09:15 RiOT Queen NINEVEH @nineveh-aka-nini.bsky.social Edit Profile (Photo of the promo poster, or one of them, on the back door of the theater. This is a full color shot, it includes the title, you can see the door lock, and the weathered quality of the paint; it does have a nice feel of the entire photo… Our faces are not really legible, but I do like it for how it captures the entire setting.

Photo of the promo poster, or one of them, on the back door of the theater. This is sepia toned .

Photo of the promo poster, or one of them, on the back door of the theater. This one’s a little more close-up, but harder to tell what we are looking at aside from a printed photo of three people. But I might choose this one. Just for the detail.

Once I get the cast photo taken at the end of opening (last) night, I will probably replace it… But meanwhile, do u like one of these better than the others? #Acting #Actor #Actress #Portland #PDX #TransWoman #TransActress #Feeder #RIOTQUEENS

🎭Exhausted, midnight, back from rehearsal. Tonight was stage combat work . Riot scenes, jumping on benches, tables, leading chants, causing trouble, jumping onna cops back, hitting him onna head, kicking another! Woo! Good times. #Acting#Actor #Actress #RIOTQUEENS #TransActress #Transgender #History

NINEVEH shrugging. She definitely feels bashful. A little ashamed, but not any serious shame because she is ready where it counts. She spent time last night preparing and feels overall confident in her lines. She just had no time for makeup or fancy dress today.

🎭For whatever reason, I am the least prepared this morning on probably the second-most important day of rehearsal… 🤪 at least I got good sleep. Send me good energy! TODAY: STUMBLE THROUGH #Acting #Actor #Actress #TransWoman #RIOTQUEENS #TransActress #Trans #Portland #PortlandOregon

NINEVEH shows off her posture n balance control by balancing her full coffee mug on top of her head for the photo

NINEVEH, laughing in her red heart shaped sunglasses which referenced her broken heart pendant, also red, and highlight her red bra and red glove and very red lipstick

None of a looking somewhat pensive or into the distance at the very least, threw her somewhat reflective, red heart shaped glasses

Never again looking through her glasses, but this is a wider shot

Nineveh La Luz Herrera 1m • wake up, make espresso, smile at the work I did in the kitchen ®l text message our stage manager -what time do I need to be there today?-

1930 hours is the confirmation. That shouldn’t prove difficult! One would hope.

It’s important I clarify n aim my mental focus now. There are distractions that hover. I cannot afford to slip.

NINEVEH in her Boho/70s sort of style emulating the look of the era. Not official costume yet.

Been a bit since I posted one of these! A morning bsky coffee ritual photo those who have been here since early days of transition remember! A dear friend, trans woman, reminded me this morning n that’s why I brought it back. ☺️🥰 This is a Dixie pose, not so much a NINEVEH pose. I will talk more on the distinctions in a different post probably later today. Enjoy yr coffee!

A photo I shot maybe a half an hour ago… This is my own personal celebration! My nipples were about the circumference of dimes in the masculine realm. My nipples were especially small as a human, but then again my whole body was. I always thought of my nipples as a little denim jeans rivets. — once I transition I kind of lamented that. I wanted larger nipples because it’s signifies womanhood. Because it’s sexy to me in a feminine way because I always liked brown areola that were large. Mine are not that large, not as large as the women, I’ve been lucky enough to be with in the past, the ones I’ve admired in that sense. But they have finally broken an important metric for me personally! They are as big/bigger than a quarter. (when it’s warm in the room!)

she had that ezzzz swagger
u find on women
w brown areola
bigger’n a quarter
boy u still can’t flip her
that’s yr whole disorder

🎭 CLOSING WORDS on the audition reel I sent in. It was very satisfying. Let's see if it goes anywhere. If it doesn't, I'll try again. That's how it works in the biz! Give it yr best, move forward. #Acting #Actress #TransWoman #TransActress #Audition #NoFilter

This is a logo from a certain show, but I don’t know what it is, I’m using it for the drama/theatrical representation. It’s the tragedy and comedy masks, but there’s three of them and they have read smaller emojis over their eyes there’s exes, hearts, and exclamation Points.

OK! Break from the cleaning frenzy, n shower. Then I’m taping an audition n sending it, no matter how long it takes. I’m doing it. I’m gonna get 1 of these roles—or at least a callback! My goal first?

To get a callback.

Let’s get it on! #Acting #Transgender #TransWoman #TransActress #Ninijourney

FRUSTRATED. The more I angle toward my acting dream, the more opportunities find me, but I’m still hesitating pulling the trigger. I’ve done this before w acting. I’m writing this for the world so I’m forced 2 move. Dare to fail at yr dream, Nineveh!!!

Move or shut up. #NiniJourney #TransActress
