Some hot brunettes are among the sexy Italian showgirl finalists in the Miss Italy 2009 competition, which takes on a different format from the “miss” competitions in other countries.
The Miss Italy finalists are divided into four categories of Miss Sporty, Miss Trendy, Miss Romantic and Miss Vamp.
In a bad parody of the Spice Girls, there are no prizes for guessing who are the favourites among the male audience of Italian television.
In a very odd judging system, the Miss Cinema award is given to Claudia Loy from the trendy group (again, it doesn’t take a genius), and the whole episode concludes after THREE HOURS of television.
Clearly Italian television has never heard of the expression “short and sweet”.
