Hi this is Missy!

I started SuicideGirls ten years ago and for a good part of those ten years we’ve been trying to create a tv show about our live tour: the SuicideGirls Burlesque Show. Vh1 has been nice enough to give us a shot at it, and so we’re going to start things off by looking for some of the most unique, interesting & beautiful burlesque performers in the US.

If you are a female over the age of 18, eligible to work full time in the United States, and have a background in dance, we would love to meet you!

We are looking for women who are:

INDEPENDENT
DYNAMIC
SEXY
STRONG
EDGY

Those with tattoos, piercings, and talents such as burlesque dancing, fire twirling, contortion, aerial talents on rings or silks, or anything unique are encouraged to apply.

Open call auditions are being held in Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles to find dancers for this documentary style series about pursuing your dreams in the world of burlesque.

This Week Dr. Grimes Saves America

Certifiably Jonathan is a charming documentary on the past comedic works of 85 year old Jonathan Winters, which serves as an introduction to his entire other career as an incredible painter. As a comedian Jonathan Winters is a genius, and this film brings together a huge group of people – including Robin Williams to Sarah Silverman – who have been influenced by his decidedly quirky brand of humor. Directed by Jim Pasternak, this documentary turned mockumentary is hilarious the whole way through, and contains more amazing cameos then you can imagine. There are very few living legends today, and he is one of them. In the footage of him and Robin Williams, the chemistry and energy between them is just unbelievable.

“You can call me Dani Pudi all you want, with an I.”

The ultimate Community fan encounter might be to be a guest on “Troy and Abed in the Morning” at Greendale Community College. I’ll settle for evening empanadas with Danny Pudi. At NBC’s party for the Television Critics Association, I found Pudi mingling early in the night. We found a corner table to sit at for an interview, and grabbed the hors d’oeuvres that came by.
