A pinch of jiggle, a loving spoonful of silicon, a cursory talent in playing games and a complete lack of self-respect. Sure, those are some of the ingredients, but what else is necessary to be a Frag Doll — that elite group of "gaming grrls" marketed by Ubisoft straight to your crotch?
Well, for one, a puerile penchant for embarrassing smack talk...
As we waited, Valkyrie, one of the existing Frag Dolls, yelled out rhetorically, "Can I ask each of them to give me an example of their (smack) talk?""OK, girls," she shouted after the eight entered. "We've seen that you can talk the talk. Now we're going to see if you can walk the walk. Stand up and give me an example of your (smack) talk."
"Say my name," shouted Monica Inderlied, a 21-year-old from Norman, Okla.
"You shoot like a boy," 27-year-old Jennifer King of Seattle said to huge laughter.
"I want all of you to eat it," shouted Rennelly Morel, 19, from Brooklyn, N.Y.
News.com's article on the April Frag Doll auditions ends just short of the most important stage of the try-outs: an interview on the casting couch with an Ubisoft director and the six original Frag Dolls. Which is too bad... that would have been an excellent opportunity for some real gonzo style journalism.
