Irish lass new ’Miss World’
2003-12-07
No, this isn’t the Gweilo Dairies.
Ireland’s Rosanna Davison was crowned Miss World on Saturday, beating 105 other women from around the globe at the competition held at this southern Chinese tropical resort. The 19-year-old Davison - daughter of Chris De Burgh, the singer best known for his 1986 hit ``Lady in Red’’ - accepted her tiara with minimum fuss, waving calmly to the audience as the other contestants hugged and kissed her while gold confetti were fired out of a mock cannon. ``I was just so thrilled about being placed in the top five,’’ she said afterward, grinning broadly. ``I didn’t think I’d get this far.’’ Davidson also won the ``Beach Beauty’’ award.
And well deserved it was.

I think it's wonderful that we can have an occasional Miss World contest without riots in the streets and bodies piled on the curb. But then, China's a civilized country...

#6  Lucky,Sanya is in the southern part of Hainan Island. It's truly a tropical paradise. I've lived and worked in China for 8 years now. Major US oil company is my master.

#5  Then again, Fred, it would be nice to have the occassional internet sex columnist in China NOT being banned for publishing. China's savagery is just beyond the surface.

#4  I think anywhere with Ms. Davison would be pretty close to paradise. Not even .com would boot her for eating crackers in bed.

We oughta hijack al-Jizz and beam her picture 24/7 -- that would definitely help the WoT.
