Normally I don’t find beauty pageant women all that attractive, there’s just something too wholesome and boring about them, but I’ve got to say that this time I may be mistaken. Here’s former Miss Universe Rachael Finch working some short shorts and a sweet eighties style cut-off tank top. I like it, she looks like she should be teaching a Jazzercise class to a bunch of retro hotties. See now that’s something I’d like to see. Nice abs.
Transgender Jenna Talackova Participates In Miss Universe Canada Pageant So what do y’all think of Jenna and those lil transgender cakes??? Pageant history was made at the Miss Universe Canada competition in Toronto Thursday night, as Jenna Talackova became the first transgender female to compete for the title. The 24-year-old took part in the evening gowns and swimsuits competitions Thursday, wearing a white clingy gown with an open back during the gown event, then switching into a tiny white bikini that showed off her endlessly long legs for the swimsuit event. It was hard to miss Talackova, if for no other reason than the fact that the 6’1 blonde beauty towered at least half a head higher over the other 61 competitors. Still, Talackova didn’t nab any of the smaller prizes handed out Thursday night that would have automatically bumped her to Saturday night’s final round. Those awards included “Best Body,” “Best Runway Model,” and the “People’s Choice” award. While many see Talackova’s hard-fought place on the stage as a victory for transgender men and women, friends and relatives of some of the other contestants say it’s unfair that Talackova is stealing the spotlight. Donavon Powell, who was there to cheer for his 24-year-old girlfriend, Vaughan Marr of Cremona, Alta., says Talackova may have overshadowed other worthy challengers. “It’s a little bit one-sided and there’s a lot of focus on maybe Jenna and maybe the issues surrounding it,” he told The Canadian Press. “I think it’s good there’s attention brought to it but I think it might be outweighing and overshadowing the rest of the competition in general.” Talackova has been the subject of international media fascination ever since she was disqualified for not being a “naturally born female” because she had undergone gender reassignment surgery when she was 19.

Ashley Judd says medication caused her face to appear puffy lately, not plastic surgery as many assumed – and she’s far from pleased that people assumed that. The Missing star wrote in The Daily Beast: “The Conversation about women’s bodies exists largely outside of all of us, while it is also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us.” “The Conversation about women happens everywhere. We are described and detailed, our faces and bodies analyzed and picked apart, our worth ascertained and ascribed based on the reduction of personhood to simple physical objectification .” Judd continues to explain that as a general rule, she has refused to read media articles related to herself, because, “I do not want to give my power, my self-esteem, or my autonomy, to any person, place, or thing outside myself.” “I thus abstain from all media about myself.” When it came to the controversy over her unusually puffy face while promoting her new series, however, the actress got wind of it – and felt that there were underlying issues critically important to her and impossible to overlook. Judd lamented the “pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic” rumors that embodies what “all girls and women in our culture endure every day.” “We are unable at times to identify ourselves as our own denigrating abusers, or as abusing other girls and women. A case in point is that this conversation was initially promulgated largely by women; a sad and disturbing fact.” “If this conversation is going to be had, I will do my part to insist that it is a feminist one, because it has been misogynistic from the start. Who makes a fantastic leap from being sick, or gaining some weight over the winter, to a conclusion of plastic surgery?” “Our entire culture, that’s who. The insanity has to stop, because as focused on me as it appears to have been, it is about all girls and women.” Do you think that Ashley Judd has a point about body issues, or is she making too much out of it?

Transgender Miss Universe Canada contestant Jenna Talackova says in a new interview that even at four years old, she knew she was “in the wrong body.” Talackova, who was booted from Miss Universe Canada for not being a “naturally born female,” then allowed back in after all, sat down with ABC’s 20/20 . Accompanied by her mother and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, the beauty revealed to Barbara Walters that at birth, she was actually named “Walter.” Jenna Talackova Interview Talackova, 23, who was called “tranny” and “it” by bullies at school, started hormone therapy at 14. Later, she underwent gender reassignment surgery. That converted her male genitalia to female and made her the woman she is now. “It was terribly painful,” Talackova told Walters of the procedure, “but seeing something on your body for that long and not even being able to look at myself in the mirror because I couldn’t stand seeing the other part, it was very rewarding, too.” To complete her physical transformation, Jenna Talackova said, she also received breast implants and had her Adam’s apple removed in the following years. Her legal transformation became complete as she changed her Canadian driver’s license, passport and birth certificate to reflect her gender reassignment. She is now recognized as female by the Canadian government, and lives a full life as a heterosexual woman. She says she has a boyfriend, a man she says is near her age. He is “very supportive … just an amazing man.” And she’s taken the beauty pageant controversy and turned it into an opportunity to help pave the way for other transgendered men and women. “I feel like the universe, the creator just put me in this position as an advocate,” she told Walters. “And now it’s like this, and I’ll take that position. If it’s helping anybody else, by sharing my story and with my actions, then I feel great about it.” The Miss Universe Canada pageant takes place May 19. Do you think she should be disqualified because of her transgender status?
With all this business about the transgendered Miss Universe Canada contestant in the news lately , I thought I’d check the woman person out. Here’s Jenna Talackova and her ambulance chasing lawyer in New York the other day. I don’t know, she still looks like a dude to me. I bet she’s got a really big clit. Ha!
