Story
Mission Statement
Slapstick Gold is on a mission to inspire you to laugh, cry, and go for your dreams. We write stories for women, about women, with a supporting cast inclusive of all different races, genders, and sexualities. We are making the pledge for a 75% female crew and cast!About The Project
Billie (Veronica Mannion) and Charlie (Ariel Hart) are two best friends who feel invisible in their work lives, dating lives... and pretty much everywhere else in their lives...
After one too many ghostings from their "soulmates" they found on the newest dating app, this sad pair hatches an experiment to see how the other half lives... Someone who has it so much easier.... Like someone hot.... Or maybe someone BLONDE... ?
Will these two gal pals reach the pinnacle of success in their new "golden" life? Or will they become wanted criminals, make the news, and make grown men cry?
Watch as our girls get caught up on the ride of their lives! Will they "dye" trying to fit in with their new cool social club?
or will they remember their "roots" and be true to themselves?
