Local Girls Having “Total Euphoria Moment” at North Florida Fair
The North Florida Fair came and went, as did many girls’ fantasies of finally encapsulating that “Zendaya energy.” The vast amount of carousels, food stands, and neon lighting provided girls county-wide with the chance to show any loose casting directors that they have what it takes to be on HBO. For one friend group, the North Florida Fair was not too dissimilar to the Euphoria episode “Shook Ones Part II” in which the angsty teens get up to sexy shenanigans at the carnival.
“We went to the fair expecting to have a night filled with debauchery, carousels and spilled chili. But then we found out how expensive molly was, and also that a ginger man and his little sidekick don’t just randomly sell it at the hot dog stands. There was no chili cook-off either, which was a bummer. I was so hoping to have my Maddy Perez I-AM-GIA moment.” said Allison Fishman as she smacked her Glossier-coated lips. “I was really hoping some random casting director would see me stomping around the fairgrounds and keep me in mind for season two. I was an extra in a short film for the film school so I think I’m more than qualified.”
An employee running the ball toss booth that night provided insight into the girls’ antics. “That night was a blur for me. One of the girls missed completely and hit me right in the head. I probably deserved that, though. I literally scam children for a living,” said Gerald Aldine into his carnie microphone. “I got a little concerned when I saw her hop on the carousel, but she just kind of let the wind blow through her hair as the little horsies went round and round. Until she started sobbing when she was reminded that season two of Euphoria wasn’t coming anytime soon. Something about, ‘someone needs to get Zendaya off that stupid desert planet! The sad girls are counting on her!’ I hope she finds peace and love in her life.”
While this round of fairground gals didn’t totally get what they expected, at least they know how to better be prepared for next year. Such as getting their molly in advance, and maybe networking with their film student friends to try and somehow get in touch with Sam Levinson himself. If you’re one of those planning to attempt this at your local fair, be forewarned. You may not get the main character moment you think you will.
