Polite Notice:
Casting for the West End Musical comedy production
"Oh Rafalksi!" is now complete. Those who have been selected will be contacted by their agents in due course. Those who are not succesful should not be disheartened... we were absolutely staggered by the sheer quality of audition pieces this year. Well done all of you for a stirling effort and some very moving floor work. We feel sure that future productions will see many of returning to the rehersal rooms at Swiss Cottage in the future. Until then, the show must go on darlings.Bunty Fortesqueue
XPS: Quick treminder that our beloved musical director Phillipe is on next week's Trinny and Susanna having his back, sack and crack waxed. A must see!

I once worked for a global fashion licensee where I came in to establish a visual communications department. In order to do that I had to recruit, but I also had to adopt this utter numbnut who had been there for a couple of years doing basic graphics and artworking. He was lazy and dishonest and had a sarky supercilious attitude that made you want to punch him. It took a long time, but eventully I was able to get the company to see what a waste of resources he was and give him his orders. This was all straight up, I'm not an unfair or malicious person - he really was a waste of space. You could give him a simple 8 page booklet to lay out, just text in black, and 6 months later he'd still be telling you why he can't complete it becuase blah blah blah.
Anyway, to be fair to him we gave him a month on full salary to use his desk and computer to get a portfolio sorted out and look for work.
One day one of my team asked to have a look at his portfolio. There were three bits of work that he knew were not by this guy at all. We all had a look. Betwen us we identified about ten people's work and hardly anything could be attributed to this guy at all.
Anyway, the company got sold and I moved on and I never heard from him again. I just came across his website and downloaded his pdf portfolio... its full of work for the world's greatest fashion brands, art directed by well known people, shot by well known people, done at well known agencies... and all in his portfolio. His involvement in 99% of this work must be at best wildly fictional.
Why are these cunts able to get away with this kind of thing?

Sometimes they are not, a friend of mine who I do freelance for phoned someone and said I have just got your showreel through the post and although flattered that you like my work enough to put it on your showreel but please take it out.

some guys are fictional in their minds. we call them: advertisers. their minds are soaked in champagne and perfume. their visual presence is taken straight out off naguyas streets and their talk is mumblish street. as someone someday said, the idiots aren't at the gate, they're inside leaving their traps in the toilets and kitchens and work late for pitches who show absolute un-wow work

Had a coughing fit in class yesterday. As usual, my eyeballs started to roll back and tears streamed down. Very unpleasant, especially when it happens in front of others. Drinking water doesn't seem to work. Luckily we're all working on computers and the room is dark.

"...If this film doesn't make you laugh, cry, jump up and dance, and fall in love with love all over again, then you are beyond all hope. Walters is a national treasure. Her fanny should be cast in gold and mounted at the gates of Madame Tussauds..."

"Pierce Brosnan rips off the shackles of Bond at last and emerges like a wonderful hairy butterfly onto the sun-dappled terraces of this wonderfully sexy rom-com musical. Hollywood bends its knee in honour of this triumph. Never before have songs been sungs so fucking thoroughly and completely. You could hear the linings of their throats shaking loose. Marvellous stuff"
