But everybody’s favorite star from the show, Twiggy Tallant, has been visibly missing since the end of the second season. If you want to know more about her and what she’s been up to, then here are some details from Twiggy Tallant’s bio.
She Recently Celebrated Her 30th Birthday
According to her Instagram post, Tallant recently turned 30. One known fact is that she was a stripper in her 20s and still calls herself “The Nerdy Stripper,” even though she has retired from the industry.
She battled through hardships, lived life to the fullest, and has achieved a lot at her young age.

Tallant also worked in Canada as a model. She was even hired to work as a booth professional at a car show. In fact, that’s when she saw her first rat rod and fell completely in love with them.
Tallant wanted to learn everything there was to know about rat rods. So, to further pursue her interest, she took an automotive technology course at the recommendation of her friend, Stony Smith, a renowned Ontario customizer.
She was the only woman in her class and faced constant put-downs from students and her instructors. But Tallant persevered and decided to take a two-year program at a different school, which she completed in 2014.
Tallant then got the opportunity to work as an apprentice at Steve Darnell’s Las Vegas shop, Welder Up. This meant that she also earned herself a role on his show, Vegas Rat Rods, and she’s been a part of it since the first episode.
Vegas Rat Rods is a reality TV show that premiered on April 17, 2014 on the Discovery Channel, and season 4 will start on October 1, 2018.
The show is all about, “Steve Darnell and his team of rat rod specialists are master automotive fabricators. They work out of a sprawling garage, Welder Up, re-building one-of-a-kind Mad Max-style ‘rat rod’ cars out of hidden treasure for quirky customers.”

Tallant is the only woman on the show, but her skills at customizing the cars are equally impressive to any man’s. She was a regular on the show for two seasons before she returned to Canada. She continued her passion for automobiles through welding and metal fabrication.
According to reports, Tallant is currently studying at George Brown College to get her Welding Fundamentals Certificate. She also plans to launch her initiative, “Hair Up, Hustle Hard,” a community for women in the trades and girls who want to pursue a career within them.
