91裸聊视频淚n my version instead of point shoes and being ethereal, my Firebird is grounded and athletic. It91裸聊视频檚 a totally different aesthetic,91裸聊视频� said Funk Barton.
91裸聊视频淚t was inspired by an old Russian fairy tale and I was thinking about what are our fairy tales now. They are comic books and star wars and DC those are our fairy tales so how do I make it contemporary and still keep its classical essence91裸聊视频� to me the Firebird is a combination of The Flash and Mystique. She is almost what is referred to as a meta-human.91裸聊视频�
Funk Barton also changed the ending, in the original she said that the Firebird91裸聊视频檚 magic is taken from her however in this version she gives it up to help people.
Spring will be showcased at the Kelowna Community Theatre May 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at
