Up-and-coming rock band The Strokes are casting their newest video:

IMPORTANT: The video is cutting edge and we are looking for talent that is comfortable with getting physical on set. Do not submit if you are uncomfortable making-out with members of the same/opposite sex (depending on scene).
[...]
LESBIANS, 20s-30's, "Victoria Secret" model-type lesbians, prefer Caucasian.
The scene involves kissing and being affectionate with another woman.

The scene involves an aggressive make-out session in a taxi with another female.
