Jef-and-Mindy

Jef & Mindy—Jeffrey Neil Kippel and Mindy Heather Blackstien—are a husband-and-wife duo who’ve been partners in business (and imagination) for 25+ years. They co-wrote The Ridiculous Series: a thought-provoking sci-fi comedy that is being considered for an animated movie. If you choose to read it, expect to enjoy some lols, ahas and WTFs! Jef & Mindy have a unique history. It was they who popularized natural bodybuilding and introduced fitness model events to the mainstream. The franchise they built, FAME, revolutionized the society, sparked a niche culture, and ignited the global bodyproud movement. Today, they continue to fuse purpose with entertainment through The Ridiculous novels, and their immersive universe that is gamified for fans—which means their art, music, or creativity can become part of the movie or animated series. In more ridiculous news, Jef & Mindy love to go with the flow, tune up their talents, and say yes to things they usually wouldn’t. They also love spending time outside, going to music events, and hanging with their fitness-flipping cat, Aura.
