I agree with jdm's comment on the DA page; it's the best thing yet seen on DA!

I know I'm repeating what other people have already written, but I've got to say it – she's so cute!

The rest of the Zodiac is being handled by by other artists- it should be up at http://femalemuscle.deviantart.com/ within the month.  It's a fun subject, but I don't think I have time for it just now, sorry!

Pity, I think your style suits the subject.

Well, everyboy has been so polite and respectgul, but I will say it (or write it actually)
Man, she's got a tight @$$

It did strike me, but I didn't elect to say it.  There's certainly not much fat there.

I'm seeing everything OK.

So am I now – Mimi, that's fantastic! 😮 8)

Gotta remember Men that in contest shape most ladies implants have this look as there is nearly no bodyfat from their own breast tissue….however in the offseason they would have a much fuller, more natural look.

My point excatly.

Sorry for the Geocities hiccup!

Mmmmm, thanks Mimi!  The top one I recognise, (there's a clip of her emerging from the pool on Youtube) but the bottom one is new to me. 😮

Er, I think you might need to get some help from one of the knowledgable mods, Mimi, 'cos all I'm seeing is the dreaded red "X".

[cpbell0033944]

Her chest really is a wonder.

In case you missed it (I did), the Jan Tana was held June 23. You can find them with photos here:

Sarah Dunlap was the overall winner. Congrats to her, but I'm personally disappointed. Many women were bigger and more defined but placed far lower. Marja Lehtonen, who somehow is a lightweight (!) finished 3rd to Sarah. Maryse Manios and Jana Linke-Sippl, two massive women, finished behind Stephanie Kessler. It seems clear that the judges were sending a message. Bodybuilding should not be about… well… building a body. They'd rather see an Anja Langer than a Juliette Bergmann. This doesn't bode well for other favorites on Amaz0ns like Wendy McMaster. They want bodybuilders to look like the figure competitors, so why bother separating them? SHEEEEESH!!!!

Plus I didn't know the event was being held near NYC. Didn't anyone publicize this?

It's not just size and definition – symmetry, conditioning and proportion have been undervalued in recent years, so perhaps this is just redressing the balance.  I can't really see how Sarah Dunlap is so small; she never was little, and, judging from the photo I saw of her in another thread from this contest, she looked to have packed-on a lot of mass.  I can't see how picking her instead of Linke-Sippl is them wanting FBBs to look like figure competititors, either – there's a lot of difference between Sarah D and most figure women.

Oh, and I'd prefer Anja Langer to Juliette Bergmann any day of the week, and that's meaning no disrespect to Ms Bergmann – I usually prefer flowing, graceful lines to huge mass anyway.
