Speaking of cows…

without comments

No, I lie, I lie, I secretly love the Rose of Tralee even though it offends all my instincts. I warmed to the contest following a reluctant work assignment where I had to cover the fucking thing. Three days of booze and dancing in Tralee later and I was converted, even mildly emotionally attached.

So let me be the voice of authority and give you my quick Rose round-up.

The good

 Aoife Kelly

Tipp Rose: Bit of a ride isn’t she? I hope that’s not too photoshopped and in real life she looks like an old hag.

 Niamh O'Hanlon

Cork Rose: She may be doing a Bergdorf Blonde but this Corkie is pure Oireland. Even though she speaks German. Heil!

 Hannah McDonnell

Dublin Rose: Winsome? Check. Nice bone stucture? Check. Works with retards? Check.

 Belinda Brown

London Rose: Addin some FLAVA! Hurrah!

The Middlin’

 Lee McClenaghan

South Australia Rose: Points for being all natural, points off for being all natural. Points for having healthy looking hair. Let’s hope she has some kick ass talent.

 Gemma Hughes

Coventry Rose: The poor cow should get a prize for living in Coventry at least. The place makes Milton Keynes look like Paris in springtime.

 Aislinn Ryan

New Zealand Rose: While her presentation is excellent, I am deeply suspicious of the side profile and believe her nose to be the size of the Franz Josef glazier.

 Colleen Tully

Philadelphia Rose: I mean, she’s alright, but looks far too fucking chipper for my liking..

 Karina Higgins

Toronto Rose: OMYGAAAD TEEEETH! HAIR! TEETH HAIR!

The WhatTheFuck

 Sinead Cunningham

Southern California Rose: Slow turn out for the SC heats this year eh?

 Fiona McConnell

Liverpool Rose: Why?

 Cailyn McDermott

Boston Rose: Representing the preppy chinny section

 Hannah Bradley

Sydney Rose: Maybe the dingo took your tweezers?

Special award for the most porn star looking Rose

 Heidi Connolly

Your typical mouthy cow from Cavan

Roll over Miss Ireland it is time for Moos Ireland- a beauty contest for cows…

Though, given the state of the women in Cavan, I’d wager the cows are far prettier..
