NPC Nationals 1998

Fitness competitors...

There were plenty of other great competitors (too numerous to mention
actually) and some incredibly awesome physiques in the fitness classes
(short and shorter - ha!  just kidding, short and tall).  I'm not going to
bother going through the results of the fitness competition because I felt
the winners in each class were very poor choices and I can't remember what
half of the fitness girls looked like compared to their names.  But there
were many incredible physiques showing -jabber's favorite bodypart, the
abs.  In fact, one brunette - don't remember her name, whenever she stood
facing forward (supposedly relaxed), she kind of grinded/wiggled her torso
a bit, glanced down, and her abs jumped out in 3-D.  She did this a couple
times, much to my delight.  When my photos are put up on the Diana the
Valkyrie's site, you should see this incredible female's pics a couple
times.    A couple final comments of note before I close here.  During one
female's high flying routine, I noticed that the overzealous Musclesport
USA cameraman, who was on stage on the right, kind of got in the way, and
she kicked him.  Unfortunately, I did NOT get a pic of that, but figured it
kind of serves him right for being in the way.  Way to go girl.  However,
interestingly enough, during the next fitness girl's routine, the cameraman
became even more intrusive, even standing in front of her!  Now since Tre'
was not at this show, the -jabber had to play the part of the loudmouth
audience member. :-)  I'd already done it once QUITE resoundingly when
Giselle Sass was announced only 4th by a huge boo. Well, I didn't want to
say shit while this cute brunette was on stage, lest it be misconstrued I
was yelling something nasty about her - like, "You, get off the stage!" 
Plus I was trying to figure out how to yell out the multi-syllable
"cameraman" authoritatively.  

Instead I heard a female in the audience yell out "hey cameraman, stay off
the stage!", to which I chimed in, "yeah, man, we didn't pay to see you on
stage!".  Ah, the -jabber finally thought of something cool to say. :-)
Finally, when it was announced that the most muscular fitness competitor,
Linda McLaughlin (who could probably overpower most of the  bb's in
anything she chooses) - who again did her  difference between fitness and
bodybuilding' routine she did at the WSE 98, was announced only 5th, I let
out a boo so loud I became hoarse!  Hooligan said that when they air the
show on TV (or WPW video), I'm going to be immortalized by that loud boo!
Ha!
