Just look at this thread. We're all discussing LEE PRIEST, not some other Joe Smhoe. Is anyone talking about Victor Martinez, or Darrem Charles, or Dexter, etc etc? Nope.

This is one thread on a net board. In real life Victor, Darrem and Dexter all have multiple contracts with big supplement companies. Lee has a contract with twinlab and had to get bodybuilding.com pay his race entry fee at a drag race he did. He also had to sell his Hummer and other cars and now drives a mustang. When 90% of your money comes from contracts and very little or next to nothing from contests, then having a look that sells is very important. Getting a tattoo on your face in this instance is a bad idea. A lot of times these guys are asked to put Dermablend over any tatt's when going to certain expo's/guest posing engagements/seminars...I don't think he will be able to hide that.
Like I said though, Lee is Lee. He is always up front, honest and true to himself. He doesn't care that he isn't loaded and lost a lot. Most thought he was foolish for leaving his wife and getting engaged to Adela so quick. But he goes with what he feels and who he is. For that I have tons of respect for the guy.
As for Joe Weider... Joe is DYING. He no longer controls the IFBB. They even cut his 'farewell' speach short at the O. David Pecker of AMI is in control now. And if you guys think Weider is bad, watch out. Things are only going to get WORSE. Joe will look like a saint when all is said and done. AMI basically wants to milk bbing for all it has left and then leave it for dead. Remember how everyone bitched about Wayne Demilla? Now they are all saying how great the O was when he was in charge and how shitty it is now. It's just getting started....
