ZEN ON SUNDAY

Miss India Universe 2001, Bollywood actor, and human rights activist Celina Jaitley celebrates with a transgender during a news conference in Mumbai, India, on July 2, 2009. An Indian court on Thursday ruled gay sex was not a crime, a verdict that will bolster demands by gay and health groups that the government scrap a British colonial law which bans homosexual sex. If Beauty School could have afforded a graduation ceremony this year, Dean Harris and Prof. Chandni would have petitioned Dean Di Maggio to invite Celina to deliver the commencement address. Alas, in light of the recession, Dean Harris and Prof. Chandni have petitioned Dean Di Maggio to keep their jobs!

TONIGHT'S FEATURED FILM


Despite cutbacks at Beauty School, we still have a cadre of summer school students on campus. To help celebrate Independence Day in the US, we will be offering a screening of "The Miss Firecracker Contest" tonight following our traditional barbeque dinner prepared by our cafeteria matron, Madge. Be warned, she makes a mean Lemon Meringue Pie.

YOU GOTTA LOVE IT


The Deans and staff held a meeting to discuss next semester's reading requirements. In the process they came across this ad from the 1962 Miss Universe Programme. We all got a great chuckle out of it and plan to have it reproduced and hung in the Gerthie David Gallery. What tickled our fancy was well, where to begin? The man wearing a lampshade on his head covered in flowers while he smoked a cigarette. Then there is the under arm hair on the featured lady in the ad. And this was an ad for an airlines company. Too much.

FAVES FOR MISTER HONG KONG 2009

Early favorites for highly coveted Mister Hong Kong 2009 title...
Ng Wan Fu, Contestant #10
Kim Li, Contestant #8

From TVB News World: The 2009 Mr. Hong Kong contestants met with the press at a fitness center in Mongkok earlier in the week. Under the guidance of fitness instructors, the 12 contestants demonstrated on a variety of fitness equipment to show off their big muscles. This year's "Youth" group had only four contestants, while the "Mature" group contained eight people. The general quality of the participants was mediocre; most of the men were on the short and thin side. Wong Yi Hing look-a-like, Kim Li Wai Kin and "Pitman look-a-like”, Ng Wan Fu were the popular contestants. Both men admitted that they had girlfriends already. The 12 contestants wore sportswear outfits at the press conference yesterday, with each person displaying their muscles. As the MC at the event, Sharon Chan Man Chi noted that Kim Li and Ng Wan Fu had the most potential. Sharon has served as a judge in the Mr. Hong Kong contest each year. She felt that the quality of this year’s contestants was quite good. Aside from appearance, it was also important for the contestant to possess talent. Regarding the short stature of this year’s participants, Sharon explained that some of the “Youth” contestants were still young. Height was not the most critical factor, it was important to consider internal qualities as well. MORE HERE...
