She Was Robbed!

So this blog's favorite to win the 2004 Miss Universe title, Shandi Finnessey from Missouri, came in as the First Runner Up and will be waiting in the wings if the current Miss Universe is unable to fulfill her duties. The title went to Jennifer Hawkins, Miss Australia.

Even though she's from Australia, Miss Hawkins has a California surfer girl look about her. It's a decidedly fresher look than many of the other contestant photos I've seen (Shandi excluded, of course) circulating through the Yahoo! Most Emailed stories and photo page over the past week. Actually, the photos I've seen of Miss Hawkins reminded me of a photo I posted here back in February to celebrate the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit special. A photo of the lovely Miss Marisa Miller.

In fact, to keep the my blog's geeky comic book / Star Wars stuff to pretty girl photos ratio in the proper proportion, let's see that photo of young Miss Miller again, shall we.

That's enough. Next post will be about Batman or Darth Vader or something like that.
