Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 FEMALE EMPOWERMENT ISSUES! Beloved Friends: (Go to end for invitation, meeting Kellie & Champs): Here is the article on the WBBG website with Kellie's photo and interview. Kellie is preparing a speech on how female competitive bodybuilding got going, which will be promulgated in print and hopefully expressed on August 25 at Dan's gala Hall of Fame Event in South Portland, Maine. Please check this out: http://www.charityadvantage.com/Dan_Luries_World_Health_anRPJTPK/21.asp Here is the new group featuring the cover of a forthcoming book (4 NEW PHOTOS): RISE_FALL_FEMALEBODYBUILDING/ For Kellie Everts books, today known as Rasa Von Werder with six published books, (average # of pages, 400 each) (books on over 250 internet venues) see Lulu.com, Rasa Von Werder books. One of these has a chapter on Kellie's bodybuilding, with numerous photos, please see 'It's Not Over Till the Fat Lady Sings' Kellie owns two valuable websites, one on her biography, and one on today's work. The past is: http://kellieevertsistripforgod.com/main.php Kellie today owns a 6,000 page University/Church for Female Empowerment and Spirituality: http://www.womanthouartgod.com/ What Kellie Everts accomplished in the past was the start of a continuum, a pattern. That pattern was pushing forth to the media, ideas that were ahead of their time, novel and strange, unusual, breaking barriers that were put in the way of women by our culture. Kellie Everts has always been unusual, and if you look at the pattern o fher life, you will see that she did not enter something that already existed, she created something original - there was no female bodybuilding in existence when Kellie put it forth to Esquire Magazine in July 1975, and also Mike Douglas and To Tell The Truth, Stanley Siegel, AM America and many other national TV shows and magazines starting from mid to late seventies. Why were women not allowed to lift weights? Why was a muscular woman considered something ugly and inappropriate? Because men were supposed to be men, and women were supposed to be women, and there was a gender ideal that defined who they were and what they should look like. What Kellie did was crash the barrier that women could also be muscular and still retain their beauty, and not become weird or ugly. This was proven by her image, culminating in the Playboy May 1977 article which clinched the deal. Joe Weider jumped on the bandwagon after it took off, promoting only his own champions, denying what Kellie Everts accomplished, and his confederates are still touting the Weider Hallucination. Adolph Hitler said if you tell a lie loud enough and long enough, people will believe it. But look what happened to Adolph Hitler, and who believes in him today? He is one of the greatest villains of history, no lie can live forever, the truth comes out. The truth has now come out about Kellie Everts being the Progenitor of Female Bodybuilding, the 'Founder of Modern Competitive Female Bodybuilding, thanks to Doug Going and Dan Lurie setting the record straight.

Thank You Doug Going World Body Building Guild Facts about Kellie Everts aka Rasa Von Werder Kellie Everts has been awarded the distinction of being the Founder of Modern Competitive Female Bodybuilding, the 'Progenitor,' inducted into the Dan Lurie World Body Building Guild Hall of Fame on Feb. 2, 2007, and will receive the award in person on 8/25/07 at a WBBG event. Kellie Everts appeared in the first female muscle article in a prestigious national publication, a six page layout, in Esquire Magazine, July 1975. In a concerted effort to place female body building on the map, she then appeared in many more national and international venues, both television and print, promoting the idea of women with muscles, and she authored and posed in the first female bodybuilding book by a female, 'The Ultimate Woman,' in 1981, published by Leitner Enterprises. Her muscle prowess was exposed on Mike Douglas (1975), To Tell The Truth (1975), Real People (1979), Tom Snyder (1981) (she was the first female bodybuilder on Real People, before Laura Combes) as well as many other important syndicated and local television, promoting the sport. Numerous articles were written national and international, all prior to Lisa Lyon, Rachel McLish and Cory Everson. What clinched the idea was when Playboy decided to use Kellie's photos lifting weights with her bikini falling off, in May, 1977. After that, the culture seemed to accept the idea, and competitions started, veering from 'body beautiful' affairs to 'physique' and 'bodybuilding' competitions for women. It was then that Lisa Lyon and Rachel McLish began to get involved, and Cory Everson after them. It was Kellie Everts, not Lisa Lyon, who had the first female bodybuilding pictorial in Playboy. Kellie appeared a total of nine times in Playboy Magazine. Every statement made here is documented with proof on KellieEverts.com. After bodybuilding, Kellie Everts emerged with the second novel idea, the one that a woman in the adult trade, a stripper, could also be a minister and save souls. Incredible publicity followed, overshadowing even her bodybuilding fame. She traveled the United States and Canada, giving over 1,000 sermons in burlesque theaters and nightclubs, appearing on front pages and news in most every town she went, with record-breaking attendance. The highlight of 'Stripping for God' was when Kellie Everts preached in front of the White House, the message of Our Lady of Fatima, June 16, 1978 - 'Pray the Rosary for the Conversion of Russia.' Kellie believes this Anointed message, with press following, resulted in the end of the Cold War, exactly as Our Lady of Fatima promised 'My Immaculate Heart Will Triumph. In the 80's and 90's Kellie Everts appeared on Geraldo, Sally Jessy Raphael, Regis Philbin, Phil Donohue, Entertainment Tonight, Ted Koppel, Morton Downey Jr., and dozens of syndicated talk shows and news. There were numerous documentaries made on her for international distribution, one example, 60 Minutes Australia. Because of the furor that some of her appearances incited, Ted Koppel dubbed it 'Reality TV' in 1991. Kellie Everts quit 'Stripping for God' in 1987 after fourteen years and today is known as Rasa Von Werder. She is doing what she always wanted, full time spiritual work, by creating and running a 6,000 page website called WomanThouArtGod.com, the University of MotherGod Church, which has a tremendous following. She has authored six books, two on Matriarchy, 'Can Female Power Save the Planet,' and 'It's Not Over Till the Fat Lady Sings;' one on Dream Interpretation, 'Theater of the Mind,' one on Celebrity Souls in Purgatory, 'Theater of Justice,' another called 'Secrets of Yoga and Christianity - Are They Compatible?' and most recently, 'Breastfeeding is Lovemaking Between Mother and Child.' She is working on three more books right now. These are published by Lulu.com and iuniverse and can be found on all internet venues.
