Strong, intelligent, beautiful, thick, sensuous muscles – knockout! 😮 8)

That's one over energetic pooch.  She needs Cesar Millan – Dog Whisperer.  😉

Dramatic stuff – I love how he's captured the movement and energy.

Eewww, gory! 😮

Great work, though. 8)  I just wish you wouldn't keep killing your heroines, but that's just me. ::) ;D

And 50 years ago we were told we'd be living on the moon by now.

These documentaries always make it sound like the future is an easily predicted certainty. Societies change and certain things become less important; the Cold War ended and the space race died with it, and computers (whom futurists thought in the 60s wouldn't progress nearly as much as they have) flourished.

The 'gene', the myostatin gene, ALREADY has appeared in a mutated form in people: Flex Wheeler had it. And he took steroids, trained like every other olympian bodybuilder, and while he looked amazing and grew really quickly, he's not some mega-freak. We've already had people 8 or 9 feet tall, due to the condition of acromelagy. And these people do not last long and have terrible health problems.

It irks me because these 'science documentaries' seem to do fuck all research. They just go, "Hey, dude, conceivably, could you make the Hulk?" "It's POSSIBLE – in theory." "TONIGHT: THE HULK WILL BE REAL IN FIFTY YEARS!"

Instead of doing a proper job of discussing the issues arising, they go for a quick, sensationalist, hack approach of just picking the scariest and/or sexiest thing technology could do in theory, and say it is an inevitable certainty. Irks me.

As a scientist, it grates me too.  Mind you, they're talking about IGF-1, not mysostatin.  I'm confident that it will work eventually, but how long it'll take and how far it'll go is another matter.

Very selective sampling.

Oh, I agree, but would you say that there are no more buff women now than in 1965, for example?  I'd be the first to say that the pattern he shows is very limited, but we should surely be encouraging it rather than criticising him.

I think the point is mostly the cams stuff.

Ah, well I haven't seen it, so I don't know.  Fair point. 8)

Well, you're not alone – some of the Unrealmuscle members also made a similar analogy to Tina, too.  😉

Nice to hear that some of the experts are thinking along the same lines.  As you know Alex, I wasn't into femuscle when Tina was around, so I'm basing whaty I'm saying on what I've learned from sources including our own forum.  I was struck by her similarly thick appearance.  Some young FBBers seem to be naturally lean and sleek, some are promisng but their physiques don't stand out from the crowd.  This young lady, though, seems to have that mature look that Tina had. 🙂

Can you tell I'm rapidly falling in love? ;D ::)

Look, we're all going to find her attractive because of her curves.  Whether we consider her physique to be sufficiently developed to grab our attention is basically a matter of perspective.  It's an example of the saying

Concept governs percept

in other words, if you like 'em bigger, you'll find her too slim and underdeveloped.

[cpbell0033944]

The vast majority of the women who become involved in these physique competitions get nothing for their trouble, and many come out the other end decidedly worse for wear.  The choice to engage in such a narcissistic pursuit in the first place is itself fraught with danger, but the lure is very attractive.  Once that (bad) choice is made there's often an avalanche of easier and easier bad choices that follow, almost inevitably.

So yes, she seems to be making bad choices, and they're self-evidently bad from where we're sitting.  All I'm saying is that the initial choices that brought her down this path were not necessarily so obviously bad, and it can be difficult to recover from those.

Then again, separating from one's spouse is sadly commonplace, and so is dating.  From what I can see, the only difference isd that her dating is rather more public than most.

Thanks Vas for the details of this fine young maiden of muscle and thanks to those who didn't object to me comparing her to the (for me) semi-mythical Lockwood. 😉
