ok guys, i will do my best, not for KARMA (i don't care), just for the pleasure to share it with friendly guys like Vato 76...
I've got it on vhs, and my old vcr doesn't have any dvd.

Hey Super, the only advice i can give you is to check out videohelp.com. They have lots of guides & info on video capturing there. Ive never transfered vcr to pc so i couldnt really help you myself. If your pc doesnt have a capture card you might be able to use the "easycap" mentioned in this thread: http://www.videoforums.co.uk/perfect-video-editing-pc/25692-advice-needed-vcr-pc-transfer-tools-editing-software.html . But i dont know what theyre talking about because thats just one of the first guides i googled. But there are means and ways to get it done, it just might cost ya more than youd be wiling to spend on the necessary hardware. You just have to consider if its worth it or not.

Hopefully someone can assist me with this rare mid 90's pic, but in either Musclemag or Flex Magazine, if my memory serves me correctly...I think it's in Musclemag, there's a photo of Muriane in the latest news section that shows her in massive off-season shape. The editor couldn't express enough how jaw dropping she looked in person when she revealed her new off-season look to compete in the IFBB. I believe I still have the publication in my collection, but having gone through them several times, I've been coming up empty handed. I would love to scan and post it if I find it. Maybe someone knows what I'm referring to?

Decided to go through my collection one last time this morning, picked up the first magazine I saw in the box, Musclemag Aug, 1996, scanned through each page thoroughly, and surprisingly found what I was looking for in the “Muscle Beach Hot Gossip” section. Muriane was incredible!

Here’s an excerpt of what was written on her:

“I first saw her in magazines nearly 10 years ago when she was competing for the WABBA organization. At the time her development and symmetry were along the lines of Renita Harris, and her exotic beauty caught my attention. Since then she has gone a more hardcore route, added a great deal of muscular size to her frame, and changed affiliation to the IFBB. I probably saw her at an off-season high weight, but she still has wonderful symmetry, smooth satiny skin and exotic looks. A language barrier made communication all but impossible, and I cursed myself for not being more linguistically inclined. I can’t help but believe that interviewing foreign bodybuilders in their native languages would be far more productive and interesting, especially if one wants to know their more personal side.”
