MTV Casting Call: Are You Ready For The Big Chop?
Have you ever considered how much fun it could be for you or someone you know to appear on a reality show about going natural? MTV’s True Life is looking for such a person, so lower your reality TV guard just a bit and think about it!
Is your hair your obsession? How are you struggling with your hair? Do you feel natural hair would let you embrace your true self, and you want to go for the “big chop?” Why now? What has held you back up to this moment? We would like to follow someone who is ready to do the “big chop” and follow them on their journey as they transition into their natural hair.
If you appear to be between the ages of 15 -28 and would like us to document your transition to natural hair, email us at [email protected] and tell us about your story. Please include your name, location, phone number and recent photos of yourself.
I have to applaud MTV for paying attention to an often misunderstood moment in the natural hair journey and can’t wait to watch whoever they chose to profile for this episode. Yet there’s a part of me that’s stressed out at the thought of black womens’ hair being depicted as a bundle of pain and drama that warrants words and expressions like “obsession,” “struggling,” and “embrace your true self.”
hmm, here we go again…
I know, right! I wish the media would leave us alone! And I can’t believe Clutch is recruiting for a reality show. Is Clutch owned by Viacom?
Really Val? Are you owned by Viacom? It’s just a post – whether you approve of it or not – somebody likes it and will most likely reach out.
So why not? This is a news/entertainment site. It’s a part of the game.
I agree with Val – ridiculous! Clutch, of late, has seemed to be going the route of the MSM…Sad. I’d hope we could gt something different, and stop being bothered with mainstream overzealous focus on us, and now Clutch is just mimicking them – Oh well!
Oh lord…
True life, I’m growing out my highlights.
Hahaha.
I am not sure as to why someone going natural would need to be an MTV True Life story.
I am not particularly obsessed with my hair, but everyone else seems to be from their insistence that I wear it in a style that they like and approve of or questioning me about my length and whatever else they can think of.
What I find disturbing about this is that what would be the equivalent? Would they do a story on a White woman who is going from curly to straight? Would they do a story on a Muslim woman who has decided to not wear her religious garments and show her face and hair? Would they do a story on a guy who has decided to cut his long hair?
I would rather watch this than “I am obsessed with weave.”
