$10 Chip!

Hi,

I looked over your internet ad.

I know how rough it is waiting for a response.

I recommend that you take this exclusive free $10 casino chip.

You will get a $10 free offer at Coopa Club, a USA friendly casino.

Take some time and have fun with this exclusive bonus: http://coopaclub.com



Aww... it's too bad I can't accept the offer, because it's $90.00 short.

And I got another offer to SHOOT NUDES that I turned down.

"Hi there, i`m a photographer of the area and i`m looking for nude models i you are interested please let me know, I pay cash thanks"

Again, I repeat, emphatically and absolutely, unless you are Hugh Hefner dangling a massive cheque, I DO NOT SHOOT NUDES!!!!

As for JOB NUMBER THREE:

So to be clear, what I am looking for:
- rip up all the carpet from my appart, a 4 1/2, and one room which is floating floor (clicks together, you just pick it up and bundle.)
- also take off all the baseboard. Ensure that the nails aren't sticking out to hurt the garbage people.
- bundle them up
- bring them downstairs (I am on the second floor) and put them by the curb.

Sounds like an enjoyably cathartic task... I can hear the carpet ripping now... MMM... Riiiiiiipppppppppp. *thwock*

(That's me throwing the carpet bundle on the sidewalk.)

Speaking of kicking something to the curb:

Shithead to me

I feel so bad....I really did not mean you are protitute....
I am nice man and your beauty impressed me alot and
did not control myself and I am really feeling sad (this is not my
nature...please accept my appology).

So can you do this for me - the testing thing?? trust me I am very nice man
I feel so shy now.

* * *

Dear Shithead,

If my beauty impressed you, you should have been a gentleman AND HIRED ME FOR A NON-SEXUAL JOB for A MINIMUM of $100.00.

Here's what I could have done:

1) Typed up memos
2) Modified plans in Autocad
3) Played the harmonica
4) Bagged leaves in your garden
5) Babysat

oh and..

6) Beta tested and debugged your website.

My best,

Aimee.

In non-$100 news, I got booked for an orange juice commercial which should air nationally in a couple months. Yay!!!!

Whee, gee: could be three!

Annndddd... just as I spoke too soon, an artist, named Steven, writing my from my Craiglist ad, confirmed 90% as job number three, this upcoming Saturday. He wants me to, drum roll please...

Rip out a carpet in his apartment!

So does that make me a carpet layer? Carpet remover? Carpet lic... no.

Speaking of!

From: Shithead@accountant.com

Aimee,

I emailed you before and you did not reply back...and now I saw your ad again
can you be a quality assurance test user? testing a website for problems or bugs?

From,

Shithead.

Dear Shithead,

I could have, and I would have, but I can't, so I won't.

Aimee, the un-prositute.



Ah, Shithead, how you brighten my posts.

:D

Aimee.

Waiting, waiting...

I am still waiting for Benoit, the dance photographer, to reschedule for our shoot, and to hear back from the image editing client who is likely to confirm solid as job number three this week. Come on, Music Freak, book me!

I tried posting my ad on Model Mayhem yesterday, but it got pulled because models cannot solicit work on their chat forums. I also posted to Pigistes Montreal (Montreal Freelancers) on Facebook, this morning. We shall see the returns.

I'm kinda miffed that Craigslist and Kijiji have ceased to generate leads this week. I think I need to keep reposting and getting the word out, or else my quest will be buried under a pile of other messages like "Seeking YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT, AMBIDEXTROUS egg donor" and "Hiring Attractive Masseuses to Work in NDG. Great environment!"

Clomid and rub n' tugs: no thanks.

I am the sort of gal who waits for no-one and who hates to wait. I make "stuff" happen. Even a day without an offer feels quiet to me. Maybe I should become a stock broker?

You can stop laughing now.

Oh yeah... as a reward for my unitard gig, I bought myself three different colours of nailpolish: hot pink, cherry red, and jet black. A girls' gotta reward herself for a jorb (sic) well done.

Today's $100 Aimee-service: I will cook you a Freegan 5 course meal for $100.


Chow down!

90% Nylon, 10% Spandex

Job number two is in the bag and my dignity is (mostly) intact!

Without further adieu, my raw footage from job number 2:



Surprisingly enough, walking around downtown Montreal in a one piece bodysuit wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. People genuinely seemed intrigued by what I was wearing and unafraid to come up to talk to me and ask me what Gynad is all about. I totally expected more cries of disgust or laughter, but what I got was mostly giggles and positive feedback.

