For whatever reason, we have photographs on file here at Lucire that do not get published. Such as this 2006 pic of Miss Universe 2004 (and Miss Australia 2004) Jennifer Hawkins, which we could have run in our ‘Scene’ section if it were not for some questionable staffers a year ago. And since Laural Barrett, the reigning Miss New Zealand, appears in the 24th number of Lucire here, it seemed fitting to get into a beauty-queen mood by posting this one au blog. Further, in the spirit of goodwill (and world peace), it’s to show that I bear no ill will toward any Miss Australia, past or present, despite what the MSM might imply. The odd Australian-owned publication, yes, but not Miss Australia.
