Ya…but can she play whistle? (Such an obvious reply)
Probably not. 
Here’s a picture of her from the Beach Beauty segment of the contest.

I don’t know AND DON’T CARE if she can play the whistle…I’m whistling right now for the both of us.

Okay, twist my arm already - I volunteer to teach her to play. Unselfish as I am, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

OK Boys, you want to grab that? Yeah, that’s your jaws on the floor. Oh and hey, be good sports and pick mine up for me too on the way out? Thanks! 
I envy her on so many levels.
And I feel sorry for her on so many, too.
Yeah Cran, I know what ya mean. I looks like it was COLD that day on the beach! Poor thing! 
Still, it’s what she wanted to do in life. I’ve no doubt she’s pretty happy. I think I’ll send her a sweater for her next photo shoot…
NAH! LOL
I was a little disappointed to see she looks exactly like a California beach bunny. I guess you have to look like that to become Miss World. I would have rather seen someone with a more distinctive and different beauty.
But I don’t suppose you fellows would! LOL!

Me, too. What’s the point of being 3/4 nude in the first place? What does that have to do with your ability to be Miss World? Nothing at all.
Generally speaking, I do prefer dark hair and a more unusual look, however I have to admit that I’m a sucker for a woman with an Irish (or Scottish, or London) accent.

My Lady In Red Has Made Me So Proud
Daughter of singer Chris de Burgh takes centre stage as she wins beauty contest. No one can be in any doubt about the way diminutive singer Chris de Burgh feels about his very own lady in red.
She is his daughter Rosanna Davidson who has just been crowned Miss Ireland 2003. She beat stiff competition for the title but, in the end, Irish eyes smiled on her with her lustrous blonde hair and porcelain skin.
Rosanna, who is in her second year at University College Dublin studying sociology and history of art, will now be celebrating with her father, mum Diane and her siblings Hubie and Michael at their stunning 12th century home Bargy Castle in co Wexford, Ireland.
However despite her undoubted beauty, the 19 year old who admires the looks of Cameron Diaz and was odds on at 8/13 to win the title, admitted she does have her imperfections. Rosanna, who had been voted Miss Dun Laoghaire explained "for years, I have foolishly been squeezing my feet into shoes that have been too small and the result is that I now have toes that are not the prettiest.
She also believes her best feature are her hands but the judges were not looking at her hands or her feet when the chose her to be a reprehensive for Ireland in the ceremony at the City West Hotel, Dublin on Friday.
The 5ft 11in stunner will take on where her predecessor Lynda Duffy left off, but she has said that she will resist the traditional lure of the catwalk when her time as Miss Ireland is over and will not be going into modeling full-time. Instead, she is setting her sights on the cut and thrust of a career in advertising.
She will also have her famous father, who was a firm favorite id the late Diana, Princess of Wales and of politicians Helmut Kohl and Boris Yeltsin, at her side every step of the way to cope with the fame and attention her win will now bring her.
According the young Rosanna, her 54 year old dad- who in 1986 had a No 1 hit with Lady in Red in the UK, as well at 24 other countries- has been dispensing several words of wisdom “he helped me to overcome stage fright” she said.
Chris de Burgh has played around 3,000 gigs in his 28 year career. He is still much in demand and continues to perform all over the world.
Yow! And she’s only 19! Sadly, no hint of whistle playing.
Here’s a few more pics . . .
