Michelle Bates-a fierce competitor and a good sport.

I had the honor to meet one of our clients in person, the beautiful Michelle Bates, at the 2011 Europa here in hot Dallas, Texas.  Wearing a new design by Renee, the tall beautiful IFBB pro figure competitor walked out on stage with poise and grace. For me, this was my very first experience attending these competitions. My job was to get a taste of what this industry is all about through the eye of my camera lens. Although I took tons of photos of everything from the bikini models and men's bodybuilding 202 division to the beautiful ladies of the figure division, I experienced what these suits look like on stage. They were VISUALLY AMAZING!

Renee's posing suits really looks great on stage. I had to remind myself that it's not the suit but the entire package. Watching Michelle walk across the stage really gave me a better appreciation of of these posing suits and most of all, the hard work that these competitors have put in their training.

I had the honor and privilege to meet Michelle after her preliminaries to take a closer look at how her posing suit fit on her great physique and to take a few photos.


Visually, she is strikingly tall and over time we will see a fierce competitor when she continues to transform her physique. I gave her some words of encouragement because I know, deep down, that she will make it some day. She has everything in the right place- the right designer, the right trainers, the right stage in her life. All she needs is a little more time and she'll be a force to be reckoned with on the pro circuit.

It was a pleasure to have met Michelle and we want to wish her the very best.
