In Memory Of Kris Clark

FemaleMuscle - It is with very heavy heart that we share the passing of Kris Clark. Kris lost her battle with esophageal cancer in the evening on August 8th, with her children at her side.

Kris was an NPC national level competitor and competed several times in the NPC USA Championships as well as Masters Nationals. Kris also competed in powerlifting and was a benchpress record-holder and ranked #1 in the US in the 181 lbs raw class. Read more >

Hard & Busty - Denise Fagerberg

 

 21 year old Swedish glamour model Denise Fagerberg built an epic booty to go along with her 1500cc chest. We recently came across this beauty and still haven't been able to turn away. Damn!

Can Cindy take #FemaleMuscle mainstream?

@CindyTraining Cindy Landolt has been voted the "Sexiest Sportswoman in Europe" by Maxim Magazine. We all know she's one of the hottest women on the planet but it begs the question... is the rest of the world far behind?

We hope her star continues to rise and sheds positive light on strong, muscular women.

Did "Ugly" Kill Female Bodybuilding?

New article on the Death of Women's Pro Bodybuilding from T-Nation.

Here's what you need to know... 

• In 2015, the Ms. Olympia was dropped, marking the possible end of women's bodybuilding.
• "Man face" is a term used to describe the masculinisation of a female bodybuilder's facial features.
• Drugs cause man face, of course, but there are other factors involved.
• The audience for women's bodybuilding is shrinking, but the "schmoes" could keep it alive.

A breast expansion morph of Zarah Pachecho that’s been in the AO Vault since 2009. Figured its time to let them breathe a little :)

Happy Birthday America

The Area Orion Vault

There’s been quite a few Area Orion morphs over the years that weren’t quite up to standards, or asked not to publish from the model/photographer. I call these the Area Orion Vault.

I hope to share more of these in the future. Here’s a “vaulted” female muscle morph of Sarah Backman from 2013. Looking at it now, now really sure why.

In Memory of Lynn McCrossin

From FemaleMuscle.com. Sadly Lynn never made a trip through the AO Labs.

We have just learned of the passing of long time competitor, Lynn McCrossin. Lynn was born June 15, 1958 in Caribou, ME, a small city in the northwest corner of Maine.

Lynn began bodybuilding in the early 80’s and competed in several AAU shows, before making the switch to the NPC. A top finisher at all her shows, Lynn left the stage to pursue other avenues with her amazing physique.

Lynn was a very caring person and spent many of her years in the Mental Health Field as a substance abuse counselor, therapeutic recreational specialist, crisis intervention and also child development for emotionally disturbed children. Lynn also gave her support to others as a personal trainer and helped many to change their lives with a new outlook and a commitment to living healthy.

Though we haven’t seen much of Lynn the past few years, she will be remembered for all her contributions to others and her competitive nature and spirit. Thank you Lynn for the memories.
