Out and About: Wanna Be a GAY Reality Star?

Just found out at one of my favorite websites, Towelroad.com, that a very drag-sounding production company, Stiletto Casting, is looking for "charismatic" queers to "star" in a new reality show called "The Great Gay Escape."

Their site, Stilettocasting.com wants to gather "12 strangers" (that's five more than MTV's The Real World needs) to live together and…well, we can only assume fight over shoes and which one will be the "bottom." The series will tape this summer at a "fabulous" (I'm so over that word) gay vacation destination oasis.

I am way too old for this, but I still think Poison Waters (see above, right) fits the age group. By the way, does anyone but me remember seeing him on one of the very first spin-offs of The Real World called "Class Reunion?"

Here is what they're looking for:

CHARISMATIC GAY / BISEXUAL MEN
(21-40) any ethnicity, all types, including:
o PARTY BOYS
o BUSINESSMEN
o DRAG QUEENS
o EX-MILITARY
o JOCKS
o FRAT BOYS
o MODEL-TYPES

CHARISMATIC LESBIAN / BISEXUAL WOMEN
(21-40) any ethnicity, all types, including:
o BUSINESSWOMEN
o BUTCH
o FEMME
o ATHLETES
o DRAG KINGS
o SORORITY
o MODEL-TYPES
CHARISMATIC TRANSGENDER / GENDER-FLUID MEN & WOMEN
(21-40) any ethnicity, all types.

They're not hold auditions any where near here, but they're accepting mail-in submissions until March 5.

Go ahead, Portland, make us proud!
