The subject was started here: http://www.unrealmuscle.com/forum/index.php/topic,9753
But it deserves its own thread.

The famous cinnamon colored dress used by Women's Physique World was seen in many awesome photoshoots worn by many many models over the years. The question came up, How Many?

I did a cursory search of just the free preview pics on WPW.net and found 7 just on the A-D pages! Of course I skipped ahead to R to get my favorite, Janice Regain. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Can any of you intrepid photo collectors help add some?

so is it safe to say if a fbb gets to wear that dress then she has indeed been initiated into the fbb sorority Smiley

I think it has become a tradition and a trademark for the WPW people.  They also have a few dresses and gowns out there but the Cinammon dress is the standard.  as for the ick factor, despite it being cleaned and laundered a few times... I don't know. 

I wondered about the sizes and the wear and tear on it though.  After more than 20 some odd years, you would think it gets worn out and torn from all the flexing.  Another thing the younger girls would no know it was worn many times unless they were eventually told about it.  Which i've seen them do in a few videos. Or the girls were well aware of WPW before the photoshoot.

One thing might be for sure.  A lot of "schmoes" would love to get their hands on that dress and smell it. Wink Grin  Probably the closest thing they will have to having the "essence" of the collective girls who have worn the dress. Cheesy  Retiring the dress may not be an option yet.

LMAO.. as soon as I saw the thread.. I knew it was that specific dress. I think models go back like nearly 20 years.. who have warn it.

But I must admit it's a valuable piece of history for the FBB community. So many famous FBBs have warn it... come to think of it.. what is it made out of? its been put through the ringer..

The correct spelling of her last name is Greenbaum. Just had to bring that up. Smiley

Great thread!  That dress takes me back to the RAGING hormones of my adolescent years and purchasing WPW at the local drug store with a red face and my heart about to beat out of my chest.  No ick factor for me.  It's almost like a secret symbol, for schmoes.  If Commissioner Gordon shined the image into the sky, all of us schmoes would instantly appear at City Hall.
