Well, E-X-C-U-S-E ME for having a set of eyes (that do need glasses to see).
BTW: How about “Palin/Bateman” instead? Now THERE’s a ticket I wouldn’t mind seeing for eight years. Yeah, sexist as it is, it would be “Easy on the eyes.”
I nominate you sir for post of the week!!!!
As you say, it’s a tough gig.
It's so gratifying to know that there are talented FReepers who are willing to make incredible sacrifices in the pursuit of art and cultural diversity. When a difficult, unpleasant job is at hand we can always count on Conservatives to get the job done. Bravo!
Agree the rest have hip bones that stick out so far you could hang you hat on them.
The jury in its infinite wisdom has cleared the entire docket for the day with two words....Not guilty!
You're absolutely right of course, and I can think of no better way to do it than to extend our appreciative hands toward these fine representatives of other cultures, and demonstrate our compassion and stellar abilities in the process.
part of me is reaching out as we speak.....
Your appreciation for cultural diversity is commendable.
Sounds great to me. ;)
My sentiments exactly:)Thankyou.
She is obviously a magnificent representative of a proud nation and vibrant culture. I would be delighted to personally oversee a re-do of her judging as it was obviously flawed and needs FReeper intervention.
But, I think it is important here to get to the real purpose of this thread. GOD creates beauty everywhere and it is always refreshing to see beauty and to relish in its display....
Truer words were never spoken....agreed on all counts.
Thank you so much for your kind and gracious sentiment :-)
Multiculturalism can be an uplifting experience, and I'm so glad that you appreciate it as well :-)
Perhaps she didn't make the finals? From your kindly-supplied photo, I would have to say that this is more evidence of a completely flawed judging process that obviously needs FReeper intervention. A complete re-do of the entire competition is in order with FReepers monitoring all aspects of the process.
You're quite welcome and I'm delighted that your cultural sensitivities are in line with so many here. :-)
Something is stirring in my Germanic roots....
Wow!!
Jokes aside, this post is one of the best posts in promoting harmony among different peoples.
As I reviewed this post carefully I realized that I could have intelligent conversations equally with Miss India, Miss Mexico, Miss Russia and Miss South Africa.
In fact I would like to chat with all four of them simultaneously.
God truly is great! He has once agained opened my eyes to the beauty that exists in Nature (Miss Venezuela NOT covered by the “nature” part of that comment)

Miss Venezuela, Hannely Quintero Ledezma

I don’t know about intellectual stimulation but the pages of my internet seem to be sticking together.
This thread makes me want to vastly expand my knowledge of foreign relations...
Attractive young women - and I think it’s nice that they didn’t have to wear high-heeled shoes to walk on the beach.
Very nice. Thanks.
