Pumped to get a leg up on the competion, but not wanting to be a heel, Helga figures she is a shoe-in to win after revealing more to the judges than her hopes for world peace.

Things grew a bit chilly at the Miss Germany competition when several contestants were mortified to discover they’d chosen the same shoes.

To win it all was their big goal
Starving themselves took quite a toll
Eating lettuce and seeds
For donuts they’d plead
These beauty queens got to show sole.

“We are here to PUMP you up,” the German beauties told the judges.

Germany’s only set of identical septuplets (cousins of the Suleman 14) deny that they are all joined at the hip.

As a fitting tribute to his Bobness at Blogfest, all of the people he ran off shrieking with pearls in hand and heels on foot showed up to pay him homage.

The annual; ‘Haines most beautiful legs contest’, was held in Strut’gart Germany. Ex-Prez Bill Clinton was all hands on, as well as singer Robert Palmer to judge the contest. During the contest Robert, leaned towards Bill and said: “Ya’ know Mr. President, I don’t know whom to pick to win the title”.To which ex-prez Clinton responded:”I know what ya’ mean Robert, they’re all so ‘Simply Irresistible’.”

Hans, who hadn’t had a date in two years, took a deep breath and said “next” as he called another recently laid off German supermodel to fill out their paperwork for unemployment insurance. “Name and phone number please,” he said with a smile.

Unlike typical US beauty pageants that judge in the areas of talent, interview, swimsuit and evening gown, German beauty pageants involve a slightly more culturally relevant series of elements that include the beer stein poor, the schnitzel pound, the sausage pull and bare feet in pumps, (P4’us for short). Those Germans are a kinky bunch!
