While looking for info on Leeann Tweeden for my earlier post, I found and enjoyed a post at (apparently defunct) blog Photon Torpedoes, concerning the women of Bodyshaping.
The blogger wrote a series of posts called "Giant Sized Babes", basically concerning muscular or physically imposing women of unusual attractiveness.
The one that sticks out the most concerns Bodyshaping, the ESPN fitness show so popular in the 80s and 90s.
(Also check out the Kiana Tom videos at right.)
[Giant-Sized Babes #2: When Fitness Babes Ruled the Morning!]
Femflex has a bunch of videos, one of them free (!), of brawny babe Colleen Brock.
The free video is nice, but one of the subscriber-only videos shows Brock dancing her rather substantial biceps, up and down, up and down.
My heart pounded in sweet synchronicity with her bulging peaks.

The Emerald Cup is coming up on April 20th & 21st in Bellevue, Washington.
If you're in the area, you might want to plan on attending because it often marks the debut of striking female physique athletes.
Also, Lilia Stepanova is scheduled to perform.

I remember back in the day when they (ESPN2 I believe) would re-run Bodyshaping during happy hour. Tell me that wasn't on purpose.

I used to drive home during my lunch hour around 1995, so that I could watch Bodyshaping on TV. I loooooved it.

...didn't we have Kiana Tom in the UK? And how can any American man be against female muscle when he lived in a country that televised her working-out?!

Didn't you people have like four TV channels in the whole country back then?

Yep, only four. :lol:
And one of those, (BBC 2) which regarded itself as being cultured and sophisticated would never have shown Ms Tom anyway. :(
There was Sky (satellite) by the late '80s, so I suppose they might have shown it, but I wouldn't have known about that, 'cause we didn't have it, and anyway, I'd only have become old enough to watch that sort of thing until the mid-to-late '90s.
I'd like to go back to that time as I am now, though, to see if they did show it. :D 8) :twisted:

Actually, I had my picture taken with Kiana Tom a few years back when Bodyshaping was still in it's early stages. She was hot!!
