On The Crest Of A Wave

Calling all fans of #OTLFP - presenters @MillieOTLFP and @Pixie_Tooth are looking for applicants to be the BackStage Pass winner for upcoming shows! 

In case you're not familiar with the weekly show, or don't know how the process works, #OTLFP stands for Off The Leash Fur Pals, the Saturday production by anipals, for anipals and about anipals, and it's one of the big highlights of the week. Run by Millie and Pixie, it aims to interview one anipal a week (apart from the occasional well-earned night off), as well as promoting pet rescues and giving a mention to some less well-known anipals that you might like to follow. On each show, the lucky winner of the BackStage Pass gets a ride to the studio in #RosiesLimo (a pawesome experience not to be missed!) on the way to the Fur and Make-Up Department for some highly enjoyable pampering before eventually stepping in front of the cameras to put two questions to the interviewee. It's an exciting experience, and great fun, and best of all, all you have to do to qualify is to wave your paws when the audience is asked to so that the spotlight picks you out and you get your chance to win! 

Recently, not many pals have been waving for their opportunity to win this pawesome prize, and Millie and Pixie are at a loss to know why. There's been a lot of discussion about it this week, and no-one can work out quite why it's happening, but the main theories so far are that there are so many tweets going by on the hashtag so quickly that maybe not everyone is seeing the requests to wave, Twitter is clearly having problems getting all tweets to show up on all hashtags, so maybe the invitations aren't showing up on some screens, and previous BSP winners aren't applying again because they feel they've had their turn already and they don't want to seem greedy by applying again. I must admit that I've been guilty of that. I've been a BSP winner myself (and I can recommend it as terrific fun!), and haven't been waving because I thought it was only fair to keep my paws to myself and give other pals a chance of winning. 

Whatever the reason, it seems that not enough paws have been catching the spotlight, and if a much-loved segment of the show is to continue, more are needed. Millie and Pixie are very friendly and helpful as well as being totally professional hosts, and they'll help you through rehearsals and with anything you need. They're very experienced at handling guests' stage fright, and you can talk to them at any time on DM if you get stuck. I can promise you a great experience and lots of fun, so go on - tomorrow and every Saturday, just get your paws in the air like you just don't care! 

You'll be glad you did 😊
