This little gal is for a Mystery Men campaign, which should tell you alot about why her shirt is pink and she's wearing sunglasses if you've ever seen the movie with the same name. :)

She's part of the Panini crime family, but isn't allowed to participate in the family "bui'ness" 'cause she's a girl and daddy just wants her to go look pretty (somewhere ELSE). One day she got herself locked in the garage and to stave off boredom, started reading the "Super Secret Correspondance School of Sneaky Ninja Tricks" manual her brother had hidden out there. She decided to take the course and began fighting crime. It's hard work being a sneaky ninja when you have a conspicuous fashion sense!

Her shirt is foundry's shadow pink set and her pants are foundry's raw linen set. I really like working with the foundry paints. :) My fiancee made the sunglasses for me. I wanted star-shaped ones, but he was having trouble making them small enough not to look too ridiculous, so I went with more traditional shaped ones. I wanted to get half a dozen of the models and paint them all in different outfits, but Devin says he doesn't want to make that many sunglasses =(.
