Sexy and She Knows It

When she feels so sexy she has to snap herself and share it with the world...

left, one can only guess how happy the dude whose arms you can see is; right, Michaela Schaar as Tarzana(?) ready for a night of swinging. Or something.

Glamour of the Day

Gorgeous Louise Rogers looks cool and classy in a dress that does nothing to hide her sexy muscular development. Welcome to a week of beautiful muscular women dressed up and defying the stereotype of female muscle being masculine. I am well-aware I'm preaching to the converted here, but if you get half the enjoyment viewing these posts that I've had choosing them, then it'll all have been worth it.

Enjoy!

Sarah And Me: Jan Tana 2007

After winning her pro card in 2002, at the age of only 22, it took Sarah five hard years to reach her peak as a pro. There were promising results in 2005, when she finished 3rd in the IFBB Charlotte Pro behind Jitka Harazimova and Betty Pariso, and 4th in the New York Pro, with only Riveccio, Foster and Calo ahead of her.

But a year later at the Europa, she came in 13th, albeit in a very competitive field. I had so much going on in my life and so many distractions. I didn’t give it 100% and I know that. Then on top of that, I get there and everyone who I depended on to help me with the last minute touches like color, meals and even a ride from the airport just totally bailed on me last minute. That show was… forget it. I don’t even want to think about it, she said in an interview the following year.

Her next show was to be the 2007 Jan Tana. A chance to revive her fortunes and to qualify for the Miss Olympia for the first time, which she was desperate to do. She had trained as hard as ever, and the fact that the show was taking place on her birthday seemed to be a good omen.

In 2007, I couldn’t imagine what a live stream of a female bodybuilding show was, nor was I aware of the sort of play-by-play commentary you get these days on forums like Bodybuilding.com. But the Jan Tana that year was the first contest I remember ‘following’, anticipating the day, scouring the internet for news and for the results.




Sarah was in the best shape of her life, but, in a field of only four lightweights, she was up against two of the best: Dena Westerfield and Marja Lehtonen.



While Sarah had struggled at the Europa in 2006, Dena Westerfield had been runner-up there, been to the Olympia, and had already finished 4th behind Mah-Ann Mendoza, Debbie Bramwell and Debi Laszewski at the 2007 Europa. Marja Lehtonen had been competing since the early ‘90s, was a Miss Olympia and Jan Tana veteran with years of top 3 finishes behind her.









So after a crowd-pleasing routine, had she done enough to win?





She’d done more than enough. Sarah had won every round, and having beaten Dena and Marja, she also took the Overall title, defeating Heavyweight winner Stephanie Kessler. Sarah had won her first (and so far only, pro title).





My Muscle Queen had been crowned. Well, she’d got a tiara and a bunch of flowers. So, there it was, a female bodybuilding contest with the result I wanted. Little did I suspect what a rare occurrence that would be...



Hope you have enjoyed my trip down memory lane with one of my very favourite female bodybuilders.

Sarah And Me: Her Biceps 2007

2007 was something of an annus mirabilis for Sarah, as she reached her peak as a pro bodybuilder with her first and only contest win, and, in a series of photo sets for HerBiceps.com, made me (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) a very happy man!




I've chosen some of my favourites from those sets for this penultimate post of Sarah and Me Week. They show Sarah at her most beautiful and most muscular. As ever, the camera loves her. She never looked better.




As with other women who moved from the asymmetric bars to the barbells (Natalia Murnikoviene and Gillian Kovack come to mind straight away), Sarah never had 'weak' legs, and used her gymnastics to enliven in her routines. It'll take a better man than me to put into words exactly what that 'something' is, but there's definitely something about ex-gymnasts who turn to bodybuilding, isn't there?




One of the photo sets (and as I recall, some accompanying clips) show Sarah with 'Samantha', a non-bodybuilder who nevertheless seems to have some fitness credentials. I loved (and still love) the juxtaposition of the two women. It's almost like looking at two different species. And Sarah is without doubt the superior of the two!





Enjoy!

Sarah and Me Week finishes tomorrow with Sarah at the 2007 Jan Tana.

Sarah And Me: At Home With Sarah II

There are some female muscle fans for whom the whole attraction of muscle women is their ability to dominate. These guys’ idea of heaven is having the crap beaten out of them, or being choked into unconsciousness between a pair of muscular thighs etc etc. There are some who want to be dominated on a wrestling mat, forced to submit and then worship, others more into the Robert Crumb lift and carry thing. For me, it’s never been about this.



Maybe I’m not your typical female muscle fan!



In my fantasies about female bodybuilders (and actual experience with muscular non-FBBs) muscle worship is like the foreplay. Not that I would object to (nor have I objected to) a bit of flexing during sex (or before, or after for that matter!) But I have no interest in being battered, dominated or ‘forced’ to do anything. I’d rather see a woman showing off her strength, flexibility or muscularity.



More specifically, I can say that the single greatest chat-up line that was ever thrown my way was by a martial artist (kung fu to be exact). After a minimum of preliminaries, she simply asked ‘How do you feel about women with muscle?’ and before I could say anything, she flexed her leg. My hand was already on its way to her thigh (she was wearing a long skirt so I couldn’t see her muscles) by the time she’d indicated with her eyes that I was to touch.



In the short time I knew her (we met abroad while I was visiting a different city to where I was based), I experienced for the first time, and really the only time, a woman who wanted her body appreciated in almost the exact way I’d always dreamed about appreciating a muscular woman’s body. Having her muscles ‘worshipped’ was how she warmed up for sex. It sometimes involved her doing her kung fu moves in varying states of undress while I watched and told her how sexy she looked and how turned on I was getting, and then moved onto me touching her. Or we would skip the first bit and get straight to the kissing, stroking and oiling. But this was all a prelude to the sexual act, not the be all and end all itself.



Some female bodybuilders spend more time being photographed naked than clothed, and I have absolutely no problem with that, absolutely no problem at all. Others never go nude, and again, there's nothing wrong with that. It's her body, her decision. The cherry on the cream on the cake though, as far as I'm concerned, anyway, is when your favourite muscle woman goes nude for the first time. So when these images of Sarah first went up on Land of Venus, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.




It's almost as if the photographer had read my mind. As I wrote about in At Home With Sarah I, imagining domestic life with her almost became my favourite hobby for a while (the doctor cleared me by the way). And though I'd never seen Sarah in her altogether before, I'd certainly imagined it. But I'd also imagined the scenario - watching her shower, towelling her off, oiling her muscles, etc. etc. It was uncanny how close these images were to my muscle worship preferences, and to my ultimate Sarah fantasy. This was no doubt because it was just such a predictable fantasy, but nevertheless, there it was, right before my eyes.

Sarah And Me: Her Space

For today's offering we have images of Sarah from her MySpace page, which she updated fairly regularly, from 2007 to 2010. Over this period, Sarah became a leaner version of her pro bodybuilder incarnation, but lost none of her natural beauty, and the camera, as you can see from the images, remained absolutely besotted with her.

In her own words, Sarah had turned IFBB Pro way before my time, bodybuilding had consumed her life to the exclusion of everything else. From 2007 on, she was able to explore other interests. To be alive and continue to grow is my life's ideal, says Sarah, and on her MySpace page, we were allowed to follow the next chapter in her story.

Sarah's own descriptions are in italics.


Chillin in at home, September 2007
A bolder man than I added this comment to the photo: 'You, me, whipped cream and handcuffs. Any questions?' Sarah didn't respond (publicly at least).


California, 2010
Those eyes and that smile.
