[Nfbc-info] Fw: Casting for Reality Television Show

[Michael Peterson]

Good questions Lisamaria!

Also what are they looking for in those pic's photogenic blind folks under 
thirty? or do they need to make sure they look blind.
Why don't they save there money and time just blindfold the diva's with 
their party supplies and let them host the party at the braille institute 
ore the Foundation for the Junior blind.
Or ha ha put them in a van and take them to an NFB chapter meeting--nah that 
wouldn't do.
Of course Blind folks only notice inner beauty right?
Don't tell my wife okay.

Fun food and music on a great sounding stereotype.
Than again what would I be doing with ten beautiful Diva's anyway.
Not to worry, I'm over thirty!
Guess it's back to the babes of battle star galactica.
maybe we can have that party for them when they get to earth!
But, please forgive me if I decide to pick one of the Cylon's instead of the 
human ones.

Mike

>> The premise of the show is 10 "diva" type women who think they are

>> discover that they are actually going to be judged on their inner-beauty 
>> and how good of a person they are.
>> For our premiere episode we are telling the girls that they are throwing 
>> a party for a group of men and women.  They will be in charge of 
>> preparing food and supplying the drinks.  What they don't know is that 
>> everyone coming to the party is blind or visually impaired.
>> The girls and party-goers will mingle and interact throughout the night. 
>> Once the party is over the group of blind/visually impaired guests will 
>> decide who the best host is and in turn, who wins the challenge.
