So, I just got an email from the host ... lol He wished me luck & writes, "I got your entry fee. Wow !, you're already in"
heeheehee .. I'm like YUP, the form is in the mail as well! (Entry fee was paid via PayPal, have to mail form either way). I also prebooked a room at a hotel for Fri & Saturday, and asked for Thurs & Friday (obviously) off work. NPC application & fee went out as well.
I did email him to ask about seating & tickets for those seriously interested in coming (as far as any possible discount or prearranged seating so people can sit together, etc.) I will keep everyone posted either way.
I am flattered & ecstatic at even the THOUGHT of everyone who wants come.

Hick?! Ha! The GF may not let him go. That would be sweet! I'll see him at the Arnold either way.
Oh before I forget, note for comp, the only BUMP in this is I am going out of town Oct. 5th (evening) until the 9th (evening). I will have a gym to train at and the friend I'm visiting will do what it takes to take care of my food choices.
Now I just gotta figure out what those are! Need to start reading & sorting things out...

Well, consensus on getting more "oomph" for the chest area is to go with a halter cut. With gel inserts and squeezing the boobage together, you definitely get more cleavage that way....plus a more proportionate look with the shoulders highlighted. Here's a page of some designs used for natural a/b cups.*Bunny* said:Yup, got that right. NOW which suit to look for, THAT is going to be tough.
Oh PLEASE, do tell me what you would suggest sweetie! You are my fashion advisor lol

Hopefully you can get some ideas. I think your twinny had her first suit designed through this service actually, but I'm sure you can find similar styles locally as well.
QUESTION!!! - everyone welcome to reply 
DIET...
Is it too early to use a carb rotation? Is there such a thing as 'too early' ?
Should I do a carb rotation for 3 weeks & see how my body responds and go from there?
TRAINING…
Here is a skeleton of the split I was GOING to start with the corresponding carb rotation without a show in mind.
Why do you feel this would not be acceptable for initial show prep? Think of it like phase 1 ….
Opinions wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***NOTE Calves & Abs will be hit 2-3 times a week minimum, did not include them in total sets b/c it is still up in the air how many sets/reps I will do***
Day 1 (LC) – Legs, Abs, Calves (complex carbs, if any, will be eaten PWO in the AM) (~ 12 working sets NOT including warm up sets OR abs & calves)
Day 2 (LC) – Chest, Tris (~ 14 working sets NOT including warm up sets OR abs & calves)
Day 3 (HC) – OFF (Abs, Calves option and/or YOGA)
Day 4 (MC) – Back, Bis, Forearms (Wrist optional) (complex carbs, if any, will be eaten PWO in the AM) (~ 16-18 working sets NOT including warm up sets)
Day 5 (LC) – Shoulders, Traps (~ 16-18 working sets NOT including warm up sets)
Day 6 (LC) – OFF (Abs, Calves option and/or YOGA)
Day 7 (HC) – OFF (or YOGA) <-- this is the day BEFORE my leg day
Diet Info:
* LC = Low(er) Carb
* MC = Moderate Carb
* HC = High Carb
Misc Info:
• I prefer to weight train in the AM & would like to keep it as such for now at least.
• I do like splitting Legs, so that option is not ruled out.
• Should I be hitting BP 2 times I week? I had growth & strength increases by doing so … (keeping my goal in mind to add a little size if at all possible while cutting… this IS possible for me)
• Looking at some #’s for reference & date… Last cut Feb - May, I ate more to make up for the catabolistic effects cardio is known for. Apparently it worked for me by simply to my body and fed it when it was hungry. After flipping through some fitdays it ranges from 1800-2300 cals sometimes more, and I still dropped about 1% body fat a week for 11-12 weeks, while gaining just shy of 5 lbs LBM.
• I do NOT want to end up doing hours of cardio 2 weeks out from the show. I guess this is a play it by ear kinda thing anyway
All I got for now.
I just finished Day 5 of my first week back in the gym training (reference above split), previously only lifting once in the last 4 weeks.
Thank you ahead of time for any input... and everyone is welcome to comment

you've done it before... no need to second guess yourself.
Hit it hard and heavy and do your crazy ass sprints...
The carb rotation is the only unknown. Are you sure you want to try something new right before a competition? ...that's totally up to you. You know your body best and what works/has worked in the past.

IMO - Carb rotations work best:
1 - For a period of 6-8 weeks out
2 - After the body has adapted to a linear progression of lowered cals
As far as splits...you know my preference.....you have basically listed a one bodypart per day kinda deal and I think its perfect for your goals...I do think 18 sets for delts/traps is a bit much, unless you wanted to split:
Chest and Anterior delts
Lats, traps, posterior delts
Lateral sweep on delts and midback detail will literally wins shows on their own, along with detailed legs.
I think splitting delts and legs is the way to go, in fact I have Treilin doing something very similar.

***UPDATE***
Reply to tickets & seating:
"As you may expect with over 100 total competitors we sell alot of tickets.
I usually have at least 20-30 requests for large goups of tickets of 10-20 even 50.
therefore we do make every attempt to sit people together, but only if the tickets are all ordered in one order. I can't sit people together that order seperately.
I will say if an order was placed now in the next week or 2 they would be very good seats.
As you get closer to the show the seating obviously gets frarther to the back and
more out to the sides.
You can order by check in the mail or credit card online."
I also asked how many women competed in figure last year and he said 18. This was not futher divided by class.
