Favorite Supergirls- Adara Steele

Ah, the Steele sisters. Man o man. These are some hot young ladies in first rate Supergirl costumes.

By the way, they're not really sisters ;-)

Mandi was the first Steele, then Adara came along, followed by a number of other gorgeous Steele sisters.

Without taking a thing away from Mandi, Adara quickly became my favorite. That's probably because she was the more athletic of the two.
The collage above is a pretty good representation of how hot she is.

I do have a pet peeve about Mandi and most of the other Steele sisters. It's in the way they position their capes. In most of their pictures, part of the cape is draped over their left shoulder.

Believe it or not, this affects how much I like these pictures. This is why it is unlikely that any of these pictures will ever make it to this blog's "when it all comes together" category.

I like the cape to be totally hanging back off of the shoulders. Like Helen Slater.

Another peeve I have about the Steeles is that there is almost no peril there at all.
I realize that their niche is all about girl power. There are many fans of that. Also, they don't want to do any type of porn, or anything even remotely similar.

I always claimed that they could also cater to the Supergirl-becomes-weak crowd without having to be explicit at all. My feeling is that a well-done peril scene can be so exciting unto itself that it often makes more explicit material superfluous. Of course, I like both types.

What would make peril with the Steele sisters so amazing is because of the fact that they never lose. Therefore, when they finally do lose, at least temporarily, it is all the more exciting.

In a previous blog article, I mentioned that one of the reasons seeing Lynda Carter helpless as Wonder Woman was so exciting is because it didn't happen very often. A lot of the peril videos go almost immediately to the heroine being taken out without really establishing her as a major power.

Of course, I understand that completely. That's the nature of this genre, at least for now.
All of the above notwithstanding, I really, really like the Steele universe. The women are sensational and the costumes amazing. They were actually revolutionary when they first started because until then, no one really posed in such great replicas of the costumes that we (or just I ?) have grown to love over the year.

Alas, Adara vanished from the Steele scene several years ago, but the legacy she left behind will always remain one of my favorites.

Happy 2008

2007 was a pretty good year for the Female Fighting News Blog. Readership consistantly went up and despite a couple of dry patches, updates came at fairly regualr intvervals.
One year ago, I set certain goals for content and while not all of them were achieved, many were. The interesting thing to note are the posts that had nothing to do with last new years schedule.

In 2008, I will continue to explore, discuss & review the many elements of what make these fantasies so powerful to me.

One of the things I would like to do is write about how people with tons of cash interact with the fantasy. The ones who can not only buy every single dvd they desire, but who have the means to take things many levels further. From state of the art wide screen home cinemas, customs matches and anything else that can be imagined.

If you happen to fall into that category, I would love to learn about what you do fantasy-wise so I can write about it down the line. Complete anonymity is, of course, obvious.

For the many thousands of people who accessed this blog in 2007, thanks! The best is hopefully yet to come.

Happy 2008

Tina Ferrari

Lisa Moretti was Tina Ferrari on GLOW, Nina on POWW, Lisa Moretti on the LPWA and Ivory in the WWF.

With the exception of the LPWA, where oddly enough, she was not given any special type of status, she has been a champion, or championship contender everywhere she worked.

I like her a lot. She is a wonderful performer and very athletic. She's also pretty hot.

Although I didn't particulalrly care for her first GLOW outfit, or about the way she wore her hair, she managed to attract my attention nevertheless. Luckily for me, her outfit was modified early on in GLOW to get rid of the tutu little skirt look.

Besides having a very pretty face, I was particularly taken in by her midsection and thighs.

Over the years she has provided several memorable moments. For the pro circuit (as opposed to the producers who make custom videos), I would say that was pretty good. When compared to other stars like Misty Blue or Magnificent Mimi, there is quite a bit of footage of her that I like a lot.

The collage above is a homage to some of those moments. The top part is from an LPWA match against Rusty Thomas where Lisa takes a ddt and is then pinned. It happened very, very quickly, but then again, that's what slow motion is for. If I am not mistaken, that was her final appearance on the LPWA and they did not let her go out on top. Rusty Thomas Irish whipped her into the ropes and when she came flying off them, Rusty nailed her with a DDT. Lisa was stunned and pinned!!!

Further down are pictures from a GLOW match where the heel (I forget her character name) uses her "mojo bone" to take control of Tina's mind and proceeds to administer a lot of punishment to her. Tina didn't lose the match, but it was still really good for me. It also kind of fit into my superheroine fantasies and I could imagine this powerful, in control heroine dismantled after falling into an hypnotic trap.

