WHO LET THE DOGS OUT???
Only jokerating. They look adorable.
You know what? I think I posted pretty much the exact same thing last year.
I need to get out more.
get out more, meet new people (person), see where things lead… that sort of thing
I hear ya.
No.
Way to let him down gently.
she’s thinking about it
Is it that time of year already?
Deadly, love the aul’ roses

it’s nearly time for the annual lovely girl’s competition.
Joking aside, most of these women make unbelievable contributions to their communities.
Something something lovely bottoms…
of course they ALL have lovely bottoms….
apart from the third from the left….
only joking, she wouldn’t look twice at me….back to my crying chair in my €800 a month wardrobe in smithfield
I met a girl before who had gotten into the competition as a joke, her friends all pitched in money to register her. She played it for deadpan comedy as long as she could keep it up, even in the Whatsapp groups behind the scenes. legend.
This is you, right? And you pretended it was comedy though it meant EVERYTHING.
damn, you sussed me out
(but no, they would have sussed out my weirdness too quickly)
Love the headline!
What a wonderful world…
calling it now. the one with the ‘fro.
Miss Waterford? So Miss Dublin gets cheated again…discrimination!
I was a rose, once upon a time.
As in, an actual rose
I wouldn’t doubt you Millie, too much of a non-conformist to win it alas?
I started roaring abuse at Daithi and was ‘escorted’ from the premises.
That wagon who took my spot didn’t win either.
You and Shirley Maclaine, althought she might have been a Thorn bush.
i’m more of a ‘mary from dungloe’ sort of guy.
“Look at them there, walking around” *puff, pant*
Hard to know what feminists think of this.
It’s very hard. Do I condemn them for perpetuating the kinds of competition that values women on their looks first and other attributes second.
On the other hand, who am I to tell her no?
Personally I think Loretta (aka Stan) from the PFJ ought to enter.
It’s a bit of harmless fun (for whoever enjoys it… and someone must or they wouldn’t keep doing it); the diaspora like sending their granddaughters back to the old country for a bit of blarney, no one takes it too seriously, let them get on with it.
Jaysus, that year went quickly.
