Hot and Hard: One Vote Wonders
Today, we're going back to the voting for this year's Hot and Hard 100 with three mouth-watering women who, despite their very different shapes and sizes, most definitely possess both heat and hardness. What they also have in common is that they all received a single vote. For reasons that will become clear though, FMS felt they deserved better - or at least a mention on the blog, and today is their day.
Firstly, from Brazil, it's "Fitness Diva" Michelle Lewin.
Michelle's single vote came from none other than UK female muscle bloggin' legend PumpItUp, who had Michelle near the top of his list for the second consecutive year.
I just adore Michelle Lewin, he said, explaining his choices back in 2014. Her pics never disappoint, all the boxes are ticked. There’s perfect wife material there.
Seems like absolutely NONE of you agree! But as the man had a "death rattle moment" with an old hard drive last week - 400GB and probably 2 years of surfing, downloading and collecting gone - I'm sure you won't object to us showing him a little love and sympathy in the shape of his favourite Brazilian goddess.

More Michelle on Facebook, Instagram (where she has getting on for two million followers), her own website, and her YouTube channel, from which her latest clip...
Visit PumpItUp's Female Muscle for Autumn Swansen, Aleesha Young, Angelica Enberg, Cornelia Ritzke, Helga Stibi (just some of this week's posts) and, of course, much much more of his beloved Michelle Lewin.
And our next One Vote Wonder is 24-year-old Whitney Haycock.
The lovely Whitney is an NPC Figure competitor with a little more muscle than most of those Figure ladies (the amateurs anyway). She's been competing since 2012, and last year she was 10th in her class at the USAs and then 6th at the Nationals.
Whitney's single vote was notable because she is the only woman (so far) in the two years of the Hot and Hard 100 to have been #1 on someone's list and absolutely nowhere on everybody else's. As she is married - and "happily" - I do wonder whether the vote came from her husband, but as the reader in question never got back to me after I thanked him for voting, I can't confirm that theory I'm afraid.

A more likely explanation would be that her lack of votes was down to the fact that she was, at the time of voting at least, relatively unknown. I certainly hadn't heard of her before - I mean, who has enough time on their hands to check out the pics of the 6th place finisher at the NPC Nationals in Figure Class F? - but you can bet I've been all over both her Instagram and her Facebook page ever since then!

So, definitely time we all got to know Whitney a little better...
And you can see Part 2 of that interview here.
And so to our third and final One Vote Wonder...
How I ended up being the only person who voted for the amazing Twana Barnett-Fergsuon had my jaw to the floor when I was adding up the votes (and you can bet I did more than one recount before I convinced myself it was, in fact, true) and to be honest, I still can't believe no one else has, like me, fallen under her spell.
Swell was digging Twana back in August of last year and featured her again as part of our Winners of 2014 round-up after she had won her pro card at the IFBB North Americans, so you can hardly use the excuse that she was unknown to you.
Is it the tats? Despite the muscles and the smile and the whole black Mavi Gioia thing she's got going on, your excuse is that you can't see past the tats? Really?!?!
I am shocked. And disappointed. And still very much in the Twana Barnett-Ferguson promotion business. You'll be seeing these tats again for sure!
Why not fall for Twana's charms in the meantime over on her sexy, informative (really, if you want to know what women like Twana hate other people doing in the gym while they're working out, you will find it there) and funny Instagram feed?
Exhibit A
Confession... I only go to the gym to stay strong enough to carry ALL my groceries in 1 trip! Am I the only one part of Team No Two Trips!?!?!
Exhibit B

Is it still "beastmode" if you smile and laugh through the whole workout??? I've gotta work on my warface.
I mean, come on, how can you not love her?
And I leave you today with the latest from her YouTube channel.
Cardio. Twana style.
Enjoy!

Winners of 2014: Part Two
WBPF International Austrian Championships (Bodybuilding)
OANA HREAPCA

Her absness cropped up this year at the World Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Federation's Austrian Championships and (I think) found herself in a field of one. However, she didn't seem to mind and looked as thick and gorgeous as ever.
Watch a man who can't help himself
NPC North Carolina State (Class B & Overall Physique)
IFBB North American Championships (Class B Open & Over 35 Masters Physique)
GILLIAN WARD

Former gymnast, dancer and martial artist Gillian Ward has had quite a first year as a Physique competitor. I am intensely driven and truly believe that I am capable of anything that I put my mind to, she says. Well, believe! She won her first ever contest in April, and by the end of August had won open and over 35 classes at the North Americans and was promptly awarded her pro card. I know nothing other than being strong, says Gillian, in reference to her athletic achievements both past and present. I very much enjoy it. Being strong makes me feel capable and empowered.
Watch Gillian's gymnastic fantastic routine
IFBB Brazilian Championships (Bodybuilding)
IFBB South American Championships (Bodybuilding)
SELMA LABAT

The next Brazilian female muscle sensation off the rank, Selma Labat also graduated to the pros in 2014. We haven't been able to find too many images of Selma's triumphs, but we have managed to find her routine from the Brazilian Championships.

NAC Universe (Physique)
MONIA GIOIOSA

Isn't it good to know that somewhere there's a federation where hardcore female muscle is still appreciated? The NAC judges its "Physique" women on muscular development, muscular proportions, symmetry of development, and muscular definition, allowing the biggest hardest woman to win every time. Monia Gioiosa was that big hard woman in 2011 and 2012, and won for the third time this year.

IFBB North American Championships (Class D Over 35 Physique)
TWANA BARNETT-FERGUSON

She's a loving wife, a Krav Maga expert, a rare beauty and now an IFBB Physique pro. Twana caught our attention earlier in the year and has held it tight ever since. Has there been a woman in 2014 who has enjoyed her stage experience more than TBF?
Marvel at her muscular beauty on Instagram
IFBB Tampa Pro (Bodybuilding)
SHEILA BLECK

She'd been MIA since 2012, so it was great to see the legendary Sheila Bleck return to competition in 2014, bringing her trademarks - incredible conditioning and the captivating artistry of her posing - back with her. She won the Tampa Pro and consequently qualified for her fourth Ms Olympia, where she finished 7th.
