Tina Jo Orban Bagne Biography
Little Tina Jo was actually born Toni Jo. It was thought up 'till delivery I would be a boy. Surprise! Since then that seems to be the theme of my character... full of surprises. Growing up in Hollywood with two gorgeous sisters, and two brothers, and being second to the "baby" of the family I was known to be quite a tomboy. I liked to play baseball, and fight with the boys.
Early on my athletic prowess surfaced: in the fifth grade when Ronald Reagan (who happens to be my favorite president) conducted his campaign for exercise in the public schools, I won the contest for the longest time holding chin up. I believe I held on for over two minutes in a chin-up position, beating even every boy in the school! Finishing with high school and blossoming, I decided to join a gym. The real influence to take up weights came to me once I was inside the gym.
I distinctively recall seeing photographs of Cory Everson and Marla Duncan and thought wow what superb specimens. Initially working with a trainer and then venturing on my own, I continued working on my body. I had developed such a great body by age eighteen, I started entering swimsuit pageants and bikini contests.
I was Miss Eugena's runner up when I was just 19. I also won tons of various bikini contests in California prizes anywhere from $150--$500, also gym memberships, and bikini's. I decided to go national, and entered the Miss Fitness Galaxy 1994, not placing as high as I wanted, but the photographers loved me.
I was the swimsuit centerfold in Ironman Magazxine, and have done three swimsuit issues with Ironman, photographed by the awesome Michael Nevuex, two, with Muscular Development, and two with Musclemag.