Mr. Belmar of http://www.gynad.com, you may be on to something!

Positive attributes of the job:

1) The bodysuit was super comfortable. It was originally a dance unitard and I had no problem walking or hopping around in it.

2) I got lots of attention from men. Oh yeah, I still got it, cellulite, bouncy butt and all! Ah menfolk, you are so much more forgiving of our imperfections than we women are...

3) Women were not as catty and bitchy as I thought they would be. Most women I talked to extended warmth and good conversation. This may also be because my shape is pretty non-threatening. I am no Pam Anderson and very obviously not made of plastic. I'm 8/10!

4) Pierre Belmar is a complete gentleman and a highly creative businessman. He has tons of unique business ideas and good advice on independent start-ups. If he intended for the Gynad bodysuit to be an attention-grabbing, interactive human billboard, he succeeded.

Negative attributes of the job:

1) I was cold. The thin nylon/spandex was not meant for 15 degree weather. Pierre resolved this by making our final locations indoors. We went to Thursday's, a bar, and Cavalli, an upscale Italian restaurant, and had a couple drinks, on him. Again, I was surprised no one kicked us out! Even the manager came up and talked to us, curious about what I was promoting.

2) You could see my underwear, even though it was nude. Pierre told me not to wear any undergarments with colours, and to go as seamless as possible in my choices. Despite this, I still don't think the suit was thick enough. He is developing a thicker suit for future promotions and a winterized suit for cold weather.

A photo of me in all my unitard glory:



Okay, okay, I felt a bit like Slim Goodbody (Remember him???):



Let me know what you think of my UNITARD PERFECTION by commenting or sending me a tweet.

One cent!

OhmygoshIamsoexcited... Adsense generated a minuscule amount for me in the two weeks my blog has been up. It was close to one cent! If translate that bilingually in French and English, that's Un Hundred! What an honour!

*rolls eyes*

I cleaned all yesterday for my boss Richard. By the time I finished at 5:30 p.m., I was bloody exhausted. The place I cleaned was a gorgeous two level townhouse in Mont-Royal, complete with a fireplace. Because of the ravishing antique fireplace, I was knee-deep in ashes for about a half hour. Yes, I felt like Cinderella. (Don't chimney sweeps have higher levels of cancer... anyhow...) Here's a video of me, without make-up, and clearly exhausted, after I finished work yesterday:



It came to me that with any job, no matter how unglamourous, there are always positive benefits. For instance, working as a cleaning lady:

1) I basically bust my ass for minimum four hours at a time, which is a pretty good workout. I burn at least 400 calories while making moolah. My part time job keeps me in shape for the higher paying modelling and acting jobs. And if I work solid for a week, I get to eat like a hard labour man... mmm... burgers and beer.

2) No one bothers me or harasses me while I clean. As a cleaning lady, you are a one woman show. You have no direct co-workers, no micromanaging boss looking over your shoulder (well, maybe the maintenance guys, carpenters, roofers, plumbers etc. look at my arse, but that's another story), and you work at your own pace. There are no office politics in cleaning toilets and I am pretty sure no one will back stab me to get my job.

3) I create my own hours. Richard is an amazing boss. He basically lets me tell him when I am free and work as many or as few hours as I need, providing there are no rush deadlines, like someone moving in to a new apartment.

4) It's honest work and okay pay. I even have several clients who hire me once a month and pay me cash; Yes, one hundred bucks for 4 hours cleaning house.

Now here are the drawbacks:

1) Exhausting and dirty. I always need a shower after I finish.

2) Exposure to industrial cleaners and chemicals. Can you say Pine-sol brain?

3) Not only do you not feel like cleaning your place when you get home, but you preternaturally notice the dirt EVERYWHERE.

4) People seem shocked when you tell them that you clean and/or assume you are uneducated and/or a recent immigrant. I kid you not, I had an older semi-blind client who asked me "My dear, you have an accent and I see your dark hair. Are you from South America?" LOLOLOLOL. No, B.A., Class of 2000, MODEL UH SLASH UH ACTORZ.


Unitard countdown in 5 hours!

If your quotation is by Hannibal Lector...

From Dumb Moronic Organization:

Hi

I saw you're post on craigslist,.

First, let me start off by saying that I hope that you had good luck with your "reviews wanted" post. I love using Craigslist to sell my stuff, as it almost always sells so fast, and usually for around my asking price. Although, gosh, I sure do meet some of the most, ummm, interesting people sometimes.

