The Producers of Thrills Spills and Chills had a chance to sit down with their spokesperson for the TSC infomercial, Natazah Aikens.  Natazah is a bright and beautiful young lady hailing from San Diego, California.  On location, in Venice Beach, California, the director “Boomer” was pleasantly surprised by her professionalism and hard work that made for a fun shoot for the whole crew. Since the infomercial has been airing nationally,  TSC Productions  have been inundated with phone calls and e-mails wondering just who is this beautiful person and what’s her story with action sport.

Question:            First off, your name sounds like Natasha, N-a-t-a-s-h-a but you  spell it with a Z instead of an s.  Does it have any cultural or family significance?
