Arms of the Day

IFBB pro Ljuba Pantović, quite apart from the ‘female muscle militia’ costume, is a fighter. She was regional kickboxing champion in her native Serbia in the mid 1990s. I design my body and my power is visible, she says. Check her website for more.

Trapalicious Thursday

Julie Bourassa is, by all accounts, a very very lovely person. Perhaps her day job has something to do with this. She teaches children with special needs, and it seems to me that being a lovely person and doing that job seem to go hand in hand. I’ve met more than a few special needs teachers in my life – I’m in the education business – and without exception all of them (and they were all women, incidentally) clearly loved what they did and also had what I can only describe as an ‘angelic’ aura about them. They sort of radiated feelings of contentment and goodness.

You would think, then, that Julie deserved better than this: Whether at the gym, grocery, stores or other public places, people often look down on me, especially in summer when I wear tank tops or short sleeves. When my back is turned, I often hear whispers regarding my physical appearance.

Unfortunately, I imagine this is not an untypical experience for a female bodybuilder, particularly one as spectacularly built as Julie (and let’s face it, there aren’t many of those). Her physical strength, the physical strength she shares with her sisters of iron, is obvious to all. She wears it like a suit of armour. But less obvious is her emotional strength, her strength of character, again, a strength she shares with all other muscular women who are looked upon as freaks by the majority, but who nevertheless continue to wear their beautiful bodies with pride.

I used to be disturbed by such inappropriate comments. Now I have learned to ignore them and become indifferent to comments that can be hurtful. I learned to close my eyes and convince myself that I practise bodybuilding for me and other people’s opinions with regard to my choices should not affect my passion for this sport.

There is the support of family and friends to fall back on as well. And according to Julie, this is crucial. My mother used to ask why I wanted to suffer so much for this discipline. When she realized it was a passion and these little sacrifices helped me to grow and develop, she supported me. My friends are big fans. They help me get through difficult times and to refocus on diet and preparation. I am very fortunate to have people who support me and I can count on in difficult times. There is also the support of the exclusive sisterhood. And then there are the fans. [Thank you] to all my fans for their unconditional support and motivation. Helping me to move forward and to improve my physical condition year after year as a bodybuilder.

As a bodybuilder.

It’s comforting to hear that at a time when it seems barely a week goes by without hearing that yet another top female bodybuilder has decided to downsize and compete in the physique division. Comforting to know Julie (and it this point I am crossing my fingers, rubbing my lucky coin and knocking on wood) won’t be joining them. Comforting to know, as Julie hits another serene most muscular and her traps pop up to her ears, that there are women out there who will be staying big.

Julie says that bodybuilding can be compared to shaping a piece of coal into a proper diamond. I like the analogy. Diamonds are hard and beautiful, adjectives that describe female bodybuilders well. And diamonds are, as it seems proper female bodybuilders are increasingly becoming, rare. But on top of that, in the UK, a ‘diamond’ is also a term used to refer to a ‘rare’ person. The best and most valuable kind of person.

A person like Julie, perhaps.

Glamour of the Day

Today, four magnificent women and three solutions to the problem of showing off the results of their hard work while complying with public decency laws…

Holly Chambliss (above left) wears material you can actually see through, while the muscles of Julie Bourassa (above right) and Betty Viana (below left) seem to emerge through their dresses – let’s call it the ‘one-size-too-small approach’. Finally, Lisa Auckland (below right) takes the option of simply wearing very very little.

You Can’t Trust A Man Called Piers

imagebam.com

News that Piers ‘Morgan’ Moron (© Private Eye) thinks Madonna’s arms are too muscular is resolutely refusing to go away. Once a self-publicist, always a self-publicist, and re-locating to the USA (my condolences) hasn’t affected Piers’ ability to generate column inches for himself. Seeing as David Furnish had already put the boot in on Her Madgesty after the Golden Globes, Piers, couldn’t resist kicking a woman when she’s down, and getting himself all over the media just before a new series of his US talk show begins. Yawn.

Wait! I hear you cry. Aren’t you just adding to those column inches? Don’t do it! Walk away!

I hear you, but here in the UK we haven’t forgotten exactly why it is that Mr ‘Morgan’ Moron has gone stateside. The condensed version is that when he was the editor of the UK daily newspaper The Mirror, it was, according to one of the senior journalists who worked for him, ‘very unlikely’ that he did not know that phone hacking was used by representatives of his newspaper, and Piers said as much to the recent enquiry into the phone hacking scandal: Mr Morgan admitted he had listened to a tape recording of a voicemail message left by Sir Paul on his then wife’s mobile phone was how it was reported by The Daily Mail. So, someone played him a tape recording of a message left on Heather Mill’s voicemail, but he didn’t know that people who worked for his newspaper were hacking phones. Yeah, right. And this from the man who resigned because his paper had printed fake pictures of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, and I think you can see why Piers thought a trip West would be a good move.

