Another Journey Begins...

I must say going on a modeling tour is definitely one of the best perks of being a model. All the dieting, exercising, and character research is made all worth the time spent when you know you're going on a trip to make money and spend time with amazing people. On this particular trip Shakeshift and I were headed to North Carolina, Georgia, and sunny Florida. Finally time to get out of a state full of snow!

Prior to this trip Shakeshift scored an awesome deal on a Nightwing costume. A model was selling her old costume and Shakeshift happen to snatch it up before it was too late. I believe the costume will be a great addition to our content. 

One issue we faced when working on the character is what do we change to convey the character as a girl. The hair was biggest issue we faced. Most girls just use their own hair, but because I always use wigs we had a limited choice in styles. 

Normally Nightwing has dark black hair; if we decided to go with a dark wig that would mean I would use my Wonder Woman wig. We felt that style would not best suit the character. We could have gone blonde, but I felt the character should be a bit more out of the box and not predictable. That’s when Jessica Nova suggested we make our Nightwing a red head. Red headed super heroes are not as common as super heroes with blonde or dark hair; so I felt this would be a nice change of pace. That is when we set on our Nightwing to be a red-head with a ponytail.


What makes me most excited about this trip is the new Nightwing character that I will be debuting for the League of Amazing Women and Dawnstar Productions. I've always been a huge Batman and Robin fan; in fact Dick Grayson is my favorite Robin. But I had only ever seen Nightwing a handful of times, so I did not know an extensive amount about the character. Luckily I really enjoy the research part of modeling; it means I get to watch hours of super hero shows, which brings me right back to my childhood watching the Super Friends.
