I have a brand NEW idea!

All those babes should have a COOKING CONTEST in their competitions! Let Emeril, Rachel Ray etc. be the judges of that one!

Contestants or Consonants ?

No Mary Sue Joe Beth’s in the competition ?

This crop for the most part needs smaller bikinis to distract from the fact that most could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.....

I put my bag of nickles on Miss Belgium.

Thanks for what’s always a great thread Stoat !

"Mariana Paola Vicente, Miss Puerto Rico 2010"

If she's representative of what Puerto Rico has to offer, I may have to re-visit my position on Puerto Rican statehood, immediately.

Sadly, no Mary Sues made the cut this year  :-(

This crop for the most part needs smaller bikinis to distract from the fact that most could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.....

I understand that a decision was made to have them all wear the same bikini this year.  Exactly what was involved with this decision making process was not disclosed to me in my research on this important matter, but I agree on both counts.  Hopefully all of the contestants will make it through the pageant without collapsing from starvation.

I put my bag of nickles on Miss Belgium.

She can cook my waffles for me anytime  ;-)

Thanks for what’s always a great thread Stoat !

You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted if you and others will enjoy it.  Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words  :-)

I’m afraid that Miss USA was a PC choice; she’s pretty compared to the average girl, but not up to the international standard. No forehead, for one thing, and short-waisted.

Wow....better pics suggest I may have picked a winner. She’s a babe indeed. Albeit I was thrown off by that IUD thingy hangin off her left thigh near the intersection of that red dress....might be a fishin lure ?

Nite.
