[BIG BOSS !!]

Thank you Shawn and Lenda for the play by play. I'm sure All the ladies are looking fabulous but I must say the photos are not doing justice to these ladies in any of the categories ( figure, fitness, Fbb ) sorry but a lot of the pics are out of focus and blurry but I sure MD will fix that problem soon enough.

Soo , I take it that Beni has some interest in this event.



lol.

GO HEATHER.... UNBELIEVABLE

[Noel Fuller]

Shawn,

You think Heather can beat Iris?

Nope

My write-up will be on the main page in a minute -

Shawn,

You think Heather can beat Iris?

If they take femininity into account, yes.

Heather still has balance between muscle and still looking feminine in MY opinion. I am incredibly impressed with Iris' condition but to ME that isn't feminine.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Iris may well win but my vote is for Heather - and not because I know her.

Should femininity be taken into consideration when judging though? Or even facial beauty?

Funny you said that. I was trying to figure out how to word it and you beat me to it. Maybe I'm a bit biased after meeting Dylan and knowing how cool he is but lets wait and see what happens.

On a side note....how fucking cool would it be to have both Mr and Ms. Olympia coming from the same gym?

bigmikecox: Femininity should be considered, but it often isn't...

In our judging manual, where I'm from, it says to remember that one is judging a women's event, and that physiques should not resemble that of men in terms of development or muscularity.

If this were the case, perhaps the sport would grow again to how popular it was in the 1980's.

I think it was Shawn Ray who once said, "When I think of Ms. Olympia, I think of...Lenda Murray."

Does anybody else get a sense that Lenda Murray doesn't like Iris Kyle too much?? She keeps on condemning her for being too muscular..

Femininity? Ummm... Not to sound like a dick but it is women's bodybuilding so I am pretty sure it is in the judging criteria. That is also why they pose differently like keeping their hands open during double bi poses and they don't have a most muscular pose.

Facial beauty? I think so. If someone came out there with fucked up hair and no make up, no nails, etc., that would be a part of presentation that should count, to me.

For the overall package I just think that everything should count when it comes to femininity. Not everyone will agree and I respect that.

It would be even cooler than that to have 3 of them from our gym. Heather Mae French trains at Armbrust, too. She is easily in the top 3 and could go even higher or win the Figure O.

I agree but I think of Cory Everson. No disrespect to Lenda but it was Cory when I was just starting out.

I sounded shitty in my post to bigmikecox, I think and I didn't mean to. I just think that to me it is obvious that it should count and I don't think it always does, either.
