The point is exactly that no matter how nice I was to people I had to do with around Europe in the past, most of them treated me like a donkey exactly because I am Italian. So I concluded that being nice to persons that would be unpleasant to me in any case was stupid, and I started to throw shit around: it is much funnier.

thank you soooooo much!!!

Whereas I agree with you that such an important vote should have been declared, I am also afraid that your trolling in this thread brought no votes to poor SWAINS, and maybe even induced some guys that would have voted for her to vote for Linda.. not because of SWAINS, but because of your nasty comments. Whatever.. there are still a few hours to go.. we will see what happens..

I agree with nudescalze and The Feetosopher that the vote that decided this very tough semi-final in favour of Linda should have been declared.
It was rather a cowardish behaviour. In any case, anonymous votes are as valid as declared ones.

The final count is therefore:
Linda from defunct sites Barefoot Forever / Postmodernwomen: 9 votes
Swains of Barefoot Urban Girls: 8 votes

Linda wins semi-final B and qualifies for the final, where she will fight against Amelie of Barefoot Urban Girls for the title of Miss Barefooting Universe.

Congratulations, Linda! (sorry, it is always the same two pictures of her, but there are very few remaining ones around)

You are shooting at the wrong target, Feetosopher. Assholes like michael0218 and Duffman847 will always hate you in spite of your clumsy attempts at being cool and relaxed. I was right that Linda would get to the final. And they will make her win the title to throw shit at you, at your sites, at your models, at us Italians, and at Italian style, beauty and culture.

Well, the battle is over. It is indeed rather upsetting that such a tough match was decided by an anonymous vote.

Whatever.. my most sincere congratulations to Linda. She is a wonderful beauty (I am pretty sure that she is still a hot woman,
even after 16 years that the pictures appearing on City Feet as guest set were taken). Differently from nudescalze, I believe that Linda
fully deserves the final, just like Swains (if that last vote had not been cast, Swains would have qualified for the final thanks to declared votes).

What nudescalze fails to grasp is that this is not the FIFA World Cup, where national teams fight for the title.
To be crowned Miss Barefooting UNIVERSE, a contestant should appeal to people of different nationality, as the name of the contest clearly suggests.

Pretty obviously, I had hoped in a different final.. an all-BUG duel between great friends AMELIE and SWAINS.
But now I can reveal a secret: Swains hoped to be eliminated by Linda because she hated the idea of fighting for the title against her dear friend Amelie.
I am paying SWAINS the homage she deserves with two pictures: the first one represents the final I had hoped for..
and the second one is to the benefit of all people who would like to see SWAINS smile more often..

That's very sporting of Swains about The Final. I think she should officially / unofficially take bronze, given that her vote difference was smaller than Irie's.

Congratulations to Linda. Although I voted for Swains, this legend is a well deserved finalist. On the other hand, it makes it easier for me to vote in the final...

Ciao Feetosopher, thank you for the free pictures, they are always very welcome. I would have liked an Amelie vs. Swains final, too.

The equaliser that would have qualified Swains for the final came too late. The true final would have been Amelie vs. Swains, also looking at the beating that Linda got from Amelie.
