AVENGERS #72

Years ago, John Byrne or Walt Simonson changed the She-Hulk character such that she was no longer able to change back and forth between Jennifer Walters and Greenie. This change remains a perpetual source of grievance among those of us who enjoy the switch.

But a few months ago, the character was drained of gamma radiation and reverted back to Jennifer, and thereafter lacked control of when she turned into the She-Hulk. In this month's issue of the Avengers, she changes quite spectacularly, and when it's done we find that she's wearing purple lace undies.

SARAH JOY BROWN

Do you remember this girl? She was the cutie with the big arms on a really bad Power Rangers rip-off called "VR Troopers". I hadn't thought of her in years, but tonight she showed up on "Karen Sisco" - it took me a few minutes to recognize her. She's still got nice arms - quite the package overall. Here's her site.

FRIENDSTER EXPLORATION

Screwing around with Friendster yesterday, I discovered that Jennifer Connelly, Natalie Portman, Elisha Cuthbert and Kate Bosworth are among the 300,000+ people in my Friendster network. Which is pretty cool, if slightly disappointing in some cases. Jennifer Connelly, for instance, mentions that she wears a locket with a picture of the Dali [sic] Lama; Kate Bosworth lists Blue Crush as being among her favorite movies.

Natalie Portman's is very incognito.

HERBICEPS UPDATES - O'BRIEN & REED

While we're on the subject of paysites (the new Altawoman video, as mentioned earlier), Fisty's been posting an absolute boatload of Mindi O'Brien pics to HerBiceps, as well as several new video clips of the lovely Jamie Reed. So you should definitely go have a look at those.

About a month ago, I actually saw Jamie Reed in a subway station in New York. I was sitting on a train from which I presume she had just disembarked, and she walked by the window toward the stairs. I didn't even realize that she lived here, and it took a second for me to place her. She looked very pretty, very fair-skinned, and was wearing a light blue jacket. Since then I've been anti-stalking her, which means I've been studiously avoiding that station during the time of day I saw her. One part of my brain suggested that I make a habit of lingering in that station, to lay my world-famous "Hey, sweet thang..." rap on her. The other part insisted that it would be a bad idea to talk to her - that's the part I usually listen to. It might be OK to approach one of these women at a fitness competition, or similar venue, but to break into private life when she'd be at such a disadvantage would be rude and creepy. People are entitled to their privacy.

Or it could just be that I'm chickenshit. What do you think?

ALEXANDRA VUSIR

Early 90s fitness and bodybuilding hottie Alexandra Vusir first came to my attention in an issue of Women's Physique World back around '92 or so. One of the things that's nice about her is that she started out as pretty scrawny, and then built up to a heroic physique. Before and after photos are available, most notably at this site.

PUBESCENT VIAGRA USE

A story linked from the Drudge Report is pretty funny - about some 12-year-olds who took Viagra tablets during school recess and were taken to the hospital as a precaution. Do you remember what erections were like when you were 12? Mine were so full it sometimes felt like my penis was about to explode. I can't imagine what a Viagra-driven hard-on would feel like for a kid. Ouch!

ALTAWOMAN VIDEO

Eegore writes:

Leee, in my humble, has scored an Altawoman transformatiion video that's darn near worth the price of admission to the site. Smooth graphics, a couple of eye-popping views of the money shot, and a throbbing score that accentuates the event. For a guy who talked about shutting down the site a few months ago, Leee makes a helluva comeback with this.

CROUCHING TIGER, DUBBED DRAGON

FX is playing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon right now - it took me three or four minutes to realize what was wrong. It's been dubbed! The movie was shown in Mandarin with subtitles in theatres.

It's very skillfully dubbed, but still a disappointment.

SHE-HULK CONTEST

Reader RM was kind enough to point out something I'd missed: a She-Hulk contest at Renderosity. I'll have to rush to send in an entry!

R. CRUMB

I was thinking today that there's a lot of big women in Crumb comics, and I oughtta pass along some references to you guys. Now, for the most part these girls are bottom-heavy, rather than top-heavy as I prefer, but not always. So here's the start of a bibliography:

Hup #2

Art & Beauty #'s 1 and 2

Anyone want to help fill it in?

STHENOLAGNIA

Somebody did a search on "sthenolagnia", wound up here at Lingster's Big Mouth. That's a curious thing for someone to be searching on - the term describes arousal from displays of strength or well-developed muscles. I've written about it here before - never found much clinical material concerning the word - any psych professionals out there willing to look it up in professional reference books?

THAT PARTY I GOT INVITED TO

Today Gawker gave the low-down on that Gizmodo/WIRED Magazine Party I somehow got invited to, but chose not to attend. It was last night - apparently quite trendy and fashionable. I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable anyway, but it would have been cool to rub elbows with the beautiful, uh, bloggers.

Because some of the people behind the party are tight with Neal Pollack, my paranoid suspicion is that he put them up to inviting me. They may be trying to uncover my secret identity, if they haven't already fingered me. Sometimes I wonder - there was something on a popular NY blog last week that makes me wonder if I've been found out.

Gizmodo Party Report [Gawker]

BODYBUILDERS ON LETTERMAN

The Top Ten list is being read by bodybuilders tonight - two of them female. One of the two is that tiny, cute Mara girl who emcees some of the NY Muscle Club events.

Update: it's Mara Brescia.

KAREN SISCO

The new tough-chick crime drama, "Karen Sisco" is on at 10pm EST tonight on ABC. It's funny, because the Elmore Leonard character Karen Sisco was played by great-ass girl Jennifer Lopez in 1998's Out of Sight, only to have great-rack girl Carla Gugino pick up the character in the new series. Miss Gugino is a bit thinner than she was in 1996 on "Spin City", and on that one episode of "Quantum Leap" back in 1992, but still very foxy and far curvier than most popular actresses.

