Sometimes, when I am not working or not booking as much as I would like, I scan craigslist to see if there is anything that I would be interested in doing or maybe submitting my portfolio for some of the (few) paying and (loads) non-paying gigs. I ran across this post in the TV, Film Section. Please note all words in red are my personal edits and red flags.

Show is shooting in Los Angeles for 7 weeks starting in mid-April.
Accommodations and airfare will NOT be provided for...
Now why did they get the "you tried it" you ask? Well while this maybe a great opportunity, What reality show is so great that you have to pay for your own accommodation and airfare to participate? Thats like Tyra asking Chicks who participate in America's Next Top Model for Rent... Really?!
What will be the unforgettable prize? Being reimbursed for participating?
I don't get it. If you do...please comment and explain...
If you want the actual email because you are down with this foolishness. I will send it to you...(no judgments) However This Craigslist ad gets a "You TRIIIIIIIED IT!"

So, I finally got my internet fixed and will be back to posting on the site after the weekend is over. Did you miss me? During my hiatus, I was able to really think about what I want for the site, so there will be some changes being made over the weekend and some new weekly features on movies, magazines and artist we should be seeing and knowing. I am so glad to finally be back in blogger seat again!!!!
See you soon

SO 2007 ended with quite a bang! First off let me say Merry Christmas Feliz Navidad, Happy New Year, Kwanzaa! Hanukkah and all that. Things were a little hectic going into 2007-2008. I got a few last minute projects, a few personal surprises and then friends over for the holidays! Then I was off to Texas to do some work with a Hairstylist colleague and to visit my family and friends. Then,I had a death in my family that extended my trip a few more days. Now I am back though my post will be regulated to once a week while I get a few things sorted out with my Internet access. Did you miss me? Was there some important beauty news I missed? Tell me! I have a few things coming up to you know...like a little thing that happens here in NYC called FASHION WEEK!!! Also my $.o2 on the new spring cosmetic collections and even more Beauty Industry info and tips! Until then, Laters!
