NORTHWEST NATURAL 2014

Finally, some pictures came in from the competition in Boise! I decided to step on stage after several years and give it a go and had a wonderful time! I placed 7th, not bad considering I'll be fifty this year. There was no breakdown as far as age categories went, all Figure Pro's. I had such a great time!!!

There was never a dull moment. I hopped into a taxi upon arrival, and discovered the driver spoke very little English, had no GPS, and when I showed him the hotel address, he shook his head indicating he had no idea where it was, and asked me to call and get directions!!! True story. LMBO!!!!!

I took another cab later to my polygraph test, only to discover I left my phone in the cab 20 minutes after I was dropped off. I passed the poly, and must have done a good job because the tester himself offered me his son's 13th birthday present to use (his birthday wasn't for another week), it was an iphone 5. Meanwhile, my cell cruised around Boise for a few hours... until the nice driver hand delivered it back to the hotel.

Fast forward another few hours, where I got my spray paint, I mean tan, lol, and am too embarrassed to tell you the condition in which I rode home. Chalk it all up to CRAZY!

I met some fantastic people. The most amazing tanning EVER was done by Sun Envy!! Never have I seen such a crew that was so on top of things! Dena (the owner), is truly a Rock Star! This woman has everything down to a fine art. I wouldn't use anyone else but Sun Envy. 

You'd think I'd spend most of my time socializing with competitors, but due to circumstances, I found myself spending more time with the cabby's, maid's, testers, and spray tanners. I'll tell you, there's an interesting and/or amazing story behind everyone you meet!

Thank you!!! to my family and friends, and for all their support!!! A huge shout out to Atomic Designs for a stunning suit!!!! The color was perfect, stone work so beautiful, intricate design, and the best of all perfect fit! No bikini bite!
Thanks M.J.! Wouldn't go anywhere else. :)
