The 56th International Rose of Tralee Festival - 2014 Edition

Just 5 days away now from Ireland’s premier competition for sweet, wholesome young females who you’d be proud be to bring home to Mammy. But yet again the final looks like a poor standard from the pictures provided to the perving customer on the official website.

My four against the field are:
Catharine Joyce (Western Canada), Cyndi Crowell (Texas), Imelda Finnegan (Sydney) and Claire Curran (Kentucky), although I’m willing to bet that despite looking like a bit of a drag queen in her photo, former Miss Kerry Patrice McGillycuddy (Abu Dhabi) may have been hard done by the camera and could also contend for the big prize.

I had assumed that similar to the situation in darts, it was against the rules to enter competitions run by rival franchises, but obviously that’s not the case, which leaves me hope that we might yet see last year’s Miss Clare, the lovely Lauren Guilfoyle, represent her county on the biggest stage of all.

Just looking at the various regional Roses also while doing my research and was very disappointed to see that Armagh Rose Nicola O’Hare hasn’t made the cut for the final. For shame, judges.

The one from Piles neck of the woods looks pure filthy

Philadelphia or Toronto on first viewing

Photos are very deceptive.

A quick scout around Facebook confirms this theory

That is some amount of hideous looking women.

Very poor standard for this year’s Lovely Girls competition.

The Luxembourg one is lovely though.

Carlow has to be in the running.

Irish speaker & a doctor.

Also the Cork Rose is Anna Geary the Cork hurling captain which couldn’t hurt. Might be one for the betting

Her pic doesn’t do her justice, shes not a bad looking bird at all.

Yes… The Abu Dhabi rose… really from Kerry… is much nicer looking in person.

Christ most of the Aussie ones are absolute munters

From both necks of my wood. Don’t know her but I’ve seen her around a couple of times. She seems alright.

Careful now.

Point of order: post pictures instead of links please.

@Thrawneen - would you not enter as an escort next year and pen a behind the scenes exposé for an online publication

Her Facebook page tells a different story :frowning:

I suspect that ship has sailed for Thrawneen

Facebook Girl would have walked the Sydney Rose competition.

In fairness, I don’t think Thrawneen is either i) gay or ii) a turf-munching simpleton, mate.

She probably wouldn’t have taken that fellas cock out of her mouth long enough to enter it though.
