Vanessa Veasley Takes One Small Step…
And alas, the last of our heroes is revealed. Ironically, Vanessa was the first model I cast and photographed for SlickforceGirl. Though best known for her jaw-dropping curves, I knew Vanessa as an avid space nerd, and I decided this was a character she could effortlessly jump—or moonwalk—into.
As our first SlickforceGirl, Vanessa ventured with me into the unknown. To prepare for her role, she endured weeks of rigorous preparation, including costume tests, prop hunting, and, yes, even wire-harness stunt training.

Jessica Burciaga Swings the Wrecking Ball

At her shoot in the blazing hot Mojave desert, Jessica had to get down and dirty for this gritty role.

Model Kersti Pitre Shoots a Bullseye
[caption id="attachment_1999" align="aligncenter" width="760"] This might sting a bit.[/caption]
From NickSaglimbeni.com:
Certain journeys change you forever. For me, among those journeys are my travels to Kenya. So many of the people I met there possessed a warmth and strength in spirit that I have rarely seen, and I ended up making friends I'm certain I will keep for life.
When I set out to create the SlickforceGirl team, I knew that one of the characters must be Kenya-inspired. It would take someone with an equally strong heart to play the role, and I found just what I needed with model Kersti Pitre. South Africa-born and Southern California-raised, Kersti experienced her very first shoot right here at Slickforce only a few years ago. Now, get ready for her to impress viewers with her range as she tackles one of the toughest heroes of the bunch.
A very special thanks goes out to the women of the Mama Saruni Masai in Amboseli, Kenya, for hand-crafting Kersti's jewelry, and to my very good friend Ali Khan of Vumbi Jeep Safaris for coordinating our trans-Atlantic operation.

New England’s Kaitlynn Carter Scorches
When I couldn't find just the right model for this heroic SlickforceGirl character, I decided to venture away from my usual roster and take a chance on some new talent. It was Boston beauty Kaitlynn Carter's first time in front of my camera, and she crushed the challenge put before her. Kaitlynn brought grace and sincerity to a role that might have been played too rigid by others. In doing so, she epitomized the true nature of a SlickforceGirl—the perfect balance of courage and beauty. See more from Kaitlynn and our other heroes right here at SlickforceGirl.com!

SlickforceGirl Nazanin Mandi Brings the Rain
Nazanin Mandi is no stranger to my camera—she's modeled for at least seven commercial projects of mine since 2006, and has played every role from Persian princess to R&B vixen to fashion model. So when casting this stormy SlickforceGirl character, I knew exactly who to call. Never one to back down from a challenge, look for Nazanin to put the freeze on the competition when she unleashes her fury.
