Another lady from the 90's, power lifter and fitness model Marjorie Orrante.
I dont know it this is the same Marjorie Orrante that appeared in the 1999 film" Where's George?" or not.
But I do think this the first power lifter we've featured.

Fitness Model Marie Nelson


I did a write up on fitness model Marie Nelson awhile back on my Most Beautiful Women blog, http://themostbeautifulwomen.blogspot.com/2007/01/marie-nelson.html
But I still can't find anything on this beautiful lady.
Probably one of the prettiest women on the scene back then.

Margo Napoli

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This is probably my favorite fitness model of all time, Margo Napoli.
She lacked the bulk of some models, but she was lean, ripped and cut up.
Margo left fitness modeling though I dont see why.
I think she could be even more popular today.
