(More) Summer Lovin': Sun's (Still) Out...

Kim Gutierrez

A continuation of/companion piece to our Summer Lovin' post with (almost) the same name in July. FMS proudly presents another installment of hot and hard women out and about and showing off their muscles - at times outrageously so - in the sun.

HIKE

RIDE



One thing that hasn't changed about Shannon is her love of equines

GO TO WATER



Jennifer Keller

Whether it's the pool or a (real or artifical) lake, there are cooling alternatives to the beach for the terminally land-locked when the mercury rises. Having said that though, it's hard to imagine any of these bodies truly having a cooling effect on the local environment, particularly Maria Garcia emerging Bond-girl-of-my-dreams-like from the pool in a Bikini that reveals only slightly less than no Bikini at all would.

The definition of caliente?

HIT THE STREETS



Vivi Winkler

No excuse necessary, but high temperatures mean fewer clothes - the perfect chance to expose all those parts of your body you've been working so hard to perfect.

FLEX FOR FOOD



"Roxy" is the only name we have for her, unfortunately. We're pretty sure, however, that a lady as good-looking as she is, who has such thick, suckable biceps as she does, won't have later walked out of The Protein House having paid for her meal.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEAM



Flamengo, in case you were thinking of joining Alessandra Alvez's tribe.

KEEP US SAFE



"Misty"

Summer is not all play. Someone has to pull us out of the burning building, someone has to arrest those perps. I feel I would sleep more soundly if I knew all fire fighters and police officers were a) female, and b) carried as much muscle as these gems.

GET THOSE JOBS DONE



Gutters don't clear themselves, you know.

Today's late August Bank Holiday here in the UK (not Scotland) always serves to remind us that autumn chills are indeed not far away. Until then though, we hope that all our friendly neighbourhood muscle women continue to show it all off.

(More) Summer Lovin': Summer of Ashley

Last seen on stage at the Tampa Pro, Ashley Hromyak clearly knows how to do summer - between the sets, obviously, her Tampa package probably her best ever.

She rides an inflatable unicorn...



And she LOVES paddleboarding...



I do like the way she grips the shaft of that paddle...




[enough! - ed.]

Killjoy.

Enjoy!

Sunday at Sea

Imagine...

The wife has been waving cruise brochures in front of your face for years, but never managed to get you on the boat. This year, however, she just went and booked it.

Four weeks of it. Your Christmas "present".

You set sail in August, but have felt nauseous since February.

But as you arrive at the port - with a month's worth of travel sickness pills - the radar goes off like it's never gone off before. Muscle to starboard (or is it port?), and from where you are she looks HUGE! You try - and fail - not to stare. She's right there, tight shorts, loose vest and OMG she's only bloody POSING in front of the boat.



And OMG it IS her. It's KATIE LEE!!!

Katie (really) did take a well-earned break for a Caribbean cruise with friends recently - Dominican Republic, Honduras, etc. And I can't help wondering how many of her fellow passengers spent days and nights desperately manoeuvring themselves and their significant others into parts of the boat where Katie & Co. were while at the same time (and equally desperately) trying to cover up a tentpole the size of an oar...



The more successful our voyaging female muscle heads were at that - and at stalking the gorgeous Katie during stop-offs - probably had a knock-on effect on the vigour, and frequency, with which their significant other got the "benefit" of that tentpole.



Net result - your wife's now under the impression that if she wants a "romantic" holiday, then taking you on a cruise is the only way to go. "He's never like this when we do a city break," she says to herself after yet another (vigorous) pre-dinner (post-Katie-stalking) cabin romp. "Think I'll pre-book next year before we disembark."



The "Allure of the Seas", eh?

More Katie, including more Katie on vacation, on her Instagram.

Summer Lovin': Spot the Vivi

I don't think we've ever featured Brazilian thunderella Vivi Winkler before, but she's probably not unfamiliar to (a very well-informed female muscle head like) yourself.

Could you spot her in a line-up though?



Answers to the usual address. Winning entries go into a draw for the (one and only) prize - a once in a lifetime opportunity to take Vivi out dress shopping*.



Watch Vivi suffer for her art here.

Enjoy!

Summer Lovin' continues next week.

* You even get to pick up the bill!

Summer Lovin': Baywatch?

