When figure division came into the NPC & IFBB, I was not in favor of it. It wasn't "real" bodybuilding, it made contests longer, & it caused bodybuilders (both men & women) to have to cut down the length of their routines. We already had fitness division for the women, why did we need more?
I changed my mind in 2003 at the Jan Tana Pro Classic & Masters Olympia 2003 (which turned out to be the last of Jan Tana's pro shows, unfortunately). I happened to sit next to a pro figure competitor who had just gotten her card at a Chicago pro qualifier. Speaking with her, I realized that many new opportunities were opening up to her in the industry, & she already had sponsorship (that was why she was there, not to compete but to represent a company). That conversation made me realize the industry was changing for a reason, and I needed a new mindset about it.
To be honest, I went through the same thing with the bikini division. More people being rushed on and offstage in large classes, even shorter routines for bodybuilders (45 seconds in some shows; usually it's 60 seconds now), marathon weekend events that start at 8:00 a.m. & end by midnight (if you're lucky). Nevertheless, bikini has caught on & is part of the mix now. This thread pays tribute to notable pro bikini competitors.Last edited by hifrommike65; 08-26-2019 at 12:57 PM.

In Dave's profile of Marcia Goncalves, did he say "glute season" or "good season" (at 33 seconds in)?Last edited by hifrommike65; 09-02-2019 at 08:14 PM.

Camile Periat
I asked Evogen to give us a longer video of her. This is way too short.Last edited by hifrommike65; 09-09-2019 at 01:32 PM.
