Attack of the 50 Foot Hardbodies

Playground-05-Arch_phixrNEW FROM AREA ORION!

If giant muscle women appeared on Earth, how would they stay in shape? The latest series from Area Orion called “The Playground” might shed some light.

The Giantess goes back to the classic film “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” and Area Orion is giving it a new spin with female bodybuilders and fitness models. Famous landmarks might need major repair after we’re done with them.

Fantasy Muscle: Power Girl

DC Comic’s Power Girl is a buff, busty and blonde superhero popular with female muscle fans. Born Kara Zor-L on the planet Krypton, she first appeared in All Star Comics #58 in 1976. Kara is the Kryptonian cousin to the Golden Age Superman and possesses the same strengths and abilities. She is essentially Supergirl of an alternate Universe, just more… developed.

On Earth-Two, Clark Kent and his wife Lois adopted Kara after she landed on Earth to help her adjust to life. She soon began her superhero career, but sought to distance herself from Superman’s identity. She took the name Power Girl and created her own distinctive costume, replacing the iconic “S” with a hole. Kara created the secret identity of computer programmer Karen Starr to help her adapt to life on Earth. She became a member of various superhero teams and started her own software company StarrWare, Inc.

In 1985, DC Comics wanted to clean up Superman’s long convoluted history with the series Crisis on Infinite Earth’s. Superman once again became the sole survivor of Krypton and Power Girl’s history had to change. Earth-Two was gone and Kara was told she was actually the infant granddaughter of a mage from ancient Atlantis. Thankfully, DC’s 2005 series Infinite Crisis restored her status as a survivor from Krypton.

Power Girl is currently a member of the Justice Society of America and appears in her own solo title. You can see more of Power Girl at your local comic book store.

Fantasy Muscle: Lift and Carry

The fantasy world of female muscle is no stranger to the odd and weird. Another such addition is Lift and Carry, a fetish where someone is aroused by being lifted and carried away, most often by a woman. She doesn’t need to be a bodybuilder or powerlifter, just strong enough to carry the weight of a full grown man.

So what is the turn on with Lift and Carry? To many, it can be harmless fun or even part of foreplay. Some like the helpless feeling of domination by a powerful woman with no control. Others like the difference in size and enjoy the feeling of having the women struggle beneath their weight.

There are various types of lifts popular to L&C. Piggy-back rides, shoulder rides, over-the-shoulder carries, pony & donkey rides and Fireman’s carry are just a few. These obviously depend on the strength of the woman and weight of the man to pull off successfully.

Some bodybuilders and strong women offer private Lift and Carry sessions as a way to supplement their income. Lift Goddess is one such professional, a Lift and Carry dominatrix who can lift a 250 lb man while wearing stilettos. She is a naturally strong athlete, former Las Vegas Showgirl and classically trained dancer. A one hour sessions runs $400 plus a $100 booking fee. She describes the experience as “You will be lifted born upon the wings of my superior strength. I may carry you in my arms like a child. And you will wonder… am I your Protector, or are you my prey?”

Many men are embarrassed to have this fetish, feeling the gender role reversal makes them appear weak. Fortunate for them, there are websites, videos, stories, forums and even porn for Lift and Carry where fans can live out there fantasies in private.

Bigger is Always Better

Many of you grew up aching for the girl next door to come over and toss your around like a rag doll. Or for your teacher to wear a high heels so you could see her calves flex as she walked. My how those formative years made you into the man that you are today; a female muscle lover who just can’t get enough of an innocent flex. In fact, you’ll go out of your way just in the hopes of catching a little muscle flash. I’ve had guys follow me around the grocery store, nonchalantly shopping, turning away every time I’d look up to catch them trying to sneak a peak at my legs, arms, and shoulders.

It’s ok guys, absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. A lot of men are turned on by muscular women. But you’re not just turned on by it, are you? No, you’re addicted to it and you can’t get enough. Every time you see a woman with muscles, you wonder what she could do to you, how much she can lift, and how big her biceps are. You recall those times that the girl next door, threw you to the ground and held you there until you told her she was stronger than you. 30 years later, you need more and more size, power, and strength to fuel this addiction. It’s like a drug controlling you, you have to have it.

Face it! Size matters, and BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER!

Artist Spotlight on IHCOYC XPICTOC


Female muscle artist IHCOYC XPICTOC portrayed strong women in fantasy and bondage situations. His images have strong lines in an almost stained-glass style that suggest the subject “breaking-free”. He says “the real thrill is to see them struggling but ultimately overcoming the villainous situations they find themselves in... So naturally, my heroines have to be super strong.”

Wherever did you come up with the handle IHCOYC XPICTOC?
There is a well known fantasy artist called Chris(tos) Achilleos.  This is Greek for “Christ Achilles.”  The handle was originally a tribute to him. “IHCOYC XPICTOC” is also another way to spell Yezukriis, the villain from my Unlimited Adventures creations.

How did you get started drawing?
Some years ago, there was a computer game called Unlimited Adventures, which allowed you to create and edit Advanced Dungeons and Dragons™ computer roleplaying games.  You could add your own pictures to the game.  I started drawing so that I could add my own pictures to these games.  The games I created are called The Curse of Yezukriis; Yezukriis II: Goosed by the Geas; Yezukriis III: Lifestyles of the Lich and Famous; Yezukriis IV: Scandal at Guano Gate; and Masters of the Universe: The Smell of Fear.

