WI info and twitter

Good morning and happy Saturday!

A quick note, I twittered (39 years old and twittering...who knew?!) TLC PR and asked what was going on with the show (WI) and if they were going forward with the show?

The response was this..."Yes - the show is still being developed".

Part 3 of my Vegas experience will be posted on Monday but until then, have a wonderful weekend!

*speaking of twitter, if you'd like to follow me, my name on twitter is Pitchwomen*

A little secret...Anthony Sullivan is "following me"! :)

  1. Yes Tracy you're correct, WI is in the
    process of callbacks through the end of
    September.

  2. Yes, I knew they were doing call backs but my real question was whether or not they were ready to shoot. I remember them saying that the show will air in March but since we have not heard much about it in the media...I was just curious to see if it was still on. It seems they are still in the "development" stage from what the TLC PR told me...
    Either way, I can't wait to see it!!!! :)

  5. So cool Tracy that Sully is your follower! I always enjoy your stories of exciting times!!! Glad to hear about your WI twitter. I did talk with Dave from Milojo yesterday, and he said they are still making decisions. I'm so glad that you tweeted (?) them. I like hearing it from all different sources!!!

    Keep on posting!!! :)

  6. Thank you Deedra!!! You always have such great updates.

    I was wondering how the adoption is going for you? I have been praying for God to help you and your family.

  7. Thank Anonymous, wish I knew who you were! We are in a BIG legal battle in the adoption. I can't post details....but it's crazy and we keep praying and hoping and praying that in the end we'll get to keep little Charlie! We brought him home from the hospital almost 8 weeks ago! :)

    After telling our lawyer about the longshot of WI, she said, "hope you get on there and can sell a lot of freakin' headbands so you can pay for all of this!." I said, "from your lips to God's ears." :) Thanks for praying!!!

  8. Very fine updates ladies... thanks!
    They reinforce what I've been told too!
    Just remember... whether we achieve the
    HSN contract or not, the exposure is
    unbelievable if chosen for the show!

  9. Hmmm...they're sure making us sweat it out, aren't they!

  10. Oh Yes they are!!

    Deedra I am praying for you in regards to the adoption. God has a plan for Charlie and I will pray it is for him to remain with your family!
    PS
    I am an adoptive Mom of two. So this is close to my heart.

    Best wishes to all in regards to WI's decisions,
    Mary S

  11. Mornin' Miss Tracy...just a thought for you re Twitter...are you sure you don't want your name on Twitter to be "PitchwomAn"? Sorry - it's the secretary in me coming out :)... We are hitting the Twitter scene as well - I will post next week with the deets on how to follow us :). Of course we will be following you as well!!!

    I am NOT surprised in the least that Sully is following you anywhere :) (wink, wink)!! Looking forward to Vegas Part 3

  12. Hey Jen,

  13. I'm looking at this week as being the big week of callbacks... whatcha think?! :o)!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I hope so!!! Does anyone know if everyone that has received a contract will get a callback?

    ReplyDelete
  15. All signed contract holders should get a callback. Since they need the first pool of inventors and a second pool (in case emergencies prevent an inventor from completing the show)in order for the show to run smoothly. Scheduling and informing is a necessity for contract holders, they need to prepare their calendars and families accordingly. It is also common courtesy to receive a callback at this point in the game.

  16. If it's NOT this week then something seems screwy! Regardless of whether actual call backs will be scheduled, we who have signed contracts should receive at least SOME form of communication that serves as an update for plans going forward...even if that means the timetable has been revised. I'm optimistic that such a communication will come this week. Good luck to all my fellow women inventors!

  17. Like the song says, "The waiting is the hardest part"!

  18. Tracy, PitchwomEn....soooo what have you and Stacey got planned? Is this the launch you've been talking about? :)

    Can't wait to hear.

  19. Anonymous,
    I was just rereading the back posts and am I right in understanding that you have received and signed and returned a contract with WI and now are waiting for a call back? I read in your post: "those of us who have signed contracts". Did you receive your contract through email? Or how did you receive it? Plase forgive me if you addressed that already I must have missed it.

  20. Yes, there are several of us that have received and signed contracts (some did not sign) and we are just waiting(and waiting......) for callbacks. They say very soon, supposedly before the end of September. There seemed to be two waves of contracts about a month a part. Hope that helps.
    #3 signed contract holder!
    Tracy where is our update today?

  22. There have been interviews with contract holders this week from Milojo. It seems that they started on Wednesday. Milojo is behind schedule a bit, there is much involved in making this happen.

  23. I received an E-mail from the Creative Executive and she told me the decision will be made by the end of September, which is next Wednesday. I am sad I haven't heard, but from what I am reading everywhere, the contracts sent and the calls made are "tentative". I believe the 16 Finalists have not been determined yet. I wish you all the best as we wait in joyful hope! :) Lisa/BagBundle@comcast.net
