Directory         1.    Rosalind Cook, Call for Particpation: Linguist Needed for Bravo TV Show Message 1: Call for Particpation: Linguist Needed for Bravo TV Show Date: 09-Jul-2010 From: Rosalind Cook <rosalindcook1yahoo.com> Subject: Call for Particpation: Linguist Needed for Bravo TV Show E-mail this message to a friend In-filming television show called 'Pregnant in Heels' is seeking a linguist to participate in the filming of the show on July 15th in NYC. The show follows entrepreneur and business-owner Rosie Pope, who has created a thriving business as the owner/designer of Rosie Pope Maternity. Her high-end maternity brand is marketed to the most sophisticated urban mothers-to-be. Each of the eight episodes will focus on two expecting mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy. Rosie will hold a private consultation with each mom-to-be in order to assess their needs and desires. She assists them in everything from looking good to feeling good. The show will also take an up-close look at Rosie Pope’s professional and personal life, as she tries to balance being a mother, wife and entrepreneur. Each episode culminates with the birth of two babies. For one of our upcoming stories, we are working with a couple who are completely obsessed with choosing the right baby name for their soon to be born son. They believe a name is a Personal Brand and picking the right name is essential to the child's future success. Just to give you an idea, for their last two children, both girls, the couple pooled names from all of the most successful graduates of both Dartmouth, the husband's Alma mater, and Harvard, the wife's and cross referenced them with the alumni announcements in Variety and the Baby Name Wizard to create a sort of naming algorithm. For this child, a boy, they want to take it to the next level. Our expecting mom and dad would love to test selected names in a think tank, to be sure they are choosing the best name for their son. The Producers would like to add a Linguist to the group to add his or her opinion. I would love to talk with someone who would be able to assist me with finding a Linguist in NYC to participate on camera July 15th.
