I've been receiving emails & phone calls about Martha's new Apprentice-like show. Coworkers are telling me to audition for it because this could be my "big break". I vowed after Wickedly Perfect that I was done with reality television. I'm not a fan of it at all & they never really show anyone in a positive light & the contracts you have to sign are horrendous. So why am I considering Martha's show? Sure the $250,000 a year paycheck would be fabulous, but I've never dreamed of working for her. And I honestly believe that Ms. Stewart is doing the entire show to help improve her image & not to find the next big lifestyle talent. And yet, I'm still considering it. Come on girls, talk me out of it!!
I have actually never watched a reality show, I would imagine though that no matter what the goal of her show is that the people on it will get recognized, and who says you can not at least investigate more, I mean before you sign anything... just see what it is about and if at any time you do not feel right about it, walk away!
It would truly frighten me poo out of me to work for Martha. Even on TV (I've heard scary perfectionism tales about behind the scenes, but all hearsay, of course). She is one intimidating and creative crafty woman. Luck to you if you do!
I'll just share a little family story with you, Ms. Dawn.
One of my older cousins had a catering business in Connecticut, back in the day, and Martha Stewart (just starting out at the time) was her competition. She said she was an incredible cutthroat and roundly despised by everyone in the community. Apparently she was absolutely rotten to everyone that wasn't a client and went through staff at a furious pace.
Probably nothing that people haven't hashed over a million times, but it does make you think a little. I mean, I heard that for the first time when I was just a kid...WAY before she had her huge success. That's not the kind of person I'd want to be around for anything. Life's too short.
On the flip side, there's a reason they call it 'show BUSINESS', right? So, if you can grow a thick skin and decide from the get-go that you won't let anything bring you down, then I say you should go for it. Life's too short!
Thanks you all for your words of wisdom. I decided that I'm not going to get involved with Ms. Stewart's reality show this time around. If it's like The Apprentice then they'll probably run it more than 1 season. I'll check out season 1 & if it seems fun & not too caddy than I'll try out for season 2.
Oh Dawn I think you TOTALLY SHOULD DO IT!! I've read Martha Inc. and the woman is a bitch no doubt but it's not really about her is it? It's about you wanting to become something you've always dreamed of and making your way to reaching your goals always comes with a lot of shit and bad things. This is an easy way of getting fame. These shows don't just air in America but all over the world. You can become a international hero overnight. Who cares about Martha - it's all about you really! You should consider it. And it'd be so much fun to say to people "looks that Dawn, she's my cyber pal" LOL

Is it a reality show? Then OF COURSE they will make you look like shit. That's the name of the game.
