Earlier this week I received my regular emailed notice of my Facebook Friends that are celebrating their birthdays this week...

One name that jumped out at me was that Melody Mooney was going to be celebrating her birthday this upcoming Sunday.  I had suggested to Melody when I first met her at the LBCC in early October that I thought she would be perfect for one of my Blog's "Spotlight On..." Main Feature articles whenever she was ready. 

So I contacted her shortly after receiving the emailed notification and was pleased to receive the publicity photos published above, and a bio on herself, along with a personal note.

Here is what Melody sent me for this 'Spotlight On... Melody Mooney!': 

Melody or HYGENA from ‘Who wants to be a Superhero’ Season two was thrilled to be one of the three finalists and the last Super Girl Standing on the show! Her tag line is 'Fighting Grime and Crime' and her Hero was born at a Convention when she saw a need for someone to clean up after others and teach them proper Hygiene.

Melody is a Canadian born transplant that lives in LA with her Husband. She is involved in Children's Theatre and works with LA Unified School District Inner City Arts program to bring Theatre and fun to under privileged children. Melody loves Star Wars and has a huge Action figure and toy collection. She is a fan of Sci-Fi in general; so much so, she makes her own fan films and enjoys editing them as well. You can currently catch Melody on Youtube and in two independent films. Melody's dream job would be to join the cast of 'Capria' the Battlestar Galactica prequel.

Melody raises money and awareness for The March of Dimes , The Epilepsy Foundation and Pet Orphans.org.

The following are the links to keep up with Melody, who you can see is a very busy person!

My wife Tina LoSasso, President of Make It So Marketing Inc, just loved the way that Melody had her booth at the Long Beach Comic Con set up.  Besides being dressed as 'Hygena', Melody also had hygenic products with the Hygena label. What a heck of a marketing idea!  Plus, Melody was genuinely outgoing with all those that walked by, even though it had to be a looooong three day comic con standing on her feet most of the time!

As you can tell by this blog post and earlier blog mentions, I was also impressed by Melody when meeting her in person.  She is someone You should make a point of seeing at a comic con or pop culture convention that is being held in your local area!  Until she makes it out toward your area... check out the links she provided above to see what else is going on with Melody!

Thanks to Melody for the above photos and info... and most of all...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to You Melody on Sunday!
