It’s not too late to vote, is it? I like _ **all** _ the candidates - they’re all adorable and any of them would make a fine Mr. Beauty. But I must cast my vote for the absolutely adorable **Monster104**. Hey - he’s the only one that asked. 😉 And Monster, cutie, no need to send me chocolates. You’re sweet enough all by yourself! ---

Falcon has semi-recent pics of me, as do Michi and PB (I think). But I do not wear tiaras. They usually get tangled in my hair. Damnit, the only thing I ever won was MIP in track, and that was because I sucked at it in the beginning of the season. ---
