Introducing Sarah Pawlicki - figure competitor
 Sarah Pawlicki
Hi! my name is Sarah Pawlicki. I began competing in Fugure competitions in 2005, thirteen months after I had my daughter Faith. My goal was always to come back from pregnancy and proove that I could get my body back and I did!

I won my first Figure compeition, taking not only first, but overall as well! This year I made the leap to Nationals competiing in the NY Team Universe and the USA's in Vegas. I did well for my first year competing nationally! I know what I have to do for next year and am actively pursuing success in the spring of next year! I also run an online training sight,
buildyourownbody.com and have invented a new piece of equipment. The Spider ball is about to become the new face of fitness! The patent is pending and we can't wait to get it out to the world! Thanks for your attention.

A new up-and-coming female bodybuilder to look out for is Jersey girl Claudia Morales. Claudia recently won the heavyweights and overall at the 2006 Excalibur in Bridgewater, N.J. - her first ever bodybuilding show.

Claudia, who is 28 years-old and 5-foot-7 and 148 pounds in contest shape, has two pretty illustrious training partners - national-level competitors Elena Seiple and Heather Lee. “Being able to see them and train with them was an incredible motivation to push myself harder than I had before,” she says. “It gave me something to strive to and compete against, which I couldn’t do training mostly with men.”

Claudia plans on making her national-level debut at Junior Nationals next summer.

Virgin Mobile ringtone commercial shoot

Look out for the Virgin Mobile ringtone commercial featuring five top female bodybuilders – Lisa Aukland, Heather Foster, Colette Nelson, Lena Squarciafico-Sanchez and Elena Seiple - which is being shown on MTV right now!

The commercial, which was filmed in New York at the beginning of August, will be aired leading up to the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards on August 31. In the commercial, the five women - each representing one of the finalists in the ringtone of the year award - compete in a beauty pageant. They are all wearing bikinis and a sash with the name of the ring tone they represented (Elena was “Grillz” by Nelly, Heather was “Ms. New Booty by Bubba Sparxxx and Colette was "Gold Digger" by Kanye West).

All five of the women took time out from their contest prep to shoot the commercial. Lisa is getting ready for the Olympia, Colette and Heather were prepping for the Europa, Lena for North Americans, and Elena was getting ready for a strongwoman event in Poland and Nationals in November (luckily, there was a chef on the set who cooked whatever they needed!).

Lisa says it was great fun to do and will be positive exposure for women’s bodybuilding. “I still can't believe we did this!” she says.

"My name is Hedy Melamed and I am a casting director at FOX. I am currently looking for a dynamic body building mom for Fox's hit show "Trading Spouses." Couples need to be legally married and all children need to be above the age of six years old.

If you are not familiar with the show, it's a family oriented show that highlights various cultures and lifestyles of families across America.It's been compared to a "foreign exchange student program" for parents. It's aonce in a lifetime experience that is fun, educational and profitable. At the end of the seven-day shoot, each family will receive $50,000!

I am on a deadline, so if you know of one, can you please have them call me right away, they can ask for "Hedy" at (323) 802-0609 or they can email me HedyM@rocketsciencelabs.com.

Also check out www.fox.com and click on the Trading Spouses icon for more information.

MY BEST REGARDS,