You can’t trust what comes out of Piers. In some instances, the opposite of what he says is, in fact, the truth. So let’s assume that Piers wasn’t breaking the habit of a lifetime and that what he said about Madonna and her arms isn’t really what he thinks at all. He’s given us no reason to believe him before, why should we do it now?

And if Piers was lying, how does he really feel about Madonna, and her ‘caveman’ arms? The only reasonable conclusion is he thinks they’re hot. He doesn’t want her on his show because he knows he won’t be able to control himself. Minutes into the interview the urge to jump over his desk, grab Madge’s bicep and start slavering all over it will be too much. And then he’ll be finished in America too.

Since the Piers/Madonna story broke, Female Muscle Slave has been tirelessly hacking Mr ‘Morgan’ Moron’s phone and personal computer, and we can reveal, exclusively, that Piers is one of us. A female muscle addict. Some of the evidence is presented below. All the pictures were recovered from the ‘Morgan’ Moron phone or PC.

Heather Foster left a voicemail on Piers’ phone soon after the TV interview threatening to come over and punch him into next week if he mentioned any other woman’s arms again. Lisa Giesbrecht left a similarly angry message, promising Piers that he had licked cream off her biceps for the last time, while Betty Viana was so angry she had to resort to her native Spanish to express herself fully. The Female Muscle Slave translation team are still working on the English transcription of the message. So far, they have Now listen you hairless boy who licks fuck sticks… We imagine much of the rest of the message will be unprintable.

This picture of Kim Perez was recovered by our hacking team from a folder named ‘You’re So Vein’. Get it? His gift for language is stunning, isn’t it? Also in the folder was a document in which Piers laid out what he’d like to do to poor Kim’s vascular pythons. Needless to say, it wasn’t ‘ban them from television’.

imagebam.com
This stunning pic of Aleesha Young was Piers’ most recent screensaver. No, really.

Skadi Frei actually sent this picture of herself to Piers after she heard his comments on a Swiss news channel. These are big arms you silly little man, her e-mail read. Now I dare you to come to my house in the Alps and call me a caveman to my face. Julie Bourassa was also in touch soon after the interview. I could crush your head like a grape, she said on his voicemail. And if you bag muscular women publicly again, I just might. Marja Lehtonen also called to say that Thursday at 2pm is fine. Piers hasn’t been seen since he boarded a flight from New York to Helsinki on Wednesday night.

imagebam.com
A hacked e-mail exchange with Sarah Hayes further reveals Piers’ female muscle lovin’ tendencies. Mr ‘Morgan’ Moron begs Sarah for a muscle worship session, and when Sarah explains she doesn’t do sessions, Not for anyone, and especially not for you, there follows much undignified pleading from Piers.

imagebam.com
Sarah finally threatens to forward the entire exchange to his wife in order to get him off her case, to which Piers replies, Do it! I’m leaving her for Fabiola Boulanger anyway! Now, a terrible liar and a bit of a pest he may be, but at least he’s got good taste (when it comes to muscle women anyway).

And finally, this image of the magnificent Brigita Brezovac looking particularly magnificent was one of the ones that came up when the hacking team searched his phone for ‘Most Recent Documents’. In fact, if our time calculations are correct, he must have banged one out to Brigita just after his interview finished, rushing to the studio toilet as soon as his mic was off. No, that’s unfair that last bit. That’s just something I made up. He probably waited until he got in the lift to do that. Or the limo. Or both.

Enjoy! And remember, when Piers says he’s repulsed by women with muscular arms, what he means is he loves them.

He probably reads this blog.

More strong, athletic, flexible muscle babes to fire up the imagination.

Now, any girl with a pole in her living room is probably worth trying to get to know.

I reckon a little higher and that’ll be just about head height for me.

Her flatmate only comes out of her room when she’s practising her pole moves.

OK, so she’s cheating with the wall there, but hell, I’ve tried this move and unless I’ve had a wall to help me, it’s not ended well. And my abs didn’t look nearly as good as these while I was doing it. So just imagine the possibilities and give her a break.

imagebam.com
Now that’s how you do it! No wall, just strength and balance. Very sexy.

Like a woman with a pole in her living room, it’s also worth getting to know a woman who can bend herself into this position. And if you aren’t sure why that is, look at the picture and think about it. And if she happens to be a gorgeous Asian fitness competitor, well, that’s the jackpot!

Julie Bourassa‘s car wash is one of the most successful local businesses of recent times. If you’re in Montreal and fancy giving your car the extra special buff treatment, I recommend it.

This is Katka Kyptova, and a couple of moments’ later three of the men behind the VW ad got hard-ons that ripped through the panel in front of them. Another of the men fainted. When interviewed about the incident, Katka seemed unfazed. It happens all the time, she said. Last week I made a whole pub full of men spontaneously ejaculate and/or faint when I got up on the bar and did the splits.

The magnificent Fabiola Boulanger showing off on stage at the recent Canadian Championships. Easy to see why she won. This move brought the crowd to its feet, and no doubt caused a fair bit of upstanding for male members of the crowd too.

Deceptive though the angle may be, she’s still pretty bloody far off the ground. And it all looks rather effortless. Nice.
