Female bodybuilders in all their glory Dec 04, 2008 at 12:01
I have been close to bodybuilders before, both male and female. When we were working on the Tough Edition of Lifelounge Magazine, Daniel Pollock and I flew up to Queensland and covered the IFBB that was on at the time. I was simply blown away with how surreal these guys and girls looked. We got up close and personal with Vince Taylor for an interview, and to be honest, his arms are the same width as my thighs, and I'm no fairy. It freaked me out.

So it is with much interest that I see Martin Schoeller has decided to shoot the majestic creatures in all their glory. Female bodybuilders are even more startling than their male counterparts because they take you by surprise. On one hand you re supposed to be attracted to them, on the other you are repulsed. They are so masculine in their appearance that it is just confusing.

Grab his book at Pond Press or Amazon, what a talking point on your coffee table.

Great images nonetheless.

Outrageous. I love how they're attempting to be completely masculine and completely feminine all at once. Meanwhile, say hello to the maroon velveteen bikini! Ooh la.
