Would you ladies?

***Extreme*** · 18-06-2006, 10:37 AM

LA Muscle are opening up a section on their site called "LA Muscle Sexy" with "fitness babes, bodybuilders, models and nationally recognised sportsmen" all naked in a new members section!

This is the bit I find mental, if you are accepted after applying to become one of their models they will pay you "over £30 an hour plus travelling expenses"! I think you get over £500 per shoot with the "top shelf" mens mags so who is going to want to appear butt naked on their site for £60 if your shoot takes 2 hours.

Does anyone think its really tacky and crass?

gives you lots of confidence in their supplement range!

it explots a market which they will make money in - and exploits the people they are taking photos of even more!!!!

LA muscle do in fact have some good BodyBuilding related info and articles on their website... its just a shame they spoil it with things like this....

ive always hated the way their supplements are advertised too...

so getting to extremes point - yes very tacky!!!

who would like to see much more UK bodybuilding and contest related info and articles on this site? interviews and photoshoots with competitors etc.??

Yeah - crass and tacky I agree! There is a place for that and I dont think that is it!

As for LeeB's question - yes to all!

kriptikchicken · 19-06-2006, 07:53 AM

I'll do it for 50! (oops this is the ladies forum!)

ops:

zara-leoni · 19-06-2006, 11:23 AM

haha! They want blokes too I understand!

Bugger that though! I think maybe if an athlete or model trusts a photographer they have worked with before and has total control over which pictures are used, and the photos dont show anything that would normally be covered by underwear then it MIGHT be ok - for a VERY large fee (not worth it for yer train fair and a packet of crisps lol!). However what they are asking is something very different and the results could turn out to be horribly embarrassing for someone.

No chance!!!

I don't think it's a good idea La Muscle advertise naked women in their site... Do they hope sales will increase???

zara-leoni · 19-06-2006, 02:30 PM

Sales to certain types of men maybe - but many of their customers are women and also gay men, and TBH I think it would put them off.

As far as product and company branding goes they have just done themselves a big dis-service.

***Extreme*** · 19-06-2006, 05:40 PM

I'm surprised at any supp co wanting their site associated with porn/nudity no matter how tame, it will have many people shun them I think.

I'm not adverse to the image of the odd hot member of the opposite sex now and then as I'm sure most people are, but on their nutrition website?

Will blokes go on for a tub of protein and indulge in a spot of monkey spanking at the same time? I think its ridiculous and funny all at once.
