ah yeah good point. Ok I might take some posing pics in just a normal bikini and post them and you guys can see what you think. I read up about this competition, and what they're looking for is a pysique that suits your body type, which I think in my case is going to be extra cut rather than extra mass anyway. Here's the link to what they're looking for:
INBA - Judging Guidelines
this is the bit I was referring to:
Ms Figure is the most debated division regarding judging decisions. If a small and lean competitor wins - the cry is the event is now a dieting contest, if the winner is hard or muscular - Figure girls now must be 'bodybuilders in high heels', if a full or shapely girl wins it has become bikini contest, and finally, if the winner is attractive - Ms Figure is a now a beauty pageant.
As a Ms Figure competitor do not let the above confuse you - the judges are not changing their minds at each event. The answer to the Ms Figure question, "what are the judges looking for?" is to say the judges are looking for the competitor who displays the highest standard of their particular body type/shape. This covers the situations where the winner may be a 'hard' competitor who looks in peak condition or a 'full' competitor with aesthetic shape and symmetry. The judges are simply looking for the best competitor and this means you should focus on your improving your body shape/type.
ok wicked! I'll add beach pics to the list of requests/suggestions ok?

but its winter here at the moment so its hard to get nice outside light, especially when you're working all the time, but if you'd like to request any other sort of pics I'd be really happy for the suggestion, just maybe chuck it in my picture thread rather than this one so I can make this thread all about this contest prep.
