Update on the Rose of Tralee

Baldy

THE TALLAGHT ROSE
Laura wore a lovely blue shoulderless number that nicely showed off her tattooes (on both shoulders). For community service she gave lessons at the local boxing club. Unfortunately, her talent (breaking into an 'E'-class Mercedes live, on stage) didn't impress the judges.

THE BALLSBRIDGE ROSE
Siobhan was looking grand in her slinky £1900 dress (from a designer shop in the Powerscourt Centre), and her community work of sending 3000 parcels of "The Body Shop" camomile massage oil and exfoliating body towels to Ethopia had gone down a storm. However she resigned in disgrace when it was revealed her daddy had asked the local TD to intervene in the judging process.

THE BRAY ROSE
Despite being able to touch her tongue to her forehead and make rolling motions with her belly, Anna didn't make it to the final - accepting the prize would have meant violating her parole conditions. We never got to hear her rousing rendition of Garth Brooks 'Friends in Low Places'.

THE LIMERICK ROSE
Was disqualified for stabbing the Leitrim Rose.

THE CONNEMARA ROSE
Brid made a lovely dress out of sea shells and was ready to sing on stage the dance anthem "Sandstorm" (she had recently heard it in one of the lovely new bars in Galway city). But she didn't make it to Tralee because her tractor (laden with bog - might as well take a load along on the same trip) broke down only halfway along the N21.

THE RATHMINES ROSE
Kim had it all- charm, community awareness, and a great voice... but the Rathmines Rose actually turned out to be a man, and ran off to elope with his escort (they'll be starting their honeymoon trip with Bingo in The George this Sunday).

THE BALLYFERMOT ROSE
Sharin was lovely girl styled in a lovely white silk dress with matching Nike Swoosh that blended very well with the Air Max.
Wearing a collection of sovereigns, spangaldy 12" earings and
sporting the Mr T collection aroung the neck all outside the dress judges were in awe. Sharin let her self down though being disqualified for jumping on some poor 14 year old girl on the way in with her 12 mates and claiming it was a fair fight!

THE CLONDALKIN ROSE
Susan never made it as she mugged the bus driver on the way in
and was subsequently arrested.

THE CLONTARF ROSE
Elizabeth refused to go as daddy got last summers style Hilfiger Dress after she had maxed out all 9 of her Access, Dinners Club, Visa and American Express cards.
