Femme Quest is back!
Sucks to you if you’re attached as the event of the year has arrived
Herstory has their share of goodlookers gracing the stage every year. The femmes had their eye candy last year in the form of Butch Hunt and now it’s the butches’ turn as we ogle at the 10 beautiful contestants this year as they strut their stuff for Femme Quest ’08.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s an underrated phrase nowadays with the shallow people walking past you all the time shouting at the top of their voices wanting to get the attention they think they deserve. So it’s a refreshing change when attention seeking is done in the form of a competition with rules drawn up and referees to make sure that there ain’t no punches below the belt. And as usual, the barstool judges – mainly us – are the biggest winners where we get to see the ones we lust over at Spinellis up on the stage at Zouk with only bikinis on. So… beauty in the eye of the beholder? I say fuck it. There’s something for everyone, whether you like the in your face Iamsohotdon’tyouwantme girls or the Iamthegirlnextdoor girls or the Ijustreallywanttohaveagoodtime girls.
The previews are always not enough don’t you think? I mean, yeah, the contestants come out, you get to meet the girls you’ve been seeing in the photos and videos ten times a day when you really ought to be hitting the books; but it’s never enough. The build up is almost cruel – something like foreplay without the orgasm. You want more stuff like the token embarrassing questions and the individual performances that would make your fantasies run wilder. A month almost seems too far away.
So in the spirit of keeping you primed for the finals, not too much will be revealed of the girls except for a few extra bits that were revealed during the preview.
Contestant 1 Penny is a gutsy girl. The photos certainly don’t do her justice as she comes across as a girl who’ll be up for anything. And man, she sure can dance.
Contestant 2 Yoshi is half Japanese. For those who have fetishes when you watch your anime porn, you’ll be disappointed to find that Yoshi is not that kind of girl. Almost too good to a fault, she joined solely for the experience and to be with her friend Zibbie.
Contestant 3 Zibbie brought her fan club out to the preview where they screamed every time she appeared and smiled. A hundred people (or so it sounded like) can’t be wrong to cheer her on, so come see for yourself during the finals.
Contestant 4 Yuan has the whole model look down pat. The pout, the waif like figure, the attitude. You wonder why she has to join this to get her ex back. I say go look for another one girl. You’d have loads after this.
Contestant 5 Gillyn bears a strange resemblance to a certain Ms Cho. But she reveals she can’t sing at all. With her looks and height, I don’t think that’s a big deal really. She has enough going for her even with a lack of singing talent.
Contestant 6 KayJ is an alumni from the VR challenge last year. With that extra experience, I’m expecting her to bring it on as she says her unpredictability is her best asset as “you never know what I’m gonna do next.”
Judging by the screams and catcalls, contestant 7 Elvi seems to be a strong contender this year with her come hither looks and provocative moves. What can I say? Confidence is definitely an attribute in her she ain’t missing.
Contestant 8 QX proves to everyone that you should never judge a book by its cover. Quiet and unassuming when you first meet her, she has a dry wit hidden underneath the façade. Look out for this one in the Q&A segments.
Contestant 9 Kay describes herself as mahjong siao. I’d say so since she’s included that in her video and voice over segment. However as a fellow mahjong aficionado, I can’t say I hold it against her. The willowy girl is the oldest of the bunch with a figure to kill. Man, I can’t wait for the swim suit segment.
Contestant 10 Gemma (say it with me: Jam-uh) is also another VR challenge alumni. Not only did she join the challenge last year, she came within whiskers of snatching the trophy right out from under Boo’s (a Herstory veteran) nose. Quite a feat I tell you. I know I’m supposed to be impartial and all that, but personally, I’d like to see what this spunky girl has in store of us.
That pretty much wraps it up. And as I’ve said, sucks to you if you’re attached because my girlfriend kept a tight leash on me during the preview. I’m sure the leash will be tighter come July 10th. Swim suit segment people… swim suit segment. Nod. It’s gonna be great. See you there.
