What, you don't want to be famous now? (Twitter)

This today, from Doron Ofir Casting, the people behind star-making reality show future-hits like Tattoo Nightmares , EDM (the first Electric Dance Music reality competition) and Tug Of War:

I LOVE MY GROSS GUY!

NATIONAL CASTING!!!!!

I LOVE MY GROSS GUY!
Are you a woman with a dirty little secret? Is your boyfriend/fiancé/husband a dirty obnoxious filthy slob?  Do these words fail to even describe the magnitude of overall grossness your man exhibits? Most importantly - do you love him anyway?

Secret or not, a major cable network is looking for men who are messy, sloppy, filthy, or just plain gross and the women who love them. We're looking for big personalities who aren't afraid to share their true habits with the world (biting their toenails, eating out of dumpsters, fear of bathing, etc). Whatever it is, we want to hear from you!

If you think this sounds like you - and for more information - please send your name, contact information, current photos, a description of your relationship, and why you think you'd be perfect for this show to: unconditionallovecasting@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing your story!

Nothing says professionalism like your production company having a Gmail address. Actually, we really like the idea of this being some weeding out process for the casting director's next girlfriend. "Do you like big, sloppy guys? Email me, you could be right for the part...of playing my wife!"

Now that all the discussions have been had about how diverse (or not) or authentic (or not) the show is (or is not) have been had, we can get on to the pressing matter of portraying the lives of Young Hip Brooklynites with more authenticity and diversity (and authentic diversity) than ever! Or so a casting notice for the second season would have us believe.

From an official Girls casting notice posted to Backstage.com, we now know what "hipster" typecasting looks like:

Seeking—Hipster Types: male and female, 18-30s, all ethnicities, all types, specifically seeking people with tattoos, piercings, colored hair, and unique looks. Young Adult (ages 18-29), Thirties (ages 30-39). Caucasian/White, African-American/Black, Latin/Hispanic/South American, Asian, Native American, European, Middle Eastern, Indian/South Asian, Other.

And no, there's no nudity. So you can't do that. But hey, they're trying to cast diverse..ly. Is this what they call "progress"? That said, we can still fairly accuse the show of slighting Aborigines.

Regardless: Tatted-up "unique looking" Billyburg stage players, your time has come. This is basically Hipster Idol, and your best nonchalance face is about to be put to the test. Only the strong will survive long enough to pretend to have a conversation at some backlit table in a distant corner of Bar Matchless so you may call Mom and Dad in Council Bluffs, and breathlessly let them know: It's not just you that made it.

We all made it. All of us.
