My birthday was on Saturday. I don\u2019t even remember the last time it was on a Saturday. To celebrate I had a little\u00a0last minute party\u00a0which involved dancing, roasting s\u2019mores, and a party necessity in my circle,\u00a0J\u00e4ger\u00a0shots.<\/p>\n

Last year I thought I\u2019d thank all you loyal HNG readers with a birthday\u00a0Batgirl photo shoot. It was a ton of fun so I thought I\u2019d make it a tradition. This year I debated what costume to use. I\u2019ve been working on a prototype \u201cHNG Superhero\u201d costume for about 7 months and I finally figured out exactly what I wanted and completed the outfit.<\/p>\n
Meet \u201cDelilah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why the name Delilah? I honestly can\u2019t give you one reason. I\u2019ve always liked the name and I even named a pet mouse Delilah about 8 years ago. Also, I like the idea that a badass superhero chick would have a super girly name. But mostly, it came to me in my sleep. I had a dream about the character and everyone in the dream kept calling her Delilah. I started using the name to refer to the costume and it stuck. So there.<\/p>\n
By the by, I have a lot of fun writing the little stories that go along with my pictures. So thank you for indulging me when it comes to them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
What\u2019s that? You want to win a signed copy of one of these pictures? Ok, fine. There\u2019s a contest after the pics.<\/p>\n
Hey there bitches, my name\u2019s Delilah.<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019m a bit of a badass.<\/em><\/p>\n No really, I am. See?<\/em><\/p>\n I patrol the streets at night looking for trouble. Or maybe the trouble comes looking for me.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to tell the difference sometimes.<\/em><\/p>\n So I always have to be on my guard.<\/em><\/p>\n You never know what you\u2019re going to find when you walk around a corner.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s best to be prepared.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026with attitude!<\/em><\/p>\n Did someone order awesome\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026with a side of whoop ass?<\/em><\/p>\n Hey, check out my fierce battle cry! AHHHHH!!!!<\/em><\/p>\n A true crime fighter never rests. But she can sit on a skanky old tire and take a breather for a minute, mmmkay?<\/em><\/p>\n When the sun rises and dawn sheds her harsh light on this foul city it\u2019s time for me to go home.<\/em><\/p>\n But never fear, Delilah will be back again tomorrow night, defending the streets against the scum and villainy.<\/em><\/p>\n Many, many thanks to photographer extraordinaire\u00a0Jon Upson\u00a0for taking such amazing pictures and for sweet talking the lady cop who thought I was underage (ha!). \u00a0To Mama Jedi for helping out and also being mistaken for underage (ha!). \u00a0And to my friend Darcy for staying up past his bedtime on a school night to help me out and for all the constant support.<\/p>\n Now about that contest part\u2026<\/p>\n Since the\u00a0Babe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter contest\u00a0was such a success, I decided to try it again.
