August Picture Post: Teenage Kicks

DOROTHY "BIG DOTTY" HERNDON



My first exposure to Dorothy was courtesy of Muscle Training Illustrated. I can still remember quite vividly the purchase of these two magazines. I was 14/15.




NPC USA Heavyweight and Overall Champion 1988
IFBB Pro World Championships 1989, 3rd place



Glamorous, beguiling beauty. Powerful, intoxicating muscularity.



To my teen self, Dorothy was perfection. I was helpless, she was irresistible. Lord knows how many hours I spent pouring over her pictures in these and other magazines. Lord knows how many DAYS I spent paying tribute to this goddess.



Still one of my favourite ever FBBs (see also, Size Matters: A Fantasy Contest).



The magazines have long since been disposed of, so it's only through the tireless work of the female muscle scanners that I can relive my teen dream. Heroes, one and all.



And here's a clip of Dorothy guest posing from 1988.

Get comfy and just LISTEN to that crowd reaction!



Enjoy!
