This week's episode of Faking It (June 6th 10 P.m. ET on TLC)will featire a Texas
librarian trying to fake it as a bartender at Coyote Ugly. The description of her
is stereotypical - shy, bookish, etc. I know the producers were looking for a
stereotype because I had applied to be on the show and they called me to send in an
audition tape but being untenured I didn't think my administrators would be keen on
giving me four weeks off in the middle of the school year. I had said specifically
I was only available in the summer months and the producer said she had called
several school librarians and was getting the same answer (duh!). I will watch with
a heavy heart as I really wanted to do this but I hope they don't go overboard with
the librarian stereotype - I know the woman wears glasses (hey, it's a professional
hazard!), at least they didn't have her put her hair up in a bun!
