Born to a poor family in the Yucatan, Margarita Colon ran away at fourteen to find fame in the United States. Abandoning her heritage she changed her named to Margret Collins and embarked on an acting and modeling career. By nineteen, she was an international superstar, but always hiding the truth of her heritage.
As fate would have it, a leading Mexican fashion designer, Diego Reyes, invited Margaret to do a photo shoot and fashion show at an exclusive resort in the Yucatan. Reluctantly she went.
After a wild party in her penthouse suite, Margaret completely drunk and under the effect of several drugs. Fell onto her bed. She felt a tightening in her left arm and her heat began to race. She felt her throat constrict and her breathing became forced. Even in her stupor Margaret knew this might be the end.
The door of her room opened. An ancient looking cleaning woman entered and stared at the starlet on the bed. The old woman asked, "Who are you?"
Margaret could only choke and try to whisper "Help". The old woman laughed and repeated her question. Margaret found that this time she could talk, she replied that she was a famous actress and that her name was Margaret Collins.
The goddess laughed, called Margaret a liar, and repeated her question.
Margaret feeling the heart spasms returning, cried out in desperation, "I am Margarita Colon, a daughter of poor Yucatan farmers! "
The crone nodded, waved her arms and Margarita was saved. The old crone revealed herself to be the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue.
The goddess cradled Margaret's head to her bosom and said," That lie is finished now my precious flower,you have come home and you are now my warrior. You are Quetzalxochitl Yoatl, Precious Flower Warrior.

Re: WONDER WOMAN INTERNATIONAL: CENTRAL AMERICA My goal with this series was to break with the Euro/American-centric view of Wonder Woman. I have tried to ALWAYS be sensitive and respectful of the cultures I have portrayed.

Re: WONDER WOMAN INTERNATIONAL: Mexico/Nuahtl Yeah I know its actually Toltec but one could trace a line from the Olmec, Toltec, Maya to the Aztec, as many of the traditions gods and architectural styles share similarities. Without a doubt one influenced the other as each empire rose and fell. I could have named her WW: INT Mexico but I wanted her to be representative of the whole Olmec to Aztec cultural evolution, rather than just one.
Your corrections are noted and appreciated, and yes Central America is indeed incorrect, unless you count that Maya and the -ec cultures extended into Central America.

 Re: WONDER WOMAN INTERNATIONAL: CENTRAL AMERICA I like your work, but the picture is "The Temple of the Morning Star" on Tula, Hidalgo; It's a ruin of TOLTEC civilization. Chichen-Itz?, Uxmal and Mayap?n are ruins of MAYAN civilization on Yucatan. Yucatan isn't on Central America. By the way, the model is excellent. Sorry! I'm mexican and speak spanish.
Me gustan tus trabajos y el concepto que manejas sobre la Wonder Woman Internacional, pero el fondo te fall? esta vez; tomaste una foto del "Templo de la Estrella de la Ma?ana" donde aparecen las columnas conocidas como los "Atlantes" en la ciudad de Tula, Hidalgo, al norte de la Ciudad de M?xico y el problema es que es una ruina de la cultura Tolteca. La regi?n de Yucat?n es reconocida por ser parte de la zona donde se desarroll? la cultura Maya y entre las ruinas arqueol?gicas m?s importantes est?n Chichen-Itz?, Uxmal y Mayap?n. Geogr?ficamente M?xico, la Pen?nsula de Yucat?n y el Estado de Yucat?n no est?n en Am?rica Central. A prop?sito la modelo es excelente.
