Classy figure girl Laura Bailey brings her sweet personality and strikingly peaked biceps to the Studio from a shoot in Santa Monica, where the stunning 5-foot-4 beauty swept the figure title at the Muscle Beach International Classic. Energized after lifting her first place trophy, she shows off her chiseled physique and amazing strength for the camera with smiles and infectious delight.

The enchanting 31-year-old from Houston came from an athletic family — her background includes volleyball, gymnastics and cheerleading — and started lifting weights as a teenager to get stronger (and faster) for her favorite sport, track and cross county.

Laura’s win in California was the beginning of a successful streak for the raven-haired Texan. She would later win the Flex Wheeler Classic in Minnesota, out-muscling formidable Twin City star Sherrie Carnicle for the overall championship.
