  • The Western Carolinian 14 Thursday, September 18,1986 Flex Appeal - "Pump Before You Primp" by Stephanie Crocltto Fashion Writer There is a new trend which is quickly turning into a fashion. It is the involvement of women in body building, these women are shaping up ouridealsof beauty and fashion—but how much muscle is too much? Ten years ago an athlete like Jenna de Rosnay, a well-muscled five-foot-nine, would have looked out of place next to ultra thin high fashion models, but times and body fashion have changed. While the much-publicized fitness boom of recent years may or may not have raised the general level of health in the United States, it has produced one noticeable result. Perceptionsofwhat the ideal man and woman look like are changing. Nowhere is the change more apparent than in the modeling industry, particularly with female models. Modeling agencies now place a premium on women with muscular and healthy good looks. Gone are the anorexic-looking models of the 1960's and 70's, who could never be too thin or too rich. Styles change! Women looked very different in the 1930's. Women then were much shaplier, with full figures. Later we went into a skinny period, which is out right now. The female ideal today is healthyand has more muscles. Styles have changed so much that in the last couple of years a new twist has been added to the muscular trend. Not only are models being encouraged to become more athletic- looking, but real athletes have also begun modeling. Gladys Portugues, a professional body builder, has modeling credits that include such magazines as SELF, COSMOPOLITAN, and ITALIAN VOGUE. Portugues is represented by Better Bodies, one of two Manhattan modeling agencies that specialize in well-muscled models. How much muscle is too much? Looking athletic without looking too athletic may be the secret of success. We asked one model, Sandy Davis, if her muscles interfere with her femininity, how she looks in clothing, and howothers(such as men) perceive her. She says, "I don't think that having muscles interferes with my femininity at all. If anything, lifting weights helps me feel more feminine because it gives me more confidence in myself. I don't consider myself to be a "jock", just a girl who enjoys taking care of herself by being healthy and strong. I love to dress up and feel good in the clothes I wear. A lot of my male friends lift weights and they always have encouraging words to say to me. Besides, it makes me feel better about myself and that's the best part about body-building." Should the fitness boom continue throughout the next several years, we will likely go on seeing muscular models posing for fashion magazines. So before you slip on those body-hugging clothes, remember, "Pump before you Primp". Stephanie flexing her muscles.

He's a junior Radio/TV major who comes to Western from Wilmington, N.C. He has appeared on Wilmington radio stations WMFD, WAAV and WGNI, as well as hosting "Collector's Corner" on 91 FM every Saturday afternoon at 1. "My job is to oversee the "Rock 40" parts of Power 91's programming. Our music falls under 5 categories: A1's, which are the current hits; A2's , which are the up-and-comers; Extras, newer stuff that we're just trying out; Recurrents, which are A1's that everyone's starting to get sick of; and of course the Golden Oldies." Eric says that unless someone requests a song, no song should ever be repeated more than ten times every 4.5 hours. Also, "Rock40" is a misleading term because at any given time 91 FM has over 70 current songs "in rotation." Eric says that 91 FM does not have a big enough budget to buy records. "We have to rely on the record companies to send new material. If they don't, we borrow records from people's personal collections or from other radio stations. We're pestering certain major labels to start sending records to us because we can't play them if we don't have them. Things are improving already. Atlantic and Elektra started sending us things just last week." Eric invites anyone who wants to talk about "music, radio, or whatever" to come by the station during his office hours (7-9 P.M. MWF, 9:30-10:30 AM. and 2-3 P.M. TR), or better, to come to the staff meeting at 6 P.M. every Tuesday. "Also, don't forget my Collector's Corner show this Saturday," he says. "Dr. Demento fans need to go get a 90-minute tape and be ready to record at 1 P.M. We're going to have a massive home taping session. Every comedy record you ever wanted will probably be there." "Tell everybody to keep listening!"
