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.

First the Germans are offending the Americans and the British, now they are being prejudiced against redheads? Uh oh.

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

Yet, it is Europe that walks around feeling superior.

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

Well...she can just put it down then....

[spokeshave]

She can hold my crown

Thank you for your application. However the Supervisor of the Red Head inspection team has decided that this particular case needs his personal attention. He thanks you for your volunteering and wishes you a happy life.

Sincerely,

The Supervisor ;-)

I wonder if they would consider it permissable to work as an intern and service the president.

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

I think Scott Ritter beat you to it -- long, long ago.

The Director of Inspections thanks his supervisors and employees for their outstanding and proactive work this past year. However, with current budget cuts, the Director will undertake all inpections currently conducted by the former staff as a cost effective management plan.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Buh-Bye! ;-)

Damn....not high enough on the totem pole!

And laugh lines. Must be those 3 hours of sunshine they get each year.

Redheads = Neanderthals (according to last year's freeper wisdom)

Neanderthals = Conservatives (according to a survey of all the redheads in my family, including me, Barbarossa)

Why does Miss Germany's crown say "Miss Germany" in English?

[Servant of the Nine]

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

If she is wearing the crown, she is obviously not nude, nor nekkid neither.

So9

[bigfootbob]

My thoughts too.

REDHEADED PING

winning a car and a trip to Egypt.

Become Miss Germany, win a car, go to Egypt, get gutted at the Pyramids by Islamic Jihad. Sounds like an update of a Wagner opera.

Wait a minute. The original St. Pauli girl was a red head. Not an Americanized Blonde strumpet.
Red hair is/was particularly German from the oldest times.
