In which Deacon Barry is surrounded by a bevy of beauties

Last night I was at a friend's birthday party. She was crowned Miss Edinburgh twice, back in the seventies when they used to have beauty pageants. In honour of this, we held a beauty contest at the party, and I was the compere. I wore my bow tie and dinner jacket specially for the occasion, and affected my cheesiest mid-atlantic twang as I introduced the girls.
We had fourteen contestants, including a Lola from Brazil, a Debbie from Dallas, and a Paris from LA. I can't be sure, but I don't think they were giving me their right names.
The winner, judged on looks, poise and personality was Debbie from Dallas.

Can't believe my spelling has gone so tits up.Oops let myself go again. All these years at Roedean and Girton, and it comes to this. I'm a fallen woman. And I feel a strong urge to use the "f" word. Oh deary me! Getting back on course, I should have said "Remember the ad? Silly me.
