the-short-one said:tomorrow morning @ 9am
pre-judging @ 1pm
night show @ 7pm
just got out of the shower and look a little better -I'll take pics again tonight. Shadow and Ilk will most likely not make it, so it's just Jeff and me. The bright side of this is that if I screw up, no one will know but me.![]()
feisty11975 said:What the? They are too busy eh? hahaha I am sorry to hear that though. I know you would love to have a cheering section there. We will all be cheering you on here though. You have your very own fans that will be eagerly awaiting your posting of the results and a pic of you holding the trophy!!![]()
Give me Jeff's cell number and I call when you on stage and start screaming GO SHORTY GOthe-short-one said:Shadow has run into some problems at work. He'll be online today, so it's not like I won't have any contact with him.

Sassy69 said:Wow that's interesting to do the pre-judge at 1 pm. Man that makes for a long day w/ no break.
You should be completely fine - stick to your eating / drinking schedule. Ice chips (but how many & size) are a big help if your mouth is silly dried out. Ask Jeff to tell you if he notices you chewing the insides of your cheeks -- because based on my own experience - that is what I am doing in almost every 'action' shot from my first show. Not that its bad -you are silly dried out - but it does look funny on stage.
And then just watch your water intake after the pre-judge cuz you aren't off the hook yet. Don't want to bloat up on for the night show. Another issue I had was that I'd gotten a stomach ache between the shows I was trying to drink coffee or something that would sort of bomb my stomach and make it pass before the night show. Didn't work so well.
Anyway you will rock the show chica! All you! Just remember you're there to show these people what they paid money for!

the-short-one said:thank you.
today, I'm taking it easy and will go over my pre-judging routine and also the qrtr turn stuff. Jeff just left to go run some errands and I'm sure to eat something really tasty. lol He doesn't want to eat in front of me.![]()

Sassy69 said:Just some last minute thoughts to make every pose count:
- abs & thighs -- blow out for everythign you're worth to show the detail of all the work on those abs
- all your rear shots -- because you are takign that wide stance, be sure to sit down / into your stance to show off your ham development. If you have it there, its something to show off because it is one of those evil estrogenic places where women have to kill to get the detail out (LMAO Unless you're hoteacher...) Even to get some shape besides just "the back of your leg" to pop will stand out to the judges.
You might spend a few minutes practicing in the mirror under good light or take pix to see how different degrees of sitting into the pose bring up more ham detail.
These are just really minute details that if you've got all the poses down & completely and mindlessly and consistently executing, spend a few minutes to see about a little bit of extra detail to see what looks best. It sometimes helps to have a recent moment spent looking at these in your mind when you get on stage and you can remember to add in that extra little detail with just a little more sittign into or whatever. (Or you may just go completely on automatic and just do it ... my mind barely registers that I'm on stage - I literally have to just let my body do what is habit.)
And if you're getting nervous some little tasks may help keep you occupied without getting bored doign your routine & the posing over & over. My suggestions above are nothing to get concerned about -- I'm just suggesting to experiment a little to see what shows up on stage best -- the poses are down tight already - this is just experimenting to see what you wear best on stage.
But do remember to enjoy it on stage. It really is a kick. The whole point is to have fun.
Oh yea, and at the final posedown when you've won your weight class and they do an overall trophy posedown, do like the guys do! Don't be polite and just stand in your little spot on stage and pose -- get up in front, regardless of who else you step in front of, take the stage cuz you own it and just show the people what they paid to see. Just seeing the women get up & do the posedown is awesome and it will get the crowd going no matter what. Give em that "YEA BABY! THAT'S MY GLUTES YOU WANT A PIECE OF! HELL YEA THEM'S MY GUNS! F* YEA BABY! CHECK OUT THIS QUADSWEEP! YOU WISH YOURS WAS THAT GOOD!"
(LOL I'm thinking the same attitude like that song "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" ...) It's all attitude!
Bummer about the video, that would have made for a perfect conclusion to this thread.the-short-one said:no video cameras - but he will have his camera in use.![]()

feisty11975 said:does his digital camera not have video capabilities? I think most do.
huge hair = you better have a good straightening iron and some smoothing cream! lol good luck again girl. I will pop on Sunday to see the results!the-short-one said:also - I woke up this morning with HUGE hair. lolol Humidity. The ocean isn't very far away.
I've seen women put it up for pre-judging and then wear it down for night show. Is this the norm, or should I jsut leave it up for both shows?
feisty11975 said:huge hair = you better have a good straightening iron and some smoothing cream! lol good luck again girl. I will pop on Sunday to see the results!
Let me say it one more time before you have that pizza and ice cream or whatever else it is that you've been craving for months...
I WANT YOUR LEGS![]()

