Eye On Miami Political Beauty Contest of 2013 Redux: Choose a winner! By Geniusofdespair.


1. State Sen. Audrey Gibson - Rivera Beach, 2. Aventura Commissioner Enbar Cohen, 3. State Rep. Jose Oliva - Miami Lakes, 4. State Rep. Shevrin D. Jones - West Park, 5. State House Speaker Will Weatherford, 6. State Rep. Bobby Powell - Rivera Beach, 7.  Councilwoman Christine Fraga, Doral and 8. State Sen. Anitere Flores - West Miami.


After the 2013 Eye on Miami Beauty Contest for Politicians imploded last week, and the winner was removed, we are taking another stab at the 2013 beauty race and we need your votes. Let's give this one a new twist. You can vote for a man and a woman. You may write in a candidate (as a third choice)

Although all the candidates are politicians, remember this is strictly based on looks (superficial), not politics. Whether you like the rugged or classically beautiful, you will find some great choices here. This is a light-hearted exercise. I hope the nominees are good sports and that we can all have fun without trashing any of the candidates.  (I will run this for a few days, but get your votes in!!)

Links to contests in the past...
2011 Winner was Kirsten Jacobs
2009 Winner was Oscar Braynon
2009 Broward: Keith London
2010 was an Ethically Challenged Beauty Contest
2008: Marco Rubio was a candidate! Scott Galvin won.

Glad you removed Katie Edwards. Serves you right for trying to pick your own winner. Number 7. Male? Weather ford. Don't like him but he is handsome.

Audrey Gibson looks wise and has character- beauty. I will vote for her. The Oliva guy, but I am sure I wouldn't like his politics.

I think you need a contest called "Best Decisions" or "Best Vote by an Elected Official"...

Cohen and Jones. Fraga is a close second but too much of a glamor shot.

Audrey Gibson? Are you kidding? She looks like Toni Morrison and now she looks worse with the lesbian hair.

Oh yeah, and I vote for Christine Fraga.

Geniusofdespair said...

You can vote for someone else but I do believe Audrey is attractive. It is all in the eye of the beholder. I will put my vote in for her now.

No clear choice for me, but the top row is much better looking than the bottom.
Powell would probably be much cuter if he smiled.

It is amazing how hard it is to find photos of some of these people. They should add to their photo galleries. Lazy staff? I tried to find A full face of Powell, besides this official photo, but had no luck. I don't like the official photos for the most part but was forced to use them for 2. I am also amazed at what people think is a "good" photo of themselves as they obviously chose the official photo. Go look at Fresen's photo it is scary. He is much better looking.

Enbar Cohen can get it. She's fine!

A better contest would be for "Most honest".

"Votes Consistently for the taxpayers".

Geniusofdespair said...

Did you not get that this is a beauty contest? As we said:

Eye On Miami's political beauty contest is not a joke. If we were billionaires, we would build a sports stadium; an arena to distract the public.

As the United States has shown, providing entertainments is as important today as two thousand years ago in the Roman empire.

Lacking funds, an online pageant perfectly fits our time and interest as bloggers. We try the serious route to readers' attention but we don't count on it.

Where substance lets us down, digital imagery holds us up. Our goal might be mis-interpreted. We really do care that elected officials should have the knowledge, preparation, and skills to build, fund and implement policies and programs that protect taxpayers. We do care that civilization does not descend back to savagery.

Along that line, when reality intervenes, we pray to Gods. We set our religions and beliefs against each other. When the Gods do not answer, except for silence; what then? Look good. Smart suits and lapel flags, three hundred dollar haircuts and botox, these investments are a small price to maintain the appearance that elected officials really care the next generations have the same opportunities ours have had.

The unalloyed reality is that we are more talented, by far, at making messes than cleaning up. Who looks the best, trying? You decide.
