This is from the Miss World website:

Azra Akin
Turkey
I was raised in the Netherlands by my parents who are both of Turkish Decent and I have a little sister. I have finished my secondary education and would like to on to study at the academy for Art & design and languages. At the age of four I began to take ballet lessons and since then it became my passion, I also enjoy modern dance, street dance and the belly dance. My hobbies are: drawing, reading and playing the German flute. In sport I like swimming, running and general fitness

Someone better not let Weird Bill see this, he'll be ringing her up and asking if she'd next like to take up the Arkansas piccolo. ;)

Regards, Ivan

That deserves immortality.

...raised in the Netherlands by my parents who are both of Turkish Decent..."

Well, they are probably decent since they opted to get out of Turkeyland..as to your descent - well, that's more problematical.

What, no obligatory throwaway line about how much she wants to help to her native land to which she'll never return 'cause, well, to be blunt, she's way too good for, now?
