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.

Woh! Put a couple of bier Steins in her hands, and she would be a looker!

[Erasmus]

Now I know whats up wth Pelusi....that permanent faked smile....looks like she needs a double insulated electrical device

Of exactly what kind, we had best not speculate.

[Tax-chick]

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

We did! Now what? How old do they have to be to sign them up for the Neanderthal Special Forces?

[Tax-chick]

Gag! Forget the hair ... what's she wearing, a Hefty bag? Nominee for the worst dressed list.

(Yes, I realize this will be a minority opinion ... and the hair still looks fake!)

[Erasmus]

The girls are partially obscuring their identifying sign.

Let's see...

The one on the left is a Schleswig and the one on the right is a Holstein.

Neanderthal Special Forces (NASF) entry requirements include a blackbelt, expert marksmanship, and a basic knowledge of improvised field-expedient devices.

Ask my 8-year-old, he can outline the program.

[Tax-chick]

Great! My 8-year-old can shoot, and improvise expediently in the field. Can he substitute being really sneaky for the black-belt requirement?

Finally I see the boys' future ...

[Happy2BMe]

Ivan - you sure know how to pick 'em!

hehe... she "won" a trip to Egypt.

What's in Egypt?

[patton]

No. Enroll that kid in a dojo.

It will save his life, and make his career.

Goes double for girls.

[Happy2BMe]

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

Ivan, Ivan, Ivan.... now admit it bloke - you got the hots for Nancy!

”NO-NO Nancy Pelosi”

[Happy2BMe]

"Is this her?"

Shhhoooo pig!

What ever happend to the frauleins?

[eldoradude]

Celts are found in Eire, U.K., France, Germany, and Spain.

[BenLurkin]

How did the old joke go?

"The ideal Aryan is as tall as Goebbels, as slim as Goering and as Blonde as Hitler"?

[BenLurkin]

Definitely a die job. (Married to wife who was once a natural red-head)

[Tax-chick]

Ah, those two little words, "was once ..."

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am a real redhead, Hessian ( German) and Irish with 4 redheaded great grandmothers.

That gal isn't a redhead, look at the black eyebrows.

[Koblenz]

I used to live in Germany, albeit about 10 years ago. I can explain something.

When I lived in Germany, many many young women (those under 35 or so) died their hair this totally unnatural red color. It was almost maroonish black. Not a great color, and I never saw it in the states. A lot of Germans thought it was horrible, however. So I think this might be a case of backlash against the red dye...

[BenLurkin]

A very poor choice of words on my part. BenLurkin isn't the spry young buck he once was, and Mrs. BenLurkin gets more beautiful every happy year we are married.

[Mr. Thorne]

hmmm, I went a' lookin' for Redheads...

Lookie what I found!

So great is her power, that I actually watched the end of Larry King a few nights back. She, Herself was on.