Anyway, the reason that I am emailing you is because the company that I work for is looking for people in or around dallas who would be interested in making a little extra income, working out of their home. We don't require any selling, nor any phone calling; everything is done entirely online, and you will be paid within 15 days. You can do this either part-time or full-time - it's entirely up to you.

We do not require that you have any prior experience; no educational or special skills are required, as we provide all training. We actually prefer working with Craigslist users, because our experience has shown us that you guys are computer proficient, and are just, overall, easier to work with. I don't want to rush you into making a decision, but this same offer is going out to all people who posted an ad on Craigslist in montreal, and we only need a certain number of people.

So, if this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can check out our website right here and I hope that you choose to apply.

Thanks for your time,

Human Resources DMO Research Inc. ==================================== "We will either find a way, or make one. - Hannibal"

*bangs head against wall*

No, no, no, no no no thanks.

Am I really that boring that I don't merit a better offer? Are there no souls out there who want me to fix their plumbing or something?

Oh wait, I forgot:

Shithead to me
show details 11:23 AM (56 minutes ago)

I have job for you...you will do testing for a website for $100 a day as you mentioned.

The job is simple...you have to create dummy users and go through the complete cycle
and see where are the "bugs" and how it can be improved. This is serious offer

Can you do that?

Dear Shithead,

You cannot start by asking for my sexual services and working your way back towards a real job.

Green

This is for Effierules who commented on my last post: I didn't get any death threats from the Green Scammers, but the offer they presented me with made me fear for my safety. I'll leave it at that.

I was supposed to shoot with Benoit today, but alas, he couldn't find a brick wall for our shoot with the look he had in mind. So it looks like the Unitard gig is going to be job numero deux!

I still haven't heard back from the image editing gig. A job seeker can only follow up so many times!

I am going to post my resume on http://www.montrealjobshop.ca. I keep hearing ads for the site on Virgin radio, and I need more jobs, so I might as well try it out!

Today in shitty Craigslist jobs (this guy has been posting his ad for at least two years):

I'm looking for a female assistant who can do some simple typing for me while I
perform on my webcam. No experience necessary. Obviously an open mind is needed.
Good sense of humor, laid back attitude. I'm 30, white, 5'11, very attractive and
very respectful. Your duties will be to type responses to women as they watch me.
You will not be on camera. The project should be fun. Hope to hear from you soon.

GLARGH!

Silence is Golden

Yes, I was supposed to release the video of me recollecting my bizarre interview on Friday yesterday.

No, I won't be releasing it.

My experience on Friday confirmed what I already knew about myself and my moral compass: there are some jobs that I simply will not do, no matter the offer, no matter the price.

I value my mortality so highly that I will not willingly put myself in a position where I risk losing what I value the most: my life. I also genuinely care about other people and consider myself to be a good person with good intentions. I am the hero who has decided to use his talents for good. I am no Darth Vader and I will not join "the dark side," which in this case is masquerading as a golden opportunity.

"One Hundred Jobs" is supposed to be a zany adventure in odd jobs, with a smidgen of social experimentation. That being writ, I am not an investigative journalist, nor do I want to put myself in the position of one.

After falling headlong into the rabbit hole of NMR and its small group of associates (fascinating digital trail AND complete waste of my time and energy. I'm not Piet Hein.), I concluded yesterday that even if I tell my story, and an even if I out what I interpret as a group of money hungry green scammers who prey on people's environmental consciences for profit, they will continue their work elsewhere. And besides, there are no victims in white collar crime, right?

Wrong. But I'm clocking out of this nonsense. Not worth it.

BACK TO UNITARDS AND DIGGING DITCHES!


Aimee.

First Job is Online.

Here is the footage from Job Number ONE... booked in less than a week from launching One Hundred Jobs! The cuts are abrupt, but you can thank Window's Media for not recognizing MP4s for that... I'm getting new equipment and editing software soon.

Thank you again, Brent, for a great day:



Brent is also going to release our full discussion sometime later this week.

My unitard interview this morning was a success! I met with Pierre Bellemare of GynAd.com for the unitard modelling job, otherwise known as "Human Advertsiement" by . No, I did not type gynoad.com, even if I will be wearing a white lycra bodysuit and traipsing around downtown, on Saturday. I was told the last girl quit suddenly after two hours, due to unwanted attention. Go figure!



Tomorrow, I will release the video of me recollecting my horrid, bizarre interview on Friday. I feel a lot better about it now, but seriously, there are better ways to either a) go about a marketing campaign or b) legitimately hire greedy morons willing to commit corporate espionnage and/or manipulation.