POWW was where "Nina" really had a chance to strut her stuff. For starters, she looked AMAZING. Her outfit was great and she was in terrific physical condition. In other words, she looked really, really hot! She also got to use the considerable athletic ability she had. I actually had the privilage of attending a live POWW show at the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden where she was the main event. In her match against Sasha the Russian, she was suplexed off of the top rope!!! I loved that one.
My all time favorite Tina/Nina/Lisa match was a multi fall extravaganza where she went up against Sasha the Russian (Dementia from GLOW if I am not mistaken). Nina dominated at first, pinning Sasha over and over again. The tables then turned and it was Nina's turn to get pinned a number of times. She was so good at selling being on the losing side and I LOVED seeing that match.
I have a vauge recollection of another POWW match she had against Hot Rod Andy. If I am not mistaken, it was a no DQ match that she wound up winning, but at some point I believe she was Ko'd briefly outside the ring.

Her WWE heyday as Ivory came at a time when I was out of the US for a few years and as such, I probably missed out on some more memorable moments. I did see one match against Chyna which was a squash ( a good thing), but she was dressed in a white shirt and long pants and her hair was pulled back (a not good thing). This fits in nicely with the previous post in this blog that deals with a situation where everything falls in place almost perfectly. This Wrestlemania match can be considered the antithesis to that.
I hope we have not seen the last of this wonderful wrestling performer. Perhaps her best moments ( MY best moments, actually) are yet to come.

Misty Blue Simmes Takes a Piledriver!

You tube is a gold mine for fans of Women's wrestling and Superheroines in distress.
There are not enough hours in the day to view all that is available there.

In an earlier blog post about Misty Blue Simmes, the topic of her (almost never) losing was brought up and one particular match was mentioned, one where Misty loses one fall as a result of a piledriver.

I am pleased to link up to a youtube.com clip of the fall where Misty gets hammered.
If anyone out there knows of similar footage of Misty, or rare fottage of her, please leave a comment.

Enjoy...

Rare Magnificent Mimi

Magnificent Mimi is one of my all time favorites, and it has been that way since she came on the scene nearly 20 years ago.
I have desperately tried to get my hands on anything she ever did and have managed to see most of what is out there. Obviously, I simply live for scenes where she takes good punishement or even loses, but as mentioned in a previous post on this blog, those scenes are few and far between.

It was absolutely thrilling to find a clip on you tube that I had never seen before. Mimi is particularly good in this clip and has a terrific oponent to work off of. Alas, she doesn't take much of a pounding in this one, but she looks magnificent being a skilled and dominating wrestler.

Does anyone know of any good Mimi clips where she loses or almost does?

Cori Nadine- The Greatest Superheroine there never was

The first time I saw a picture of Cori Nadine it was like being struck by lightning. I was exposed to a new genre of women called "fitness models," and I really, really liked it.

How could I not like it? It's almost like it was made for me. Beautiful, fit women posing in ways that accentuate their power. Check out the collage on top. She's got everything from the body to the face to the attitude.

I joined her site and tried to get a hold of every picture of her that I could. After all, the combination of her poses with my vivid imagination can only lead to great things. And great things did occur, at least with respect to the times.

Back in the mid to late 1990's I had a website where I would post Superheroine stories and photomanipulations. I never became extremely proficient with photomanipulations, but I had FUN and produced hundreds of them. Sometimes I would find a number of similar pictures that I could sequence into a story, and that what I did several times with Cori (rhymes with Story).
This was back in the day when quality pictures of costumed models were hard to find.
As fate would have it, I do not currently have access to my old photmanips so I can't post anything here right now. I quickly made a couple of new ones, just so you get a better picture of what's in my mind.

Some fitness models have made the transition over to wrestling and/or superheroine videos. Tylene Buck comes to mind, for example. Unfortunately not Cori Nadine.

I can't help but think how great it would be to see her in a wrestling ring or as a Wonder Woman like character. She's got the tone, the definition and everything else needed to become one of my premier fantasy women. I am not aware of any producers that have been able to get a hold of her, but if anyone knows her, and she's still in good shape 10 years later, I know several people who would chomp at the bit to hire her.
So, does anyone share my enthusiasm?
I know I'm not alone because I have read quite a few fantasy league wrestling stories featuring Cori Nadine. Let's see if we can get some comments going about her.
