I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: foreigners are just so much better at exploiting their former beauty queens than we yanks are. Hell, it’d take a scandal for us to finally convince one of our beauty queens to do a Maxim or one of those mags. Not so with the Europeans. Here’s our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, the former 2004 Miss Belgium Ellen Petri. As you can see, there was a reason she won the Miss Belgium title a few years ago, and no, I’m not talking about her personality or her correct answers to stupid, pointless questions.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Jenni Falconer reminds me that I wish I had a better, cooler last name. Imagine going around telling people, “Hi, I’m Falconer. What’s your name?” It doesn’t matter what they say, you can’t beat a last name like Falconer. I’m telling you, if I had that last name, I would be taller, more handsome, and a big-time movie star. Or at least some dude with a cool last name, which is important, too. Anyways, here’s Jenni Falconer, a Scottish television presenter and model, including working as the new face (and body, of course) for the Ultimo lingerie line.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day hails from the land of Croatia, famous for their world-famous apple pies and homemade brew. Wait, or am I thinking of Kansas? Well, either/or, I suppose. Anyways, her name is Natalie Dizdar, and she’s a Croatian pop singer, who first came to fame when she landed the runner-up spot on the talent show Story Supernova Music Talents. Hey, who doesn’t watch Story Supernova Music Talents every day? I know I never miss it. Ahem. Anyways, check out more of Natali at her Myspace site. And did I mention she’s got a killer bikini body?

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is German’s Monica Ivancan, who according or IMDB.com (and they’re never wrong, or so I hear), is of Slowenian-Croatian descent and came to fame when she appeared as the bachelorette on Germany’s version of “The Bachelorette”. You know, that’s the show where a girl gets to pick from a bunch of guys, and in the meantime she makes out with them? It’s sorta like what the guys do on “The Bachelor”, except with chicks. Other than that, I haven’t a clue what Monica Ivancan does for a living, though I suspect she’s a model. Or at least, someone who looks very good in lingerie, cause there sure were a lot of pics of her in lingerie around these her Interwebs.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Manuela Raffaeta, who I know is foreign because A) I’ve never heard of her, and B) Manuela Raffaeta just sounds like a foreign name. Now I could be wrong, but I don’t see how I could be, being that I know everything and see everything. Yes, you can even call me God if you so chooses. I won’t force ya, but I don’t prevent ya, either. Anyhoo. Here’s Manuela Raffaeta, who is a model, I believe. There’s even a nice little video of her in the changing room to boot. No, nothing risque, but as you can see, the lady is a lovely lass with or without airbrushing.

Now I won’t say I know a whole lot about Swedish music — okay, so I don’t know a whole lot about Swedish music. I think they’re Swedish, and they’re musical, and that’s about it. But I do know a little bit about our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, one Elin Lanto. She’s a Swedish singer who had a number one hit with the song “I Won’t Cry”, and made her U.S. debut earlier this year. She got one of her songs on the Showtime lesbian show The L Word. True story: The “L” in the title the L Word? It doesn’t stand for lesbian. It actually stands for lazy. Because, you see, there are a lot of lazy people in the cast. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Please to enjoy.

As far as I can tell, our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Danah Matthews is a showgirl on the Italian TV show Chiambretti Night, where she shows off her dancing moves and incredible ability to put her legs behind her head for men who sit on chairs. I’m sure there’s more to it than that, but that’s just what I’m getting from these pics and video. Seriously, the woman is so incredibly leggy and bendy, that she could probably pass for a Barbie bendable doll. Only hotter. And more Italian. Some incredible pictures of a very hot Italian babe and video of her work on Chiambretti Night for your ogling pleasure.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is one Zoe Salmon, an Irish lass who is the host of the TV show Blue Peter. Which, disappointingly, is not about what I thought it was about. It’s actually a children’s TV show. Who would have thunk it? She also appeared on the reality TV show Dancing on Ice, which I believe is sort of like Dancing with the Stars, except it’s on ice. Because, let’s face it, if watching stars fall down while dancing is funny, watching them fall down while ice skating has to be, like, three times as funny, am I right?

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is French actress Julia Dietze, one of those blonde girl-next-door types who also happen to be pretty hot. It seems her big break is an upcoming movie called “Iron Sky”, the premise for which (and I shit you not) goes like this: “The Nazis set up a secret base on the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018.” Okay, I’m going to guess that this is some kind of campy comedy. I could be wrong, of course, but that’s just the feeling I’m getting from that premise. Here are a couple of pics of Julia Dietze to get you all jazzed up for “Iron Sky”. As if you aren’t already, am I right? I mean, space Nazis? Come on! Brilliant!

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Ukrainian pop singer Svetlana Loboda, who is most famous for her hit song “Mishka”. It’s a pretty funky little song, and of course by ‘funky’ I mean completely terrible to anyone who probably doesn’t understand Russian. Or Ukrainian. Same language, right? Anyhoo, according to her official bio, Svetlana Loboda is supposedly 26 years old. I say supposedly because well, okay, they may party pretty hard over there in the Ukraine, but I gotta say, Svetlana Loboda may be hot and sporting the body of an 18 year old, but seriously? She’s 26? Okay, if you say so. I’ll go along with it as long as she keeps looking this good.

