Strong Women in History: Ethel Hart

Ethel Hart was an American dancer and strongwoman. Miss Hart added more muscle everyday through her dancing performance. She could take her male dancing partner weighing over 200 lbs and throw him over her head. She also was a weightlifter and could lift 200 lbs over her head with ease. This muscular beauty believed that every woman should be fighting fit. She favored boxing and wrestling for women and said that women shouldn’t be condent to be known as the weaker sex.

Artist Spotlight on Wreck Shop

Artist EJ Morges may not have an instantly recognizable name, but his Wreck Shop brand is well known to many female muscle fans.

Born in Arkansas, EJ grew up in California and attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He stayed to follow his dream of working as a professional illustrator in the comic book industry.

In 1994, EJ released a small creator owned comic called "The Snake", while trying to get work in the mainstream field. He began to fear he wouldn't reach his dream. "If I couldn’t make it in the big time the old fashioned way, I would force my way in!" EJ says. He wanted to share his passion for powerful women and characters with large muscles. Press Oblivion was started as the umbrella to bring those characters to life. Rough House was the site where his content could be purchased and Wreck Shop is the name he used when creating female muscle artwork.

Confused yet?

No matter the name, EJ's early work for various sites made him popular in the FMG fan community. He had numerous stories published at LHArt, including the legendary All-Growth series. Done mostly in pencil or ink, his detailed drawings depicted woman with larger than life musculature, yet oozing with femininity. It's no wonder the Wreck Shop web forums became a hot spot for female muscle art in the early 2000's.

Sometime in the mid 2000's, the Wreck Shop site went down and EJ disappeared from the female muscle scene without a word. He spent some time dealing with personal matters. After that, he tried to reaffirm his interest in comics and working as a professional in the industry. Unfortunately, he still hasn't made much progress.

Although he doesn't create female muscle artwork any longer, a few new ones have surfaced thanks to persistent fans. He has inspired many FMG artists (including myself) and we hope to see more in the future.

Laura Pijbes wanted to see how she looked with bigger boobs and she came to the right place. Brook Blue was the model size, but I slipped and went a little bigger… oops. Thanks Laura for playing at the Area Orion labs.

Joanna Thomas is one of my favorite Female Bodybuilders (and test subjects). It's been a long time since we've had her in the labs and felt it was due time to have her back.

Work It Coco

 

Nicole “Coco” Austin is used to throwing “heavy weights” around and works hard to keep that full figure in shape. Busty women working out, two of my favorite things.

Amanda Dunbar Spotlight

I've always been athletic throughout my life. I started training as a gymnast at the age of 4 and had to retire from the sport at 17. I competed as a national level gymnast and my ultimate plan was to go to college on a full scholarship for gymnastics but had a career ending injury and had to turn down all scholarship offers. I had fractured/dislocated my ankle in approx 20 places and so far I've had 5 surgeries to correct the problem, including a cartilage transplant from knee to ankle.

After having to quit gymnastics, I needed something that would keep me fit. I was used to training in gymnastics 6 days per week and was now starting to gain weight from being in a cast/crutches for almost a year, nevermind the lack of exercise. I decided it was time to get back in the gym and start lifting again. Once I started seeing real progress, I decided I wanted to train for my first bodybuilding show.

I competed in my first bodybuilding competition at 21 and was very pleased how I looked on stage. I dieted/trained myself for my that competition which was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. It took so much time and dedication, not just for training/cardio, but to figure out how my body works and responds to different foods/diets. Once I saw what I looked like on stage at my first show, I realized how much I had accomplished and how much I really loved bodybuilding.

I have never had this much motivation to train before in my life. Over the past few years I have watched my body evolve and develop into something I never thought I could attain. I am still extremely young in this sport and cannot wait to see what I will look like in my 30s like most of my fellow competitors. It only gets better with age. This is a sport of time and I can't wait to continue GROWING! I am trying to really make a difference in the sport and become a person that can make it marketable once again... Like it used to be when Cory Everson dominated it. There is no reason why we can't go back to that look. I am ready to BRING IT. :) I do believe it can be attained... Size, symmetry, and beauty and I want to be the one to do it.

Megan Avalon has been through the AO labs many times, but here's a look at her first trip. I was contacted by Zenx007 to work on a new comics project featuring Megan and this was the test morph. Sadly the project never went anywhere.

I also created the logo. An Area Orion female muscle and breast expansion morph based on a photo by Hope Parr.

Strong Women in History: Miss Apollina

Elise Gillaine Herbigneaux (Miss Apollina), was born in Tongrine, Belgium in 1875. Growing up in a large family, Elise always participated in rugged games like hockey, tussled with boys and loaded and unloaded wagons with her own mighty arms. At fifteen, she trained to imitate the feats of the Antwerp strongman, Jean Larrey.

Apollina moved to Paris and trained at the Arasse Gymnasium in wrestling and weightlifting. She later left for Hamburg and won a wrestling championship. She emerged as the World's Champion in international competitions held in Liege, Brussels, Ghent, Charleroi and Mons where she defeated forty female wrestlers holding a title which has never been taken away. Next, Apollina toured London and the other cities showcasing her feats of strength. In her stage performances, she would engage local wrestlers to raise audience excitement and regularly wrestled men.

Apollina eventually married and adopted a three year old lost boy who later became a famous professor of strength.
