No he's just stating the fact, women's body building is not as lucrative as men's bodybuilding.  As much as some women may love building their muscular physiques, not being paid as well as their male counterparts is very discouraging.

Old story, most so now then in the past, too.  Back then they actually had female bodybuilder product spokes-mouths, not just male ones, like they do today.

IMHO, most of those with any long term staying power (i.e. Annie Rivieccio) can "afford" to do so because they are financially secured from other sources, doing it because of the what challenge of competing provides to them at some other level.

The rest, as a short term prospect for gaining some name recognition before they move on to something else, such a personal trainer, as a gym owner or a nutritionist.

A few, actually do it because they actually find it enjoyable, and aren't looking to make any money off it – and when it loses its fun-factor, they drop out.

This last, I'm given to understand, by someone reputedly who personally knew her, was the case with Denise Hoshor.  She only competed for the fun of it, and not for any idea of making money from bodybuilding.

She probably had the right idea.

Pastory was a bodybuilder as early as her late teens, correct?

Don't know for certain on that, but I would assume that would have to be the case.

The only bio info I have on her comes from two differing issues of WPP and WPW, she was 20 (in 1990) coming from Barcelona when she competed @ the WABBA '90 European Championships and caught the eye of Steve Wennerstrom and John Nafploitis for Women's Physique Publications Magazine.

Weighing in at 122 pounds, she was on the short side, standing only 4 feet 11 3/4 inches tall in bare feet.

She competed again a year later @ European Championships – WABBA '91, and World Championships – WABBA '91.  After that she dropped out of sight.

With historical knowledge like that, who needs Steve Wennerstrom?! ;D 😉  Reminds me of a gentleman who will almost certainly be unknown to every other member here – Doug Nye (strangely, he's known as DCN, as opposed to our own DCM).

C'mon, guys and girls – without the use of any internet search engine, I challenge you to correctly tell me who Mr Nye is… ;D 😉 I'll be dumbstruck if anyone can. 8)

Anyway; back OT; gorgeous lady and a loss to the sport.
