The New Bonnie and Clyde
Ivy Naidoo is a model from South Africa who is looking for a way out of her life whether it be by her own hand or not. She works for everyone else and pleases everyone else so much so that she doesn’t know the meaning of happiness. She has a fantasy of a better existence and something inside of her tells her that her next modeling job will provide her much needed release.
Within moments of landing in Saint Thomas, VI, she meets the breathtaking man who finally grants her wishes. He shows her that she is allowed to be pampered and the center of someone’s world. He does anything and everything to keep her happy even when it comes to eliminating the human cancers that plague her world. She thanks him by creating a lasting bond that will carry them throughout to the very end. My inspirational model muse for this character is Jessi M'Bengue. I actually modeled Ivy's entire character - mind, body, and spirit - from Jessi. When I think of Ivy, I only see her. |
Jeremiah Gatling is a man that has been lost in the world alone for far too long. People usually stray away from the likes of him. They fear more than respect him. His family has shunned him to living a solitary existence. Then one day, a working tourist changes his life forever.
When he meets Ivy Naidoo, he knows that she is the one for him. He can see the hurt in her – the same pain that he shares. Even though he regrets bringing her into his personal Hell, he is grateful for their love and constant companionship. They have a bond that shall never be broken – no matter who tries. Not even Cay Winters. My inspirational model muse for this character is Keston Karter. I believe that he and Ivy compliment each other perfectly. |
