You've voted, I've counted.
It's time to reveal who you the readers think were the one hundred hottest hard women in the world in 2013. In reverse order, for the first time ever, it's...
THE FMS HOT AND HARD 100
100
PATRICIA BECKMAN
Natural bodybuilder
I know, I know, we've only just started and it's Patricia Beckman already! The world's most successful natural female bodybuilder, possessor of "goddess genetics", and, along with her twin sister, Terri McBee, the subject of a recent FMS post.
98=
ERICA BLOCKMAN
2013 NPC Junior Nationals Physique Overall Winner
98=
VANESSA NAESHEIM
NPC Figure competitor
Born in Stavanger, Norway, Vanessa now lives in Louisiana. Note the "Obsessed" tattoo on her right arm. Nothing to separate her and Erica Blockman. The lists they both appeared in weren't ranked, and they received exactly the same number of votes.
97
PATRICIA MELLO
IFBB Pro Physique competitor
Patricia says, I'm just a Brazilian girl living the American Dream...
96
CHELSEA HAGAN
Actress/Model
Believe it or not, back in August 2011, Chelsea was Social Paintball's Paintmate of the Month. Really! Such a thing exists, and you can check it out here. She claims to have a fun and spunky charisma and says her biggest inspiration is Larissa Reis.
95
TONI WEST
2013 IFBB Toronto Pro Physique Overall Winner
Toni, a former natural bodybuilding champion, finished 4th at the Olympia after qualifying with an overall win in Toronto and 3rd place in New York. And all this was in her very first year as a pro. This wife and mother from Pittsburgh says, I love being the strongest girl in the gym and I love having muscles! It is empowering!
94
JULIE BONNETT
WBFF Diva
93
JAY FUCHS
Bodybuilder
Until 2005, a kickboxer with an impressive record of 40 wins in 45 fights and a world championship belt, Jacqueline "Jay" Fuchs truly qualifies as hot AND hard.
92
NATALIYA ROMASHKO
Bodybuilder/Powerlifter
Nataliya's parents were both actors. She took up weight training at the age of 16 after meeting her future husband. She began competing only after the birth of their daughter. And given what's kicking off in her country as I write, I expect all our readers would like to join FMS in hoping Nataliya and all her loved ones stay well.
91
ALICIA COATES
IFBB Pro Figure champion
She may describe herself as a "hamburger connoisseur" and stress her "goofball" credentials, but in 2013, Alicia Coates showed she knows when to get serious. Having turned pro after winning her class at the NPC Jr Nationals, she promptly won her first two professional contests. We think she's as naturally beautiful as any of the women on our list, and confidently predict another big year for Alicia in 2014.
90
SHEILA BLECK
Female bodybulding legend
Originally from Oregon, Sheila currently lives in Sweden with her partner. She first competed way back in 1993 at the tender age of 18, and has been a pro since 2008. She is the co-owner, with Melody Spetko, of MuscleGirlzLive, sponsors of the Toronto Pro FBB contest. The soul purpose behind creating MGL, says Sheila, was for it to be OWNED by female athlete dedicated to the sport of female bodybuilding athletes. MGL's goal is to sponsor at least two IFBB FBB pro shows a year.
89
SILVIA MATTA
Roman goddess
88
KATRINKA DANIELSON
Physique competitor
Katrinka moved up to the Physique division from Figure a couple of years ago. Now 37, she says it was 8 years ago when weights became not only a lifestyle but an addiction. Why? I loved the results! Coincidentally, although she now resides in Florida, Katrinka is, just like Sheila Bleck, originally from Oregon.
87
ELEONORA DOBRININA
WBFF Pro
Eleonora's message to women is, Busting your butt won't make you a man; it will make you look healthy, fit, hot and sexy, and give you more confidence. Fit legs on women always catch men's eyes. Don't be afraid of hard work and heavy lifting. It just gives you more opportunities to get compliments!
86
MONICA MARTIN
Brazilian female muscle legend
Did you know? Monica was the first ever IFBB pro female bodybuilder from Brazil.
85
MALLORY HALDEMAN
IFBB Pro Figure competitor
Mallory is a personal trainer based in Las Vegas. Figure competitions are only one part of my fitness lifestyle, she says. I enjoy everything from back-packing and camping to rock climbing and kick-boxing! Fitness isn't a goal, it's a LIFESTYLE!
84
MARIA KUZMINA
Physique competitor
Now, I promised myself I wasn't going to get all editorial with the brief comments accompanying the posts in the Hot and Hard Countdown, but I have to make an exception here. FMS was stunned, I'll say it again, I was stunned, that this former two-time NABBA Miss Universe and the woman with the best routine and the classiest stage presence at the 2013 Arnold Europe didn't place higher on the list.
83
DENISE MASINO
Female muscle tycoon
It's been 17 years since Denise started up Muscle Elegance with her then husband. She's in her mid-forties now, and retired from competition in 2007. But it's no surprise many readers still rate her as one of the sexiest hard women in the world.
82
JAMIE BERNHARDT
Fitness model
Classic model looks, shredded abs. Not much of a following yet, but gaining popularity rapidly, wrote one reader in his voting email. If there's anyone that could change pretty women's mind about becoming muscular, it could be her.
81
NICOLA BENTHAM
2013 NABBA Toned Figure Miss Universe
Aren't you glad you voted now?
And that, dear reader, is only the first 20 women! Imagine the kind of bombardment of beauty and muscle that is going to be coming your way ALL week on FMS.
The countdown continues tomorrow...
