Trade your spouse

A search for a Hawaii family to participate in the second series of Fox's reality series "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy" will take place 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Thanks to the success of the first season, new participants will be able to experience the lifestyles of dramatically different families. There will also be a financial incentive for participating families.

The open casting call was announced by Tyler Ramsey, supervising casting producer at Rocket Science Laboratories, producers of earlier Fox shows "Joe Millionaire," "Temptation Island" and "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancˇ."

"We are looking for fun families with eclectic backgrounds, eccentric lifestyles and an interesting family dynamic," said Ramsey.

Interested parties should bring two family photos. It's not necessary for all family members to show up, but parents should attend.
