FIT TO BE TIED

What with all the male pulchritude on parade right now at Manhunt International 2010, Mister International 2010, and Mister Spain 2010, Dean Harris is fit to be tied. He is just beside himself! And to top it all off, there is Nueva Cara 2010, a contest sponsored by the Spanish edition of Men's Health. The contest is down to five finalists:

-Bernardo Gares, Alzira-Valencia, 31, Sector del automóvil
-Fran Ruiz, Guarnizo-Cantabria, 25, Carpintero
-Abraham Iglesias, Las Palmas, 32, Ingeniero en Informática de Sistemas
-José Ygarza, Madrid, 26, Estudiante de Arte Dramático
-Paco Talavera, Sevilla, 23, Militar

Dean Harris kept the above information in Spanish, as it is so much more sexier-sounding in Spanish.

Last year's winner of Nueva Cara was Fran Fiol, who is now competing in Mister Spain 2010. Dean Harris predicts that Fran Fiol will win Mister Spain 2010 and Paco Talavera will be Nueva Cara 2010 and Mister Spain 2011!

Here's Paco!

Speaking of predictions, Beauty School's BMOC 2010 Peter Menky of Slovak Republic will be Manhunt International 2010, and Darragh Hayes of Ireland will be Mister International 2010.

SEGRÉ, France — The 19 beauty queens were comely in their evening gowns, blushing in their swimsuits and heels.

MISS COLOMBIOBAMA

According to an AFP report, the Miss Colombia organization says that the new Miss Colombia 2010 Catalina Robayo would "...love to meet U.S. President Barack Obama and travel to Dubai, to meet its modern and mega infrastructure."

With the possible exception of Dean Harris, Miss Colombia 2010 may be the only person in the world who still has faith in President Obama. Needless to say, Dean Harris will extend an official invitation to Miss Colombia to visit Beauty School to deliver the 2011 commencement address.

MISS COLOMBIA 2010

Miss Valle Maria Catalina Robayo is the new Miss Colombia 2010. She won the title last night during a glittering, gala ceremony in Cartagena. Maria is 21 and a law student at the Pontifica Universidad Javeriana in Cali. She will compete at Miss Universe 2011. First runner-up was Miss Magdalena Lizeth Carolina Gonzales. She will be Colombia's representative at Miss International 2011. Rounding out the top five were Miss Huila Natalia Valenzuela, Miss Bolivar Tatiana Nájera, and Miss Bogotá D.C. Diana Mina.