Not quitting my day jobs yet,


Aimee.

Comedy Gold

Hey,

Update on a second job: the potential client wanting me to do some photo editing wrote me back. Looks like that job will be locked down next week as either number two or three. A photographer I know, Benoit Provost:

http://www.modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=322461

also wants to shoot me for his dance portfolio. Once it's locked as a contract, I'll confirm to you on Twitter!

I am at Podcamp today, so this entry has to be brief. About Friday: My health care spa marketing director "interview" on Friday was extreme levels of intergalactic insanity. So much so, that, once retold on this blog, I am going to get people to vote on whether on not they think the proposition I got was REAL or A HOAX.

The interview lasted two hours in a small room with a charming, intelligent and intellectually terrifying neuroscientist and involved me running away before I could sign a non-disclosure agreement. I felt like I was in "The Borne Identity" or something. Who set me up? If not, guerrilla marketing needs to TONE THE FUCK DOWN! I missed out on a casting because I was legitimately afraid for my safety. Not fun.

For now, here is some of the footage from my first One Hundred Job with Brent of Mile End Media (http://www.socialmediamontreal.com/). My footage of him should be up tomorrow on http://www.youtube.com/onehundredjobs

The first time is always the best...

Success! Brent Barett and I had a delightful afternoon, recording a bunch of media and discussing the future of social media marketing on the Internet.

What did I wind up doing for $100? I was interviewed by Brent for his blog, Blog 60, http://www.socialmediamontreal.com/?page_id=50, which is 60 seconds of people passionate about their jobs or something in life talking about themselves and their interests. The footage should be up within a couple of days.

I also served as a D.O.P (director of photography), recording Brent as he interviewed his client, Peter, of Athletes International. Then, we switched places so that I took back up usual day job and interviewed Peter about his projects. Simple, fun and enlightening.

Brent also took me to lunch care of a "Take a Blogger to Lunch" card from www.akoha.com (a launch pad for travelling acts of kindness). So many wonderful surprises in one day!

My footage with Brent will be up in a jiffy.

And this might sound crazy, but as I was walking into Brent's place, a man, who probably had Tourette's syndrome, walked by me and muttered audibly, "You'll find you won't get very far unless you make your own breaks in life. Who do you think you are, Linda Evangelista?" You can't make this shit up.

Before I go, just a little shout out to my AMAZING son Max... it's his 9th birthday today!!!!

Tomorrow, I will record my first job, 1/100 for $100, with Brett of Mile End Media. He's also going to interview me for his blog.

The Answer to Why....



Shithead wrote me back this afternoon. Conversation follows. He quite obviously doesn't follow my blog.

From Shithead:

You are attractive and i thaught I can buy your personal services :)
and that will be on a regular basis.

From me:

Sorry, no can prostitute.

But I'm flattered.

Take care,

Aimee.

From Shithead:

one thing I dont understand.....someone pretty like you...doing fashion/modeling/acting etc how come you accept to do something like dusting? I really want to hire you and be in touch with you but dont know how and for what :)

An open letter to Shithead.

Dear Shithead,

The reason I, a fashion model and actor, am willing to dust for a living is that the average fashion actor/model cannot make ends meet with her modelling contracts alone.

The shocking truth about a lot of the anonymous people you see on billboards and on commercials is that they are the working poor in their artistic careers. That guy on the La Vie en Rose ad? He's twenty grand in debt, works at a bar and lives in a tiny one bedroom apartment in the Plateau. That other guy on that romance novel cover? He lives in his parent's basement and he's struggling to pay for school while finishing his master's degree.

Pretty models are not always what they appear to be. That lovely model in the online catalogue? She's completing her Ph.D. in physics. This girl on the cover of a beauty DVD currently in all Pharmaprix in Quebec (Shopper's Drug Mart)? She is a cleaning lady 90% of the time because it pays well and it has flexible hours so she can attend castings when they pop up.

Being pretty for a living doesn't pay as much as you think it does. Rates on print jobs over the last five years have steadily declined because there are more and more models willing to work for cheaper rates and Internet job sites makes it easy to find them. I may superficially appear to be part of the elite on the attractiveness scale, but that does not necessarily translate economically.

In fact, right now it's worth about a hundred bucks,


Aimee.

To Recap...

My brother called me last night to tell me that the objectives and postings of my blog are not entirely clear unless you read it from the beginning.

