If so, then we want you, your friends, your total awesomeness.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jersey Shore&#8221; is an MTV reality show that follows the lives of eight housemates spending the summer in a New Jersey beach town. <\/p>\n<p>But O&#8217;Connor was mum about the details of the South Side-based show she&#8217;s casting because her firm simply is hired to look for the next reality star &#8211; not produce the show. <\/p>\n<p>She said there&#8217;s no guaranteed way to catch a casting director&#8217;s eye, though she did have one tip for South Siders interested in becoming famous. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have to represent who they really are,&#8221; O&#8217;Connor said. <\/p>\n<p>The casting call is open to men and women ages 19 to 27 who live on Chicago&#8217;s South Side and in neighboring suburbs. <\/p>\n<p>To apply, e-mail three recent photos and &#8220;a brief description of your awesomeness and why you would be a great reality star&#8221; to chicago@oconnorcasting.tv. <\/p>\n<p>Casting will continue through the end of this month. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article from <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.southtownstar.com\/news\/2078039,030210southsideshore.article\" title=\"Casting call out for South Side reality show a la 'Jersey Shore'\" rel='nofollow'>SouthTown Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Distributed via <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagopressrelease.com\" rel='nofollow'>Chicago Press Release Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wn5lNO8nUzBClzPoW32-eLQmt8k\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wn5lNO8nUzBClzPoW32-eLQmt8k\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wn5lNO8nUzBClzPoW32-eLQmt8k\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wn5lNO8nUzBClzPoW32-eLQmt8k\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=OSzwc1qR3BA:fvEbB9nIBsQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=OSzwc1qR3BA:fvEbB9nIBsQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=OSzwc1qR3BA:fvEbB9nIBsQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?i=OSzwc1qR3BA:fvEbB9nIBsQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/windycitynews\/~4\/OSzwc1qR3BA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calling all buff and tan Southlanders who love to party.
