From the Cube…Is this Life imitating art or the other way around?

Cube Extra: Be an extra on Tanners Point
Cube was surfing through MySpace this morning. (Yes. Cube monitors MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and any other social network where local people gather.) While I was surfing, I found this:

———-

“Become Part of the Tanners Point Cast -….

Since I don’t believe everything I read, especially on MySpace, I sent out my feelers. Lo and behold producer Ethan Marten emails me directly. So guess what… it’s true.

Sundays Blue Box Tanning Resort Takes to the Small Screen

By Carolyn Killewald

One thing that leaders in every industry have in common is the uncanny ability to think outside the box.
It was this special gift that put Salon Owner Dennis Liggon in the position he is in today. The owner of ten successful tanning salons is planning the premiere party for his new reality television show, which is set to air on March 15. The new TV show called Tanners Point, with a positive outlook on tanning and a smart balance between entertainment and documentation, aims to be a crowd-pleaser….

Nearly 500 people crowded into the Wynham Hotel on Virginia Beach’s oceanfront to attend the Tanners Point Red Carpet Gala Event. The evening included a fashion show by April Spring’s “Foxers.” Highlight performances were turned in by Jay Bellamy, Jackmove, and The Atlantic, whose song “What’s the Point” serves as the show’s theme.

Shooting for another upcoming episode of Tanners Point took place during the show’s VIP Red Carpet Event. Even an impromtu press conference announcing the signing of a deal for a new reality series based on Brother-Sister Nascar Drivers Tiffany and Cliff Daniels!

Execution surpassed expectations as the evening more than lived up to its promise. Attendees ranging from cast, crew, and the Sundays Blue Box Tanning Resort team to WTKR, WVEC, WAVY, FOX News, The Virginian-Pilot, The Daily Press, AP, and The Virginia Film Office, Virginia Beach City Council Members and publishers of the tanning industry’s top publications all celebrated together.

Helps that the food and Verve were top notch as well. Gotta feed those hungry cast, crew and media folks ;)

What’s a Zombie to do? Can anybody tell me where a Zombie can get a good Tan at a great price these days? Sure, cracking flesh and peeling skin can be so horribly unappealing. That’s why all the undead eventually stumble into the D’Light Zone – Sundays Blue Box Tanning Resort!

Look for Tanners Point on Cox Channel 11 or go to the Official Tanners Point Website for listings, extras or to find out how to appear on a future episode.
