Having thoroughly exploited drunk housemates, teenage moms, expectant teenage moms, online couples and the real Orange County, among many other reality television endeavors, it appears that MTV now has its sights set on making a show about "fun, fabulous and fancy" young Asian Americans.Do you have an incredible group of friends who know how to spend a buck or two?
According to this casting call, MTV is looking for a group of young Asian American friends who "aren't wary of spending what they earn (or don't!) and are proud of their Asian American heritage." Throw in a little in-group drama and some classic Asian parental disappointment, and you've got a recipe for reality TV.
Here's the casting call:
Do you have an incredible group of friends who know how to spend a buck or two?
Calling all fun fabulous and fancy friends! MTV is looking for its next group of fun fashionistas who aren't wary of spending what they earn (or don't!) and are proud of their Asian American heritage. Do you have an incredible group of friends that you spend every waking moment with? Is there always some sort of drama going on in your group? Do you have trouble balancing between living the American dream and your parents expectations of embracing your Asian culture? Do you and your friends live life to the fullest and try your best to make every moment count? Do your parents disapprove of your spending habits or lavish lifestyle choices?
If this sounds like you and your friends, please send an email to fabfriendscasting@mtv.com with the name, locations, contact info, brief introduction to yourself and each individual friend you want to include. Please make sure to attach a recent picture of yourself and the friends you've included as well.
It feels like I've recently posted a lot of reality show casting calls looking for Asian Americans, though I don't know if any of those actually panned out. This feels a little reminiscent of one I posted last year, also looking for affluent Asian Americans, but with an emphasis on multi-generational families. Is it me, or does it feel like reality show producer's been reading Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians?
