This may be old news to some but it’s new to me! The last time I saw Melanie Vallejo (Madison from Power Rangers Mystic Force) was at the first Power Morphicon in 2007 and she was seeing Firass Dirani (Nick from Power Rangers Mystic Force) at the time. How things have changed!
She’s now married to Matthew Kingston and have been since May 2011. Congrats!

Blast from the Power Past – Jason David Frank Morphs Back Into Action!
We have a saying over here at No Pink Spandex: Stay away from the spandex. It doesn’t breathe. Don’t ask me how I came up with it, but it just seemed apt for what we usually cover on the podcast and on this site. We talk about the current show but we also keep up with what the Power Ranger alums are doing. 9 times out of 10, they’re not in spandex. They’re wearing regular clothes doing regular things. Not Jason David Frank. This man is not afraid of the spandex. This man wears the spandex like a badge of honor, thrusting his colorful shapes at you. This man has balls.

Let’s put this in context. This past weekend, Jason had a boot camp of the Ranger persuasion. Eight adults paid a ton of dough to train with him and they had a damn good time. One of them brought their Green Ranger cosplay suit along. The rest is history. According to Jason, it’s been 8 years since he’s worn any Power Ranger suit. Folks at home who are good with math will calculate that back to the Dino Thunder days.
And of course, you have to round things off with some putty-esque butt-kicking…only with your boot camp students!
