Taking it all in at their first Figure Olympia

Two young ladies who we've been designing for made their debut at this year's Figure Olympia. The stunning, Heather Dees and Monica Specking, wore their new posing suits to take in the experience on stage. We had the opportunity to meet with both of them at the Meet the Olympians which was held at the arena. Each athlete had a station behind a table that had their name plate. Many of them sold photos or t-shirts of themselves while others stood there to meet the fans. We first ran into Heather located at her station. Renee walked up to her and introduced herself. It was so nice to see the surprised look on their faces when they finally met the designer who created these beautiful pieces of art. It was great to see Justin Dees, Heather's husband, who was nearby talking to a friend while heather signed photos for her fans.

On the other side of the room was another one of Renee's clients, Monica Specking. This beautiful young lady, from Paragould, Arkansas, wore her new posing suit with pride. I asked her how she was feeling and she said "I'm just so excited to even be here and get this far". I responded "just take it all in and enjoy every minute of it". The next day were the prelims and both girls would be in front of the judges showing of their physiques in their new posing suits.

We're so proud of these two beauties on their debut at the Olympia and wish them the very best.

Iris Kyle wins her 7th Ms. Olympia title!!!

Wearing a new design by Renee Paz, Iris Kyle wins her 7th Ms. Olympia title. It was an incredible experience attending our first Olympia and the place was full of excitement when Iris came out on stage in the women's final phase of the Ms. Olympia title. She wore her hair different this time which complemented the posing suit. Before the event,  we had an opportunity to meet up with Iris and the rest of the Olympians the day before the prelims started. This was our first time meeting the champ in person even though we've been texting, phone calling, and video conferencing all this time. She gave us a big hug and was so appreciative in making her look good.

On stage, she looked so relaxed and went out there to just do her thing.  She also commented on how well her posing suit fit and that she loves the design. Viewing her posing suit on stage with all the spotlights on her gave me a better appreciation for what we do for these competitors. They just sparkle on stage so bright!

Congratulations to Iris on a job well done!
