Hannie Van Aken in WPW
Tuesday, 22 April 2008

I've just realized that the seminal Hannie Van Aken video I saw years ago is WPW-85, which was made available on DVD from Women's Physique World earlier this year. Van Aken was the lush, sexy, brawny blonde bombshell of 1980s female bodybuilding. While many of the more popular female bodybuilders of the day were ectomorphs (Rachel McLish) or slender mesomorphs (Cory Everson), Van Aken had bombshell proportions before she ever picked up a weight, and pumping iron just made her curves more extreme.

In her book Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World, Kristin Kaye describes Hannie Van Aken as

...the Biker Chic from Holland who looked like the most bodacious female action hero ever conceived of by man, with her butt-long blond hair, huge blue eyes, and abundant bust...

Her exaggerated femininity was a big part of the lure. Similarly to Meral Ertunc, another very sexy wayback bodybuilder, Van Aken's curves and very girlish looks somehow amplified the appearance of her muscularity. I wonder what she's doing these days?

Why do I get the feeling you were a fan, Lingster? (LOL).

In the 80s I had such a crush on her. In addition to her physique, she had such a gorgeous smile.