I know this is my first show, so wasn't expecting to look like that THIS time...but next time. That's what I want.
How about those legs, eh? wow.
feisty11975 said:DAYUM!! Now thats big! what class is she in? SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT? lol
the-short-one said:ok. I think I'll probably need 1 coat of Protan. Someone give me some application tips. Do I put it on tonight, let it dry then shower?
the-short-one said:no - she probably came in a light heavy. looks huge, but in that pic, she only weighs 5 lbs more than me. lol
Sassy69 said:Protan - yes put it on like jens said -- if this is your first layer of it, mostly make sure you get a good covering of it - i.e. make sure everything is coated. Honestly I'd suggest you sleep in it w/ long sleeves / legs to let it dry completely and then take a shower in the morning. You do have an great tan already but I'd just want to make sure the protan layer isn't splotchy or has runs. It requires time to set. Then if you need to touch it up you can do it in the morning.
Do you have the base MAC makeup for your face? I personally woudlnt' suggest putting protan on your face, but if you don't make sure you don't have a line where you stop coming up to your face.
Sassy69 said:Completely different subject - this was bugging me today - I think you have to do a 60 sec no music routine in the pre-judge right? My only thought there was just to make sure you do a 3 sec count on each pose so you can control your pace. Its so easy to speed it up if you don't have the music or anythign to take your cues from.
the-short-one said:we're working on it tonight. I've been practicing the 3 second hold on all my poses. I've cut it down to bare bones for the pre-judging. Just the mandatories. IF for some reason I get nervous and speed it up, I have a continued sequence of poses to add in until they call time.
The Shadow said:Protan = yep - one coat will do it.
Stick to the instructions about first thing in the am.
That will ensure that you are dry for the am session...your conditioning will be on the money.
the pics you snet to Ilk are amazing....your abs are the best I have seen them.
The puffiness is a comnination of a couple of things:
Travel
Carbing up....
Remember when we did the sodium addition??
It takes an additional 20ish or so hours for that process to really get going, so you can expect changes by tomorrow am.
The Shadow said:AHEM....
hehehe...Like I said...your conditioning will be perfect tomorrow.
You look AMAZING Sally.

. I didn't weigh that much at home. lol I'm the heaviest - and there are only 2 girls in the heavy class. I can honestly say that I have nothing to worry about at the moment.

the-short-one said:Hey!
weigh-in took FOREVER. 9 billion figure girls. lol I weighed in at 138! holy. I didn't weigh that much at home. lol I'm the heaviest - and there are only 2 girls in the heavy class. I can honestly say that I have nothing to worry about at the moment.
That's all the bragging I'm going to do until it's in the bag.
PICS: after looking at these, Jeff and I decided we'll change my stance for the rear poses by putting my leg out to the side more than to the back (as shown in pics.) With the wider stance, the crease you see under my butt disappears completely - looks much better.
I have foundation on my face and some lipstick. that's it right now - I'm heading to the bathroom to get my makeup on right now.

speaking of pump room. they have a women's and a men's pump 'room'. I get to the women's section and they have stretch bands and 8lb weights. LOL!! I said "Hey, look at the little baby weights!" and all the figure girls gave me 'THE LOOK'. :EVIL: LOLOLOL
So, I nosed right in with the open men's group and used their weights. The other women bbers followed me over ther, and when they saw that I wasn't getting bashed about, they joined me.![]()
Sassy69 said:Um, looks like you blew away the stage...!
Jamie Lynn said:Ok I will look for you in the pump room. Did you happen to catch the older figure group? That woman (and if you saw it you know who I am talkin about) had huge cajones to get up there and do that.
