Women's Bodybuilding Is A $5 Billion Industry

Women's Bodybuilding Is A $5 Billion Industry - Video





Women's Bodybuilding Is A $5 Billion Industry Women's Bodybuilding is at a crossroads. At a time when more women than ever are competing in organized sports, and participating in fitness, and not fearing to show their biceps and present a strong female image, it seems the sport is under attack. The Arnold Classic stopped holding true women's bodybuilding contests. Female bodybuilders are not fairly compensated for their efforts at building their bodies. Moreover, they turn to paid website chatrooms, not out of any effort to meet their fans but for money and don't enjoy the interaction. Corporations don't flock to put their brand behind FBBs for money. The fact is all of that could change if FBBs ran themselves as a business. companies don't sports FBBs because no one approaches them with a promotional proposal. Many women sign exclusive contracts with men who take photos of them , and don't do anything else. That habit needs to stop: it's business slavery. It's harmful to the FBB, who can make more money with the wider dissemination of her image. Women with muscle can also model clothing for athletes, and do so for pay. They can make their own movies, and television and online shows, and become YouTube Partners. But, most of all, women bodybuilders have to appreciate and cultivate their fan base, and embrace the fact that they are popular because of their bodies. Rather than do that, FBBs have terms for their fans who like to look at them: schomoes. Why shame a man or woman who thinks the FBB's so worth seeing, they would pay money to do so? It's that what a contest one pays to attend is all about, anyway? Which brings me to this point: FBBs should have their own contests. I have said this for 10 years, and nothing has happened. Yes, "Women's Bodybuilding Is A $5 Billion Industry", if women want it to be. Go get it. Visit our blog Zennie62.com here: http://ift.tt/1d6iMwr

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