Once, we fantasised about making a female muscle beach map of the world, sticking our pins in places where muscular beauties had been spotted on the sand or in the surf...



And I still think it's one of our better ideas!



Who among us hasn't headed to the beach on the first day of our holiday bursting with anticipation, utterly convinced this year will be the year when we finally lay our towel within sight of the muscle woman of our dreams, only to drag our (slightly burned) bums back to the airport two weeks' later, our fantasies still unfulfilled?



Knowing which beaches have been female muscle hotspots in the recent past would surely boost both your chances of sighting the unicorn and the local economy - female muscle lovers being well-known for their extravagant spending habits and all.



And so, my lovely readers, I appeal to you once again!



FMS is desperately seeking 1. nerd to make the map, and 2. spotters to send in reports of sightings (pictures would be appreciated but we'll take your word for it - after all, stashing a camera in your budgie smugglers is not the easiest thing in the world).



On reflection, perhaps a world map would be a monumental waste of time - entirely blank except for extreme concentrations in Florida, California, and Brazil. Perhaps we actually need to have three maps - one each for the coasts of those states?



Empty when I arrived, within an hour the beach was absolutely rammed!

The bit where I was anyway...



Much more of Anita Herbert's "Beachercize" here.

Enjoy your holidays! May your female muscle lovin' dreams all come true!

Hall of Fame #8

Michelle Baker in a purple dress by HerBiceps; the Abs & Thigh pose; the beautiful rears of Sophie Duquette and Debbie Muggli, as shot by Awefilms and Bill Dobbins respectively (and both C. Moore Glootz nominated); Christina Rhodes hulking out of an orange dress; Juliette Bergmann in a see-through top on a sofa; and Bernie Price at the 1990 NABBA Universe, nipple out after a wardrobe malfunction.

These are the (seven) exhibits to date in the (entirely virtual but you never know) FMS Hall of Fame, a series so in need of resurrection we'd almost forgotten it was dead.

We've gone back to the "original" format of a numbered entry and a single photo set we consider outstanding (though this is no way should be taken to mean that's the only type of thing we're looking to induct) - and chosen Heather Lee by WPW/Ray Martin.



We noted on Wednesday that we thought a series of posts for the "Underrated of the Female Muscle Past" was in order, and Heather could have slipped very nicely in there, but in the end felt she was more deserving of a place in The FMS Hall of Fame.



Remember Heather Lee? Such a popular woman in her early noughties pomp, she was, with her HeatherLeeNJ.com website and multiple racy photo sets, quite the pioneering self-sufficient muscle babe. A sort of naughty Cindy Phillips before Cindy Phillips, and an online media darling whose popularity far exceeded her competitive achievements before social media made such a profile commonplace.



But having made that decision, we were now faced with the task of selecting which of her countless photo sets would make it. There was a suggestion we should just put her entire oeuvre in, but to be honest I'm not as keen on some of her off-season shoots nor her work with HerBiceps - don't get me wrong, they are great, but they're just not quite as great as, for example, much of the stuff she did with Reg Bradford.



In the end I plumped for the very first images I saw of her, and that's mainly because I can recall very vividly the when and the where I first saw them and the rush of excitement Heather's own unique brand of muscular sex appeal had on me.

In those days the kind of affordable internet access I enjoy now was beyond my wildest dreams, but there was plenty of internet at work. Night after night I would stay at my desk until everyone else in the office had left - I didn't have to wait long, we weren't the hardest working team in show business - before using the (super speedy for the time as no one else was using it) office web service for my own personal pleasure. Invariably this started with a search of WPW samples, the best of which I would then print (in colour - I spared no office expense). And you can probably guess what followed.

These images of Heather were among my most treasured at that time, or perhaps "most used" would be a more accurate way of describing them. She was impossibly blond, impossibly beautiful (as I still believed at that time only American women could be). I loved her below-navel tattoo, her smile, her tan, and most of all, her muscles.



Sadly, I have not been able to find (in the FMS archives or elsewhere) the original images, so these three heavily-cropped versions will have to do. In the end, I actually scored points with the management for consistently working over my contracted hours and got a pay rise out of all my late night female muscle lovin' shenanigans.

Welcome to the Hall of Fame Heather, and thank you!
