Beauty with a Purpose

Nazanin Afshin-Jam is the Canadian entrant in today's Miss World contest. Favourite colour? Fuschia! Is that close to hot pink? She also love tribbles!

I am not a pageant fan but thanks to some goings-on in the life of a Flea I can relate to part of the challenge facing Ms Afshin-Jam.

"The interview is the most important part. It's make it or break it," said Afshin-Jam, whose talent portion for the competition is a Middle Eastern dance.

That would be the interview part rather than the Middle Eastern dance part. I think I could ace Middle Eastern dance.

And then... I forgot to mention this post is in response to observations by the indefatigable Chris Taylor in comments to earlier pageant coverage.

And then... Hooray for Persian-Canadians as Ms Afshin-Jam takes first runner-up to Miss Ireland who now claims the special hat.
