DIS Magazine and Paul Greenhouse traveled to Glenpointe, New Jersey to cover the Team Universe National Figure Competition and follow Kelly Keiser during her final hours before the show. After months of preparation, training, and stacking proteins, Kelly’s extensions are clipped, her makeup is set, her tan is impressive, and her physical transformation is complete. In an effort to expand its base and market to the mainstream, bodybuilding has recently evolved to include a larger… [read more »]

Wellness and Beauty, We Invoke Thee.®

Generation Zero is sick with mortality. Our mixed-media existence: beauty brutality. Through waning planes of live-in frames, we’ve been rendered tired, trenchant and tranced.

Through multiple movements, repetitive and rapt, your aura augments and your… [read more »]
