Foxy!
I would guess Dominican mother and Italian father.
DR rules!

I don't find her attractive at all. She looks like a concentration camp survivor.

Same here, but her anorexic look is what sponsors seek and consider as the ideal sign of beauty for these contemporary times. However, she is truly beautiful no matter what and I have seen much better pictures of her. She has light colored eyes and a very exotic look together with a euro-style body most commonly used in fashion advertising.

Congratulations on your victory, a hard fight, well won by the best woman. Hard work in the glass room and gym have paid off after time. Once again, congrats on a great win.

In DR we are used to beefier types, with big bumpers!
Nothing that a few weeks in DR, with a platano, yuca and puerquito diet, would add those pounds in a jiffy!

Still a good role-model for the many overweight Dominican women.

Generoso,

Of course they are beefier here! Don't you remember that we export to Puerto Rico? ...Because the Ricos like to have something to hang-on to when they go bucking! This one would slip right out from under them.

But, congrats to beautiful young Johanna and good luck! You are buit for speed baby! Lmao

“Sambucini, who was born in the Dominican Republic and is pursuing a master’s degree in business administration, wrote on her Facebook page that she hopes for a career in the fashion industry and plans, eventually, to open a Dominican restaurant."

http://lohud.us/yHDuTm

In her own words:

"Johanna is hardworking, highly motivated, and outgoing. She is also funny and ambitious quite creative and full of energy. Johanna Sambucini possess the strength and intelligence to achieve all of her goals, but the best part about her is that she is also very down-to-earth and a truly caring person. She is a very pleasant and unassuming person. The graduate student and model ambitions and activities included modeling, acting, and playing the piano. She is finishing up her Masters Degree in Business Administration and wants to turn her love of fashion into her own chain of boutiques one day. Johanna is also a humanitarian and wants to help autistic children. She also wants to help her native Dominican Republic (she is half Dominican and Italian) build hospitals to care for children In need there."

She forgot to mention preventing all wars, eliminating disease, injustice and bad breath.

No mention if she's ever spent time in the Dominican Republic, just born here.

I should bring back the Dominican beauty thread, just to torture Roy.LOL.

Roy!!!!

Come on, give her some credit! The girl must at least have been here a few minutes, even if the mom gave birth in a plane or speed boat on the way out!

An end to bad breath would end the need to use these forums and push for us to debate face-to-face! What a mess this would be. I can see a lot of black eyes!

Concatchero,

Johanna spent her formative years in the Dominican Republic.

Esposa just would not understand if I showed up with this little tart on my arm.

RoyStone
Complain, complain, complain.
Get out of that dark computer room, climb in a mango tree, and eat enough fruit to flush out all those negative comments about everything in the DR!
You will feel great afterwards, be a lot smaller in size, and if you die, they can probably bury you in a shoe box, lol.

roy,
There are plenty of porkys in Australia too... Nothing wrong with that dude

"She forgot to mention preventing all wars, eliminating disease, injustice and bad breath.....No mention if she's ever spent time in the Dominican Republic, just born here."

Mr. Roy. You're turning into another Josean.... If it's DR-related, it's never good!
Why can't you give credit where credit is due?....

Schmidt, the latest Nobel-prize winner in physics, was born in the US, yet you proudly announce him to be an Australian!! What's up with that?
This woman was born and spent her childhood in DR, but you want to deny her any connection to us!
Jealous, or just plain cynical?

Hey guys, you ain't gonna boink this princess no matter how much you defend her here. Regardless Dominican women have been exempt from criticism from me. In fact I have said they are the best in the world .... so there!
Yes this girl is absolutely stunning, however as a boobs-man, she doesn't put the lead in my pencil. My Dominican wife does.
generoso, you have been stateside too long - otherwise you would know it is not Mango season - however the paw-paws are fabulous right now and have the same effect ... opps ...gotta go now. Where's that shoebox?
(adapted from Hitch's comment when Gerry Fallwell kicked the bucket?)

RonEvane,

I never disgusted the fact that Schmidt was born in USA. I actually pointed it out. However his Nobel Prize-winning work was done in Australia, he attributes his success to Australia, he lives in Australia and considers himself an Australian, and in my view has a typical, modest, Australian attitude. That's good enough for me.

I don't know how much of Sambucini's childhood was spent in the Dominican Republic. however she is definitely not phenotypicaly Dominican. Still I did not begrudge her success.

Still I would be delighted to read of someone succeeding in this country, as a result of this country, therefore attributable to it, regardless of where they or their parents were actually born. To me that's irrelevant. Ultimately, aren't we all foreigners?

