FEMFLEX Kim Kilper Bright Smile, Big Guns Abstract Actual SCREEN TIME: 66 minutes $/MINUTE: $.53/minute PRODUCED in: 2004 GENRE: Femuscle Posing Video FORMATS available: DVD only COST: $35 CAST: Kimberly Kilper, a 24 year old bodybuilder and elementary school teacher, burst on to the FBB scene in 2004. A former high school cheerleader, Ms. Kilper has wholesome-girl-next-door beauty along with incredible feminine features and a round, full, impressive muscularity. This appealing combination caught the eye of femuscle photogs at the 2004 Jr. Nationals as she worked with Femflex, HerBiceps, Boomerflex, FTV Video, et al. An all-around athlete, Kim competed in volleyball, soccer, and track in high school and began weight-training at the age of 12. She entered her first competition at 18 and won the overall championship. She has placed first in every other regional show in which she's competed since that first win. Kimberly was the 2000 Teen/Collegiate Nationals and 2003 Missouri State Champion. She placed 9th at the 2001 Junior Nationals, her first foray into national competition, and placed 8th in a very competitive heavyweight class at the 2004 Junior Nationals. Ms. Kilper possesses beauty AND brawn. At 5'4" and 140 pounds in contest shape (160 lbs. offseason), Kim has 15" biceps, 17" calves, can curl an 80 lbs. dumbbell for 8 reps. However, I should say she possesses beauty, brawn, AND brains. Kim has a masters degree in elementary education. So, not only is Kimberly attractive, fit, and strong, she can carry on an interesting conversation regarding our President's belief standardized testing is the only method of measuring academic success...among other topics, I'm sure. This lovely school marm's stated goal is to "have muscles and make them attractive, appealing". "Bright Smile, Big Biceps" allows the fan of feminine muscle to judge for themselves whether she's been successful in achieving that goal. I believe all will agree she has been VERY successful. COSTUME DESIGN Ms. Kilper dons an assortment of form-fitting, curve hugging sleeveless tops--leg wear is superfluous in "Bright Smile, Big Biceps". Her attire is clearly intended to emphasize her significant femininity and provide unimpeded views of Ms. Kilper's very-view-worthy arms, shoulders and chest. All, of course, without venturing into anything TOO revealing. The School Board might frown on anything more. Hell, the male Board Members might wish she went a bit further. ;-) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FEMFLEX "Bright Smile, Big Guns" "Bright Smile, Big Guns", shot entirely in-studio, opens with Ms. Kilper posing in a tight-tight sleeveless black top and jeans to a groovy techno-tune. Set in the upscale surroundings of the FEMFLEX Las Vegas "Muscle Mansion", this first segment initiates the singular focus of this DVD. As the title indicates, Kim flexes her gorgeous biceps, forearms, and triceps almost exclusively--all with a sweet, sincere, fun-loving smile. Mr. FEMFLEX, Tre' Scott, keeps the camera on his muscular model's superb upper body. In more than seven and a half minutes, the viewer sees perhaps ten seconds of Kim's waist, hips, and legs. Conversely, Kimberly flexes approximately 120 times in this segment alone, all examined via close-up and super-close-up shots from nicely varied angles. Those fans familiar with Ms. Kilper's internet work will realize "Bright Smile, Big Guns" was shot a few weeks after the 2004 Junior Nationals. So this muscular school marm is not in contest condition. Those who prefer their FBBs hard and vascular might be a bit disappointed, but this reviewer found her semi-offseason look to be very appealing. Her muscles are fuller, bigger, but still with nice cuts and definition. And her "chest" is even more spectacular, a fact the FEMFLEX cameras do NOT ignore. Scene 2 fades-in to find Kim in the Muscle Mansion den wearing a black- red-and-white striped sleeveless V-neck top and tight black slacks. Again, Ms. Kilper's upper body development is the sole focus. What an upper body to focus on! As a soft female voice croons to a piano-tune, Kim flexes those amazing arms and chest approximately 220 times in less than eight minutes. That's 32 flexes per minute! And for the first time the poses reveal Kimberly's cavernous cleavage, as she poses in the kitchen. Mmmmmm. Any veteran femuscle video fan knows many women look somewhat uncomfortable when the camera points out their feminine pectoral fullness. Not Ms. Kilper. She proudly hits side chest shots that press her "pecs" together, forming massive, marvelous mounds of womanhood. Any man should react to viewing these poses with involuntary Pavlovian drool. As fans wipe saliva away, Kimberly appears for the third scene in a clingy leopard-print top and gladiatrix-pleated jean skirt standing on the the Muscle Mansion stairs. Again, she exhibits her extremely full (an estimated 38DD) femininity to soft female pop vocal stylings before flexing her big, round, peaked biceps repeatedly from every angle possible--the theme has been established. Throughout this eight minute, scintillating segment of beautificent, super-close-up captured biceps posing, this fan couldn't help thinking the male teachers at Kim's school must find excuses daily to "innocently" join Ms. Kilper in the teacher's lounge to ostensibly share the day's events--not to mention the janitor's choosing times when Kim's there to empty the trash. However, in an astounding departure from thematic mandates, the FEMFLEX cameras suddenly drop below Kim's waistline for almost two minutes to examine her big, well-sculpted calves and strong- looking quads, before flexing her beefy biceps as the scene closes. With the lower body work out of the way, the exquisite educator returns