Whatever happened to Kim Kilper? She was like the darling of Jr Nats a few years ago thanks to her nicely shaped/peaked biceps, did a shoot with every respected photog in attendence, and ..... has she competed or anything since?

Maybe this could be a Where are they now thread :lurker:

I think b/c of her job and such she decided to step out of the spotlight. It's a shame that being a bodybuilder and competing can actually be something you have to hide to keep your job safe. Jodi Miller had similar problems before she changed careers.

She just competed twice in the last few weeks, Springfield, MO and St Louis. I had posted some of her earlier.

What ever happened to Sharon Marval? She was from NJ & placed 3rd in the Olympia maybe early 1990's.

I tried to hide it too early on, but I was caught running into work in my gym clothes (Bebe Sport stuff). I was sweaty too. There was no hiding it once I started competing so I started putting trophies in a case, framing articles & suits & they all embraced it. People cannot get enough of it. I hear them talking to the staff. They wabt to know all about the competitions and next season they want to go! I got lucky, it helped my job!

Thanks for the pictures Doug!
I do have a question though. Has Kim switched to Figure?
The picture on the left, looks like a Figure show to me! :)

Sharon Marvel lives somewhere in Virginia, i have never talked to her so not sure if she is going to be making any comebacks or anything!

In her day that girl had some physique. I have not seen a picture of her since her competition days. Wonder if she still works out or what she looks like today.

Well, let's see what information we can get on Susan Myers. She was one of my favourites and last competing around '95/ '96? She always avoided the spotlight, it's too bad because I think she had quite a following.

Lets add Jennifer McVicar to the list as well

You can find Jennifer everywhere.

Thanks for the link Doug, but those are older photos of her. She's MIA for a few years now, so I was just wondering what's she's been up to recently.

I believe Brian Moss has shot with her in the last couple years. Check out her website.

DOUG YOU DA MAN!
I didn't even know that she had a website in the works. It's great to know that she's still around. The look she had when she left, with the hair, and slightly larger build was off the chart for me! Kinda like a pumped up Jennifer Aniston ;^)

Doug you've just made my christmas card list. ;^)

http://www.jennifermcvicar.net/

It's been "coming soon" for a few years. It would be great to see her back on the scene, but don't hold your breath.

Sharon Marvel lives somewhere in Virginia, i have never talked to her so not sure if she is going to be making any comebacks or anything! She is now living in Charlottesville, probably with her mother. She was living in Virginia Beach a few years ago, and in 2002 I lured her to my house for what I think is her only photo shoot since her competing days, some samples are here:

http://www.impulsepro.com/newsharon.htm

When I talked to her in 2002 she showed no interest in a comeback to the pro stage, just wanted to stay clean and take care of herself. She was in the audience at the last Jan Tana in Charlotte, few fans recognized her.

Sharon still has the same lines. Sure would like to see her get back into it. I can understand how hard that would be, but you never know. Nice pics.

You also shoot for WPW? I just shot with Steve W for WPW.

I'm not sure what you saw or heard to make you ask this, but, yes, I have been doing a few freelance shoots for WPW with a few more assignments coming up at the North Americans and Olympia. Most of my work is still for TheValkyrie.com and a few other sites.

Thanks for the nice words about the photos of Sharon. It was one of the first "shoots" I ever did and a key moment in my long declining path into schmotography.

They found me............
again.

Great group of people. They all remember me from bb days. A longgg time ago. I was East coast then so knew Bill J & John N.

Steve W recognized me & I him just this past competition year. Steve wanted to set up a shoot in Laguna @ the gym there. I wanted to shoot in Redondo with our '69 conv camaro across from Redondo Gold a vintage shoot in front of Rubies Diner. Steve had every weekend so booked we couldn't do it. So to bring up to date. Ill go to NJ & next to do a shoot & video interview w Bill & John maybe in the next few months.
Really nice people & very encouraging for what I want these days in my trek towards moving up the very competitive ranks of figure.

Well that's too bad, I spent yesterday pretty happy about that. I hope that she's doing ok, wherever she is.

Anyone with anything on Susan Myers?

http://www.katpromo.com/Kathy competed just 3 months ago at the Master's Nationals as Kathy Connors-Kolosky, she placed 8th out of 15 light-heavies.

I doubt that the KatPromo site is being updated at all, the current date on the home page means nothing.

One that I've always wondered about is Dominique Darde, including finding any pictures of her. Apart from ones that I saw in a very passing way, she's one of the first FBBs I ever saw, so there's a lot of sentimental attachment.
