... that this women is being attacked for her public service like this ...
Miss Universe officials have a message for Catalina Robayo, Colombia's entry into Monday's contest: Don't forget to wear underwear.How dare they display such cultural insensitivity. Colombian women going commando, well - it is a critical part if not Colombian culture ... then ... at least to mine.
Robayo, one of 89 beauties from around the world competing to win the Donald Trump-owned contest, has been reprimanded for making appearance in tiny skirts - with no panties.
"Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate," a source told Fox News. "People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out."
VIVA CATALINA ROBAYO!!!
(now I feel guilty and must go PT)
Hat tip SP and the Colombian Women Fan Club.

ReplyDeleteSal, I think that post 9/11, the men from Ladder 62 / Engine 99 say it better than any of us ever could.
For your viewing pleasure.
No pictures no proof!!!
ReplyDeleteGator, shame on you! Report to Sensitivity Training this instant. You and the rest of the guys from Ladder 62/Engine 99:

I think I'm just going to tiptoe out of this particular room today... >:o
ReplyDeleteThere may be slightly more to this panty reprimand than teases the eye. When was the last time this sort of reprimand happened in a Miss Universe pageant that we knew about? Is this beauty unique among all contestants of past decades, or have journalists become more salacious (rhetorical)?
ReplyDeleteColumbia is a staunch U.S. ally and the pageant airs tonight. Viewrship suffers from absence of a large female audience from the start. However, Skippy, etc. will now almost certainly be joined by rating-busting multitudes of like-minded enthusiasts. Cheap advertising can be the most effective.
Some years back, a pilot buddy offered for me to tag along on the jump seat for his 4 leg day...Turns out that the aircraft for the second leg had a mechanical and was likley going to cancel...So, while we were waiting for the verdict, I ambled back up into the gate area for a bit...So happened that leg was to be carrying a bunch of Miss USA contestants to Shreveport...I wasn't aware of who they were at first, I thought they were just a bunch of fairly hot college girls. As they were getting frustrated with the delay, I asked the one closest to me why they all happened to be headed to SHV. Well, this girl was actually offended that I didn't know who they were, and was kinda real huffy about it all...Anyway, as we sat there and I had a chance to observe them for a while, I can say I've never seen such a bunch of vacuous, self-absorbed batch of women...Wayyyy worse than what you might ever see at Hooters...Some months later, I saw that blond on a reality show about the pageant, and our airline had lost her bags. Served her right.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. that encounter, ruined me for life when it come to beauty queens.
(not that I won't look or anything though...)
Pardon me for being less than interested in what your friend Skippy is outraged at. His despicable rantings about September 11th are in the best Paul Krugman style. Complete with being closed for comments. "For obvious reasons".
ReplyDeleteAt least at Hooters, they bring you a burger.
ReplyDeleteURR,
ReplyDeleteIn some ways, I compartmentalize my relationships. I am and 80/20 person - but with some people I will take 30/70. I am willing to accept their imperfections in thought, as I see it, as long as they accept my imperfections in thought. Of course, I think I am more tolerant of Skippy's ideas than he is of mine - and that might be true - but that is OK. Skippy was and is always welcome on my front porch; though he needs to be put in time-out now and then.
Also, for the record - I don't think Skippy has voiced and opinion on this - but based on his previous opinions - I think on this topic we will be in full alignment.
Your prerogative.
ReplyDeletesid, you should not have been surprised. These girls have been told (since birth in some cases) that they are more beautiful and more important than everyone else around them. These fables have been continuously reinforced with prizes and public appearances.
ReplyDeleteHuh - never heard "go PT" used as a euphemism for that before.
ReplyDeleteA variation of thinking about the game, apparently.
ReplyDeleteSince then (late '90s), I've seen it in alot of young women...
ReplyDeleteI call them "Me-Me's"...
But hey, it usually don't hurt the lookin' none...
8-)
I BLAME BUSH!!! :)
ReplyDeleteURR, "thanks" for providing that hyperlink to "far east cynic." I want my 30 seconds it took to read that posting back. At least I know now to never click on a hyperlink attached to "skippy" or his drivel.
ReplyDeleteDespicable rantings? Pusht!
ReplyDeleteCompare Great Britian in the blitz with the post 9/11 United States and we do not come off well at all.
We acted, and still act like, a nation of cowards. You don't toss your freedom in the sh*t-can at the first sign of trouble. Of course we were scared, you master your fear; you don't let it master you. Remember your Kipling:
<span>"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew </span>
<span>To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
</span>
<span>Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on'"</span>
So, now the group that desires the Federal government be restricted to only its Constitutionally-enumerated powers is the "enemy"?
ReplyDeleteOne thing you do hit on, which is a symptom of the disease, is that we are constantly told that victimhood is honorable, and those who choose to defend themselves are no better than their attackers.
Which is how the eloi got to be eloi.
Further comment would be an official thread-jack, which would be em-bare-ass-ing.
ReplyDeleteGAWD I slay me.
It's for the bigger man to be as understanding...hell, he's put up with me for over 5 years now! 8-)
ReplyDelete<span>"At least at Hooters, they bring you a burger."</span>
ReplyDelete<span></span>
<span>And as long as she pours my beer I'm good with it too :) </span>
Yup, till they open their mouth they're just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI will volunter to be said Ms. Catalina Robayo's wardobe nanny. Verifying daily that she is properly clothed with said woman's undergarments. I just need to make sure the compensatation with pay and bennies is correct. I will take anything over 1797 Columbia Pesos to be said nanny. The only thing I need to figure out is how to clear this job oppurtunity with Mrs. Southern Air Pirate. 8-)
ReplyDeleteI talked about it in the half-hour in between.... oh never mind! :-D
ReplyDeleteOuch! But hey, I did immediately google "Catalina Robayo." The swimsuit photos, smoking!
ReplyDeleteWIKIPEDIA may not be accurate, but they are current.
ReplyDelete"According to FOX411’s Pop Tarts, the 22-year-old Miss Colombia, Catalina Robayo allegedly made the rounds at official appearances in tiny skirts without her underpants.<sup></sup><span></span> The said photos made their way online and were widely searched, and there was much rejoicing."<span></span>

ReplyDeleteIndeed. TLC, which used to actually present educational programming worth watching, is even in on the act:

Before anyone asks -- it's difficult to miss the commercials for that insipid show, even during casual channel-surfing...

ReplyDelete10 minutes later and I'm still laughin'!
ReplyDeleteThat's what the Front Porch if for Ken. Givers!
ReplyDeleteYou and your Colombian chicks.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's some other South American chicks that are well represented: Cote d' Pablo, better known as Ziva David of NCIS, my favorite show on the tube ;)
ReplyDeleteSal;
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us on task. She is spectacular...........
You can join me down in the tunnels. The girls at UW Madison are just as hot as the ones at Columbia.
ReplyDeleteSorry, boss, not much love for the Latinas last night:

Well in my book, if she is confident enough to flash a little whisker biscuit, she can be Miss Universe.
ReplyDeleteQuick scan - this post has the most comments of any on the page. I wonder why?
ReplyDeleteFinally got the pun 5 days after originally posted. Way to suck, Salty Gator.
