Just your average, everyday Belgrade girl-next-door in Knez Mihailova street.

Update – March 2008 – several hot Balkan babes as Big Brother VIP contestants
This subject had to come up sooner or later, you know.
But I was hoping that something else will trigger it other than your usual drooling foreign guys impressions you see on net or hear from various sources: “Dude, they have the most beautiful girls there, I swear!” or “Man, Serbia is heaven on earth as for the girls are concerned!” or stuff like that.
No, I had to wait for at least a couple of women to mention it in order to conclude that there just might be something in all these drooling guys’ claims. And here they are:
Maggie Alderson, of Sydney Morning Herald :
“The whole thing was like some kind of genetic experiment. It was clearly just the national body shape.”
and Rosmary on her blog couple of days ago:
“If Tyra Banks saw an entire town of women like these while scouting for her America’s Next Top Model show, the top of her head would pop off. It would be too much to choose from, overwhelming.”
National body shape? Too much to choose from? Something is clearly going on here. Is it even possible to determine in one nation or in one region, say, that the women are, even generally speaking, better looking than somewhere else? Or is it just another stereotype? Well, even if it is, at least it’s a good kind of stereotype. I think. And what about us guys? Nobody mentions us, I guess we have to conclude that we are average joes. Oh well.
Maybe it’s just the way girls dress and the time they invest in dressing up. I don’t know what to think anymore, seriously. You?
