Superbuff campaign
Interesting Sites
Virgin Mobile has launched a UK ad campaign featuring a hypermuscular granny, called "Superbuff".  The campaign is being run by London marketing firm DMC, with the spots and web site produced by interactive media shop 12foot6.

Amusingly, the "viral" marketing site appears to be down, or at least not listed in DNS.  I suspected initially that 12foot6 had set the server to refuse net connections from North America, perhaps having been too successful at meme-spreading for its own good.  So I pointed my Mac at a public UK proxy server (to make it appear as if I were in the UK), but the site still wouldn't load.  Whois.sc confirms that it's inactive.  (There are  Quicktime and WMV file links at the DMC site.)

So in a couple days check Superbuff.com [dead link], maybe by then it will be back up.  In the meantime, they'd better hope Richard Branson doesn't find out about this.  I'm told he eats people who disappoint him.

Kim Chambers
Amaz0ns Feature
Many of you have probably noticed that I've added Kim Chambers' KimFlex site to the banner rotation.  It's an explicitly adult site - NSFW.

Chambers is well known for her adult films work, including Busty Pom Pom Girls (2000) and Tit Happens (2004).  She's been working out heavier the last few years and started competing in figure contests in 2002.  KimFlex features a number of muscular models in addition to Chambers.
 
Leonard Kirk blog
Amaz0ns Feature
Leonard Kirk is a comic artist who has often drawn powerful female characters.  He's known for his realistic figure depictions, and I think his realistic cloth work is also standout.  (When he draws clothes, they look like clothes.)

I first became aware of him in 1997 when he drew Ultra Girl, a three-issue Marvel miniseries about a young woman whose modeling career aspirations are interrupted when she suddenly develops super powers (and muscles).  Kirk drew Supergirl after that, and then JSA, with lots of smaller projects in between.  I think he's currently drawing Aquaman. 

He's also blogging, as of the end of September.  The blog is hosted at Comic Bloc, which also hosts a Leonard Kirk forum.

 
Action Comics #60, May 1943
Comics
To my knowledge "Lois Lane - Superwoman!" was the first of many times that Superman's Girlfriend® gained his powers.  In the story Lois actually only acquires the powers in a dream after suffering a bump on the head, so it's what they call "an imaginary story".  (Aren't they all?)  But it's fun, anyway, and the artists render her with a bit more robust a physique than normal. 

I'm not sure if this issue is available in any published reprints.
