Back in the late 90’s / 00’s I was in uni and was a writer/editor for the university newspaper. By then I had discovered DaveMeister, Builtmore, the Yahoo Groups, WPW, Her Biceps and AMG etc... so I had my favourite images committed to memory and where to find them.
As an aside they included Marianna Komlos, Lory, Summer Kalish, Andrea Izard (sp), Caryl Steyrck (sp) and of course Tina Lockwood.
Mark, my Editor and pal calls me in and says he wants a light-hearted double page spread about dating, and maybe dating people you wouldn’t normally consider. I can’t remember what we came up with but it would have been nerds, rockers, etc... nothing original and hey, I never won that Pulitzer. Obviously one group suggested by me was “female bodybuilder”. Excellent! Mark loved it, make sure there’s some pictures for the article.
Cue me immediately (I won’t say googling as it pre-dated that, so I’ll say) Yahooing all these classic sites listed above and immediately homing in on these amazing pictures. “Crikey” said Mark, “you seem to be an expert”.
D’oh!
