This week I'm reading...
Let the games begin.
Rosie Butler, my twenty-eight-year-old, uberorganized assistant, stands at my desk dressed in a taupe Ann Taylor pantsuit, her butterscotch hair tucked neatly under her chin. Rosie's eyes are riveted to her phone sheet.
"The Lethal Stilettos notes meeting was moved to three. So now you have two back-to-back pitch meetings. One with Fox, the other with Warners," says Rosie. Despite the hectic pace, she remains col and collected. "The Of Corpse She's Alive dailies are on your iPad. The producers think they suck and want to fire their director and hire the one you suggested. Standards has an issue on Bunnies; the actresses need to wear nipple covers. The female studio exec on Alpha Male wants to cast the guy from Glee in the role of Coach Bob Knight. The writers are freaking out and begging you to call that woman, whom they referred to as a first-class...well, you know."
So, what do you think? Would you continue reading?
Sounds like she has a hectic job there~good teaser!

ReplyDeleteHere's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
Meh...sound slike it could be funny, but don't know if it's one for me. My teaser: Old Bones
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun story. I wouldn't want her job. Come see my teasers for Charmed Vengeance by Suzanne Lazear and Saving Paradise by Mike Bond. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely keep reading. It reminds me a little of The Devil Wears Prada.
ReplyDeleteI would need to read a bit more to decide.
