umm..what part of the EC is female bodybuilding a sucess..I vacation in Trini, Barbados and other islands....and women with muscle are mocked and rightfully so.
There are 40 odd island here, and we range. Same as Europe is different; England is different from Russia..same here. Different langauges, laws and lives. Plus, I've lived here for 25 odd years, and work within the bb fed so am familiar with it. With all due respect, that is way different from vacationing.
Both Bajan and Trini women get more than their American counterparts, far. Their national female bodybuilding class winners get all expenses paid for competition for one; international flights, hotels, even transportation. A US winner of female bb gets a plastic trophy, that is a huge difference right there. Also, they will get mainstream news coverage should they do well. They, like me, are subject to drug testing, which makes the entire look different in general. We simply do not have the look that many others do, as drug use is far less prevalent.
