I am not a fan of this girl but I am presenting her for Mike.
Do you know that CNN included Doda on its list of famous Poles through the ages, together with Chopin, Walesa, JPII and other???
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Dorota Rabczewska, or Dorota Rabczewska-Majdan, is often nicknamed Doda or Doda Elektroda or "the Polish Britney Spears." She was born in Ciechanow, and is one of the most famous and successful pop singers in Poland.

Doda started her career at the age of 14 and became popular after her participation in a reality TV show "Bar." In 2000, at the age of 16, Rabczewska became the vocalist of the Polish rock band Virgin.

In December 2005 and October 2007, she posed nude for the Polish edition of Playboy Magazine. She also posed for CKM Magazine several times.

Doda received a Superjedynka award on National Festival of Polish Song in Opole in 2006.

In 2007, she left her record company, Virgin, to begin a solo career. Her first solo album was released in 2007 and was certified as gold on the day before its official release. In 2008, her album "Diamond pregnant dog" went double platinum after 60,000 copies of the album had been sold.














All that glitters is not gold. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Polish magazines are not behind, even if it`s years after Demi Moore first made her shoxking appearance


She's famous for being one of Poland's most beautiful women and one of its most popular entertainers, and now, a very pregnant Natasza Urbanska has done the obligatory "au natural" photo spread in the current issue of 'Viva de Luxe.' Talk about a pregnant glow!

I got up today, looking for my Easter Bunnies, the Playboy type, and nothing. I must have been a bad boy.
If you have a extra Bunnie, the type I want, could you please share.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL
Mike

I am afraid you need to go to the nearest newsagent`s/kiosk and get a magazine. Hard life! ;D

CCSU student named Miss Polonia USA
New Britain (CT) Herald
Thursday, November 5, 2009

NEW BRITAIN — Central Connecticut State University student Magdalena Slysz was crowned Miss Polonia USA (Miss Polish American) Oct. 24 in Greenpoint, New York.

Slysz said the scholarship pageants are "a great way to represent your nationality and the Polish community in general." As Miss Polonia USA, Slysz represents the Polish community on both a state and national level. She notes that her achievement has boosted her self-confidence, and allowed her to "network with people, and just get myself out there."

As a representative of the Polish community, Slysz does much to support youth through participating in events such as "Toys for Tots."

Slysz, a senior business major with a minor in management, grew up in the Polish community of New Britain.

Her parents met after immigrating to America in the early 1980s. Slysz was born and raised in New Britain and currently lives in Farmington.

Slysz' first language is Polish, and she credits her retention of the language to communicating with her parents, as well as through attending a Polish school in her youth.

She said she is grateful for this knowledge because she can fully communicate with members of her family, most of whom still reside in Poland.

Slysz was named Miss Polonia Connecticut last year at the Polish National Home in Hartford, and was subsequently invited to compete for the Miss Polonia 2009 crown. Last year, she was also awarded Miss Publicznosci (Miss Public), Miss Swimwear, Miss Photogenic, and Miss Internet.

Slysz has visited Poland most summers, and spent a semester at a Polish institution through a CCSU study abroad program. She has also taken Polish language classes at Central and toured the Polish Consulate in New York.

Slysz encourages other women to compete in the pageants. She said it offers an opportunity to learn more about one's background, and remarks.

"You never know where it will take you," she said.
