Most actors are (more or less) in a constant state of unemployment. By that, I mean that we are ALWAYS looking for a job. I’d estimate that I apply for at least a half dozen jobs every day. I also believe that the actor’s job hunt is especially demoralizing if you are a woman. For example, I recently saw a job posting about male strippers in which none of the male parts had to be nude but 3 of the women did. Again, this was a piece about MALE strippers. Male strippers who would never have to be naked . . . I’m not sure how that works. From time to time I also see listings demanding women to be 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. How are you not dead? Is that even possible? Does Jack Skellington cross-dress?
Most of the time, you don’t even get an audition. But sometimes, that can be a good thing. I was once asked if I was “still married” . . . WTF! Another time “would you be opposed to similated sex with a man dressed as a goat?” Again, WTF!
Anyway, I came upon a particular gem today during my daily job hunt:
CHLOE AND STACY — Female, 20-30. Any ethnicity. These ladies are unicorn hookers. Chloe & Stacy have huge attitudes and just want their way.
. . . yup.
