    Hello all,
    I thought it was about time I took the plunge and introduced myself (although I'm dreadful with introductions, both in real life and on the Internet).  I joined the other week, but have been visiting the site for a couple of months.  My name's Chris, and I'm a twenty-something British guy who is a wheelchair user.  I didn't mention that for the sympathy vote; it's just that its a lot easier to explain now rather than at a later date.  I have a condition (which I was born with) called Osteogenesis imperfecta, which causes fragile bones, short stature and means that I am a wheelchair user.  Rather than bore you all with a long-winded explaination of the condition, I'd direct anyone who's interested to the page of the OIF (Osteogenesis imperfecta Foundation).  Oddly enough, though I'm a Brit, the OIF is a US organisation- I direct people there because it's a much better website than the British one. 
    I only got into female muscle very recently; although I always tended to admire female altheticism, my thoughts on the subject didn't crystallise until I saw photos of Jessica Biel working-out, and I found that they almost literally took my breath away.

    Anyway, there was something else I wanted to metion.  I know I'm using the wrong board, but I am new here, so I hope I'll be forgiven.  Being a Jess B admirer, I was searching an hour or so ago for news on her, when I came across this:

    Forgetting the hideous dress, I'm sure you all are thinking along the same lines as me (and, bizarrely enough, the idiotic site owner); namely:  what on earth has happened to her glorious muscles?  :'( Please, PLEASE say she isn't going skinny.  I know that I have more recently discovered (and drooled-over photos of) the likes of Trina Gillis, Johanna Dejager, Roxie Rain, and my absolute favourite, the Amazon Princess herself, Cindy Phillips, but Jess was my first muscle-woman crush (at the age of 26 – how ridiculous that I had my first teenage crush at such an advanced age), and the thought of her letting that glorious, lioness-like physique wilt is just appallng to me.  I'd be really interested to hear the thoughts of those much more experienced at assessing female muscle than me if they look at these photos.  Is it (please!) just the awful dress, the lighting, anything other than what I (and the oleagenous website owner) think it is!?

    Hi Cpbell/Chris!  Welcome to the board, fellow Brit (there's more of us around than you might think!)

    I know from comments other people left on the board that a lot of other people found Jessica Biel with muscles extremely hot.  I can't find the pic/article you mention through the link you've given us, but it certainly sounds sad news if it's true.

    However, I do seem to remember DJTalyn did an excellent morph of her with ample muscles some time ago:

    And Rimmer8 did one a while back too.  (where are you Rimmer8?  Come back to the board and stop being a smeeegheeed!  We miss you!)

    I hope this is some small compensation for her currently diminshed muscularity…

    Hi Jack, sorry about the cock-up on the linking front (have you seen old episodes of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin? If you have, you'll  "get" what I mean).  If you go into the dreadful site that is egotistic.com, you'll be sure to find the photos.  It's just that the thought of her ending-up with what Lingster calls "actorexia" fills me with depression – well done, shadowy Hollywood Svengalis, you might have claimed another victim.
    Strangely enough, I wasn't expecting any replies just yet, 'cos I didn't consider the possibility of a fellow Brit being the first to reply.  Yes, I have already seen the muscle morphs of Jess in Blade 3 – I've not seen the film, although I understand that it was a pile of steaming **%&.  I have to admit that the one you show in your reply was my favourite – to me she looks so tough and sexy.  I know it's futile, because, like any mental illness, anorexia etc. can't be fought by logic and reason, but I wish that these images of strong, healthy, fit young women were presented to girls as being safer, healthier and much more empowering than the likes of Mrs. Beckham (yuck).
    I'd still be interested to hear your views on Jess if you can find the photos.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Thanks Fett.  By the way, has anyone been able to find the photos I was referring to?

    Welcome to the forums CP, good to have your presence among us – may it lead to many more postings here on Amazons!  ;D

    . . . and my absolute favourite, the Amazon Princess herself, Cindy Phillips, . . .

    Ah, my goal of popularizing the term Amazon Princess for Cindy Phillips starting to take hold out there, excellent . . .  8)

    Thanks everybody for your kind welcome.  I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to be as regular in terms of posting as some of the more illustrious members here, but I'll certainly offer a viewpoint now and again.  Could anybody let me know where I should post my fears for the continued muscle goddess status of Jess B, please?  I'd seriously like to get the opinions of some of the more experienced people on here as to whether she has lost muscle in the latest set of photos.  I'll try and repost the link here (let's hope it works this time!)

    I didn't know whether I needed to use a hyperlink or an FTP link, so I've tried both.  Hopefully, one or the other might work.

    Bugger, still doesn't work.  I think I need a lesson in how to do this linking thing.  Still, if you go into blogger.com and search for "biel tank", you should find it.  The site owner, an idiot called Phil, is overjoyed that Jess no longer looks, as he sees it, like a "muscle man" and a "tank".  He even goes as far as to call her new look "dainty"  ::) >:( ???  I fear he's a hopeless case – leave him in blissfull ignorance.
