Wayne DeMilia summer barbeque.....

IMG_8141cropped.jpg

 This was a great party at Wayne DeMilia's house. Wayne is one of the best guys and for a long time ran the IFBB.

During 9/11, I owed him money for advertising at one of his shows. Business took a dive for a few months and it was difficult for me to come up with the money that I owed him. I told Wayne I was having money issues. He said "pay me when you can, not a problem." He was extremely grateful that I paid him when business picked up again. In this sport things do not usually work this way.

I know my viewers do not like when I show photos of male bodybuilders. Not sure why. Sorry if I pissed anyone off again. 

Male bodybuilders love to show off. If you ask a guy bodybuilder to drop his pants before a bodybuilding competition, down they go. I over heard one of the guys saying he takes "stuff" that they add to explosives to get bigger and leaner along with some other really strange chemicals mixed together. Whatever works! I was worried that he might blow up while I was standing next to him. 

Last I heard he blew up. Sad story.

Marianne Faithfull "Electra" a Lori Braun Video

I created this video in honor of an amazing women and singer/songwriter, Marianne Faithfull. Her song, "Electra", moves me everytime I play it and I have always felt that her life and mine often move in tandem. This video is not about me, it is about Ms. Faithfull.

Kellie Everts offbeat bodybuilding pioneer

Kelly's personal site

esquire1.jpgIn the dawn of modern female bodybuilding, Kellie became a vocal advocate of the concept of female bodybuilding with appearances in print, Esquire and Playboy, and TV media. Her first major article was a six page spread in the July Esquire. Even Playboy's May 1977 decision to use photos of Kellie's bikini falling off while lifting weights helped to garner attention for the concept of female bodybuilding.

Kellie participated successfully in various events sponsored by the IFBB and WBBG in the seventies:

  • Ms Nude Universe 1967, featured in Playboy Feb. 1968
  • Ms Body Beautiful USA 1973 2nd Place, World Body Building Guild, New York
  • Ms Body Beautiful USA 1974 1st Place , World Body Building Guild, New York
  • IFBB Ms Americana 2nd place & Best Body, 1972, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York
  • IFBB Ms. Americana 1973 , CA . ‘Most Voluptuous’ Trophy, Contest Promoted by Reg & Shari Lewis.
  • IFBB Ms. Americana 1974, 2nd Place Trophy and Best Body Trophy, Felt Forum, New York

It is difficult to name the point at which the modern era began, but 1980 can be seen as a very important year in which the National Physique Committee(NPC) held the first women's Nationals, and the first Ms. Olympia took place. This 1980 Ms. Olympia, in which Kellie took part as a competitor, was at the same time Kellie's last public involvement with bodybuilding competition. There was recognition for Kellie for her early advocacy of female bodybuilding in the official 1980 Ms Olympia Program which stated:

She may well be called the "Herald" of women's bodybuilding as she exhibited her weightlifting prowess for national magazines and television shows as early as 1975.

The Dana Fuchs band- Live From NYC- "Rather Go Blind"

I saw Dana Fuchs last night at the Bardavon Opera House in Poughkeepsie New York. She opened for Dickey Betts and Great Southern. Great concert. She reminded me of a pretty hippie chick from the 70's and sounded like Janis Goplin. It's great to see that this type of scene still exists. Very mellow crowd.

Lori Braun interviews Anita Ramsey

1. What opportunities has bodybuilding opened up for you? First of all thanks bunches Lori for the opportunity and interview,that's very kind of you. Ok. Bodybuilding has opened a huge gambit of new avenues, ideas and opportunitiesforme.Bodybuilding has allowed me to make money through my muscles. There is so much offered in the bodybuilding realm that many do not take advantage of them  all. Anita's personal website

2. When you compete, do you always think you can win first place?
This is a good one. No! Never did. When I was skiing in college on the UNM Ski Team I new it was me against the clock, and the next best time. In bodybuilding it's not how good your physique is regardless if you dialed in that day, but rather you are judged by 7 other people and some of those judges might have friends competing against you that day – get  the picture? Now, that I am in powerlifting and for now bench press meets only, I do expect to win my weight class and blow everyone away as it's the
 weight and me. I just have to get it up the correct way without any red lights.

Ms. Olympia Moments - Bergmann Wins 2001 Title at Age 41

Ms. Olympia 2001 Juliette Bergmann

From a 2004 Flex Magazine article written by Steve Wennerstrom:

"Bergmann's 2001 lightweight and overall Ms. Olympia wins after a 12-year layoff will stand as one of the most impressive accomplishments in the history of the sport, and the feat places her in the same stratosphere of fame as Murray, Cory Everson and Kim Chizevsky. "
