From the Department of Things I Didn't Know

(Which, incidentally, is a really big department.)

Did you know that in 1990, there was a Miss KGB contest?

    This goes to an old Wendy’s ad parodying a Soviet beauty contest. I couldn’t help thinking of it when I read about Miss KGB.

  3. I suppose some of the competition involved assassination skills ..... the KGB doubtless wanted some femme fatale on their payroll.

    1. I don't expect there was a consolation prize for Miss Congeniality?
