I mean... REALLY like to shop? Do you have trouble setting and keeping a budget? If you have to choose whether you should buy groceries or that new big screen TV, we want to hear from you! A production company is searching for outgoing individuals who not only love to but have to shop. We are looking for someone who insists on going to the mall on a daily basis. If your shopping habit is beginning to take over your life and no matter how much you buy you never have enough, you may be the person we are looking for. If your spending is excessive and are losing control of your finances and space in your closet, you may be who we want! Please submit a short summary (4-5 sentences) explaining why you would be perfect for the show, a headshot and a short video of yourself to give us an idea of what your personality is like and what you like to buy and why you can't stop shopping. All items can be submitted to realcasting101@gmail.com. (NOTE: if you do not submit a video you WILL NOT be considered).Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01389953717531084630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-1157891252859517032006-09-11T00:27:32.860+12:002006-09-11T00:27:32.860+12:00Oh goodness. I'm very happy I'm not a shopaholic. I guess I always saw that as a funny thing. Doesn't sound like it.Pass The Torchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13869105153697026130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-1157831588046952672006-09-10T07:53:08.046+12:002006-09-10T07:53:08.046+12:00It all comes down to the money, as far as I can tell, so maybe it's a financial security thing. I just can't stand handing money over to other people (i.e., I'll wear old clothes until they fall apart instead of spending money on new clothes). I'm not sure why.<BR/><BR/>I'm definitely unlucky when it comes to food, though ... if it were up to me, sugary foods would be the *only* thing I'd eat. :)Nancyhttp://www.nancy.cc/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-1157779526995671152006-09-09T17:25:26.996+12:002006-09-09T17:25:26.996+12:00Definitely better for your wallet. <BR/>Although I'd say you were REALLY lucky if you didn't like sugary foods. They seem to be my downfall. Soooo much exercise to burn them off!<BR/><BR/>I agree that not being able to make decisions, in any context, would be frustrating and potentially debilitating.<BR/><BR/>You would need to look at the reason behind your indecisiveness i.e. what do you fear will happen if you make the wrong choice? Are you worried about financial security, do you fear losing everything, worry what other people may think (e.g. a partner/parent who monitors your shopping), are you always looking for the "perfect" item and afraid this will not be perfect? Is there another gap that needs to be filled?Talia Manahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08021644688776666185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-1157769584269617042006-09-09T14:39:44.270+12:002006-09-09T14:39:44.270+12:00I'm actually the opposite of this -- I can't stand shopping. :) <BR/><BR/>My friends say I'm lucky, but agonizing over each and every shopping decision is actually a pain. <BR/><BR/>This is probably a lot more rare (and less financially destructive) than "shopaholism," but it can be pretty debilitating at times.Nancyhttp://www.nancy.cc/noreply@blogger.com
