Want to be on TV?
A nationally-syndicated daytime talk show is looking for a socialite-Paris Hilton-type who has led a privileged life and wants to give back to others who are less fortunate. We'd want to film with this person in the next few days, and she would also be an in-studio guest on Wednesday, 12/5 at 1:30, so would need to be free that afternoon. Ideally, this person would be a teenager or in her early 20s. Sisters would work as well. We want to see footage of a beautiful home, a closet full of Jimmy Choos and Prada, see glamorous dresses, jewels and make-up, and get a sense of her glamorous lifestyle. Then, in studio we would reveal a meaningful project that she will be doing to give back to others. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you.
