You are very welcome! Here is a short review on the figure classes
2007 Christine Bongiovanni NPC North Star
This show was the largest Minnesota show that I have been to so far! It was held at the Myth nightclub, (
www.mythlive.com) and very hot new venue, and interesting choice for a bodybuilding show. There were a few things that really set this show apart from the rest. One was a makeup artist available to the competitors ( Makeupdo,
www.makeupdo.com). Being a competitor myself, I found this really awesome and very convenient! There was also someone available from Jill Hammer's Studio Tan on site with competition color! These are things that are normally only available to competitors at national level competitions.
What a great turnout for the Master's Figure Class! In 5th place was Gretchen Spottke, who looked very feminine and toned, but needed to be a bit bigger, and leaner to be competitve. 4th place went to Michelle Bowman, with a great V-taper, and tiny waist. Picking up 3rd place was Kate Looby, who did a fantastic job with her presentation, especially the posing. In 2nd place was Lisa Burton with a very well put-together look. Taking the Master's class was Kelle Lease, with great shoulders and a big back.
Taking 5th place in figure class A, was Drina Escobar with a pretty smile, and lots of confidence. 4th place went to Bridget Standifer, who did some very different poses. 3rd was Sandra South, who looked great, with nice suit selections. In 2nd, was Michelle Bowman, who had nice feminie curves. 1st place went to the Master's class winner, Kelle Lease, who displayed a nice balance of symmetry, muscle and conditioning.
Figure B, in my opinion, was the most competitive class. In 5th we had Gretchen Spottke, with graceful posing and pretty green suits. 4th place went home with Bethany Halverson, who has great potential, with a nice foundation. In 3rd place was Molly Thompson, who had great shoulders, and a wide back. 2nd place went to Emmy Singer, who was confident, radiant, with good presentation. Taking the class and the overall was Rebecca Slatt, with awesome delts, beautiful overall package, gorgeous and unique suits, and flawless presentation! She was so professional on stage, and was truly an inspiration to me!
Figure Class C. In 5th place was Kathryn Veseth, who had a pretty smile, but seemed a bit light and needed more color. 4th place went home with Lisa Burton, who had nice shapes and good presentation. In 3rd place was Kate Looby, with a well polished presentation and great attention to detail, and a really nicely muscled back. 2nd was Laurel Danielson, with great shoulders, was gorgeous and looked very at home on the stage. 1st place went to Lisa Greeder, who had a beautiful smile, a very nice total package, very balanced, and lean.
