I was looking for a graphic to feature this week. There was only one choice. You might want to avert your eyes (click on the photo to enlarge it).
This is Miss Canada 2015's hockey-themed costume for the recent Miss Universe contest. As one wag said, 'It really sticks out!' Yes, Chanel Beckenlehner really scored a hat trick with her fellow Canadians (look closely to see her black eye) although the judges gave her a game misconduct penalty for this one. Oh, Canada!
The overall pageant winner was Paulina Vega of Colombia, whose costume had delicate patterns of a white powdery substance. The judges were blown away.
Wait'll next year!
On a brighter note: Over 60 jobs this week!
