Blakelee's Bow

We did warn you (see Pic of the Month: August). As she wrote herself: The time has finally arrived! 20 weeks of hard work will be proudly displayed on stage. The same weekend as the Tampa Pro, Blakelee Ortega was making her competitive debut.



Like Blakelee herself, we were prepared. Time was you never heard of any FBB before they stepped on stage. Times have changed. Out of her Instagram and onto the forums, Blakelee has been one of the phenomenons of the last twelve months. The Knoxville Classic isn't the kind of local show the female muscle lovin' world usually pays much attention to. Thanks to Blakelee - and Blakelee alone - this year was different.



The sky's the limit for Blakelee, reads the comment. Since right from the start of her explosion on the forums she has been tipped for greatness. It's not hard to explain her appeal - beast from the neck down, beauty from the neck up, or "hamster head and rottweiler body" as one wag put it. Pictures of her from this spring racked up views and favourites in record time, and as she counted down to her first show, as her muscles emerged in all their glory, our collective excitement reached new levels.



HD Physiques cannily shot her in the weeks before her show, and if what's said in the chat is to be believed, the spike to their subscription rate must have been considerable. Her biceps are absolutely awesome in this recent shoot, noted one HDP cheerleader. She seems so very proud of her muscles and it shows when she flexes.



Now, if I asked you if your hands were still above the keyboard...

It gets better - trust me - but first, shall we see how she did?




Winner of (due to being the only competitor in) Class "C", Blakelee didn't win the posedown for the Overall title. The pics aren't great quality either, so she doesn't even look that ripped. But having said all that, isn't she just GORGEOUS!



I've been trying to analyse in some sort of objective way just what it is about her, and while I've pretty much failed, I think it's got something to do with how long her limbs and/or torso and therefore her muscles are. Both her arms and thighs have such beautiful shapes. They're certainly big when you consider her age and therefore the amount of time she's had to develop them, but they're also beautifully formed.



Whatever. The most important thing is that Blakelee wants to do it again, right? Well, we are (genuinely) delighted to be able to report it's nothing but good news on that front - This is only the beginning, she wrote, beaming with her "C" class trophy. A new fire has been lit. So anxious to get back to work and build a bigger, better me!

And for our big finish, here is Blakelee two days before her show, showing off. Or "practising my routine" as she puts it. Inspired by Alyssa Kiessling apparently - in posing style and choice of briefs I dare say. I loved performing every second of this! Blakelee tells us. Funnily enough, I love watching every second of it.



Now, if I asked you where your hands were...
