 | At the 2013 DUB Show in Los Angeles, the DUB Garage would present one of the more massive showcase areas within the event, which would, to most attendees at the show, act as a live event manifestation of DUB Daily, the official car culture blog of DUB Magazine, which tracks the latest trends and occurrences within the urban car culture community. Heavily influenced by the versatile, quality craftsmanship of the DropStars Wheel Collection and the stylized luxury rim designs of TIS, the display dazzled as one of the most complete visual representations of the automotive culture, which effectively encompassed the realms of domestic luxury, two-wheel cruising, and personalized sports performance. With such a full spectrum outlook on the entire scene placed upon a single showcase platform, proper representation would rely upon an individual that embraced a certain elegance and flare that effectively complimented the complete nature of the presentation. The gorgeous Venessa Kanani would turn out to be the person most suitable for that job. |
 | While celebrated and renowned for its stunning customized automobile displays, the DUB Show Tour also honors other influential elements of the expansive creative culture, characterized by alternative avenues of amusement and stylistic implementation, which exemplify the true depth of the lifestyle itself. Whether it be theme parks, accessories, or different brands for written word, there are many participants within the automotive scene that collectively cater to the tastes and passions of a broad-based audience.

 | A trip into the heart of a city tells much about its fundamental character, a perception well influenced by the sights and experiences of the journey. It could be through a street lined in stars that justify a common ambition within a word upon a mount. It could be through a strip called Sunset where the brilliance of the American dream never seems to fade away. It could be from a highway that follows the impeccable western coastline, where the elements always seem right for a little action and play. Perhaps, that’s why many people around the world associate Los Angeles as the pinnacle scene for entertainment.

Wrapping things up nicely with a video and event vendor index. See you at the next event.
 | As another exciting event day winded down, lines dwindled and the once busy crowds began to give way. The atmosphere at the show became all the more relaxed with competition contenders and newly crowned champions, visiting loved-ones and their sponsor booths, expressing their heartfelt enthusiasm and gratitude. One could even hear the murmur of conversation with spikes of laughter from the booth attendants themselves, as they felt the calm of the closing hours amongst them. Fans and enthusiasts huddled up in packs along the edges, trying to take in all the great things they saw during the day, at times, even talking about the next adventure. That was no reason to pack the bags just yet, however, as most of the time, the extra space does tend to provide for some interesting and surprising chance encounters. |
 | As the competition continued, honor would be given to those who rose amongst their peers to claim recognition as the best in their respective classes, an achievement well earned though the rigors of persistent and dedicated training. But just as easily as one milestone is attained, the possibility of yet another soon presents itself. In a sport and culture which encourages one to be their very best, one starts to wonder what the pinnacle of their capabilities truly are. And so they elevate their focus and look forward, where the ambition tends to be grander towards that final curtain call with a firm grasp of that precious overall glory. |
 | The Iron Man Magazine Naturally Championships is the longest running stage attraction during the Los Angeles Fit Expo with several qualifying and main round segments scheduled throughout the course of its designated day of competition. People from all around the world would contend in different groups or classes based on height, weight or age brackets within the specialized categories of figure, bikini, and male physique, educating an attentive audience with the experience of a professionally formatted fitness contest. In a way, competitions such as these provide great insight for other professionals within other sectors of the modeling industry, as these athletes have trained long and hard in understanding the fine mechanics of poise and presence, discovering for themselves how it all relates to their very own bodies. To provide an example of what the competition had to offer, the following is a look back at the bikini class competitions of this year’s Fit Expo, featuring some amazing athletes and talents currently active within the fitness scene. |
 | A three-time NPC overall competition winner and Arnold Classic Champion, Ingrid Romero is one of the most experienced professionals active today in the fitness industry. Charmingly captivating with inspiring style and embracing character, her undeniable beauty has been honored within various publications internationally, gracing the covers of Iron Man Magazine and Spain’s Bodybuilding Magazine to name a few. With this said, she has also expressed her own passion and drive for the fitness lifestyle as a popular and well respected columnist for numerous periodicals. Even though these works and accomplishments have touched many fitness enthusiasts throughout the world, she ultimately wanted to do more. This lead Ingrid and fitness expert Joe Discuillo to form Team Edge, a venture born from a mission to assist young bikini competition talent in attaining their hopes and dreams through programs specifically customized for each individual. To complement even this, Ingrid has delved into her own creative inspirations to form the Ingrid Romero Couture Custom Bikini line to provide athletes with stylish attire options while in pursuit of their aspirations. Ingrid knows how hard it is to get a good foothold within the fitness scene and with her expertise and knowhow, she hopes to create a more effective avenue toward achievement. The following is a pictorial overview of the Team Edge booth during the Los Angeles Fit Expo with spotlights featuring the impressive talent under the Team Edge banner. |
 | Glamorous in soothing depth and statuesque grace, Jennifer Swift is one of the most visually enthralling figures within any live event scene. A well known inter-promotional ring girl within various live cage combat sports circuits, she has effectively gained the admiration of MMA fans around the country. Most of this respect stems from a deep seeded passion for MMA and the fighting culture, a quality which has kept her upon the post of Ms. Tapout for several years and running, solidifying her status as a leading female promotional personality for one of the most prestigious brands of the sport. The other part of her appeal comes from her prowess as a multimedia persona. Her various duties and activities within the entertainment realm include writing as a Tapout Magazine columnist, co-hosting on broadcast programming, and even performing in music videos. Though she often interviews celebrities, she herself has become one as well, guest judging within the celebrity panel of the Los Angeles Fit Expo’s ring girl pageant last year. Returning to the event again for the 2013 show representing the Tapout Los Angeles Training Center, she charmed as magnificently as ever. |
 | Because of the fitness industry’s broadness and scope, the talent encountered at the Los Angeles Fit Expo tends to represent a vast spectrum of expertise and experience. Though whether they are competitors, health gurus, or promotional specialists trying to convince people of the merits of a state-of-the-art product, their activities and functions can all be summarized within the encompassing theme of self-improvement. It’s this singularity that seemingly unites through the conviction of purpose and attracts such a wide range of professionals under one roof. That’s an aspect of the Fit Expo that makes it uniquely intriguing. |

During a brief break in the action of the competition, a moment of contemplation likely took over the contestants as it did the competition hosts. Perhaps, Mike O’Hearn said it best when he relayed to the audience that while this competition showcases the magnificence of results, the story was truly what drove the event. It was the journey to that accomplishment that defined the athlete. Every one of the BodySpace Spokesmodel hopefuls have had their share of struggles and disappointments, and it’s their narrative of how they were able to overcome such obstacles that are the most intriguing to the community, inspiring a belief that anyone could become the very best that they could be.
Next to the stage would be the men.
