She deserved to pop the champagne
Reader comment on item: Affirmative Action in Beauty Contests?
Submitted by Mark D. (United States), May 17, 2010 at 21:10
She really looks so beautiful.
There isn't a word in the dictionary for how sexy she looks.
If beauty were time, she'd be eternity.
She is not as common as hot dogs at a baseball game.
She's a cut above the rest.
At the top of the scale.
She is far and away the best, so help me God.
Saw the bikini pic in the Daily News.
Whoa!
Mark D.