I think I smell sour grapes.LOL.

RoyStone,
I am sorry if my question sounds a bit ignorant but I was wondering if you could explain to me what a Dominican is supposed to look like?

So sad that some "beauty queen" attracts more interests, garners more comments than stories about Dominicans who are actually productive and good role models.

Beautiful looking lady ...lets hope she has brains to go with the beauty and does something productive with her life ...

"however she is definitely not phenotypicaly Dominican."

Roy, sorry I have to say this but that is a very ignorant statement on your behalf. I keep telling you the same thing, it seems as if you lead a sheltered life and need to get out more often. What you don't seem to understand is that San Cristobal is only a small piece of our country and not representative of the Dominican Republic.

In the Cibao region, particularly in the countryside, hills and mountain towns a girl like Sambucini who has a sort of Southern European look is not at all unusual, in fact she is phenotypicaly common for many parts of this area. As it is true for Miss Universe Amelia Vega who coincidentally happens to be from Santiago, the second largest and capital city of the Cibao, where the vast majority of our beauty queens come from was completely hand made in the DR from start to finish.

guillermone,
I have stayed a number of weeks in Santo Domingo particularly in the UASD, and other areas. I have also stayed a number of weeks in Santiago as well as along the North Coast, across and around the Samana Peninsula, down to La Romana and a several weeks in Juan Dolio. Certainly San Cristobal is not the best part of the country, but I am making the point I have spent a lot of time in other parts of this Country. Still there are many other parts of the Dominican Republic that are no better, and some worse. Yes there are many Dominican women (although still a minority) as fair, or even fairer than Sambucini, but very few that are that slim. I stand by my statement that she is not "typical".

Guille
RoyStone is not allowed to leave San Cristobal for other parts, as he is a stay at home husband, and he is scared to death, not only of Xtians but of all drivers the DR.
Even in Haiti there was a remote village comprised of ex-polish soldiers families, who where left behind by the french, and they where all blond with blue eyes. So forget about typical phenotypes.

Roy-Because of the extent of our racial mixture, there is no such thing as "typical" in the Dominican Republic. There is everything and anything under the sun, a wide range of phenotypes can be found in our nation as genuinely Dominican.

Perhaps you may be referring to Sambucini's slim Euro type body as our women tend to be voluptuous, curvy, rounded and shapely. Only in this sense do I agree she may not "typical." However, what you miss is that in order to compete and become a winner most of these contestants enter into a strict, starvation diet. The end result is an attractic but anorexic looking female, which is what they seek but required to meet and satisfy standards to win. However, as soon as it is all over and done they return to their normal eating habits and weight

Generoso ... about those white polish Haitians ... you may be interested to know of the rumours out of northern china of villages composed entirely of blond haired blue eyed people who speak chinese and act chinese and have been there a very long time, but are clearly not asian ... hmmm ... neat story anyway ...

FedricoD-The rumors of isolated Chinese villages made up entirely of blue eye/blond hair natives is exactly that, rumors and a exaggeration. There is no proof thus far to conclusively substantiate that claim. However, there is some evidence of a possible European link during the height of the Roman Empire back some 2000 years of descendents from legionaries lost in antiquity.

Nevertheless, there are studies being performed to determine why an unusual number of local people with clearly distinctive caucasian characteristics such as light colored eyes, leptorrhine noses, and even blonde hair have mixed with traditional Chinese/Asian features. Although, quite facinating, one thing is for a local group of natives to carry European genes but it is another to have a whole community of Scandinavians who speak only Chinese, can take a wok and cook up a mean plate of stir fried rice.

As we all know, most Dominicans are of Black, (yucca and platanos), and White, (chicken meat, bullion & wine) stock, with a sprinkling of Taino, (herbs and spices), and a dash of Asian (monosodium glutamate), for taste enhancement, soup…. The taste is extraordinaire, and almost orgasmic!
In contrast, Australian soup is composed of, mostly, white Lima-bean with maybe, a little bit of aborigine, thrown in; not much taste there! ….So, having a Dominican, is like a box of cho-clits. You never know what you’ll get, unless you taste….and eat….her.

Ron you are so crude and raunchy.............LOL !!!!

Que perro......................

Ron, you are a very, very, naughty boy!
Now go and put on a prickly shirt and sit in the corner!
(Thanks for the laugh I enjoyed it - especially the cho-clt)

Guillermone ... rumours into antiquity makes for posing interesting qustions ... what do you think about the polish haitians of french legionaire heritage. .. a rumour or something tangible?

