The nominating process has ended!!! Below are the nine fibs babes who were nominated. Above is the poll. Please make your vote based on the babes overall beauty; both physical and intangible. The voting will go on until February 28th 12:00AM PST. In the following week there will be a bracket put together of the talent portion of the contest, the backgammon tournament of the fibs babes!

great idea, resh .. i voted early, but wish i could vote often .. i'm in  with almost all of them .. picking only one to vote for was most difficult .. btw, are you going to have a "Miss Personality" category, too? although who could beat manxcat in that race?

here's a rose for each of you

"Esta Dulcinea del Toboso, tantas veces en esta historia referida, dicen que tuvo la mejor mano para salar puercos que otra mujer de La Mancha".


Ardonza Lorenzo (alias Dulcinea del Toboso) 
Posiblemente la mujer más fea de la historia que no contaba con defectos físicos aparentes. Ésta mujer (si se puede llamar así) era más fea que un frigorífico por detrás, era tan fea que los lobos encendían fuego en el bosque para que no se acercase, tan fea que las autoridades sanitarias le daban tabaco. Pero nuestro heroe contaba con algo que no contaban los demás: La técnica gamba. Para él (y hoy en día para muchos) la mujer cuenta desde el cuello para abajo, lo demás da igual.

Nice reference!     How can I get this in English?

I don't know what inspiration is but when it comes I hope it finds me working. - Picasso

indeed .. Spanish is such a beautiful language .. i've just started reading Don Quixote again, thus my numerous quixotic references lately and my adopted steed below, Rocinante

Cervantes, it is said, should be read at three times in a man's life, at youth, middle-age, and in his later years .. now, in my middle years, i reserve the last read for the time i can read it in the original Spanish, even if only aloud to myself in a side by side translation .. read the excerpt below aloud to yourself, it will melt the coldest of hearts

now, find that lovely picture of Dulcinea and read it again in English here and prepare to giggle

Spanish is still the loving tongue, just be careful not to be too agreeable when it is whispered in your ear by some ol' cowboy 


"Hay quien dice que entre sus líneas hay un plan escondido para Destruir el mundo o la receta de la Coca Cola" 

This may be of interest to resh_lakish:

Dulcinea, según esta interpretación, sería una metáfora de la "Shehina", la presencia Divina en la religión judía, y por ello Don Quijote insiste en que las personas que encuentra en su viaje "rindan omaje a la ermozura de Dulcinea, malgrado ke no la konosen i no la vieron nunka".

And having the nicks on that group photo is superb! I now can see what some of my favourites look like.

Hi, LuckyDice!

I may be in Britain from May to October this year, doing my charity walk around the UK, if all goes well. Maybe see lots of you FIBS guys and dolls then?
