Yesterday, I tweeted this post for Bon Temps biggest busybody, @MissVonetta.
We’re still on the hunt. If you think you have what it takes to be Vonetta, here are a couple of things to know about @MissVonetta and a few questions from me.
Vonetta appears in only one episode. True Blood Season 2, Episode 12. While we can be sure she knows everyone in town, she might not know that Hoyt is dating a vampire. She might have heard about Fangtasia, but she doesn’t know Eric or Pam, and you can be pretty sure that like everyone else in town, she has NO idea that Lafayette was in the Fangtasia basement for a few weeks. Vonetta would be a little playful and flirty with Sam. BUT if you’re thinking that this is going to be an opportunity for her to wear Sam like scrunchie, think again. Knowing Sam’s character, he’d politely give her the brush off. After all, he’s not the type of guy that would lead a woman on for more $$$.
Vonetta is someone who can take the smallest detail and turn it into a whopper of a story.
So without further ado, here are my questions:
1) I’ve told you my thoughts on Vonetta, but you’re the one who’s going to have to play her. How would you bring her to life?
2) What would Vonetta have in her purse?
3) Using 140 characters only, tell me in Vonetta’s words what happened:
- You’re at the Super-Sav-A-Bunch. You see Arlene Fowler pick up a home pregnancy test.
- You’re at the Grabbit Kwik. You see Sookie go to the fridge to pick up a 4-pack of Tru:Blood. She pulls out the 4-pack, puts it back into the fridge and leaves.
- You’re at Merlotte’s. You pass by the kitchen and see Lafayette nervously hang up his cellphone and slump down to the kitchen floor.
If you want to be considered for the role of @MissVonetta, please email your responses to the three questions to me at sookieinbontemps@gmail.com. Deadline is Friday, January 29 at 5pm CST.
Are you the biggest busybody in Bon Temps?
Do you have a knack for observing the everyday and turning it into a big story that’ll have all the tongues in town wagging?
If so, you just might be @MissVonetta. Remember her? She was one of the women gossiping at Merlotte’s about space aliens (S2, E12). She wants to wear Sam like a scrunchie? Ring any bells?
Who you are — observant, witty, and a little obnoxious. People listen to you because your tall tales are entertaining — nevermind that most of your stories only contain a kernel of truth.
If you’re interested in picking up the part, read through her last round of tweets, then email me at sookieinbontemps@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter.

We’re doing a very special True Blood on Twitter this Wednesday, January 13.
Why Wednesday and not Thursday night? It’s Dracula Night, and we’re celebrating the Prince of Darkness’ birthday with a True Blood on Twitter performance of Charlaine Harris’ short story, “Dracula Night.” If you haven’t read it, I recommend that you do. The story was first published in the anthology, Many Bloody Returns, and in A Touch of Dead, released in October 2009.
Here are the details for Wednesday night:
Hope you’ll join us, because it’ll be a bloody good time.
And, after Wednesday night, True Blood on Twitter will move back to it’s regularly scheduled time slot on Thursday nights at 9pm CST.