Federico-No, with regards to Polish soldiers bought over by Napoleon to fight in combat, it is fact, nothing to do with rumors. The difference between Haiti and China is that the arrival of Poles to Haiti happened not long ago. It is relatively recent history and can be easily verified with out much fanfare. In fact, some of the great grand children or descendants of these men are likely to still be alive today and can provide tangible evidence or their own personal version of history. But fact is out of the 5200 Poles who fought only 240 actually became and remained Haitian citizens.

As for the Chinese with mixed Caucasian features, there is no one to ask, no recorded history to support the allegations other then physical traits and DNA testing to give us evidence of a European past. But genetic results is not totally conclusive. It only verifies the presence of Europeans but leaves many other questions unaswered and does not firmly explain the who, why, what, where and when

She is gorgeous, that’s the bottom line, This is my personal opinion, as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ron.... You are nutZ...... totaly flippin NutZ! LMAO

I give you an "A+" for the composition but an "F" for censure!

"Interracial sex, the only true path to world peace."

Roy ... this latest round of humanity post flood is coming from Noah and his wife and their three sons and the exotic wives of the three sons ...

FedericoD, do you believe in the Noah and the flood myth?

"Roy ... this latest round of humanity post flood is coming from Noah and his wife and their three sons and the exotic wives of the three sons ..."

Excuse me for butting in...
Do you happen to know how long ago this world-wide flood took place, and what race were they?

Scientists have found marine fossils in the tallest of Mountains peaks. Ancient seashell and once living plant life has been discovered all over the world even in places as tall as Mount Everest. It appears as if all mountaintops were submerged under water to indicate the sea once covered them as evidence of a possible global flood.

Interestingly and coincidentally every culture around the world primitive or advance also has their own version of a flood, with the same common theme even cultures with no connection to Christianity.

guillermone,
Thanks for the comedy!

I am glad to see you find humor in the odd, bizarre and the strangest of things.............!

Ron,
The Great Deluge started Sunday 9th April 4001 BC
I can't be sure of what Noah's race was, because he lived within walking, crawling and slithering distance of every known animal (except unicorns and mermaids).

Roy since you have no respect for anyone other the Aussies, Europeans and Anglo-Americans and some token Asians, please refer to your compatriot Dr. Andrew Snelling.

He holds a Ph.D. in geology from the University of Sydney and has worked as a consultant research geologist to organizations in both Australia and America. He is an author of numerous scientific articles, Dr. Snelling is now the head of the Research Division for an international publication "Answers in Genesis."

Dr Smelling???

I can smell Fish here.

Yep, even Aussies are intitled to their very own nuts!

I must have missed Noah's boat on that one... But just for the sake of world deluge... It has been raining non-stop for two days in SFdeM. My dinggy is prepared already.... And I AM TAKING HER WITH ME! What a hottie! We can have many many babies and re-populate this part of the world with bi-racial babies anytime. Lmao

What was this Noah stuff all about?

""Scientists have found marine fossils in the tallest of Mountains peaks.""

Indeed they have. Even in the driest of deserts!
In Earth's estimated 4.6 billion years of geologic activity, it is theorized that almost every square centimeter of earths surface has, at one time or another, been submerged by shallow seas.

It is also theorized, that these seas, because of the churning of the hot waters, made it possible for the proto-life forms to emerge and evolve into complex life forms.

Continentals drifts, made it possible for surfaced land to repeatably, sink and rise, and plate tectonics to form huge mountain chains.This process continues, even today.... In a billion years' time, earth's map of our dry surface, won't look anything like it does today.

Exactly as you said Ron, "It is also theorized....." and so forth and what not.

We also have a right to a theory and I guess that makes us even...........don't you think? Or are atheist the only ones who are entitled to have a theory? It is a matter of pick and choose because at this point neither you nor I knows or had the real exact answer. At this point it is still a matter of theory and hypothesis.

At least I would not bet on either one. I will keep my money in the bank.

I'm happy to mortgage my house and put the money on Ron's "theory" no-matter what odds are offered.

guillermone, you need to understand the difference between a "theory" that is accepted by every real scientist, with masses of evidence across many disciplines, and ancient Jewish mythology, that has no credible evidence in reality, what-so-ever.

