....over Cory Everson?
There hasn't been a female bodybuilder past or present who could touch Cory.
Even when she dieted down, she kept her beauty and feminine quality.
Most female bodybuilders look like starved greyhounds when they finally step on stage.

Yes, the consensus is that the likes of Rachel, Cory, Gladys, Marja, and Anja were the best FBBers with the fleeting Ms. Olympia's "sexy/feminine look" of the 80's before, sadly, the encroaching "virilized look" of the 90's took over.
Of course, the reason pro. IFBB FBB competition went "into the virilized shiiter" is because the contest judges, promoters, and the wonderful "laugh all the way to the bank" Weiders strongly pushed awarding the Ms. Olympia's top prizes to the FBBers who would come in progressively "bigger and tighter" every year! It's a no-brainer to realize that the ONLY way a woman's body can do this is with aid of AAS/GH.
As the result, the FBB contest judges/promoters/Weiders helped kill FBB as an appealing-to-the-general-public competitive event as the "she-he" first-place look evolved and developed (e.g. Ellen Van Maris to Kim Chevisky and, finally, Iris Kyle).
Place the blame of the demise of pro. female BB on the shoulders of those it FIRMLY belongs...the IFBB judges and promoters and the Weiders!! With the advent of fitness and figure competition, FBB was "boxed-in" and had nowhere to go!
