Ts of the Day

ELLIPSIS or FEMALE MUSCLE GRAMMAR

'Ellipsis' is the omission of a word or words from a sentence that are nevertheless obviously understood. An example might be 'Lift heavy', meaning 'You need to lift heavy weights'. Today, all the T-shirts modelled by muscular beauties are using ellipsis in exactly the same way, omitting the words 'I am a'.

left: Capucine Leconte (how's that for a name?!) is a figure competitor from Miami. And a Bad Ass Bombshell, apparently. Actually, Capucine is identifying herself as a member of Team Bombshell, a ridiculously successful figure, fitness and bikini 'team' run by former fitness star Shannon Dey (remember her?). If you like what you see here (and I bet you do), you might want to follow her on Twitter (@LuvMyBody), and on You Tube (luvmybod). There's some ellipsis in those tags too!

right: She may be the Pride of Britain, but if ever there was an illustration of how tough things can get for female bodybuilders in the UK, even the very top ones, the fact that Rene Campbell has had to take up employment advertising Nando's is it. Still, it's not all bad. The South African chicken chain's decision to use Rene and her muscles to advertise their product is absolutely a step in the right direction. As are those boots, shorts and the way the T has been customised to display as much of Rene as possible. And you can't fault the description!

We can't identify this 'Fitness Goddess', but we have found out where you can purchase one of these for the fitness goddess in your life, at Fitness Goddess Apparel. For UK fitness goddesses, zazzle.co.uk also have a fitness goddess T, but it doesn't have the lovely picture, unfortunately. If you are one of the lucky few with a bone fide bodybuilding goddess in your life, zazzle also have a bodybuilding goddess tank top available. And if you are fitness and bodybuilding goddessless, well, enjoy the picture!

right: And Gym Flow 100 are not far behind either.

If you have a lady who lifts in your life (or wish to shower gifts upon a lady who lifts and who you'd like in your life) both websites are perfect for your needs.

Happy shopping!