And the show's not bad, even though one of the premises - that Karen Sisco has trouble meeting men - is a little bit weak.

OLD AD FOR "IRONIZED YEAST"

I found an ad for "Ironized Yeast" in an old magazine, and posted it to the Lingster's Brand Name Messiah Yahoo Group, under files, folder "Nostalgia". Subsequently I found another ad here. These aren't about female muscle growth per se, mainly just about skinny, weak girls quickly becoming healthy and curvaceous. They're reasonably amusing and stimulating.

DOUGHDEE MARIE

On a lark I Googled "Doughdee Marie" and found her personal site. Doughdee was the first voluptuous bodybuilder I became aware of, back in the mid-80s, and she made quite an impression on the young Lingster. Photos of her are few and far between on the Web - though WPW has some photo sets.

CRAIGSLIST AD SOLICITS MUSCULAR WOMAN FOR BODYPAINTING

There's a guy in San Francisco looking for muscular women that he can bodypaint and then photograph. Man, I wish I'd thought of this - what a racket this guy's got going!

I took some drawing and painting classes in college, and two of the things that I quickly learned to appreciate were that 1) there were frequently good-looking naked girls serving as the model for the class and 2) I was pretty much the only heterosexual male in the class. Maybe I should get back into that?

POLLACK IN NYC

Neal Pollack's playing Luxx in Brooklyn tomorrow night, and then the Virgin Megastore on Union Square on the 24th. I think I'll wait for the second show.

BIG CHESTED ISRAELI COLOR GUARD

Yeah, yeah, I'm going to hell.

Anyway, Delmo was able to find some additional, hi-res photos of the young lady in question. Swear to God, the girl ought to be in Score, but instead she shows up in the IDF - screwed up world. I put them in the Lingster Messiah Yahoo! Group. See left column.

LORI BRAUN INTERVIEW

Speaking of big-chested Jewish girls, writer Amy Sohn interviewed Lori Braun for an article on the sessions business last month. I find the sessions biz unfortunate and distasteful, but it's still an interesting read: Squeeze Play

I'M MOVING TO ISRAEL!

I suppose it's a little inappropriate, but I was watching the news last night and spotted a woman in an Israeli Defense Forces uniform, bearing a wreath for the Yom Kippur War memorial. She was amazingly stacked - I couldn't believe it. For a second I thought it was a joke. I posted a screen cap in my Yahoo! group.

SCHWARZENEGGER HARASSMENT?

Not to be cruel, but once I saw a picture of this broad, I knew Arnie hadn't felt her up, or made any other kind of "unwanted sexual advances" on her.

HEY NEAL, GET A LOAD OF THIS

Here's an eBay auction, ending Wednesday night, for a "4 PC. Wonder Woman Costume Vinyl Lingerie HoT". It's got a simple measurement chart embedded in the auction page, so you can make sure before bidding that it fits your wife/mistress/significant other/hired whore.

HEY SWEETHEART, YOU WANT A GREEN CARD?

Marc2410 at DtV linked to several photos of one Margaryta Byelinska of the Ukraine. I love a pretty girl with big biceps.

"KEEN EDDIE" CANCELLED

Those fuckers at FOX cancelled "Keen Eddie". First "Firefly", now "Keen Eddie". Grrr!

LINGSTER'S BRAND NAME MESSIAH

Cowprobe wins the contest! Which means he gets diddly-squat but bragging rights.

I launched the new Yahoo! group just now - y'all can join it here. This isn't going to be one of those Yahoo! groups that spiral out of control and become useless inside two or three months. It will be tightly managed. All message posts from non-administrators (I am the only administrator) have to be approved before appearing. I am the only one who can add files or links or pictures.

So far I've just put two files in - a little version and a big version of the same transformation. I spent four hours on it yesterday, then my PC took about an hour to render it overnight, and then I spent about 90 minutes on Mac post-work this morning. It's very brief, but it's all yours.

PROMISING PROLOGUE

The first part of "I HATE MUSCLES: A Growth Story" was posted to DtV. It's just a teaser, no actual growth. It's generally well-written and amusing - though I would suggest to the author that he work harder on proof-reading.

TEMPLATE FIX

For those of you who have had to deal with the "scrolling problem", I installed a template fix recommended to me by Steven den Beste. Let me know if you still have problems.

MICHELLE MARSH TURNS 21

Page3's Michelle Marsh recently celebrated her 21st birthday, and so Page3 erected a special page for her. They claim her bra size at 32FF, which in my understanding means 32" around the rib cage below the boobs, but then 39" across the boobs. Hmmm....I don't know. She's really big, but I don't know if she's FF big.

[Update: Whoops! Here's the link.]

I GOT INVITED TO A WIRED MAGAZINE PARTY

Isn't that weird? There's a party on October 15 to celebrate the respective one year and one month anniversaries of Gizmodo and Wired Gadget Lab, and somebody must have had the idea of inviting me. I don't usually write about gadgets or consumer electronics, so I'm not sure why I'd be invited.

And don't you normally need to know someone's name before inviting then to a party? I'm not going as Lingster - there's no way I'm going to walk into a bar wearing a nametag that says "Hello My Name is MIGHTY LINGSTER", when there might very well be people there who know me by my real name.

Lingster's Big Mouth is, by blog standards, very successful - about 900 or 1000 visits each day, maybe as many as 4000 regular readers. It's much more successful than I ever imagined it would be; most blogs get nothing like this kind of traffic. (Scary, huh?) I still can't figure any way to make any money off it, though and now apparently I won't even be able to score any free drinks.
