Over time I've received numerous requests to see a full un-edited gallery of pictures.
Below are 200 pictures from one set unedited.
Julie Marsland, born and raised in Montreal, was destined to be an athlete and performer from the day she emerged from the womb. Her parents enrolled her in every sport imaginable, from ballet to tennis, swimming to skiing. But, is was to soccer and dance that she truly developed a love and talent for. For ten years, she played elite soccer, winning nationals in 1994. She also danced for 17 years, of which she instructed for 6, studying various techniques such as ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and tap. She also studied and earned her college degree in modern dance and aspired to become a professional dancer.
However, when the reality of the industry set in (injuries, living contract to contract…) she opted to fly the friendly skies and became a Flight Attendant in 1999 and has been doing so full time ever since. Having left the world of dance, she was subject to an inconsistent schedule, flying to the four corners of the globe with no physical activity to speak of. This lack of activity her to the gym, which is where she discovered her natural genetic predisposition to put on muscle mass.
When September 11th, 2001 occurred, the aviation industry also took a severe hit. The airline was laying off 25 percent of its Flight Attendants and Julie was left to find a plan B. It was then she decided to do her certifications to become a Group Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. Being competitive by nature and craving to return centre stage, Julie decided to put herself to the test and enrolled in her first competition, WNSO FAME East Fitness Model, 2005 and placed 2nd.
Since then, her titles are as follows:
1st place - WNSO FAME World Championships 2005, Fitness Model (Advanced)
1st place - MVP Quest 2006
2nd place - WNSO FAME World Championships 2006, Fitness Model (Pro)
1st place - Miami Universe Weekend 2006, Model Universe.
Her next competition is the WNSO FAME North American Championships, being held November 3rd, 2006 in Miami, FL.
Since her debut only 1½ years ago, she has had the opportunity to work with several top industry photographers. She currently has a 14 page spread in the special lingerie edition of American Curves. She's been in numerous print ads, articles, catalogues and will be gracing the covers of both Oxygen and Muscle & Fitness Hers this upcoming year.
Take a good look at her and remember, you saw her here first. |
