Yelena Setiabudi is competing in the Miss Earth competition. Miss Earth, or Putri Bumi 2006, is currently being held in the Philippines and Indonesia's representative is Yelena Setiabudi, aged 21.
Last year's Indonesian entrant, Jenny Sutjiono, walked away empty-handed but hopes are high that Yelena can do the job, for Indonesia, and the environment.
But this one doesn’t get such negative press coverage as the others – not that it’s not known mind you – but because all the beautiful young ladies involved are committed to preserving the environment. Hence the name of the beauty pageant: Miss Earth.
Quite how these sexy young ladies are gonna solve the world’s environmental problems - such as global warming, deforestation, overpopulation and pollution - ain’t made clear. But hey, it doesn’t really matter does it? At least they have their hearts – and bodies – in the right place.
As for Indonesia’s contestant - Yelena Setiabudi - she was one of the first to show up in the Philippines for this year’s event.