Okay you Flooders ... Roy ... Yes ... I accept Noah's flood and would guess it was less than 10,000 years ago ... anywhere I have been on this earth there always is some evidence of massive water action ... as to the theories about the age of the earth, well there have only ever been two theories submitted and both have compelling arguements in my opinion, one the earth is very old in the Billions of years or it is a rather young and measurable time frame ...

of course there are proponents on both sides of the issue, I am not here to debate it with anyone, just expressing my opinion ... why do I believe this? do I have academic credentials of any kind? (actually yes), have I observed first hand a variety of instances that geographically suggest this (yes), could I even point to modern technology and suggest that their exists 'science' to back up this young earth postion as forcefully as the old earth position (yes) do I run around and jam my opinion down the throat of others?

NO .. but for all that the lady in the picture is gorgeous but worthless if she has no brains to go with it ...

Roy ... actually there are so many scientific holes in the old earth theory that in fact there are quite a number of 'carded' scientists who would disagree with your point of view ... remember, Jesus loves you anyway ...

To the gullible gillermone,

"Several years ago, in the Sydney Morning Herald, as one geologist to another, I publicly challenged Dr Snelling (the young-earth creationist version) to a public debate, before our geological peers, on a subject close to his heart - Noah's Flood - The Geological Case For and Against. I've repeated the challenge several times since then and it still stands. For reasons best known only to himself, Dr Snelling has declined to defend the creationist cause.

In the light of the above I suggest the reason is obvious. In his heart, and as a trained geologist, he knows that the young-earth model is a load of old codswallop and is totally indefensible."


Dr Alex Ritchie received his BSc. (Hons) in Geology and a Ph.D at the University of Edinburgh. He worked as a palaeontologist at the Australian Museum from 1968 to 1995 where he is currently a Research Fellow.

Here's a quote from your one of "Creation Scientist" Dr Snelling's papers

"The oldest rocks in the Koongarra area, domes of granitoids and granitic gneiss, are of Archaean age (ie to geologists this means they are older than 2500 million years). The Archaean rocks are mantled by Lower Proterozoic (younger than 2500 million years) metasediments: all were later buried deeply, heavily folded and, between 1870 and 1800 million years ago, were subjected to regional metamorphism at considerable temperatures and pressures."

Kinda conflicts with the 6,000-year-old Biblical Creation, wouldn't you say?

I am aware ot the possible flaws in the creationist theory, but just on that alone does not make scientific theory automatically right. If creationist arguments have holes, so does scientific theory. And just because many scientists agree that by itself does not make it infallible either. A scientist who publically deviates from the accepted norm, would be considered an odd ball and would prefer to remain silent for fear of being ridiculed then to risk "credibility" regardless of personal beliefs. There are plenty of Crypto-creationists among the scientific community but you would never know.

Unfortunately, what we have today is a society hell hostage to "groupthink." If I don't agree with what the group thinks, well then you are "gullible." Individuallity is out of fashion and our culture is in thrall, intellectually enslaved to groupthink, corrals people, forces them to conform and make them believe in something not completely proven but to do otherwise makes one a fool.

{"Unfortunately, what we have today is a society hell hostage to "groupthink."}

Exactly, Guillermone! That's what religions, or rather, creationism is all about!....There's just one norm, one view, and nothing can deviate from that.

In contrast, science's theories are highly flexible, constantly changing with new discoveries and new ways to see things. It may or may not surprise you, but the very scientific theories proposed are the ones given the most scrutiny and challenges.
There has been many a physicist who've tried to debunk Einstein's quantum and relativity theories without success. Which means that they have had plenty of looking- into.... If anything is suspected of being out of sync, the whole theory is given another round of scrutiny until it jives better with the known laws of physics. If not, it remains "as is" until something else comes along that may cast doubt, and given another look-see, and so on.
Science is static; religion, set in stone.

guillermone,

You seem a reasonable thinker, but you have no idea about what the scientific method is. It is not a theory or a collection of theories. It is a way of observing the universe, looking for an explanation, proposing theories, and if it works, accepting it until a better, more accurate explanation is postulated, tested, and more data and evidence is found. It is constantly evolving, improving and expanding. The things that science cannot explain are getting smaller and smaller. In the meantime mankind reaps the benefits with the technologies that flow from it - the practical fruits of science.

Creationism on the other hand, is based on religious faith. By definition, faith is believing something in the total absence of evidence, and even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary. The more preposterous the idea, the more virtuous it is to have faith in it.

Creation "theory" does not have holes in it. It is one big, empty hole, devoid of any evidence! Those pushing it, use scientific fraud to try and "prove" it but it never withstands the scientific method - never! In the end they fall back on ancient, anonymous scripture, mythology and faith.
