WPW 177 - Janice Ragain (2 3/4 hours)
This tape is a compilation of several video sessions from 1990 to 1993. Though Janice has been retired from competition since 1989, she has stayed in terrific shape. Throughout her competitive career, she was known for her outstanding arms, and any doubts about whether her arms have lost anything are erased immediately, as the tape opens with her pumping up with some curls in WPW's standard cinnamon dress. Aside from a fifteen minute interview, the tape consists entirely of posing, in an array of outfits too numerous to mention. However, I will say that I particularly liked the first two (the cinnamon dress and a white sun dress); actually, the cinnamon dress appears again later in the tape as she poses by (and in) a stream. But the best outfit, in my opinion, is red tights with a tight, long-sleeve black top, which provides great arm shots and even better glute shots (for those of you not familiar with Janice, her glutes are some of the best ever).
Some of the posing further into the tape looks like it might have been intended originally for Ray Martin use. One scene starts with a very short bit of "muscle talk" ("I hope you like my arms..."), and there's another where they shot her doing her hair in a mirror. Fortunately though, regardless of the intended use, there are no corny Ray Martin skits. One particularly unusual scene was shot when they took her out to dinner, video camera in hand. She went into the restaurant with her arms covered, but they managed to persuade her to take her jacket off for a brief arm shot. This must have made for an interesting dining experience for some of the other patrons!
I'm a long time Ragain fan, and I enjoyed this tape a lot. She's not as hard as on the old video 51 from 1986, but she's just as big, and as pretty as ever. Though she was fairly big by mid-80's standards, she lacks the muscularity of the present day women. However, her physique (arms in particular) is a case of good shape and decent size being as good or better than freaky size and so-so shape. If you like the combination of mid-range muscularity and great looks, you'll like this tape.
