Heavy Weighs the Crown on Miss Asian Games
Kumis Bazarbayeva, who won the Miss Asian Winter Games pageant (a vital and important world event that I can’t believe I forgot to report on here), has a funky tiara on her head, designed by Aigul Kasimova. And there’s a contest
sponsored by Pantene, the winner of which gets the tiara. If you’re interested, it looks like they’re looking for people with a good story to tell about overcoming obstacles.
And now some more eye candy, just to raise the level of this blog a bit:

I recently found your blog and really enjoy it. My adopted daughter was born in Kazakhstan (Astana) and we spent 6 weeks there in August-September 2003. She going on 9 now, and this is a great resource for me to keep in touch with her birth country especially through your American “lense.” What happened to your blog photos? No eye candy to behold.
Strange. The images are showing up for me. Hope it was just a temporary problem.
Glad you like the blog.
Yes – they are showing up now. Your photos are spectacular. I look forward to your posts every day now.
If you ever come across the small village of Zhanteke, about 60 miles southwest of Astana, please let me know. I have a personal connection there through my daughter and would like to know more about the town.
