Born in Turkey, Nursel has been living in the US for many years, competing in local NYC contests and an occasional national show. She re-caught our eye as an 'off-season' spectator in the audience at a local NY show in the summer of 2000. A shoot was set up on the spot in her mind- boggling off season shape (though with abs beyond belief), then we followed up with a second session a few months later when she was leaner, though you will be hard-pressed to tell which photos came from which session!

Denise was one of our most fascinating physique models of 1998. Facially, she reminds us of Jane Fonda at a comparable age, but with 140 pounds of hard muscle well distributed on her 5'5" frame. We had two full photo/video sessions with Denise in 1998, and she was in top contest shape both times. In July our work with her was done at the time of her U.S. Championships. We did more with her a month later at the time of the Team Universe contest. Denise has great presence in front of the camera, and she hits some great shots in many eye-catching outfits. Her biceps and triceps are huge and well defined, her back is very broad and strong, and her attractive legs feature well-defined thighs and chiseled calves.

We met Diane as a spectator at the 1988 Jr USA and had our only photo/video session with her at that time. She competed locally in Georgia, where she was from, we did this session with her, and as far as we know, she dropped from the scene soon after. She was in off-season shape here, with great shapes and incredible looks, yet still had a lot of definition. We couldn't do gymwork, but she poses in bikinis and dresses, is interviewed, and there is a short clip of her taken from a TV show showing a stage routine.

Doughdee was probably the most popular woman bodybuilder who hardly ever competed ! In fact, as far as we know, she only leaned down for two contest, around 1983-1984, then built her career on her special 'look', which featured huge size and shapes in her off-season, generally between 150-180 pounds at 5'2". In addition, she had tremendous physical strength and most of the WPW tapings with her featured very impressive gymwork. We had three videos (WPW 23, 45 and 66) of Doughdee prior to this, so this is basically a 'compilation' of her best footage from those three videos. Included is Super 8 transfer from 1984, then sessions taken with real video in 1985, 1986 and two in 1987- some contest shape, but most in her famous off-season condition. Gymwork, interviews and lots of posing in bikinis and many dresses of one of the most unusual women in the sport ever.
