HARDBODY News & Updates

Another new feature here on HARDBODY.com… “TARA TALKS”. This is a raw, unedited talk with IFBB Figure Pro, Tara Scotti. Tara hung up her posing suits and clear heels after a successful pro figure career. She was married last fall to one of the coolest guys you could ever meet, Dominic. Any one who knows Tara, knows she is a true New Yorker who is loyal and true to her word, but also isn’t afraid to tell it how it is. This is the first of many “Tara Talks” here on HARDBODY.com. In this edition, Tara talks about how she first met Gina Aliotti, the 2008 Ms. Figure International Champ and breaks down a bit of the figure competition. Below is a portion of Tara Talk, where she is talking with her now husband, Dominic. This is one of the more amusing exchanges you’ll read all day…

The phone call went something very similar to this:
ME ” Hey Babe, I am about to win my 2nd pro show”
HIM “Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement”
ME “Babe, trust me. I am peaking like I did at last year’s Olympia, and I saw almost all the girls backstage, I am not losing this show!! ”
HIM “Simmer down cowboy. What about Gina Aliotti? ”
ME “Who’s Gina?”
HIM “Gina Allioti, my sources in Anaheim tell me Gina is looking really good.”
ME: “Who the f**k is Gina Allioti, and who the f**k are your sources?”
HIM: (laughing) Babe relax. You competed against her a few months ago in Colorado. You placed ahead of her. You don’t remember her? ”
ME: “I have no idea who you are talking about. And if I already beat her, why would I lose to her now?”
HIM: “Gina is one of the new girls. She is very young, very pretty, has a great physique, flowing lines. If this kid can get her conditioning down, forget it, lights out. She is the future of Figure babe. It is what it is. Just relax. Just do your little thing on stage, and let the cards fall where they fall. You’re going to do fine, you always do.
ME: ” Jesus, by the way you are talking, you sound like you are the president of her fan club. Why don’t we just break up and you can start dating her yourself.”
HIM: “You know what, that’s not a bad idea. See if you can get me her number when you talk to her.”
ME: (CLICK)

This jerk is trying to take the wind out of my sails. So I hung up on him and turned my phone off. So now I went from confident to shaky. My mind is starting to race. Who the f**k are his sources? Probably that nut case Isaac Hinds. Wait till I see him.
