A question posed by a fan in the U.K.why did so few coloured girls appear for the likes of California Supreme all those years ago?Was it just the lack of interest or where these outfits were based?
" ... lack of interest or where these outfits were based ? "
Very probably lack of interest ... The location (southern California) had virtually nothing to do with it (imho).
This was a time when some female-vs-female competitive events (wrestling; boxing; even other martial arts) were still developing into mainstream "acceptance" in the U.S.A. for women even though some of them (judo; jiu-jitsu; karate, others) were already nonetheless established as "acceptable" for women in general. So black females (and other minority women based on race) were just not yet involved to the extent they are today since even white females were just advancing into more equality in these areas of sporting or athletic genres.
So location had practically nothing to do with it ... Social change just had to take its course ...
A real fans favourite in her time at Festelle was Becky a girl who first arrived I believe with a mud wrestling team from the Nottingham area.A girl with a superb body and not afraid to show it,so this is a great tribute.
