1999 North Texas/SW USA Bodybuilding (Miscellaneous)
By -Jabber


Miscellaneous:

At these level shows, you don't get nearly as many "celebrities" in the
audience, so I don't have too much to say here (a -jabber first :-) ).  One
of the guest posers this evening was Tom Prince, who recently came in 10th
at the Night of Champions (a show I never see 'cause of thems only being
males on stage).  Of note, he was 270 lbs and had huge legs.  I could've
sworn his first name was spelled Toghm, not Tom, because there's GOT to be
"GH" in there somewhere. :-)

Not to make fun of him, gotta luvs this, the sole male teenage competitor
(remember when they had teen women?  Those were the days my friend...), came
on stage, of course winning, having no competition.  The MC asked him to do
his posing routine anyway.  An audience member from the front whispered to
the young male "socks".  So he quickly removed one sock, but didn't have
time to remove the other, so did his posing routine with one sock on.  Eat
your heart out, Michael Jackson!

Also in the audience were some Texas mainstays, Deshay Ebert (who is
promoting the NPC Jr. Nationals in San Antonio on 6/19), the truly massive
Betty Pariso - who I always think looks better in the off-season as her size
is her best attribute, Vicki Gates (I heard she's doing real well in
competitions nowadays :-) ), and evidently Sheilahe Brown (who Tex took a
picture of, but missed the scrutinizing eye of the -jabber).  Also, Valerie
Tyree was there (you may recall I posted a bunch of pics of her a couple
weeks back), looking massive, classy, and cute at the same time (she chose
to wear the same dress as depicted in the pics I'd taken of her earlier).

Who else?  That's about all I can recall at this juncture.  Until next
time...
