Hello, my name is Krissy MacQueen [Winters], and I aspire to be an underdog. No really, I do.
Confused? Let me explain.... Cause this is serious. Like, potentially life-changing stuff.
...No, I'm not pregnant.
I am, however, vying for the chance to do something so spectacularly huge that it has the potential to make my life all sunshine and rainbows. And gold stars... So, here it is. My one and only plea -- for the love of Matthew Morrison -- vote for me to be on the best show of all time, Glee!
For those of you who didn't know me between the ages of 14-19, let me fill you in on what you missed: I was one of those kids. A sheer, unadulterated choir nerd / dance junkie / drama queen / musical-theatre-obsessed Gleek. ...Yeah, so I was essentially the same person I am now. Only smaller and without laugh lines. I digress.
To say that FOX's Little Show That Could strikes a chord with me (and most people I know) is an understatement. I love that show like a fat kid loves cake. From the very first episode, I've fantasized about getting to be one of the McKinley High kids... And now, I actually have a chance -- a slim one, but a chance nonetheless.
That's where YOU come in! Yes! *You!* Be a part of history!!
In case you haven't heard, the producers of Glee are holding a nationwide casting call on MySpace. Yep, MySpace. Memba that place of wonderment? Well if you don't, that's ok. I've figured out a way for you to help me anyway. (See the bottom of this entry.)
Basically, the premise of the audition is as follows: be between the ages of 16-26, be a member of MySpace, upload a <1 minute monologue and a short musical audition (singing a song from a limited pre-set list), and sit back and rake in the gold stars. Yep -- GOLD STARS!! Ahh, and thus enters the part of the equation wherein you shower me with enough gold stars to sew together a 2nd hideously ugly twinsie dress for Ashley.
Anyway, while a person's accumulation of gold stars doesn't appear to be a deciding factor in whether they win the contest, it certainly provides exposure and a MUCH needed boost for the entrant (me!) when it comes time for the producers to review select audition videos. Basically, in order to not get lost in the abyss and have any real chance at this, I need you to give me many, many gold stars, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Ohh unlimited voting... How I love/hate thee.
So there it is. Do me this favor, this one small favor (repeated as many times as you can, ad nauseam) and I will be forever grateful. And I may or may not give you a kidney, should your need for one ever arise. But c'mon, Votes for Krissy on Glee for a kidney (or the slightish promise of one)? SUCH A DEAL!!
Do it. Root for the underdog. Because truly in a situation such as this -- less than 4 days to get as many votes as possible when other people who auditioned AFTER me have tens of thousands of gold stars -- I am the underdog... Which makes me fit in with the Glee kids all the more. But actually, I'm not even there yet! At this point, I'm not even a full-fledged underdog. I'm like a sub-underdog. An aspiring underdog. Yes...
So now that I've convinced you to help me (and sort of insinuated there might be an eventual kidney in it for you), let me tell you how to go about it:
IF YOU HAVE A MYSPACE LOGIN:
Open up a new tab, sign in, click here, pause the 'featured video,' and click that 'Give a Gold Star' button like you're in a race to get carpel tunnel. Then convince your network of friends to do the same, either by being obnoxious and berating them with messages, tweets and Facebook status updates (there might be TWO kidneys in it for you then! I'll figure out where to get the 2nd one once I get on the show and make some money). Or, simply ask nicely and show them this post if it helps. :)
IF YOU *DON'T* HAVE A MYSPACE LOGIN:
Use the one I created for you, specifically for the occasion! Just open a new tab and go to MySpace.com
Log In: 'krissyonglee@aol.com'
Password: g1eefu1
(Note that those are number ones in the word 'gleeful,' replacing the 'l' consonants.)
Then refer to my link: http://www.myspace.com/gleeauditions?link=4723057 ...Click 'give a gold star' repeatedly!! And don't forget to spread the word. But please don't promise them kidneys too -- those are only for my first-degree Gold Star Anointers.
Also, join my Facebook Army of friends who support the Campaign to Get Krissy on Glee!
Thank you all for your time, and with putting up with the byproduct of marketing oneself: obnoxiousness. Once this is over, I promise to reduce my obnoxious quotient by at least 45.3% (79%+ if I get on the show)! I really can't thank you all enough in the meantime -- for putting up with me, for helping, for your support, and most of all just for being my friend. I truly love you.
Peace, Love, and Glee,
Krissy
