An email I just got...

Hi there,
I'm working on a casting at the moment for Superdrug, and we need to find three attractive and feminine transvestite characters for the campaign.

Attractive and feminine, I'm flattered! Please continue!

I came across your site online and was wondering if you might know who I could approach, where I could find three gorgeous girls who would be willing to be in a photographic campaign.

Oh... so you're not talking about me then. No, it's okay, I can take it. I see. Fine.

We will be casting for a day in London next week. I don't know the exact date for the casting or the shoot yet but if picked they would each get £1000. It would be really helpful to point me in the right direction and anyone you know, or places to scout, would be much appreciated. We need to cast people ASAP.

Um... a grand eh? I wish I was an attractive and feminine transvestite. Ho-hum. So does anyone else fancy it? Email me and I'll pass on the contact details. She sent me some samples of the kind of work they want to do, and it actually does look quite classy!

Oh, and while we're on the subject of subtly insulting me, I just read this comment on Siobhan's Blog, which has just been restored after a major server crash:

Susan writes: OMG I wondered why your site was knacked yesterday - I had to go over to Becky's.

Oh my, what a disaster, Siobhan's blog was down so she had to visit mine! Poor her! What is this, National Pick on Becky Day!? Grumblemumblemumble.

nikki hay becky, i think you you great,they should use you.

Siobhan Curran attractive and feminine transvestite characters ... wondering if you might know who I could approach

Want to pass them on to me?

but if picked they would each get £1000

Wait, scrub that - I don't get out of bed for less than £10K (or 10am - one of the two)

Grumblemumblemumble

Check your Karma-bank-balance there hon - I think the last post you made has just pushed you overdrawn. A few "OMG a terrible thing happened to me" post and you'll be back on track :)

Karol Cross Happens to us all hon. I've just checked my website stats (see what youve started me on!), and I've had not one but two visitors looking for "t-girl siobhan"!

I think shes taking over the world! :)

steph_angel Don't get toooooooooooo down-hearted Bex, they sent me exactly the same email :-(

I thought "what the hell..." so replied to say that I'd like to do it!!!

They've not replied yet ;-)

Becky Strange thing is I've just got the same email from the same person via a different address. Hmm.

Joanna They must be working their way down the list. They've moved on from B for Becky, to J for Joanna.... I got my post this morning.

Rachel "looking for "t-girl siobhan"!"

Yeah me too, Karol, although I'm not complaining coz I get about a thousand referrals a month from her site, which accounts for about 12% of total traffic, so really I should be saying thanx!

Becky, now we know you're only playing grumpy for effect, girl. But nevertheless it is a bit cheeky the way they worded their request - thought about charging a finder's fee?

Lauren Smith Hey, I got that email too!! Didn't reply to it though. It'd take a damn sight more than £1000 to make me go the 300 miles to the Smoke... only been there twice in my whole life. I'm too young for this anyway (they asked for mid-twenties or later.)
