The ad reminds me of the high-camp classic TORCH SONG where Broadway star Joan Crawford has a personal assistant that acts as stenographer, run lines with her at night AND cooks lamb chops for her as well.

I can't imagine anyone but the most desperate of newbies, or dangerous of queenies even applying.

Creepy all around.

It sounds like a lot more than part-time. Plus, it doesn't sound like a personal assistant, it sounds like a MAID! It sounds like a lot of schlepping. A personal assistant gig is a decent one if you can find a gracious celeb.

You get what you pay for and $10 an hour is gonna get you a neurotic queen, a nut job, or a parolee.

Andy Cohen, this would make a great reality show, "Hey, Tovah", anyone.

Yes, Bettyboy! Let's assume she hires the neurotic queen... We could call the reality show: "I'm So Ovah, Miss Tovah!"

If it's anything like introducing a new fish into an aquarium, they'll have to float her in a bag for 15 minutes so she can gradually get used to the temperature of her new surroundings. Then they'll need to make sure there are things she can hide under or behind as she gets used to the room.

Actually...that's the one I understand the most. Having someone coordinate the move-in to your dressing room or temp apartment while out of town sounds delicious. Even better is when you make them pack your SH*T up and send it back to you.

The most I ever got during a show was someone running to get me a Gatorade cause I was sick as a dog. I was drunk with power.
