I have done write ups on the gorgeous Tianna Ta on several of my blogs.

I did one or two back when she was "just" a model over at my Beautiful Asian Women blog, and when she started competing, I did a write up on her at my Asian Fitness Women blog.

But now that she is a full blown IFBB Bikini Pro, I thought I would add her here.

Here is a lady that you may be seeing a lot of in the future.

She's Kira Forster, a 27 year old, five foot seven 130 pound fitness model and fitness competitor from Canada.

Why do I think she will get popular?

Well Kira is also a female wrestler who's ring name is Taya Valkyrie.

And "Taya Valkyrie" has just been signed to a WWE contract.

So that means that down the road, she could be one of the next big Divas.

2003 ABBA Southern Alberta Championships -13th Fitness Tall

Betsy McNally Harris

When most people first see a picture of IFBB Fitness pro, ISSA certified sports nutritionist and personal trainer Betsy McNally Harris, the first thing that usually crosses their minds is "Killer legs!

And I don't think anyone can argue with that.

Betsy is the daughter of retired NFL offensive line coach, Jim McNally and before fitness, she spent twelve years as a competitive gymnast.

Betsy is one of those women that can go from lean (as in the picture above) to bulked up and still look amazing.

I have been doing a lot of fitness models lately, so here's a lady with some real size to her, IFBB Figure Competitor Heather Dees.
I did a write up on Heather a while back on my other female fitness blog, but hey, she's good enough for two entries right?
While Heather does have some size as I said before, this five foot five, 133 pound fitness beauty also has the sleekness that harkens back to ladies like Cory Everson.



It's hard to get just the right blend, but Heather does it.

Heather Dees TopForm Athlete Works out Arms

Brittany Beede - Jamie Keyes - Fitness Model

If you keep up with WWE wrestling at all, you may have seen the stunning fitness model Brittany Beede on the third season of NXT as Jamie Keyes.
When I first saw her I thought, "You know Aksana is a former bodybuilder, fitness model and personal trainer, but Jamie looks way more cut-up than she does."
I just knew she was gonna be at least in the finals with that physique, but she was the very first Diva to be eliminated from the competition.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but they rigged this too?
How do I know it was rigged?
Well just look at her!



Tell me she would have not made a great WWE Diva given the training.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, she already did have a little training.

Brittany started out as a kid with gymnastics, dance, tennis, volleyball, boxing, track and field, karate, weightlifting and cheer leading.
Yes boxing and karate, she already had a martial arts background.

Then she became a model as she worked her way through nursing school.
Wrestlicious saw her first and wanted her as their ring announcer (again...let her wrestle!)
But then oddly enough she showed up not in Wrestlicious, but TNA managing Kevin Nash at the 2009 Final Resolution pay-per-view.
Then WWE saw her pics at Wrestlicious and signed her.
I'm guessing John Laurinaitis saw her.

This led to her begin trained as a wrestler by Steve Keirn and her showing up on FCW and NXT.
But like I said, she was the first Diva eliminated.

But forget wrestling, this lady could be a real threat in IFBB Figure or IFBB Bikini either one.
Maybe she could pull an Aksana, win a bunch of competitions and have the WWE come crawling back to her.

She appeared in Power Corps. (2004) and did stunt work in Recon 2023: The Gauda Prime Conspiracy (2009).
And she does a really good Lara Croft.



In her very first 2008 FAME show, she came in second in the bikini division and finished fourth in fitness model.
That was with hardly any training.
She went back and trained for a little over a year and won the FAME World Championships and got her FAME pro card.

This is IFPA Figure Pro Cathy Cole.
In case you are not familiar with IFPA, it's the International Fitness and Physique Association that sponsors professional level natural competition.

Well at least I have read that she was a IFPA Figure Pro.
I went to the IFPA and couldn't find a thing on her.
Maybe she is just no longer competing.



Either way, finding any info on her is like looking for Bigfoot.
I got some pictures...but no real proof.

This is one of those things I hate about doing this blog.
I ran across a picture of Savannah Rose on Tumbler and I can't find a thing about her other than pictures.
I say "Fitness Model" in the title because she is fit and she looks like a model.
But that's about all I have to go on.
All I could find were a few pics from around the web, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her soon.

I just finished doing a write up on the 2011 IFBB Figure Pros (like I did with the IFBB Bikini Pros) and in doing that write up, one woman stood out over all the others.
That woman is certified personal trainer and fitness and figure competitor Nicole Wilkins.
Yeah I know I just did a write up on her in January, but this five foot seven, 144 pound fitness beauty stood head and shoulders above the rest.
In 2011 she competed four times, and she came in first place in all four contests.
And two of them were the biggest contests in the world, the Arnold Classic (Arnold Fitness Weekend) and the Olympia (Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend).
This is the second time Nicole has won the Figure International and the second time she won the Figure Olympia (though not in a row, Erin Stern won last year).
