okay, so sunday afternoon i went to a wedding expo with michelle, ann, and my neice hailey. we mostly went to get free cake and hors devouers samples, of which there were slim pickins... the two cakes we did eat were tasty though. and it was discovered that though they look real cool, chocolate fountains are much more trouble than they're worth. though the pictures of the mess are adorable. stay tuned for when my computer makes the trek to the new place, pics will follow!

i know the past couple posts have been wedding wedding wedding blah blah blah, but this post will be different! (except for the fact that i already mentioned the wedding). this post will be about how josh and i were almost on a reality tv show! a wedding reality tv show! (HAHAHAHAHHAHAH i'm such a damn liar, you're already hearing about weddings again! pow!!!)

so at this expo, there was a table set up by the E! channel. and they're taking applications for their new show, "last bride standing: to have and to hold". it's gonna be this hour-long special, where 7 chicks hold on to a wedding dress over an ungodly period of time, and the last one holding the dress wins a designer wedding gown made specially for them.

me, i'm not so interested in designer duds. i'm currently wearing my target jeans and explodingdog tshirt. but make an ass of myself on cable television? YES PLEASE!

so i went up to the table and start talking to the ladies running the audition. and i filled out the paperwork, and they videotaped me doing and interview with them. and i had em laughing the whole time, it was pretty awesome, and i was super jazzed about my chances. even more so when we found out a short while later that one of the ladies i had been talking to, that was laughing so much, was E!s casting director.

lo and behold, this afternoon i got an email saying congrats! if you read and sign these legal release forms we'll seriously consider you for the show! I ALMOST CRAPPED MYSELF RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!! shit! steph on tv!?!?! YES PLEASE!!!

but then i got home and started reading the forms, and taping starts on april 9, and would be at least 3 days. meaning i'd miss time from work. not a big deal, but josh and i are already skipping out of four days of work at the end of april for sidewalk arts shenanigans. i feel like i'm too new at mighty fine to take that much time off right this second, you know? i don't wanna tarnish the reputation and all that. cuz i really, really dig this job.

so i had to kick myself in the ass and write an email to the fine folks at E!, telling them thank you SO MUCH, but explaining why early april just will not work for me, and could they please keep me in mind for the future?

and that my friends, is how i almost became a reality tv star but then didn't. the end!
