Popular Post Garga Posted April 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Have any of you heard of the tv show called “High School”? Here’s the rotten tomatoes page that gives it pretty high reviews. You can see it for free on FreeVee or if you have Amazon Prime. Anyway, here’s the scoop: my cousin’s kids are identical twin girls. They’ve always been outgoing and lighthearted, if a little bit aimless. They didn’t go to college and only bothered with odd jobs at places like pizza parlors. Sometimes they’d post themselves on TikTok lip synching a few lines to a song or showing their outfits for the day. They’re not girly-girls, so their outfits were just regular-looking clothes. Nothing fancy. But their light-hearted energy comes through in their videos. Anyway, while my 2nd cousins were busy working their fast food jobs and posting TikTok videos, Tegan and Sara, identical twin sisters who are Canadian singer-songwriters, had been busy writing a autobiography about their high school years. They decided to make it into a TV show, but they needed lead, identical twin actresses. It would be helpful if the twin actresses were in their early twenties. And looked like Tegan and Sara. Oh, and were gay, too. Kinda specific and a bit of a tall order! They looked and looked, but weren’t finding what they needed. People heard that they were looking for twins to play the lead roles of Sara and Tegan on the tv show and people starting telling Tegan and Sara about these twins on TikTok that sort of even looked like Sara and Tegan and had their same energy. So, Tegan wrote to Railey (my 2nd cousin) explaining that she was looking for lead actresses for a tv show. Of course Railey and Seazynn (the other twin) were like, “Nah. Scam. Not falling for it!” But Tegan/Sara finally convinced them that they were for real. Railey was ready to take it on, but Seazynn wasn’t so sure. But over time, everyone convinced Seazynn to try out, and she did and they got hired to play the lead roles in the TV show. And they fit every criteria for the show. My second cousins had zero acting experience and couldn’t play any instruments. So, they went to Canada for months of crash-courses in acting and guitar playing and singing. They worked super hard and in 2022, the first season came out and it got great reviews! I think you can kind of tell they’re new to acting in the first couple of episodes, but that also makes them come across as more genuine and how teenagers really talk/walk, etc. I had no idea if I’d like the show, and I ended up loving it. They use a storytelling technique where they’ll show the same scene but from different character’s points of view. It’s clever. Anyway, the family is super proud of Railey and Seazynn and I wanted to brag, especially since it’s such a fun story about how they were discovered out of the blue. Here’s an article about them if you’d like to read it. Edited April 11, 2023 by Garga 54 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibiche Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Neat story. Just a precision: if they’re your first cousin’s children, they’re your first cousins once removed. Your children are their second cousins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercyA Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 They are adorable and their interview was very fun. I liked the part about climbing electrical towers. 🙂 Garga, did they grow their hair out for the show, or was it already long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their hair was short before. 🙂 Edited April 12, 2023 by Garga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
