The young ladies pictured above with Angelique and Belle were our very first Number 1 Fans. Their families just happen to be friends of ours and we were not thinking that the girls would memorize our songs and some of the lines from the shows throughout the years. One year they even came dressed in a mini-Bell and mini-Angelique costumes. Maria decided that she might just have to start an intern program, since the two girls wanted to be part of the fun.
A couple years ago, Nissa turned 16 and Maria sat down with her parents to go over plans for the internship. Unfortunately, Nissa had to wait for this year to participate in the internship program due to the lack of local shows being booked.
This year Nissa got her chance...
Angelique, Nissa, and Captain Bashby
Nissa took pictures, helped unload and load the show stuff, and worked the merchandise table for Swords and Roses. Hopefully, you will see more of her next summer and possibly in a show now that she is old enough.
We also had a chance to welcome the other lady of the original First Fans into the internship program this year. If you attended a Super Hero Show this summer you might have seen Meaghan.
Meaghan, The Trainer, Llama Rama, and The Cleaning Lady
The Sequin Sensation, Meaghan, and The Trainer
You will see Meaghan next summer or sooner. Meaghan will be training with us and you might even catch her in a fight with Angelique next year.
Just a warning, in 3 years we will have another intern!!!