So here's a recap: on Saturday, September 12, 2009 I launched a concept called "One Hundred Jobs" wherein I, a Monteral model and actor (and cleaning lady and marketer and sales rep and...), will attempt to do 100 jobs for a minimum of 100 dollars, and report on them via my blog and on YouTube. I will accept any job that doesn't involve sex or touching (sorry, Shithead, [see below]) and that doesn't harm me physically in any way. The psychological challenges I am willing to endure are debatable. Ha!

Up until now, I have had one solid offer, and two tentative offers. I NEED MORE OFFERS! If you can think of anyone who needs a drawer cleaned or a tree sawed, tell them to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail.

I am having some technical difficulties with my video camera and my editing software. My camera records directly as an Mpeg 4, which is foreign to my version of Window's Movie Maker. I converted it to an AVI in Quicktime before exporting it to Movie Maker, but it resulted in some strange black pixellation on the final mixdown of my first short episode. I need to resolve this, because video is an integral part of my adventures in "One Hundred Jobs," and, dare I say, my "raison d'être."

I'll keep you all posted and let you know if any REAL offers come in. Annnddd.... the funny ones too,


Aimee

Unitard on Model Mayhem: a possibility?

Serious inquiries and reliable respectful models only. We are seeking an attractive female model in Montreal to wear white lycra unitard with advertising on it such as lettering and logo and to show it off in public in busy areas. We ticked nudity, but there is no nudity. It is every day sexy, snug fitting only. We are looking for someone extroverted, mature and outgoing. We are hoping to find someone on a regular basis. We pay $25/h. We are not looking for a runway model, but for this project, we hope to find someone along the lines of an athletic shaped model 170-176cm tall around 60-70kg in weight. This is just to give you an idea. We prefer no piercings or tattoos. We understand that some models are more comfortable in front of the camera than in public. The reason why we mentioned outgoing, extroverted.
Thank you for taking the time to look at our casting call.

* * *

Rock on.. where do I sign the dotted line?

Hi Aimee

Your name was dropped in as a dark horse candidate with no relevant experience but all the right intuitive spark.

Would you be interested at all in interviewing to lead a project on behalf of a Medical Spa concept launch?

Dear A S,

As an entrepreneur and holder of a registered Quebec business, I can
handle my fiscal responsibilities, including the annual reporting of my

In short, the calculation of my fiscal responsibilities and "ins and

Dear Shithead,

Thank you for writing my blog entry for me tonight.

Regards,

Aimee

I have an intro and a date set!

This Thursday at 1 p.m., I am meeting with Brent of Mile End media and he's making me do some odd jobs for him. He is also going to interview me for his blog.

I came up with an intro for the show last night based on the Barenaked Lady's classic "If I had a Million Dollars". I loaded up a karaoke track of the song and replaced a million with, of course, one hundred. But what interested me the most was the conclusion of the song that I re-wrote, which ends with "I'd have a job." One one hundred dollar job certainly isn't going to make me rich... but think if I manage to squeeze in a thousand one hundred dollar jobs. Remember, I would like to remind my future employers that one hundred is the minimum you can hire me for. Feel free to pay me more. Or tip me. I won't mind.

I am going to release the first segment later tonight...

:D

Am I plumb? I don't know. Some people in the industry might say my posterior is plumb, at a whopping 38ish inches, but ain't nothing much I can do about mama nature. However, with a 26 inch waist, I have a 0.68 waist to-hip-ratio which means I am a) at less risk for cardiovascular disease, b) the hotness. LOL!

And a scant 20 hours in, there are more jobs coming my way:

My reply:

Hello!

As a matter of fact I do! I do all of the image editing for Fashion Ambush. Attached is one of the images I created and edited recently for the yet-to-be-released 4th episode of Fashion Ambush. Treatment in PS included cropping, resizing and combining 25 unique images, cleaning up images, desaturation, colorization of select features, levels, growing and drawing frame for film strips etc...

Scanning I can do at whatever dpi you want, and data entry is a breeze!

Let me know and congrats on being my third offer,

Aimee

MAYBE NO:


From: A@B.com
We are currently looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic sales reps to find new clients who need technical support.Your main task would be to find new clients and setup installation dates for installs. You will receive 12 % commission with is about $500 per deal. For more information please visit www.A@B.com or contact A@B.com


Uh, commissioned sales rep sounds like a whole lot more than a one time offer. I'll e-mail him back, though and see if he'll let me try to sell just one unit in a day.


Ha!

Two more job postings.


I just set up another ad under resumés on Craigslist and yet another on http://www.modelmayhem.com/, which is one of my favorite social networking and portfolio hosting sites for models and photographers.


