"Each actress went trough a carefully planned selection process lasting many months. The sole exception is Lauren Bush, daughter of the U.S. President and now débutante model chosen as symbol of the Country which the Calendar 2002 is dedicated to."

On the web site, as you can see, she is identified as the pres daughter.

Even Pirelli isn't perfect.

[DrLiberty]

Wouldn't that frost liberals? A Bush marrying into the Royal Family.

Too late. The Bushes are already related to the English Royal Family (House of Windsor), who are actually of German Stock (Family name: Wettig). I beleive that George Bush Sr is 16th cousin twice removed to the Queen.

They are also related to other Royal families of Europe as well. Surprised???!!!

[LarryLied]

Hmmm...didn't know that, have heard of a Paul Revere connection. Anything is OK as long as there is no relation to the Kennedy's. That would be beyond the pale.

[mrsmith]

Gasp! It is a conspiracy!!!

(Thanks, I didn't know that.)

[Shanda]

I saw something awhile ago which said a large number of famous Americans including several presidents (the Bushes being two of them) were descended from a 17th or 18th century preacher who was otherwise not particularly well known. He was supposed to have been unusually intelligent.

This is from the Pirelli calendar website:
The sole exception is Lauren Bush, daughter of the U.S. President and now débutante model chosen as symbol of the Country which the Calendar 2002 is dedicated to.

I guess someone should straighten them out, before the libs start raggin' on the Commander-in-Chief.

The tabloids were trying to tie the niece in with Prince William earlier in the year. Supposedly they exchanged letters.

At age 17, she's not too old for Prince Harry, either.

[Shanda]

Prince Harry is the really, really handsome one. Prince William could do better than Britney, of course I know one girl who would suit him just fine.

[Savage Beast]

The Bushes certainly have impressive children--and beautiful!

[Savage Beast]

The Bushes are descendants of English kings.

[damnlimey]

"Wasn't that Britney Spears"
No,this is Britney Spears

[mykdsmom]

She's a beautiful girl...of course, being of the female persuation I prefer Jeb's son.

He's a REAL hottie:

[Savage Beast]

Wow! Who's that dreamy blonde at the top?

[Savage Beast]

Compare the fine, sterling Bushes with the chrome and Hollywood, parvenu Kennedys.

[Savage Beast]

If Charles Windsor had any sense he'd be chasing her all over the landscape.

[Savage Beast]

That is...chasing Lauren or one of George's twins...all over the landscape!

[Rebelbase]

I hope she has good bodyguards/security. Her family connecections, celebrity status and European jaunts would make here a nice target for kidnapping. Especially with regard to the current terrorist atmosphere.

[Shanda]

I was on Classmates once and noticed they had Britney's high school annual (I forget which year but it was in Louisianna).

She was named most attractive, and was on the basketball team. She also had black hair.

"Babylon 5" may well outlast our current civilization!

"B-5" IS what "Startrek" attempted to be--"B-5" reflects American values & struggles & conflicts & triumphs & hopes & Dreams in a refined "Story" as powerful as ANY "Shakespearian Play!"

"B-5" is a "little-noted" MASTERPIECE!

ALL of our "Western Values" are explored & "affirmed" in a series of Brilliant story "Vignettes," written & "performed" with a power seldom seen in a "TV Series!"-------{"Londo & J'Kar" trapped in a "stuck elevator,"--Mortal Enemies, forced to discover their mutual "Humanity!"}

"B-5" will outlast us all--& will show our "descendants" HOW GREAT we could be!

"W" is trying to stir THAT within us which "B-5" tells us we possess as part of our Heritage as "Humans!!"

Um, I did notice that she's quite an attractive young lady.
