I have another opportunity like the Idol one.. though perhaps, slightly more uncool... all for $100 dollars pocket money (maybe 200) and 6 free cds...

I am shooting an infomercial next Thursday...

I know... what are they thinking? Is it not bad enough that I'm comfortably upholstered? Now I have to gain that on camera 10lbs and show it off to the whole of Australia!!!!

I must be insane...

Still, I decided, after shying away from these kind of opportunities in the past, that I would take them up when I could... hence the 'yes' vote when asked to listen to these cds and undertake an on camera interview to tell the director of the commercial how great the are!

It's for the latest collection of Time Life 'Songs 4 Worship' - you know, those collections of choruses that are sold in the middle of the night on the telly!!!

Well, if you stay up late enough and assuming my ugly mug doesn't get left on the cutting room floor, you might get to see me... (if the camera likes me extra 10lbs and all...). If I am one of the favoured and my interview is included I will get an extra hundred bucks into the bargain... Christmas Money - gotta be happy with that, right? Not to mention getting my make up done and having wardrobe provided... Gotta be good for you... Unless I have to wear a suitably conservative Floral number...

Actually, I'm not sure if I get to keep the cds - oh well, I own most of the albums these songs are collected from anyway... At least I wont have to lie if asked "did you listen to them?"
