And the winner is not the skinniest contestant, so beautiful and voluptuous, ah!!! And boy does she have a personality...<br /><br />Their dresses, stylish hair, headdresses, poise, seriousness of their face expression make our Westernized pageant contests (Miss Universe etc.) look like a Barbie dolls competition: everyone looks the same in their bikinis, high hills,over exaggerated make-up etc..<br /><br />I also noticed another similarity in thier culture with my culture (which is from a completely different continent/historical backgroud). Those beautiful bright flowers, roses on the black background textile - we use the same pattern on our famous Pavlovo-Posad shawls. Amazing!Nightreadingnoreply@blogger.com
