Yay! A Festival!

Way back when, in the olden days before blogs existed, Gabby started collecting annoying casting notices in her email (most were sent via a list serv). Some have already been tweaked and added to NR/NP, some still sit gathering dust in an AOL account (I'm kidding - who uses AOL anymore?). Here's a blast way back to the past... all the way to 2002 (or so). So, let's take a peek at this ad and ask ourselves if the marriage of thong bikinis and miniskirts into a "festival" is as good a marriage as Liza Minnelli's to David Gest:

From: "suntanguy" <XXXXX.net>
Subject: Annual Thong Bikini / Mini Skirt Festival

Our Annual Thong Bikini and Mini Skirt Festival is looking for beautiful, exotic, sexy, long legged, long haired, tall, thin female models and contestants, sizes small and medium only. For consideration and an invitation to participate you need to submit a full body image of you in a mini skirt and a thong bikini via snail mail or email to XXXXX. Fine Art Productions, R. XXXXX Pictures, MultiMedia, InterActive XXXXX, Newburgh, NY 12550-4034

I can't decide which I like better - the fact that this is a "festival", that the company producing it has "Fine Art" in the title, or that the guy who wrote the ad goes by the nickname "suntanguy". (Hey - you don't think it's George Hamilton, do you?)

Sexy In A Non-Sexual Way

Way back when, in the olden days before blogs existed, Gabby started collecting annoying casting notices in her email. Some have already been tweaked and added to NR/NP, some still sit gathering dust in an AOL account (I'm kidding - does AOL exist anymore?). Here's a blast way back to the past... all the way to 2002-ish. So, let's crank up the 2002 Nelly, read this nutty ad, and really feel the pressure to take off all our clothes:

Golden Lite Pictures of NY is casting for the lead female role in a sexy comedy SHORT to be shot on digital in NYC in April. As far as Acting Skills, the part requires good dialogue skills, good timing with both deliveries & reactions. (Oh wow... so is that what acting is???) Physical Requirements: imperative -- very attractive, aged 18-26, very sexy but in a clean-cut way, and the role is very sexy as far as the humor being set-up via a sensual presence & attitude, and requires some butt and breast nudity but certainly/absolutely non-sexual; (But you said it was a "sexy comedy short"? I'm confused. Oh, well - if I have to show some T&A for you in a 'non-sexual' way and act at the same time, then I'm sure you're gonna make it worth my while... right?) Meals will be provided, and of course a copy of the completed tape. There is no pay at this time. (Oh.) Please send a note or any pertinent info, along with a resume if you have one, and any JPG photos that you have.

I have to write a note? And send a resume if I have one? Wow, this acting thing is hard.
