Now those are intense eyes!  Pity we don't get to see her muscles.

I can take spots – I'm watching her progress for the things I can't take.

Gorgeous – huge and cute, and perfect conditioning for my taste.  Anyone know if she has a site or a page on Andy's?

Indeed: all the blah-blah about the sport "going too far" "too extreme", "steroid abuse" etc. is coming from a very narrow mind…The women aren't that bigger than years ago at all…

They are better…They are more ripped…

If you don't like it, too bad, but this is a sport not something to get your seuxal fix at…

I am not attracted to women in contest shape that much…But for the sport I love to look at the competitions…

The sport isn't going down at all..

It's now divided in figure, BB, fitness, and similar stuff like "physique" "body", etc…

The BB class is for the very few that have the talent & dedication to go for this class…It's an extreme sport and it will always be…

WIth the internet, the influence of magazines has decreased to a low…That's good…They can't hurt FBB that much; only the competitive side…

I used to know all names of FBBs that were in magazines…

Now with the internet there are soooooo many FBBs, that I discover new girls every day, even when they have had sites for years already…

So the magazines don't show FBB anymore?…I would never have noticed, if it were not mentioned here…I haven't bought a BB magazine for years…

The intedrnet is here and the fans have huge influence there; not some anti-FBB-magazine-a$$holes!…

We got the power!…What we like and appreciate, is what we buy and this way we can support the women that we like to the fullest…

Much better situation…

Bye bye magazines, hello FBBs & fans themselves…

I do worry about people not getting press access to events…This further proofs the absurd ways of the BB organizations…I bet some day a succesful FBB organization will be set up…The internet has grown strong enough to make such a thing possible now..

You've unknowingly proved my point, Xander – you're a hardcore fan of bodybuilding as a sport.  As you say, you don't look at the women on stage sexually, you see them as sportswomen.  The point is that FBBing cannot rely on people like you because you're too rare!  To survive, it must tap into the "wow, she's hot!" market, even if you don't like that fact.  I agree that the competitors now aren't necessarily bigger than before, but if you compare Iris Kyle at the Ms O this year to Shelley Beattie in th video I linked, you'll see the difference; Shelley was ripped, Iris is dry and shredded.  Her cheeks look pinched and, quite frankly she looks like she's been in a concentration camp.  Yes, it's the perfect pure BBing state, because all you can see are muscles and veins, but it's very unattractive.  Shelley, by contrast, looks much better.  The point is that steroid use has increased to the point where most Pros show facially the signs of overuse and many have damaged voices too.  This has happened not because of the need for greater size as for the requirement for the women o pose at bodyfat %ages way lower than their bodies can really cope with.  I fear it may take an FBBer collapsing or even dying on stage to force the IFBB into making common sense adjustments.  Women aren't slightly smaller men as their biochemistry is different to men's.

Wow that was the most inarticulate post ever — sorry about that. My point was pretty much twofold:

1. New pics of the incredible Sarah Hayes at Muscle Angels.com

2. Sarah Hayes is the hottest star in female bodybuilding today. By a MILE.

Not inarticulate at all, actually. 😉
