I did a search of body builder types for the SD-LA area and I got Mellissa.  Her reviews seem great, but is the trek to LA worth it?  I don't recognize any of the LA hobbyist names, so I was hoping for a local who jumped on the grenade, saw Mellissa and found that her profile is accurate.

She has 60 reviews and nearly all of them rate her between 8 and 10 in performance. She easily averages a 9. I recognize several of her reviewers userames but even if I didn't, 60 rave reviews certainly would convince me.

another thing you might think about is that mellissa is from the northern california. she used to do trips to LA but has stopped. and the last time i brought the subject up to her she said she has no plans to start goign to LA again...
but if you are going to SF then you are in for a good time...
