I would like to see something like a standard pose / stance w/ this division - if its supposed to be like FAME then say its supposed to be like FAME. I've seen some shows last year where whole Bikini category was subject to cat calls from the audience (w/ some of the girls shaking some serious booty) which IMO turned the stage that I had just several weight classes of men & women go thru orderly and standard physique presentations, into a hooker line up at a brothel. It really kinda turned my stomach. I think this stuff has the potential to be a great show, what to compare it to? Miss America? In terms of presentation ("poise"), than a wet t-shirt contest. Some more formal definition both to the competitors & the judges could go a long way.

eww i cant believe that even happened!?

when i think of poise i think walking gracefully with good posture and a nice smile to go along with it and stage presence as showing you are confident in yourself BUT who really knows

I found this pic of Tiffany Taylor. What do you all think of her physique? Good bad? Yea or Nay?

For what purpose? If you asked me I'd say she needs some meat on her arms. How do you "tone" w/ stick arms?

For Bikini not FBB or Figure. Found the pic by accident. Seems to have some semblance of abs but not 'too muscular' to be too much for bikini. If You don't like it, my bad then. Just asking....

LOL -- I"m the hardass > 40 FBB here. I'm still gagging on the term "toned".

If they want "no muscle" for bikini - she's their girl. I personally find women w/ stick arms & weak shoulders to be creepy, but that's just me

I'm probably not the best person to ask.

I love hardcore FBBs too. Since there is a bikini division and she seemed bettter than skinny,twiggy girls out there I thought she might be good. Otherwise, I would not even pay attention to her.

i think Jessica Ann Lawrence has a nice bikini look to her...she not 'too muscular' but she deff. has lines and definition that show she hits the gym and diets down

I know about Jessica Lawrence. She is cool.

^^ This at least looks like something. If you want to reward big boobs and skinny chicks, I'd really rather see that confined to Hawaiian Tropic. IMO has no place on a physique stage.

**lilfitgirl** · 02-03-2010, 12:38 AM

and agian my point is i am entering this and i think this is what it should be
skrawny girls who r scared of a 2lb dumbell shouldnt b up there i agree
all of u people would prolly look at me and think "she doesnt lift" cuz my muscles just arent that developed, when in fact i do!?
must we all just assume things!?

**sassy69** · 02-03-2010, 01:10 AM

People assume all sorts of things - the only thing that matters is what you think & what you do.

**lilfitgirl** · 02-10-2010, 11:20 PM

ok so i have decided to do JanTana self tanner to make sure that i am dark enough for the stage lights...for those girls who have competed in bikini, did you do one or two layers of self tanner
(i was going to have them spray me at the show, but i am a broke college student so i need to cut corners where i can)

**lilfitgirl** · 02-10-2010, 11:22 PM

i am anxious for my bikini and heels to come in the mail so i can put it all on and really start getting my walking and posing down

5.5 weeks to go...im gettin nervous!!!
