Last week, Gearbox announced it was looking for real, live women to audition for Borderlands 2, specifically those with a “plausible resemblance” to the character Lilith. Today, a CBS news station in Dallas-Fort Worth has posted a video segment showing some of the women who have auditioned so far, and a couple resembles Lilith quite well. The job pays $1,000 a day, and Gearbox has said that zero acting or modeling experience is required. The only thing required, is that the lady be able to show a range of emotions through facial expressions – something women are naturally good at anyway. Check out the video below. Borderlands 2 is out next year on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Gearbox is looking to hire a live-action model for Borderlands 2, specifically one who has a sufficiently “plausible resemblance” to the character Lilith. The firm is looking for a female between the ages of 18 and 30 (aren’t we all?) who is free for testing and shooting during the first three weeks of December. No prior acting or modeling experience is required, so ladies in the Dallas area: go nuts. The only thing you need to be able to do is show a range of emotions through facial expressions. More details on how to apply can be found here. Thanks, VoodooExtreme.
