The woman on the left -- well, the only woman in the photo -- is not Babarella, but famous female bodybuilder Melissa Dettwiller at the after-party for the Arnold Classic. All I can say is wow.
Oh, the guy's GeneX Hwang, the equally famous photographer of women bodybuilders, but we're not focused on him!

Monica Mollica - Super Legs Woman
Yep. Sweden's Monica Mollica's a Super Woman and getting stronger every day.
She says her idol / objective is IFBB Pro Heather Policky "Why do you think I'm busting my ass?" she asks.
Well, she's certainly doing that and with the desire to have the sheer thigh mass that Ms. Policky is known for.
I'd say she's on her way.

Jaime Buffalari - Classic Pict From Photo Shoot With GeneX
