Body double wanted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know how Hollywood stars sometimes have body doubles that can play parts of films they don\u2019t want to? I think it\u2019s mainly for things like stunts or doubling for the naked scenes if a star doesn\u2019t want to do that sort of thing. Well, I\u2019ve hit on an idea. I\u2019m now auditioning for a body double who can substitute for me on some of my video calls. It was fun to begin with, but I\u2019ve taken to getting a bit fidgety and playing up. It\u2019s the whole sitting still for half an hour thing, it never was my forte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When both Dad and Mum are in the same place and sitting either side of me it\u2019s not so bad, but when I\u2019ve only got Mum here and Dad is on the screen along with the people I\u2019m meeting, well I\u2019ve started to rebel a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Pay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t pay very well. I can offer the odd Bonio here and there, but just think of the good you\u2019d be doing. You should see it more as a calling rather than a paid career. Just imagine how proud you could be telling your friends that you\u2019re the famous Wilma\u2019s body double. Ok, so maybe not so famous, but a girl can dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housemates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been letting Shadow and Aristotle do some of them, but frankly they just aren\u2019t so good at it. Shadow prefers to lie on the floor than be up on the settee for very long. She also has a tendency to get overexcited and lunge straight into Mum\u2019s face. That never goes down well. As for Aristotle, the problem there is he doesn\u2019t like to stay up late. He gets very twitchy as bed time approaches in case Mum expects him to stay up. I think if he were going to really do them properly we\u2019d have to move them to earlier in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me back to the fact that the only solution is to advertise for a body double. Please email me if you would like to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
