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.

For a 24 year old, she has some serious crows feet

That is what I was thinking. I'm turning forty and mine aren't that bad.

She won't be nude, she'll be wearing a crown :-).

I think she should have won - not because I have anything against redheads, she just has a softer, gentler look about her.

OK, and it doesn't look like her smile is forced. ;)

Regards, Ivan

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

Oh, gees, there is a quick test to find whether someone's color is real.... hint hint...

Or night clubs and smoke... drink

I'm assuming your post refers to Laura Meuller. Based on what I've seen, she gets my vote.

I looked at the hair very close, and consulted hubby (he's in the design biz) and her hair is

F A K E

You can tell because there's weird shades of red down at the bottom on the left that don't match.

FAKE FAKE FAKE red.
