Miss Universe Canada Is...

   NOT Jenna Talackova. The former Walter Talackova (above) created quite a stir weeks ago when she was booted from the pageant because she was not a natural born female. She appealed the decision, going as far as hiring feminist lawyer Gloria Allred. But pageant owner Donald Trump overruled the committee and let Jenn compete.
   Last (Saturday) night the pageant went ahead with Jenna. And was won by Sahar Biniaz. Jenn didn't make the "final 5", but was part of the top 12. Historic for a transgendered contestant. Among a total of 62 competitors. She was also named one of 4 "miss congeniality" winners.
   Biniaz now moves on to the main world pageant later this year.
   Did I watch? Fuck no. I simply don't care for "beauty" pageants, although I'm sure a lot of folks did just to see how Jenna wound up.
   So, congratulations Jenna for making it as far as you did. But as for not winning......maybe it's for the best.
   'Nuff said.
