TV star? Moi?
Jun. 19th, 2008 02:42 pmOMG, you guys. The other day, I was watching the new HGTV series Rate My Space. There's a page on the HGTV web site where people can post pics of their spaces, and other members rate them. They started a new series based off that page, where low-rated sites will get a visit from the designer host, Angelo Surmelis (who, I discovered, at some point was an actor -- when I captured clips for my Club VIvid vid, I saw him in an Angel episode, playing a computer surveillance guy working at Wolfram & Hart). He helps them make over their low-star spaces, inspired by a couple different spaces they find at the site they'd like to incorporate the look of.
After I posted, and got a few nice comments, I got an email from one of the producers of the show. She asked if I would be willing to be an inspiration space, especially because the lighting is so great. They show the people who have the inspiration spaces, talking online with the makeover folks and the host. Which means if I was chosen, I'd not only have to clean everything up like whoa, but I'd also have to be on camera, which... ugh. It's not just that I'm ugly, it's that I'm ugly AND incredibly nonphotogenic. I mean, the camera freaking hates me. My face has no real definition, and it turns into one big fat blob blancmange thing, with my fifteen chins the only thing you really see.
I've always wanted to be on an HGTV show, especially Curb Appeal because the outside of the house needs such desperate help, but they never film anything here in the Northwest that's centered on design -- only real estate stuff like House Hunters and My House Is Worth What? So it's really cool that someone thinks my space is inspirational for other remodlers, but I'm kind of afraid of being on TV like that.
But there are no guarantees, anyway, so it might not happen. But I got asked! That's the coolest thing.
And, so, hey -- go rate my space! It started slipping down into just "good" territory, and I need more five star votes from my friends. :: makes little hamsterlike begging motions:: It's here.
AND OMG again: I just got an email from her with attachments for release forms and they want me to send a tape to them by next week Monday. I don't know if I can do that!
