The selection process was nearly all-consuming — the entire M&F staff pored over the photos for several days trying to determine a single winner. It was an arduous, demanding task, but we selflessly put aside all other work to make this decision our top priority. Ultimately, we decided that Alicia and Jennifer were fit to be tied, so we split the title in two. Now, it’s in your hands to determine who best represents each half of our magazine’s name. It’s not a responsibility to be taken lightly, but we know you can handle the weight. You’ll have the entire year to come to this conclusion, and we promise to help by providing more pictorials of these sculpted beauties in upcoming issues of M&F. As titleholders, Alicia’s and Jennifer’s duties include appearing at major contests and other high-profile events, as well as regularly gracing these pages. The fact that Alicia and Jennifer are equally gorgeous, super-fit, brilliant and well-spoken makes them the ideal ambassadors of muscle & fitness, but one has to be more muscle, the other more fitness. We’re just not sure which is which. A little help, please . . .
