    Fearful and Dismayed All In One ........................

    It   has  become  extremely  clear  that  we  can  no  longer  take  things  for   granted.  Last   night  having  not   having  to  go  into  work   I  decided  upon   taking in  a  documentary   on  one  of  the  cable  channels.    This  documentary   dealt   with the  world  of  female  bodybuilders   and   the  task   they  face   in preparing  for  competition.   Many  of  the  females  competing  were  spectacular  physical   specimens.  And  it  was   hard  to  discern  whether  or  not  what  I was  witnessing  on  tv   was that  of  a  female  or  male  performing  in  competition.

     Many  of  these  females  see  themselves  as  being  the  equal  of  their  male  counterparts   as  they   compete  in  a  world  that   was  once  deemed    the  sole  domain   of  men.  But    the  competition    amongst    women  has    become  very   competitive   and  competitions    are  now  being  held   worldwide. It  is  now  eliciting  women  from  all  walks  of  life  to  compete  and     in  various  age  categories   and  weight  classes.  

    In this  steroid  induced  era   it  is  hard  to  see  these  women  as   equals   as  we  view   them   as  mothers, daughters, sisters , neices  and   above  all   as  companions.  But  on  looking  at   some  of the  contestants   one  can  feel  that  we  might  be    looking  at   an  abnormal  human    specimen.

    Many  of  these   pictures  might  elicit  howls  of  laughter   from  many  because of  the  masculinity   in  the  appearance  of  many  of the  females  but  they're  as  as  serious  about    their    chosen  profession    as  any  man   competing  would  be. They  see  it  as  a  way  of  breaking  into  a  world   where  the  competition  can  be  fierce   but   the  rewards can  be  extremely  generous.   Many  of  the  top  competitors   can  earn  well   in  excess   of   six  figures   in  prize  money.       But      the  real    money is  earned    through     endorsements    that  are   forthcoming   from  various    sponsors  ,  namely    nutritional  supplement  manufacturers,  fitness  magazine  publishers, swimwear  accessory   manufacturers  and  the  possibility   of  breaking  into  the  entertainment  arena.

    One  of   the most  famous   of  the    female  bodybuilders,  fitness   personalities  to  emerge    was  Corey  Everson.   Having  won  the  Miss  Olympia    6  times  ,  Everson  was  able  to   parlay  her  fame   into   a   fairly  successful  business  empire.  She's   also   a  contributor  to a  number  of  fitness  magazines