for the next segment clad in a very tight red sleeveless V-neck top and gladiatrix skirt. In fact, that top is SO form-fitting, the chilliness of the Muscle Mansion environs are made pointedly clear throughout this segment. She poses to an R & B cover of "Baby, Baby, I'm Fallin' in Love" in the Muscle Mansion game room and appears to assume a more sensual, serious-yet-smiling attitude. This segment is congruent with Tre's upper body theme, but focuses even more on Kim's big, bountiful, bodacious breasts. In this top, it is impossible for the viewer to miss her perfect pectoral protrusions, their lucsious Amazonian proportions dominating almost every shot. About midway through this almost 12 minute segment, Ms. Kilper begins posing, still in the Muscle Mansion den, in front of a big screen TV with FEMFLEX's "High Velocity" (ref. my reivew of this DVD), featuring Mindi O'Brien, on screen behind her. Coupled with the transition to a female pop vocal "These are the things about you...", this combination of Kim's incredible muscularity and Mindi's muscles as she does gym work provide never-before-seen and very intriguing comparisons. This FEMFLEX creativity and the beauty of both women makes this my favorite segment of the entire DVD! Mmmmm. IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE...it's SUPERKIM! Faster than a speeding bullet, our super-heroine enters the Muscle Mansion game room in a "Supergirl" T-back sports bra and short-short Kryptonian shorts. Flexing her big, peaked biceps as a warning to all no-gooders, Mindi posing behind her on a large TV, SuperKim deters evil-doers by showing off her exceptional physique. Lots of close-up and super-close-up shots give the criminal element pause, SuperKim's bulging muscles contracting with awsome, super-power. She proudly looks at her biceps, admiring their full shapes, hard peaks, often employing the patented change-of-pace...the FEMFLEX twist- n-flex. As a bonus, the viewer is treated to brief shots of Kim's semi- offseason, but flat, hard abs. But again, unbelievable side chest shots confirm the muscular school marm's status as a superior example of womanhood. Somehow SuperKim never goes away...In her final costume change, Ms. Kilper flexes her way into the next segment adorned in yet another tight red top and low slung black slacks. Of all Kim's form-fitting tops, this one is the tightest, her significant symobls of femininity testing the limits of the thin fabric. Posing proudly to a poppy-yet-edgy female vocal, Kimberly hits side tri, side chest, and biceps shots that gloriously highlight the extreme convexity of her chest. Mr. Scott even allows the viewer a brief glimpse of Ms. K's hard, tight glutes. At the ten minute mark of this segment, Kim re-appears in the same outfit posing in front of faux-panelled wall. Though she is undeniably very appealing, the constant upper body flexing gets a bit repetive, even for a diehard fan. Yet, there's not question Ms. Kilper continues give the viewer an up-close-and-personal look at her fabulous body. Again, her biceps are examined from every possible angle: front, back, lowered, from above, from below, from the side, long, close, super-close, etc. And she looks terrific in every shot. Her sublime "Pecage" isn't ignored either. Mmmmm. A four minute interview segment is rather roughly tacked on to "The End" of "Bright Smile, Big Guns". After telling her viewers she can dumbbell curl 80 pounds for 8 reps, Kim recounts posing her muscles at school for an anatomy lesson and how she let the male science teacher win an arwrasslin' match. I couldn't help thinking how I wouldn't have missed a single day of school; how I would have paid attention to the teacher ALL the time; and how I would have tried to trick her into flexing as often as possible--in other words, all the time--if I'd had a teacher the likes of SuperKim. Hell, I have a schoolboy crush at 48! "Bright Smile, Big Guns" ends with a 2 minute clip of Kim chatting at the "Muscle Mansion" with the lovely muscular blonde, Kim Becker. Unfortunately, there's no posing. The two Kims discuss their hometown. Still, they're definitely eye candy, as is the rest of this DVD. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FINAL EVALUATION If you are a fan of big biceps and full, firm, voluptuous femininity-- like yours truly, "Bright Smile, Big Guns" will definitely "float your boat". Her youthful, big busted beauty juxtaposed with more than 1000, that's right, more than 1000 flexes of of her big, round, peaked biceps...well, you will not be disappointed. This comely combination of upper body curves is captured from every possible angle, as Kim hits every possible pose--well, almost all of them. Superior editing keeps the flexarama moving at a crisp pace and sweet super-close-ups document Kim's gorgeousity impeccably . Special subtle shots of the incredible instructress posing before Mindi O'Brien's muscular TV image raise this DVD to "Classic" status. However, if you are a fan of big biceps, full, firm, voluptuous femininity, AND you like to see the whole model, legs included, think twice before purchasing "Bright Smile, Big Biceps" . This is an upper-body-only DVD. As with other FEMFLEX offerings, a change of pace is needed. I'm a BIG upper body fan, but even my warped mind wanders a bit with that much biceps posing. I realize DVDs such as this one are made on the run with little time to get in-depth, but a bit of variety would put "Bright Smile, Big Guns" among the best femuscle video productions of all time. Again, if you enjoy full-chested women with lots of big, round, hard, sweetly-sculpted muscles, "Bright Smile, Big Guns" is a MUST! |FINAL EVALUATION |RATIONALE |Rating...1-10 | |CASTING |Kim is the archetypal |9 | | |woman.
