WPW 176 - Joanne McCartney (2 1/2 hours)
This was WPW's last video with Joanne, from 1990. She was in near contest shape here, and was the largest I've seen her. The tape starts with about fifteen minutes of Joanne posing in a hotel lobby, in the famous WPW cinnamon dress and a bikini. Her arms and legs both look incredible in the dress; the bikini segment is OK, but not particularly noteworthy. Then they took her outdoors for over an hour of posing in various outfits on railroad tracks and a nearby bridge (in tights / halter and several mini skirts), and in a small waterfall (in a white leotard). The two longest segments are a yellow mini (my favorite outfit on the tape), and the white leotard; both run fifteen minutes or more. There are plenty of excellent upper body shots (her arms - including forearms - are particularly impressive), and several of the minis also allowed for some nice ab shots. However, the emphasis is definitely on Joanne's incredible legs - great quads, and the best calves I've ever seen. They did did several nice walking scenes, which are really outstanding. This outdoor footage was apparently taken with a camcorder, so the picture bounces around a bit, but the video quality is still pretty good. My only real complaint is that they may have gone a bit overboard with the closeup shots in a few places.
Then there is about 45 minutes of additional posing - indoors, and on the deck, at that condo WPW uses so often. Again, lots of emphasis on legs; outfits include several more dresses, a bikini, and a leotard. Joanne looks particularly good in the last outfit, a black evening dress. The tape then concludes with an interview, which runs about 20 minutes. I found this interview to be a little more interesting than usual. Joanne talks about her powerlifting experience (she had done pretty well, with a squat and deadlift in the mid 400's), her move into professional wrestling, and fairly candidly about the IFBB and the WBF.
WPW has an earlier video (119) available on Joanne, with footage from 1987 through 1989. I have not seen it, so I can't make a full comparison - however, I have seen video 100 (from 1988), and the original version of 119, which have some of the footage now available in 119. Both 100 and the original 119 are pretty good, but if these are typical of the current video 119, then 176 is definitely the one to get first. If you simply want to look at a great set of calves, you can't go wrong with either tape, but Joanne is noticeably bigger on 176, particularly in the upper body. Needless to say, I heartily recommend video 176, especially for leg aficionados.
