The FAME European Championships Bikini Model Search winner and new FAME Pro Eva Martinkova sure knows how to maximize her exposure... at the very top. Wearing a t-shirt she prepared featuring her and the Slovakian President will actually be displayed right in the President's office! Plus this very picture (featuring Evan together with FAME Pro Rob Riches) is actually being projected onto the castle walls to celebrate her win! WOW! Congratulations Eva!
At 57 years old, artist Rene Kari believes that "Fitness isn't a Sports - Fitness is an Art Project". That is the title of his articles and the reason for his art exhibit set for NYC at age 60 featuring his masterpiece, his own body! His 'sculpture' will be unveiled revealing his paintings of erotical landscapes showcasing his body proving that with each year passing, despite your age, you can sculpt and perfect your physique counteracting the visible effects often seen when one gets older. "Just as wine gets better with age, a person's body can also become better with the passing of time" and Rene has made it his goal to prove that! For more information, visit his website www.renekari.com or read his article here.
FAME Pro Karen Riedel-Gallagher has a brand new website that just recently launched. The incredible thing is that Karen actually built it all herself! Check it out and get to really know Karen, learn about the services she provides, read some valuable tips and tricks and be awed by her amazing photos! www.fit4her.ca
You can actually meet Karen and see her clients compete at the Lyzabeth Lopez FAME Classic & Dance Championships this weekend
Ava Cowan FAME Pro Figure athlete is having an exciting run. First off she was recently shot for a 12 page layout for Ironman magazine! Watch for it August 2008. Next up, she is on the covers of both Fitness Magazine (june 2008) and Muscle Evolution magazines (in which she is featured in an 8 page spread) which are based in South Africa. Still more: Listen to her interview on LivingBeautifulRadio.com. Additionally she just wrote an article for bodybuilding.com called Motivation and Nutrition for Summer 2008, her video is featured on their home page, and finally, she can now also call herself a WNSO Judge after having been invited by fellow Pro Diana Chaloux to sit on the panel at her FAME South Central Championships this past weekend. Excellent work, Ava & welcome to the Judging Team!
See more of Ava in the ‘In The Media” section of our site!
Join us at the Ava Cowan FAME Tropical next Saturday in sunny Florida!
Watch out for one of FAME's newest Pros Luciana Pursell who will be featured in the June 2008 issue of Planet Muscle Magazine! She will be in none other than the 'Best' section where she talks about her start in the fitness industry, which just so happens to be with 'FAME'! Congratulations Luciana!
Want to see more of Luciana... Well you can... Catch her at the FAME World Championships Pro Showdown (Toronto June 13-15)
A big congratulations goes out to FAME Pro Arysta Bogner who is now engaged to her business partner, Adam; has a brand new product already attracting mass media attention (that was both their brainchild); was able to use their product, the TravelRoller to nurse her injuries to get her competition-ready; and is therefore after the FAME World Championships Pro Title! Go Arysta!
For more information on Arysta's product, please visit www.TravelRoller.com
You may recognize FAME Pro (as of this past weekend) Harry White from TV: a Lowes home improvement commercial and the Goody's Pain Relief (nationwide) commercial in which he was one of the featured model together with nascar driver Tony Stewart.
As far as being a new FAME Pro, Harry says "I truly love being a part of the FAME family of great athletes and what FAME represents! I will emulate my company's name (Superior) to present my best physique in Toronto this June!!"
Finally, FAME Pros Battle it Out... Watch for Edie Shephard, Eva Sefcova and Maci Zimmerman as they make their way to the real battle... The FAME World Championships Pro Showdown!

Contest Results & News
The Diana Chaloux FAME South Central Championships... Another Success!
Good times in sunshiny Texas where ‘Y’all” is an actual real word! Diana, her sister Linda, father and step mother created a fantastic sports and health expo that ran in the background of the stage competition. The athletes, once again, were all super friendly helping to make the weekend that much more fun. FAME Pro Ava Cowan was on hand judging, when she was not being pulled aside by photographers and fans. Great memories were created, new Pros were crowned and new friendships were formed! See Diana’s event recap here. Professional photos coming soon.
Two people who really made an impression on the judging panel were twins, Helena and Tatiana Koshman who were actually competing against each other. In the end it was Helena who pulled ahead (ever so slightly) and actually won the entire show earning herself an unprecedented advancement to Pro Status from Level 2! Check out their post-show interviews below:
Check out the clips below to meet new FAME Pros Everette Henderson and Drexel Long.
Everette received his inspiration and guidance for reigning champ Kendall Wood and Pro Washington Candido. It will definitely be interesting to watch them face each other at the FAME Worlds! Everette is also currently featured in the Pro Section of the site - so read more about him there.
Drexel is simply amazing to watch. Her personality just shines through whether she’s on stage performing her routine, speaking on camera or competing against the guys in the Posedown. Check her out... She’s one to watch!
