Hi Emery! :waving:

That will be an interesting art display.

[dallas3]

Looks like an exhibit to definately see

[Mike Pulcinella]

I have footage of Martin Scholler doing his thing with Vicki Nixon in a grungy little sub-basement under the theater at the Jan Tana show! It'll be in Vicki's documentary.

Honestly, female BB being such an fringe sport I never thought I'd see the work published but these pictures look fantastic! It's ART!

[dgiz84]

I'd love to visit it, too bad it's so far

[wildangel]

Hi Vicki! :waving:

Cool to see you here! ;)

Keep us updated on the book he is trying to get published. Does he have a MySpace? Maybe I can invite him here.

Anyone here going to see this exhibit in person?

:)

:aloha: Emery and Vicki! So awesome to have you both here.

Wished I had a private jet so I could fly over and check out this Art display.

[wildangel]

Thank you Island girl!! Sioux is a GREAT supporter of us ladies...to bad there are NOT MORE!! There is only ONE Sioux!

Hey Vicki, nice to see you on here :). Interested to see how this book comes out as well as your documentary.

[Emery Miller]

Hey Vicki! Good to see you, girl! Yes, Martin is amazing as is Sioux!

Patrick & I will be going to watch all the rich folks stare in amazement! It is Beverly Hills...

This year is a good year for FBBs, since John Stutz will have his book out, (Which I am also proud to be a part of) & along with Vicki's documentary, WEtv (Womens Entertainment channel) will have an episode of Secret Lives of Women dedicated to us probably around May. There will be 4 Fbb's including myself featured! Its going to be awesome!

[dallas3]

Hi Emery, that news sounds exciting, can't wait to see John's book as well as those shows on WE. Congrats:awesome:

[Emery Miller]

I forgot to mention that Martin's work will be coming out in book form this year as well. Very good news for us all!

Cool see that we have the Swidish Irene Andersen on the top poster (left) those Swedes are everywhere :-)

[Mike Pulcinella]

Here's a clip of Martin working with Vicki that I posted on my blog...

http://mikepulcinella.com/whatsnew.htm

For me his photos are a powerful and unique statement by a patient artist. I envy his ability to strip away almost everything we've come to expect in a photograph...no costumes, no props, no scenery, no backdrop, sometimes no makeup, no sense of place or time or fashion, put his subject at ease and get an unselfconscious image of the real person. I aspire to do that in every video I shoot!

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I wish I could go and see that

[Siouxcountry]

Thank you Island girl!! Sioux is a GREAT supporter of us ladies...to bad there are NOT MORE!! There is only ONE Sioux!

Thank you Vicki! :)

Hey Vicki! Good to see you, girl! Yes, Martin is amazing as is Sioux!

You are quite amazing yourself. :)

Emery can you tell us more about the WETV special?

Also do you happen to know anything about this special... LINK (http://www.siouxcountry.com/showthread.php?t=134)

I contacted Kristy, but she did not respond back.

March 5th

Kristy Hawkins:

I'm picking up Gene from the airport this afternoon to go to Martin Schoeller's gallery opening in Beverly Hills. He photographed me for his book on Sunday morning and has some of the female bodybuilders making appearances tonight. Should be fun.

Thanks, Mike!

Those photos are huge.

And look at the pros that showed up to pose. :cool:

Annie Rivieccio, Rosemary Jennings, Betty Viana-Adkins, Iris Kyle, & Yaxeni Oriquen...

[Mike Pulcinella]

It's a cool looking event, isn't it? Reminds me of the scene in Pumping iron where Arnold poses in a museum.

I wish I could have been there to document it!

[Siouxcountry]

I see that Gene Hwang was there.

Hey Sioux, I'm not sure about Kristy's special, but it does appear that fbb is getting a lot of positive press this year!

The WEtv show is called Secret Lives of Women and it should air sometime in May. They shot with 4 pro fbb's, including myself. It looks like they are trying very hard to kepp it positive, since WEtv is about empowering women.

I'll let you know as soon as we know anything about the release date.

Thanks again for giving us another place to be heard!

Sounds like an interesting series. The new season starts April 1st.

Secret Lives Of Women

It's an all-new season of the critically acclaimed series where real women reveal their deepest, darkest secrets. From fetishes and fantasies to polygamists to the dirty little secrets of suburbia, go inside their very different worlds for a glimpse at what makes these fascinating women tick.

Over at MD, Sallyanne received this comment from Iris Kyle...

Sally its was absolutely unbelievable, the crowd was in total "AWE" of us women athletes.... Welcoming us with open arms, showing overwhelming appreciation for the constant dedication and the endless sacrifices we endure in order to retain such balance physique.. I personally expected the total opposite, due to the general setting being an art gallery... Instead the entire night we were praised by all walks of life, motivating others to begin a regular exercise regimen, realizing exercising is choice and the way of life... I exactly managed to have a few women requesting training guidance... Sally you would have to really be there to understand, for the first time in a great while along with the other women athletes felt our hard work was truly being appreciated and accepted to the up most.. No longer can any IFBB organizer state us women athletes are NOT WANTED and will never be ACCEPTED in today society.... Now that's BULL CRAP.... Not that I thought otherwise , but when you constant hear upper authority stating such non sense you start to question your judgment...
Anyhow if small events can be established before long you will see another field of growth right before our eyes, I'm convinced we' re loved more than the IFBB Organization is willing to admit....

Big Hugs
Iris
