First ginger-haired Miss Germany answers critics (HOLD MEIN BIER?)

The first ever Miss Germany with ginger hair says she's delighted at proving her doubters wrong.

Critics had argued Babett Konau's hair colour would stop the 24-year-old from winning the title.

She said her victory, ironically in the German town of Rust, proved being ginger was not an obstacle to becoming a beauty queen.

The dental assistant, from Schleswig Holstein, said: "It's a really nice feeling to know you can win - even with red hair."

Ms Konau has yet to decide whether she will continue working as a dental assistant, but added: "I hope I stay exactly how I am."

She beat 21 other competitors to the Miss Germany crown - winning a car and a trip to Egypt.

Miss North Rhine-Westphalia, Natalia Topmann, came second and Bavaria's Laura Mueller was third.

Miss Germany will now go forward to compete for the Miss World contest in November.

She is also forbidden from marrying or posing nude while she holds the crown.

No, what's wrong with Pelosi is that she's had one too many of these treatments:

These folks were travelers.

You sayin' my female kinfolk, 'got around'???Huh, are ye? ;-)

I think the so-called "red hair" of some of the Egyptian mummies, Chinese mummies, and "bog people" may be due to chemical changes from tannic acid and/or ochre used in ancient funerary methods. However, I saw a picture of the mummy of Ramses, and it looked like red hair to me.

If she is as loving of the frenchies as her countrymen... you could simply just wait for her to raise her arms and waive on camera... no PERSONAL and UP CLOSE inspection would be needed.

Do french women shave... their legs, or anything?
How bout mustaches?

"They have even found these ancients, as mummies, in northern China, and Mongolia. These folks were travelers."

That makes sense. Der Fraulein Duetschlander just doesn't roll off the non-Teutonic toungue.

I'll be glad to be a water-boy for the redhead authentication team by the way. Just let me run it by my wife. Hey hon, can I go with the guys to........TTTHHHHHHWAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!!

I don't get it. What's wrong with red hair?

"Is she a natural redhead. I volunteer for Inspection Team "

You want to check her armpits? Yuck. :)

Geez, these Germans are a nutty bunch, it's the blonds and brunettes that should be worried about their hair color.

Well, see, this old Granfer of mine, namens "Dal Riada", took a boat from Ireland to Scottia. (AD508)

A short time later, one of his kids went and married some girl with blue paint on her face(AD 845).

Bad genes, I guess - redheads all over the family tree.

[amused]

Stop befouling this beautiful expression of immaturity on this thread by dragging the french in by their malodourous body hair!

[LibKill]

I can't understand this teutonic prejudice against redheads. She's real pretty.

She won a trip to Egypt? I've been there, back before the islanazis started trying to kill foreign tourists. I advise her to pass on that trip. The pyramids look great on TV, they don't show you the gantlet of beggars and pickpockets who swarm every busload of tourists.

Our busload was mostly sailors and a few Marines. The swarm got their butts kicked that day.

Neanderthals became extinct about 28,000 years ago, the last dying out in southern Spain and southwest France. Don't think so.

Here I is, bubba.

[Erasmus]

Inquiring minds must know: Is she a natural redhead. I volunteer for Inspection Team to verify this important issue.

Unfortunately, that job falls to Hans "Hands" Blix.

[patton]

Stick with me, troops - I will bring us through this.

If I am lost, your contingency plan is to BREED!

[razorback-bert]

Is this her?
