National Casting Call for Expectant Moms & Dads for New Reality Show Abt Funny Side of Pregnancy

Pregnancy


Doron Ofir Casting has just announced they are conducting a nationwide search for pregnant women with big personalities (think: loud and proud) and their dads-to-be significant others to share their stories while expecting. This is for an undisclosed major cable network.  Since I already have triplets, I'm not applying but some of you readers might be interested.

With all the reality series being produced these days it was only a matter of time before one about the wild and crazy side of awaiting the birth of a new child would be casting a new show. 

Having had four children within a year -- a son followed in quick succession by triplets -- I don't remember pregnancy as being particularly hilarious myself but it did have equal mountains of challenges and joys to work through. Honestly I can't begin to imagine what this show will be like. But suffice it to say that it will likely be quite interesting to watch the wacky follies of others going through something that many of us have gone through before them. In fact it's nearly as old as the world itself: the drama leading up to childbirth.

Doron Ofir, the Hollywood epic casting company behind Millionaire Matchmaker and Jersey Shore -- and self-described as being inspired by and contributing to the world of pop culture -- is looking for expectant mothers to lead them down the paths of their high maintenance and intriguing journeys of pregnancy. Ofir's credits also include many other reality show names you'll recognize: Tori & Dean: Storibook Wedding, Paris Hilton's My New BFF, Trading Spaces, Wife Swap and a bunch more.

If you've ever been pregnant yourself or been with someone who was/is you may know what this potentially means: A path that can sometimes be derailed by irrational episodes, demanding experiences and who knows what else. Ah what fun it is to be expecting, isn't it?

Says Ofir, "I think women are the most beautiful when pregnant, it's with respect and curiosity I chose to explore the madness behind the glow." 

According to the casting call news release I received, moms-to-be and their partners who appear to be between the ages of 21 and 35 and want to take part in this brand new docu-series can apply online at Pregzillascasting.com  If selected, the couple will receive an episodic stipend of $5,000.

FTC Disclosure: I have no connection to those offering this opportunity and am simply passing on information about this casting call because it may be of interest to some readers. I did not receive any payment or other compensation associated with this post.

Unique Eco Friendly Art Experience - Win a Trip to L.A. for The Reverse Graffiti Gallery

Art & Culture
Sweepstakes details below

 




On Tuesday, May 29th one of Los Angeles’ filthiest alleys will be transformed into a beautiful masterpiece for The Reverse Graffiti Gallery -- without paint. What seems like an oxymoron is actually an eco friendly outdoor power washing art technique using Green Works cleaning products called reverse graffiti or clean tagging. The mural that is left behind is created without any paint or other harmful chemicals by masking select areas of walls and spot cleaning exposed flat surfaces that deeply contrast with the underlying urban grime buildup.

Watch this to see how this amazing art form is created:



Green Works Reverse Graffiti Gallery Sweepstakes

The best part is that YOU can enter to win an all expenses-paid trip for two to L.A. to be there on May 29. If you're the winner you won't be just another spectator, though. You'll be an artist helping Green Works turn an eyesore into a thing of artistic beauty for its latest installment of The Reverse Graffiti Gallery.

Grand Prize includes
  • All expenses-paid trip to L.A. to attend the Reverse Graffiti Gallery opening 
  • An opportunity to create a reverse graffiti image that will appear in the final art piece 
  • A $1,000 gift card to go shopping
  • Day passes to some of the City of Angel's best art museums 
Three additional first prize winners selected at random will each win $50 in Green Works products.
