What's up what's up, everyone! 

I'm Minnie. After working as a freelance actor and model for some years, I was inspired to write a funny parody-type webseries very loosely based on the Kardashians (all out of love, we love them!!). 

I'm 21 and I moved to LA chasing work a few years ago and only now am in a position to do more "fun stuff" in my life. After doing a crap ton of projects I either didn't love, didn't ethically agree with, or just simply didn't want to... I want to make my very own. I have the creativity and time, but I lack one thing: funds! That's where you (hopefully, lol) come in. We have been able to get this far so far thanks to dedication and the many talents of our small team who have put in endless hours of unpaid work. However, I would love to be able to get a small budget so that my actors and myself don't have to pay EVERYTHING out of pocket. Because we know how rich actors in LA are, ha ha. No seriously though, you would be helping us out A LOT! <3 
Here is exactly where your money will go... Meet "THE TEAM"!!:
PARIS KENNEDY AS PARIS K.
Paris Kennedy (yes, she goes by Paris IRL too!) started out as an adult performer in the industry years ago... Which makes this bad bitch a veteran. We met each other both being models a little while back and I knew it the very first time I read her name that this girl had a sense of humor and was more than just just her looks (but don't get me wrong, she is also looks). Not only HILARIOUS and GORGEOUS, Paris is also smart, dedicated, and has become like a real older sister to me. This is Paris' first jab at something non-adult and she's been killing it!

TENERE WILLIAMS AS LEEZY.
I came into contact w/ Tenere a few years ago when he was interviewing me for his website/blog. Aside from working full time, managing all his bookings, and being a really rad dad, he sometimes interviews other talent to shine the spotlight on others when he feels it necessary. He's also no stranger to comedy. You might've seen him frequenting a few comedy clubs in the Los Angeles scene cracking people up with his stand up routine. You can tell he loves what he does because he always makes time in his busy schedule for his passion.

SALLY MULLINS AS PRIS K:
Stand-up being this broad's main gigs comes as no surprise while watching her in action. She's a performer at heart and has strangely also become part of my chosen family. I'm always floored by how much dedication she shows to this project and how much she cares about all of us. Also w/ experience in adult, Sally's main interests include comedy. Many people have noticed the way the media forces older women to disappear from the spotlight and one thing I love about Sally is she is a women who demands to be seen and heard. Sometimes it's about her younger one night stand, and sometimes it's about her hangover... either way, Sally always has some wisdom to share. I love the hell out of her!
 

MATTHEW COOKE as "Behind the Scenes guy":
It'd probably be easier to say "video camera guy" or "editor" or "stills photographer" but the truth of the matter is... he is ALL THOSE THINGS!!! PLUS SO MUCH MORE?! I can't even believe the amount of work Matthew has put into this with what we're able to give him back. He usually is working on a Grammy commercial or some big Hollywood thingymabobber... we're so lucky to have him here.


ASHLEY "CA$HLEY" "MAGIC" SONG as graphics gurl
A student at a university far away... She was still able to help us out in her free time by giving us some really kickass graphics that we used/will be using for the show. The whole cast has cried while reading mock ups and we all even agree she is more talented than the designers at "Hustler". Only 21 years old and so, so clever already... I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us!


MINNIE SCARLET AS MINNIE K:
Aaaand it's finally my turn. Hi I'm 21 year old Minnie. I write, direct, do makeup for, and star in this series. As you've read, this project is my baby. I've done a lot of "hot girl" modeling/acting work and while it's awesome at times, I wanna make people laugh! I wanted to make a series that I could have as much fun making as people would have watching and so far, it's working out. I wanted to be somewhat crass and gross because that aligns with my sense of humor, while still not having to make bad racist or dead sex worker jokes. I'm really happy with the outcome so far.
 

FUNDS:

  • The funding will simply go into things we have been struggling to pay out of pocket, eg: paying cast/crew for work, props, wardrobe
  • My objective is to make this a FREE, ACCESSIBLE webseries for everyone to enjoy!
  • The $ we earn will go right back into this project - goal reached, or not. You definitely don't have to worry about us misusing the $
  • We have a lot of awesome perks as a way to give back in whatever way we can. 

WHY THIS PROJECT:

  • The women I have brought onto this project are all hilarious and smart, but have careers that don't always get to showcase that. This project is a chance for us to be creative, and shine in ways we don't normally get opportunities to - even if just in crass comedy form.. :)
  • In fact, everyone working on this just generally doesn't get the opportunity they deserve, I'd love to give that to more people.
  • Although somewhat crass and definitely not PG, I like my comedy to have a point and not just mindlessly poke fun at different groups of people. I know other people like that too, maybe we need more of it?!
  • We will be continuing this project despite what we earn on here if possible, it's just waaay easier when everything isn't make-shift, ha!
  • Check out the teasers & decide if it's a project you'd like to help further & be a part of.
IF YOU CAN'T CONTRIBUTE:
  • We understand! We're broke too! But if you'd like to help, please please please spread the word. Post this link, share our videos, whatever on all your social media. RT our tweets, everything helps.
  • SUBSCRIBE! The only other thing we need other than funds to make this a success... dun dun dun! VIEWERS! We hope we can make you laugh. ;)
