Here are stage photo's from the
2008 IFBB
North American Championships
open figure, class D


I presented "a softer" physique at this show
(compare with my stage pics from the Canadian Nationals below)



Myself and Tami
ca
me in
8th & 9th










I am very disappointed but more INSULTED with this placing. Stay tuned for my in depth post with my thoughts, opinions, observations and comments regarding my experience at the 2008 IFBB North American Championships where open figure class D was not a FIGURE comparison/competition on any level.

The top 5

You have one the most beautiful physiques in the country. Keep your head held high.

LA I totally agree with you and INSULTED is the complete right word to use to describe what happened. The judging was terribly inconsistent and its a shame that people like you who came in with such a complete package and amazing conditioning dont get rewarded for hard work. Placing 8th with the physique you presenting is disgraceful- this ISNT fitness modeling, its FIGURE!

Anyway, you looked amazing and Im sorry that you werent rewarded more accurately!

haha... a disrespectful post by a cowardly anonymous poster! It just shows how ignorance in this world prevails in the eye's of a jealous person.

Sorry, but two gels don't change anything about my "hottness" that just proves your extreme ignorance..it balances out what dieting took away-same thing as a padded bra would do...these are just permanent. The person who has to like them is me...and Darrin!

I am leaving your post on here to show the world how pathetic some people are to actually post garbage like that. Next time, if you'd like to debate-post your name!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! As the saying goes...

"love your haters, they are your biggest fans!"

hmmm,
A bit touchy there--I'm neither a hater nor ignorant nor jealous. I just stated my opinion that you were hotter before the fake boobs......They look, well....fake. Any maybe that's what the judges picked up on.

LOL!!!! Fake boobies have nuthin to do with it.....95% of the woman who competed at that show have implants Mr. Anonymous MORON!!! Do your research before making commments like that!!
Yes LA was HOT before - and she still is with her new "additions" were talking about the unfairness of the judging here not about LA's implants....get on topic or get off the site!!! Obviously this person has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE!!
LA I LOVE your new boobies I think they look great! hahaha!

I just found your blog, looked at the pics and, not to take anything away from the other competitors, but you definitely should have placed higher - you look fabulous. As long as you know your physique is awesome, that's the most important. I have just started in this physique competition world and I must say that it takes a lot of dedication and courage just to participate so you were already number 1 before you stepped on stage and I'm thankful that there are examples like yourself to encourage others - keep it up as you are a great inspiration to us newbies.
