Charleston, South Carolina, May 21, 2011: It was exactly 30 years ago in Salinas, California, that the AFWB staged the first ever Junior USA, and with the passing of those 30 years and over 2,700 miles of distance to Charleston, the 2011 NPC Junior USA did its part in posting several more firsts as the anxiously anticipated birth of the new Women’s Physique Division took center stage this weekend.

A Journey Beyond Bad Circumstances
What limits do we have? We still don't know yet. I believe what we're truly capable of has not even come close to discovery. Throughout history, time and time again, people have risen up despite tremendous adversity and whether in a small or big way, have pushed the limits of what's possible and have inspired countless people to follow their examples. Some say our lives are predetermined and others believe we choose the path we wish to take. In either circumstance the people who persevere through these obstacles never cease to astound me. In the case of IFBB Figure Pro Ann Titone, not only did she beat the odds, but she conquered them to achieve greatness.
Who is Victoria Dominguez????
Ever hear the catch phrase "There are two sides to every story"? Well, the same can be said about me...or my personality that is. There are two sides to my persona and when brought together, they create the unique combination of who Victoria Dominguez is and what I represent. My cultural background is as unique and dynamic as the woman you're reading about.

Day 5: London Grand Prix Expo- 7:15 a.m. (Which was really 6:50, because I have to push all my clocks ahead so I’m not late...it works!). I was now getting up approximately the same time I’d be going to bed in Louisville. Poor Rachel was sick with bronchitis and had been coughing up her lungs all night long. So, I didn’t really sleep either. Jo had thoughtfully sent up a big English protein breakfast to our room, Rachel cranked up her iPod and we got pretty and made the best of it. From the moment we walked into the expo, it was all busy chaos and brightly caffeinated smiles. The energy levels were as high as the music blaring from the skateboarding area and it was a party atmosphere. Everyone was decked out in sharp new camo Extreme Nutrition gear to launch their new line of supplements. Except me; sort of. Their top didn’t fit my…well, tata’s. I was prepared for this, as it’s normal in my line of work, so I brought my own backup camo halter.
