I
want to thank all of you for your interest in me since I began
my first site in 1999. It was a test site and the response
was quite promising. This prompted me to design a more comprehensive
site... the basis for this site. Now the clincher...!
Due
to unfortunate results and complications from surgery in 2001,
I am not able to accept any assignments. As I was a fitness
model and actress, proud of my physique, and being able to
wear the attire of the trade without hesitation, you can imagine
my disappointment and grief...! I am stopped in my tracks. One
of the purposes for this site is to show that health and fitness
transcend age... at least to our conventional way of thinking.
I hope to carry on my father's legacy...and family's, I might
add, since we have many fitness achievers. Living proof is
my father who looks great at age 88.
You
can view some great older photos of my dad at: classicbodybuilders.com .
Look for Rex Ravelle. I plan to add photos of my dad to this
site as time goes on. I have some great ones of he and Betty
Grable, Jane Mansfield, Yvonne de Carlo, etc.
I
did not think to add this news to my site earlier, as
I was quite traumatized by the |
physical
and emotional results of the surgery that also included sexual
assault and battery. Also, I did not conceive the effects would
drag on this long. Therefore, I ceased my plans to expand and
promote the site.
I continue
to leave my site up because it is a testament to all that is
achievable in the mind's eye, to give hope and inspiration to others...and
to ME!
I refuse to give up on myself!
I am recreating myself "as we speak."
It
is my hope that after whatever corrective procedures are done
and I return to health, to resume my normal acting and modeling
activities... and just plain get back to my old self in that
regard. That alone would be a huge and welcome relief.
I
want to thank my friends and fans for encouraging me to continue
with my plans and to forge ahead...!
In
the meantime, I have published my first book, a contemporary
romantic comedy of sorts. Please check out my new book:
HOW I BECAME A BOND CHICK