With a name like Romina Becks, I wouldn’t be surprised if the German blonde hottie was secretly a secret agent for the German government, sent overseas to lull men into a sense of comfort before popping up behind them with a piano wire and doing them in. You know, that sort of thing. Or maybe not. Then again, she is German, so you gotta watch them a little closely, those Germans. You never know when they’ll get one of their crazy ideas and run with it. Anyhoo, our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Romina Becks, who looks fetching in a bikini. Makes you appreciate the Germans. (As long as you can keep an eye on them…)

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Belgium musician Isabelle Adam, who is more commonly known to her fans as Isabelle A. I’m assuming of course that most of her fans are Belgians, or maybe people who aren’t Belgians, but are into things that are Belgium. You know, kind of like how non-Chinese people are into Chinese girls, or Chinese food. That sort of thing. Okay, that didn’t really make sense, but whatever. Here’s Isabelle Adam, who you have probably never heard of, and will never hear. Some pictures and music video to get you acquainted with her. She’s got, er, lift, I guess you could say.

With a name like Joke Van De Velde, you’d think our Random Foreign Babe of the Day should actually be in our Random Foreign Chicks with Weird Names of the Day, but you’d be wrong, wrong face wronger. Joke Van De Velde is very much a babe, and these pictures prove it. And it’s a good thing, too, because with a name like Joke, you’d imagine our former Miss Belgium was picked on and prodded pretty good back in school. Then again, when you’re hot, you can get away with being named Joke. Of course, if she was ugly, they’d probably throw garbage cans at her. Or celery sticks. Those are real good for bullying people, you know.

According to my History professor, who has visited the Ukraine a half dozen times before, the country is full of rainbows and white bunnies that will invade your house if you leave your window open at nights and steal your pies. Also, hot women like our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Dasha Astafieva are aplenty. Then again, my History Professor was soon arrested for impersonating a History Professor, so I don’t know what to believe anymore. Still, maybe he was right, because you know those bunnies, especially the white ones… Anyhoo. Here are some pictures of Dasha Astafieva, a member of the Ukrainian pop group NikitA, which is bar none the best Ukrainian pop group I’ve ever heard, which is astounding since Ukrainian music usually makes my ears bleed.

Trust me, you didn’t grow up with the neighbor girl named Kersti Kroon. Or if you did, then you are one lucky bastard, and I would put your eye out just to be you. Okay, so maybe that’s a little harsh, but haven’t you had a good run already? Anyhow. Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Kersti Kroon, an Estonian model from, er, Estonia, which if my master of geography is correct, is located somewhere between the Gaza Strip and Africa, and just south of South Korea. Of course I could be wrong, as the last time I was in Estonia was, oh, quite a long time ago. At least, I think it was Estonia. I could have been Arkansas, though. Where was I? Oh right. Kersti Kroon is a model from Estonia. Me likey.

With a name like Iva Jerkovic, there’s not a whole lot of chance you’re gonna find our latest Random Foreign Babe of the Day Iva Jerkovic living next door to you in, say, Iowa City. You might find her in New York, though. I hear people in New Yawk come from all walks of life — some even from out of the country! I know, shocking, but apparently it’s true. (They are so weird up there…) Anyhoo, so who is our babelicious Iva Jerkovic? She’s some kind of Croatian model and celebrity, as far as I can tell, and has been on the Croatian version of the TV show Big Brother. Yes, once again, the Big Brother Gods deliver our babe to our doorsteps. Oh, Big Brother, is there nothing you can’t do?

I know what you’re thinking: Yeah, so Gamze Karaman is pretty hot and all that stuff, but what is she really like in person? Where did she come from? What was she like as a child? When she was in middle school, did all the girls pick on her because they could see she was going to grow up to turn men’s heads and make their loins tingle? Okay, so I don’t know any of those answers, but I do know this: Gamze Karaman is our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, and she’s from Turkey, which makes her, you know, Turkish. Other than that, I haven’t a clue, since every page I check out on the net that has a mention of Gamze Karaman is in Turkish. Or at least I think it’s Turkish, since I don’t, you know, technically know what Turkish writing looks like. But I digress. Please to enjoy some Gamze Karaman.

Now don’t quote me on this, but I’m reasonably certain the Miss World pageant started when someone got pissed that their mistress didn’t make it to the Miss Universe pageant, so this person, who is of course very wealthy (and old and ugly, let’s just say) decided to put his money on creating his very own Miss Whatever pageant. At first, people scoffed at it, but then over time, it started to gain steam, and has become just as popular as the Miss Universe pageant. And hey, is it just me, or do the Miss World winners always end up on men’s magazines faster than their Universe counterparts? All of that is to say that the 2008 Miss World is one Ksenia Sukhinova from Russia. Yeah, can’t pronounce the name to save my life, but luckily for me, she can, and ogling that hot body is definitely a universal language.

According to someone on the Internet who has developed the ability to type letters into sentences and put them on something called “web pages”, our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, Swedish model Caroline Winberg was once supposedly harassed by none other than Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones fame. Caroline Winberg was 17 at the time, but was apparently Swedish-y enough to attract the attention of the then-57 year old bugger. Nothing came of it, we’re told, but it did make Caroline Winberg a suddenly hot commodity on the fashion-o-sphere, which I hear tell is composed of glitter and underwear, but I could be wrong. Anyways, please to enjoy yourselves some Caroline Winberg. Yeah, I gotta say, ol Mick’s got good tastes, alright.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Aylar Lie has quite a sorrid little history about her. Most people had no idea she was a former adult film actress until her secret was exposed — during the Miss Norway pageant, at that. Needless to say, our girl was disqualified (what prudes!), but that didn’t stop Aylar Lie. She became a contestant on the Norwegian version of Big Brother, before starting her own modeling company and a singing career. A real renaissance woman. If you do the google thing and check out her name on the site, you can find plenty of her, erm, former movies floating around. Let’s just say that Aylar Lie is not exactly, er, shy, which works for us. More power to ya, girl! Check out some Aylar Lie and you’ll know that Aylar Lie’s hotness ain’t no lie. Get it? Oh man, I kill me.