I've booked many an odd job off of ModelMayhem and I am thankful for its existence and that it's free to use. For non-agency models looking for work, it's especially a blessing. It allows aspiring models who might not otherwise work to find jobs and enjoy themselves.


I also replied to an ad on Craigslist looking for a personal stylist. I think that fits my skill set. I style for Fashion Ambush and I always dress myself for the show. Heck, I created Miss Mae Montreal, a costumed version of myself:




As pictured above, I booked a job for stashmedia.tv because of my Miss Mae Model Mayhem profile! They were looking for costumed cigarette girls to hand out Stash Media DVDs for the Montreal Adapt festival in 2008. I made a reasonable offer to create the costumes, staff the show (me and another model friend named Léa) and booked the job. Simple. The costumes took about twelve hours to make. The hats were the most time consuming.

See? I have mad skills!

:D


Aimee.

First job is confirmed and Podcamp Montreal.

From Brett:

Hi Aimee,

Wednesday in the day would work for me any time.

Give me a call to discuss the particulars.

Have you registered for Podcamp Montreal: http://podcampmontreal.org/

P.S. You idea is refreshingly original.

Smile!

So far so good. Not only do I have one solid offer and one tentative offer, now I find out about a conference that pertains specifically to my chosen industry: new media.


I will attend the conference for sure, and blog about it. There will likely be a number of video cameras there, I imagine.


Feeling less odd about my jobs,


Aimee

Potential Second Offer!

I missed this one on my Twitter a couple of hours ago! A photographer I modeled for several years ago wants to shoot me when he's in town... could this be job number two?

ramsesmoya@onehundredjobs I hire you in a minute... I'll be in Montreal soon... perhaps we could shoot... :D

from web in reply to onehundredjobs

I am surprised no one is offering me a job eating a bucket of bugs for a hundred bucks... yet.

It's coming,

Aimee.

1:01 a.m. FIRST JOB OFFER!

Good golly... I lean on Facebook and Craigslist and look what arrives, smack dab in my inbox:


O.K. You are hired...

Brent on September 13 at 12:48am

I need someone to help give me advice on setting up a 2 camera system that will allow me to shoot for a blog. One of the cameras in internal (on my mac) and the other is external. Nothing complicated I just have a few questions.I've just launched www.socialmediamontreal.com and I need maybe 2-3 hours of your time.Also I'd like to interview you as part of my blog. I only ask you one question (that I will give you in advance) and you have 30 seconds to answer it.

Take care, B

Now I have to book Brent for sometime next week.

Ask and ye shall receive!

One Hundred Jobs is on!

Hello, everyone!

My name is Aimee. I'm a model and actor from Montreal, Quebec. I already host a webseries called Fashion Ambush (www.fashionambush.com), but I have my heart set on another new media mission: One Hundred Jobs.

What's the concept? It's simple. I will do any job for one hundred dollars that anyone hires me for, from dusting a bookshelf to cleaning up trash. As long as it's not illegal, sex work and/or it doesn't endanger my life, I will do it and film it for my video log, and of course, blog about it.

I just posted two jobs wanted ads on Craigslist and Kijiji.ca.

Here it is:

http://montreal.en.craigslist.ca/ats/1371647190.html

My name is Aimee. I'm searching for the ultimate in odd jobs.

I have a bevy of skills in the arts. I have worked hundreds of promo gigs from showgirl to mascot handeler. I have painted signs and sold t-shirts at auto shows. I am a model and actor, and Avon was one of my clients. I clean houses. I have good references. JE SUIS BILINGUE.

What am I looking for? Here's the deal: I will do ANY job you can give me for $100 minimum lasting in duration from 10 minutes to eight hours. I will be filming a part of the job and interviewing you for my video log.

Restrictions: NO SEX WORK of any kind, save burlesque or artistic modeling. NO jobs that will endanger my life (target for shooting range, bomb diffuser, medical testing subject). NO executive assistant jobs taking place in hotel rooms. NO transporting of drugs or arms.

I WILL rake leaves. I WILL hammer nails. I WILL grocery shop. I WILL enter data. I WILL poop scoop for pooches. I WILL DO ONE HUNDRED JOBS. I WILL TELECOMMUTE. I WILL publicize your workplace.

Sounds good? Send your job offers to: aimee.davison@gmail.com

Oh yeah, I also host Fashion Ambush, but that's a side gig. ;)

I am excited about this. I can't wait to be hired, hopefully soon!

:D

The one hundred dollar woman,

Aimee.
