Bondi Beach - Miss Bondi 2008

For those of you interested in portrait photography, why not come down to Bondi Beach and try your luck in Miss Bondi 2008 comp!

Miss Bondi heats are on Sun 30 Nov & Sun 7 Dec, with the final on Sun 14 Dec, 2-5pm.

On any hot Sydney weekend in summer, Bondi is alive with tanned, athletic bodies, string bikinis and slicked- back salty hair. And lots and lots of men checking out chicks – a signature, understandably, of the annual Miss Bondi competition. But this is a feature of the event that the organisers want to tone down. "In past years, Miss Bondi has been more a bikini competition and too male dominated and our aim is to make it a little more female friendly," says Kimberley Stewart from Popcorn Events. "I have looked at some of the past year's photographs and you see a lot of guys with no shirts on drinking beer. We're trying to include those people, but we want to have females involved as well, in front row seats, and make them feel a lot more comfortable."