Buff Blondes Have the Most Fun

Thanks to our good friend Area Orion and his off-the-hook imagination. By chance the theme of his creativity this month is blondes. But not just any blondes, the biggest, the buffest and the baddest blondes you’re ever going to see.

Move over blondes with big boobs, cuz we’ve got blondes with big biceps, big quads, big lats and big shoulders. If more blondes looked like these, there definitely wouldn’t be any blonde jokes. Ok, well maybe a couple, but definitely never said in front of these blondes.

I know that once you see this gallery, you’re going to be fixated on it for a while. So if you’re operating heavy machinery or in a situation that requires your utmost attention, you may want to view this in moderation. Can’t have you tripping over your own tongue at work or definitely not in front of your significant other.

Hidden Obsessions & Female Muscle

It seems that many people that love female bodybuilders keep it hush hush in their public lives. These private admirers sift through female muscle related websites and forums, afraid to let the outside world know. Why is that?

The internet has created a new culture where anyone can anonymously find and access information on any interest or fetish. A sort of digital Peeping Tom arose or … the Lurker. Lurkers are common in internet culture and research indicates that they “make up over 90% of online groups” (Nonnecke & Preece 2000). I would guess the number amongst female muscle fans is even higher. Here may be a few reasons why.

MSNBC recently did a story on how Cultural images influence our perception of attractiveness. It cites an article in Psychological Science that says what we think is attractive, or beautiful, is whatever requires the least amount of effort. Basically whatever is easiest and familiar. “What you like is a function of what your mind has been trained on,” says Piotr Winkielman of the University of California at San Diego.

I’ve seen many blogs cite female bodybuilders as “horrifying” or “freaks” yet they show photo after photo. One writer called them “vomit-inducing” which “inspired me to create this collection of horribly unattractive muscular women.” The photo shown was beautiful Lenda Murray with the tag ‘ugly women’. Another writes, “Female bodybuilders are like futuristic cyborg soldiers sent to Earth to scare the complete sh*t out of grown men, children and small animals.” We get the point. The general media doesn’t think women with muscle are attractive… or secretly do they? Why go to all the trouble of lambasting these women.

An article from Asylum.com rates Female Bodybuilders as the #1 type of woman that men secretly lust over. They say “Sexual attraction is a mystical voodoo, and we often secretly want to be with those whose body types and personalities that are not considered ideal — and sometimes those that are considered taboo.” So are women with muscles taboo?

A taboo is a social prohibition created by society. Even if female bodybuilder physiques are privately admired by men and women, many still judge them publicly. Female bodybuilders receive comments ranging from ‘she looks like a man’ to ‘she could bench press me’. Bodybuilder Kristi Bruce says, “I don’t want to look like a man. I want to look like a powerful version of myself.” Well said, and I’m sure the thought of most female bodybuilders.

Fantasy Muscle: Artist Spotlight on Joe Jusko

Joe Jusko is among the top Fantasy, Pin-up and Comic artists in the world. He is known for his realistic and highly detailed paintings in and out of the comic book industry.

Joe was born on September 1, 1959 on the lower east side of New York City. He began drawing early in life, inspired by his brother and a love of comic books. He drew constantly, saying “All my friends were out playing baseball and football, but I just couldn’t keep from drawing.” He was accepted into the prestigious High School of Art & Design in NYC, the only high school in the country focused on careers in commercial art. By graduation his work showed professionalism, polish and he won the DC Comics Award of Excellence in Cartooning.

Instead of College, Joe began a five month apprenticeship with artist Howard Chaykin. This led the 18 year old to selling his first painted cover to Heavy Metal Magazine. “I would have given them the cover to print”, laughs Jusko, “but I gladly accepted the $250.00 they paid me!” After a few more covers, he gained the courage to contact Marvel Comics. They gave him a shot which started a relationship that lasts to this day.

in the early days, there wasn’t enough of work to support Jusko as a full time artist. For several years, he worked as a NYC Police Officer in the South Bronx. He loved it and while the diversity and action was exhilarating, he ultimately knew that art was his true calling. After that, his career began to take off.

Jusko went on to create hundreds of images for almost every major comic book publisher. His work has appeared on book covers, calendars, posters, t-shirts and toy packaging. He also worked with ad agencies on storyboards and campaigns such as the WWF’s Wrestlemania VII. He had a long run as cover artist for The Savage Sword of Conan and has painted every major Marvel character. With his multi-award winning paintings for the Marvel Masterpieces Trading Cards, Jusko has been credited with starting a trading card boom in the 1990′s. This led to his groundbreaking and prolific art of Edgar Rice Burroughs, creating art based on every major book by the famed author.

Jusko has earned countless awards and honors and continues to work. His recent graphic novel, based on Lara Croft, won a Certificate of Merit from the prestigious Society of Illustrators. His original paintings are held in collections worldwide and the book “Art of Joe Jusko” was released in 2009 to rave reviews. He says, “When I consider where I come from, and how few people actually get to live their childhood dream in their adult life, I feel nothing if not fortunate and very, very blessed.”
