantly we are smart, fucked up, sweet artists doing real fun stuff and it is always a positive life in art experience taking an adventure.

Respond with a resume and headshot. Please have a Wild spirit, risk taking capacity, open heart, and decent technique. Should we hold auditions they would be within the next week in a wild loft apartment in Bushwick off the Morgan stop L train.

P.s. -- an ability and interest in playing a role with fast-paced lines with great comic timing (yet also with sincerity when needed) is important.

I'm all for experimental theatre - good for you. But a good actress probably knows better than to audition in a sketchy loft apartment in Bushwick with a bunch of 30-something dudes. (I hope.)

PS - You wrote all that out on your iPod but couldn't be bothered to write the three-letter word "You"? That seems weird to me.

No matter how good the quality of your work is, one of the first rules of professionalism is to make sure all your correspondence is up to snuff. And technology makes it so easy for us! Just looking at this message without even touching the spell check button, I see a million little red squiggles. And yet... travesties abound. I hope their show went off without a hitch, and that all the Cacausion, hispanic and Caribean friends and family who responsed and were casted didn't have a issue.
