Monique Minton took her class and the overall against some good looking competition earlier today in Arlington, Texas. I caught this candid pic of Monique and company while we enjoyed some martial arts bouts between prejudging and the finals.

Congrats to Monique for her win! :awesome: Were there a lot of competitors? Thanks for sharing these pics John! :D

[Musclepapa John]

Hey Mel,
This is a show with a proud Texas tradition that the Pariso's took over that they plan to build to the level of their other Europa productions. They have a lot going on these days with the new Hartford show added to next years' schedule along with another one that we are likely to be hearing a lot more about in the coming months. And I'm not sure many people know, but Betty is competing this year at the Tampa Pro a week prior to their big Europa, Dallas show:awesome: After about four years of doing mostly the Arnold & Olympia, Betty is spreading her wings again and planning on Tampa and Atlantic City along with the other two biggies.

I must say it is strange to be at a show where the head judge is even a hottie:p
IFBB Pro Figure Jen who is also an NPC National judge was the head judge at this competition and was phenomenal. In the picture she is being honored for her contributions to the Texas NPC.:awesome:

I want to congratulate both Monique Minton and Melinda Alleman on a very successful day!!!!

Melinda made her NPC Bikini debut with a first place win in the A-class. She has a ton of style and charisma and a fantastic physique!!!

What can I say about MoFreak? She is ridiculous. That train is a rollin' in to Vegas in four weeks!!!!

[NYCStrongFox]

Luv the action shots of the fitness girls. :D

Uhh...on the backstage pic of Melinda and Monique, it looks like...well...John, maybe you can explain what's going on in the backstage pic. I don't want to say the wrong thing and get cyber-smacked. :rofl:

Either way, will either or both of these ladies compete in the USAs, or later on down the line? I see them both with IFBB Bikini pro cards in the very near future.

[Pamela Soper]
