We're going to put you in the show!

By Toby in Style 9 days ago

We know there are lots of you out there who were very disappointed not to make it into the new cast. We really don't like upsetting people, so here is our little plan...

You all know that Skins shoots a lot of party scenes and our question is; would you like to be in one?

We are filming the first big rave scenes of series 3 very soon and we want to have some of you there to be part of it.

All you need to do is post a photograph of yourself in the box below, tell us you age and the town/city you live nearest to (please don't put you full address!) and remember to let us know if you have auditioned for us before...

Right then - let's see what happens!

(By the way, we're shooting this scene on 18th July - we'll contact the successful guys and gals by email on 15th July to arrange everything...)

WE WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR STUFF!

By Toby in Style 25 days ago

Right, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon and my little office is so hot that the soles of my shoes are slowly melting. It's torture.

Anyway, I just came across the thought that we haven't featured any of you lot for a while and I want that to change.

So here's the promise. Write 300-400 words about anything you like - Music, Fashion, Parties, Telly, Skins, Gardening - whatever. The one we like best will be published on the site's frontpage and you can slam it on your CV.

Email your best to tobysofficeistoohottowritein@skinslife.com.

p.s. You've got till midday Friday...

p.p.s. Send some pictures too. I like pictures.

p.p.p.s. If you think you know someone who would blow our faces off with their words, tell them to write in...

UPDATE: WE're going to keep this comp open. I like reading your stuff. This week Amelia Eppel is our winner. Once she's sent in some pictures, I'll publish her piece.

Keep sending your stuff in so I can pick next weeks winner!

Latest Audition News!

By Toby in Style about 1 month ago

We're in Bristol at the moment for the 3rd round of callbacks for Skins Series 3 and it is the first time that the London, Bristol and Party auditionees have met.

The big news is that from this group of 50 that we will pick our main cast.

Don't worry too much if you still want to be in it: we will have more opportunities later in the year to audition through the site and get in the show...

We know you want to see how we go about casting the show, so in the very near future we will be posting a load of videos on the site that take you from open auditions to party auditions; from call backs to workshops; from individual auditions to groups. Everything, really.

Anyway - better get back to it!
