Laura London

Laura London is a tribute to fit moms everywhere. She is a 43 year old mother of three. She says she gained a good bit of weight with her children, and was unhappy with her body. She started the Fit For Life program and had great success until she injured her back. At that point, she stopped exercising and gained quite a bit of weight back. Finally, she had had enough, and she made drastic changes in her lifestyle, her diet, and her fitness routine. At this point, she is a terribly successful fitness competitor.

Hi Lynn. Tell us about yourself, give us a little background.

Well, I’m 25 years old. I’m about 5’6″ tall and weigh about 110 lbs on a good day. I’m pretty curvy, I go 34D-24-35. I grew up in New York, but I moved around a lot.

Any siblings?

I have 2 brothers, and we’re all pretty close.

Were you athletic growing up? How did you get into fitness modeling?

Oh yeah. I’ve always been super-active and athletic. You name it – gymnastics, cheerleading, softball, volleyball, golf, ultimate frisbee, even surfing.

You mentioned injuries, and I see a few souvenir scars. What’s the scoop?

I was a competitive gymnast. Gymnastics is pretty hard on your body, it and cheerleading have a pretty high rate of injuries. I broke my elbow and ended up having surgery. At 5’6″, almost 5’7″, I was close to being too tall for the sport, so I never went back. I’m not one to sit around though – I loved to dance so I ended up on some dance teams and doing cheerleading. I went to college on a cheerleading scholarship, but my streak of good luck continued and I blew out my knee.

Wow, you are a surgeon’s dream. Somebody retired off you. Do the injuries still bother you?

Some days. I try not to let stuff slow me down. I’m really into P90X these days. I workout 6 days per week for 60-90 minutes per session. I bet I can do more pullups than you! lol

Uh, hey it’s not nice to pick on the interviewer. Who do you look up to?

I look up to any model or actress who was a nobody and became a somebody because of their talent instead of because of who they know. One of my favorites isn’t a fitness model, it’s Ellen Degeneres. She loves to help people and make them laugh. Laughter is the most important thing on my to-do list every day!

I saw you rocking out with your Ipod. What type of music do you listen to?

My top 3 favorites when I’m working out are:
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
Taylor Swift and Boys Like Girls – Two Is Better Than One
Train – Hey Soul sister

Lisa Bickels Part 3

Let’s revisit Lisa Bickels. She keeps coming up because she is a blue-eyed blonde bodybuilder who remains quite popular.

Lisa Bickels 1
The last info I saw on Lisa suggested she was studying for a BS in nursing, was working as a licensed sports nutritionist and certified personal trainer, and bartending at a club in Las Vegas Nevada. Try mixing all that in with training, and you have one seriously busy life.

Lisa’s first competition was in 2002, but before that she participated in a wide variety of activites. Softball, volleyball, basketball, and even a sprinter in track and field.

Casey Brocato

Casey Brocato is a smoldering hot brunette figure competitor from Bossier City, Louisiana. I haven’t found very much biographical info on Casey, but her 2010 and 2009 contest record is below. Casey has a very pretty face, perfect hair, and a mature, well-muscled physique with great proportions and depth. She loves posing, whether it’s on the stage for judges and fans or for the camera.

Maegan Swain

Maegan Swain is an NPC Figure competitor. She is 24 years old and lives in California. I’ve seen her looking muscular and normal, ripped up in competition shape, and everywhere in between. No matter what, she always seems to look stunning, cute, sultry, everything all at once. Which reminds me, I think I’ve seen her as both a blonde and a brunette.

Maegan’s trademark so to speak is a big tattoo on her right side. I certainly don’t find it offensive or distasteful, but I often wonder how tattoos affect competitors in figure, fitness, and bodybuilding competitions. I wonder if it distracts the judges, or can polarize judges who like or dislike tattoos in general.

Clenet Vaughn

After stumbling across this gorgeous bikini competitor Clenet Vaughn, we were eager to post up a profile for her here on FBB. No such luck, finding information on her is very difficult. It looks like she has competed in several contests in the last few years, most in the 5’5″ tall class:

2010 NPC USA Championships (Bikini)
2009 Excalibur Championships (Bikini)
2009 NPC Sacramento (Bikini)

Brandy Leaver

Twenty-seven year old Brandy Leaver was born in Hawaii and works in retail when she’s not busy with acting and modeling gigs. She’s been athletic since she was born, involved in surfing, dancing, wrestling, boxing, and horseback riding. Brandy has a daughter, although her body certainly doesn’t look like it. She was one of the top finalists in a Hawaiian Tropic USA International modeling competition, and was also on a reality show at one point.

As you can see, Brandy is curvy…

Leila Shennib

Leila Shennib is a fitness model from California. Sometimes profiling fit babes makes us feel a little bit like gossip columnists. We try to keep it factual, relevant, and offer our personal opinion and observation as commentary, leaving speculation, politics, and drama for other websites. But dang, sometimes you just can’t help it. Like the rumor that Leila Shennib is Jose Canseco’s girlfriend. The attached photo seems to indicated this is factual! Leila is 23 while Jose I think is 45.

Leila has a very modelesque body at 5’7″ tall and 32D-24-35 measurements. Very lean and lightly muscled, Leila’s background is in gymnastics.

Taylor Waldrop

As a child, Taylor Waldrop was transplanted to Colorado after being born in Texas. She dabbled in fitness before trying her first figure competition back in 2006. She earned her pro card when she won her height class at the 2009 USA Championships. I’ve heard she was a Lingerie Football League player for the Denver Dream, but I have zero information or confirmation of that.

Ice Skating Babes

We introduced a few ice skating babes in our Winter Olympics post a few months ago. Here we are in the dog days of summer sweating ourselves silly, and the thought of doing a little ice skating seems very appealing! So let’s go ahead and break slightly from tradition to check out 3 of our favorite skaters… Kristi Yamaguchi, Michelle Kwan, and the very retired Katarina Witt.
