I am interested in working with the development of projects from the writing and producing -to the talent and creation. I have enjoyed involvement in the many aspects of Production over the years.
Tanya of G.L.O.W. R U reading the blog? What do you want to know most about my GLOW days? Posted at 3:34 AM Jun 2, 2008 view more
About me: Hello to Everyone...
The day has finally come , I have taken the dunk, oh I mean plunk, or plunge! All your silly American phrases .
So before I hang out to dry off, or hang myself out to dry...umm at this rate I will be hanging on a very thin branch in no time. Oh yes I got it, “going out on a limb!”
Whether I am hanging by a limb, or skating on thin Ice… The time has finally come to put forth some of my classified, formerly “top secret” incredible photos and portfolio.
As the years have passed and time has changed many things, my previously “classified” portfolio has become ready to be revealed to the world wide web! This amazing modern information super highway. Yes the Internet! What better way to make available the collection of your favorite wrestling sweethearts? The talented women that risked so much 20 years ago… long before any one thought women could be anything more than prissy mud throwers to the world of wrestling. We beat our way into your homes and hearts, using our varied backgrounds and fearless nature to carve a place in history, in the Television hit series, The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling!
Risked? You dare ask? Oh yes, these ladies, including myself defined the meaning to your American phrase about going out on a limb. Many of us left the comfort of our countries, cities, towns and communities…packed up our young lives and dreams and hopes to make a difference and met up in the Mecca of the then modern Live Entertainment Capital of the World –Las Vegas! We dared to take on the moves and aggression of the men’s style in Entertainment Professional Wrestling. We exposed our smaller frames and agile physiques to the flying, falling, and pounding of the most ambitious of wrestling moves. When the male counter parts went off the middle ropes, we went of the top ropes… It had never been done before! “Women can’t do what men do?” The famous last words we all grew up hearing…
Women CAN and did and still do what men do! Only we do as true Ladies never afraid to be, always true to our feminine nature. Strong and sleek were some of us on the surface, but beneath every women was the Lady we new we could still be. So we wore our flashy girly costumes, made-up our faces, and curled and glittered our long locks; we sang and danced as we presented the one-of-a-kind entertainment and sports show that has become the example of what Ladies Wrestling can still only aspire too… GLOW!
Many girls and young women came to Las Vegas after GLOW had made landmark ratings in Television syndication. After only one season had aired. The GLOW phenomenon had opened up a world of possibilities for girls everywhere- that had only dreamed of showing their strength and pride in formerly men dominated athletics.
It was a tall order to fill the shoes of the ladies that had broke through in first seasons. Many came but only a select group survived the rigors of training, and then the development of the famous and infamous colorful GLOW characters. We developed our arsenals, prepped our style and soon season 3 and 4 hit the airwaves even bigger than before. We toured with a live show; appeared on talk shows and guest stared in Television comedies. All while shaping the history of Women’s Wrestling and winning the hearts of the next generation of young and old fans alike.
