I have so many special thanks you's to make here. Please appeciate nobody is more special than others, it is in no specific order but each and every person or business helped me and Naera in our quest to promote female bodybuilding to the NZ public. My list is as follows
Wolfs Gym - Wolfs 24 Hour Gym and Henderson Wolfs facebook Page The best training ground I have ever had. To Dennis, my easy going boss and mentor who strives to help me to improve myselfs and to keep every member happy, and to Sam, the guy who gives as much as he can give especially my countless coffees, & lastly to Mike and Paula for setting up the gym for us in the first place.. Training and work could not possible be better. And special thanks to Nat, we are both pretty busy during our hours at the gym together but I know you support me and vice versa. Thank you.
Kirsty Patterson from Flexiwear Apparel for totally sexy as bikinis
I loved our bikinis so much. And a huge thank you to Kirsty for being their on the day to custom fit my bikini as sadly I had lost so much weight the final few weeks that the bikini was not fitting right. It was awesome to text this Cambridge girl and ask her to come out the back and do some sewing. A massive thank you Kirsty. What amazing service and incredible workmanship.
Thank you to my gorgeous contest jewelly loaned from Franich Jewellers. The earring were kindly loaned to me by Jeanette Young and also jewellery for my post competition photo shoot
I would also like to thank Supplements.co.nz for giving me such an awesome deal every month for my supplements. I love my products and I appreciate the support that Jason and Kim have given me. over the last 12 months. Thank you again.
A few weeks ago I was treated to an amazing massage by Joanne Hakaraia-Olson of The Healing Room NZ. It was the most relaxing 1 hour I have had for a long time. As a matter of a fact I was pretty shattered when I came out. Joanne works from Club Physical in Westgate on a Sunday which was perfect for me with that being my only day off. Thank you for makingNaera and I feel so special Joanne.
Maree Stubbington you have alot to answer for hun. Everybody always loves my tan. Not too light and not too dark and that is because of the Contest Colour that you provide me with every time I compete. I wouldnt pick anything else ever. I have won my biggest events in my life in this tan so why would I change. Thank you again for your kindness. Your one awesome lady..
Maree, once a top Figure competitor and now a judge and contest colour supplier. And also is director of her own business Beyond Beauty cosmetic getaways.
Allen Cho from Empire Brands for the brilliant assortment of supplements given to both Naera and I, Evolution systems for our training gloves pictured below, and to Peter Hardwick and Kirsty McKelvie for my pink and Leopard training gloves, so sexy people think Im wearing my undies on my hands
A huge thank you to Joelle Martin for our fabulous nails which matched our bikinis perfectly Petite Nails. Joelle is so good I now have a permanent 2 weekly appointment with her and Im eager to try her tans as well. Your awesomely talented Joelle.
A huge shout out to Theresa Judd Make up artist to Bodybuilding Diva's She has been my amazing make up artist of over 10 years. Teresa says nothing to me, shes far to polite amongst a room of bodybuilders, but I know she used to buy about 3 grams of face foundation for me for my comp and now she has to buy 15 grams and she says nothing and I really concerned she is majorly out of pocket cos of my wrinkles yet she darent say a word.. lol. Teresa is not only a fabulous make up artist but shit she is funny. You just try keeping your eyes cross eyed while she is pretending to apply eye glue with a 12 inch black vibrator - complete with sound effects.. lol. Shes the funniest.
While we are on the beauty side of things there is Neville Marshall from NVS Hair Design. He is my training and my morning rock. He keeps me grounded. If I didnt have him I wouldnt turn up for training each morning as I really love training at night but it is good to get it over with and have a laugh with him as well. We definately do alot of that. Loved how Neville did my hair. I love to have my hair long normally but I couldnt be bothered flicking it over my shoulder etc so asked Neville to put it up. This was his creation for the day
I would also like to thank another girlfriend of mine Rachael McNall She doesnt have to even do anything but she often does. Just knowing she is there and she will do anything to help me or anyone else for that matter. I have been so thankful for the "Beats" that she brought in for me one day, just another of the thoughful gifts by Rachael. I used them every day if not twice a day for 8-10 weeks. Loved them.. So Rachael, whenever I insert them in or are cleaning the wax out of the earplugs I have loving thoughts of you - Truely. Your the best chickee ever.
Big shout out to Marc Rainbow for helping me with my posing and being my helper on the day, and Jamie Cameron for helping Naera.. You guys were Awesome...
Thank you to my beautiful children. They are the loves of my life. Even though our family is living separate now I feel the love around me every single day. They have always been so supportive of me and Im really appreciative of that. Im not thankful for being sucessful in my bodybuilding career, or my work career or anything I am thankful for having the most lovable children any parent could hope for. Thank you Jaimee Masters Brad Masters and Jordan Stewart and of course their partners, Tysha, Andy and Aaron - I love you all.
I would also like to take the time to thank my clients who are all competing or have competed that I maybe didnt put 100% into because of my own contest. I promise now what I am not competing Im all yours and here to help you with whatever you need.
Bewitched
To wrap things up, what a huge experience it was for Naera and I.
We had a blast. Im going to finish here by putting up two pictures
Awhile ago Naera and I called in for dinner somewhere and we had our "Battle of the Bitches" clothing on.
An old guy came up and asked us what the "Battle of the Witches" was all about. He then went on to ask if we were jelly wrestlers or something lol.
But the witches name stuck and Naera would have a laugh when telling people the story. On the NABBA/Wff comp day, we made our own dressing room downstairs in a old props room. There we found our broomstick. Just perfect for the Battle of the Witches.
Love you Naera. We get on so well and have so many laughs I think I might marry you.. lol. Ok just joking. True I am. xxxx
Now check out the picture below and you can clearly see the witches broom... only just..
