My pick is Marisa Lange for several reasons. But do any of you notice something about the candidates? Something missing? I'll let you see if you notice what I did.

[Malcove Magnesia]

What do they have in common? A car trunk's worth of makeup. No viable career path.

[East Detroit]

Wow. Maybe with the smoking ban in bars, future Rock Girls won't need so much makeup.

[detroitjim]

Kristen B. is for me.
Missing? Apparently there are no Blackfrikkan,Asian,or Hispanic candidates.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, we have a weiner!


Not that I really care all that much personally, but I found it odd for Detroit. Guess it could be the music style though.

[RickBeall]

Love those corn-fed American Girls.

[Blarf]

It's hard to accept the fact that all those girls take dumps.

[tarkus]

Yeah, and their such a large part of WRIFs audience, I dont get it. Duh

[detroitjim]

they're???

[menckensghost]

Apparently there are no Blackfrikkan,Asian,or Hispanic candidates.

I don't think that assertion can be made. Two of the girls, Jaleece and Cierra, could both be mixed race at the very least. But tell me, what is the target demographic that WRIF is trying to reach? Sure, a sexy babe is a sexy babe, but I can't imagine too many women of color signing up to be the WRIF girl. Just sayin'.

[Patrick]

Damn, some of those girls look like they were found off Groesbeck someplace.

[Diehard]

But tell me, what is the target demographic that WRIF is trying to reach?

Fortysomething Macomb County meatheads with mullets and Camaros?

[East Detroit]

Most of them are from the West side and beyond. Go figure!

[Red Devil]

These are the best 16 they can come up with? Ouch.

[Meddle]

Not exactly the cream of the crop are they? Like I said, there's only one worthwhile in my view, but I'd still like to see a Stacey Dash or Holly Robinson in the running.

We've come such a sad sad way from the days of when Kelly Harmon was the WRIF gal.

BABY!!!



[[Was always a bit disturbed by Arthur Penhallow's voice coming out of Kelly's lips though.)

I think that was the desired effect.

Beyond Arthur Penhallow, it's amazing to think of some of the personalities that were on WRIF back then... Ken Calvert, JJ & the Morning Crew, "Dick the Bruiser", Karen Savelli...

Alas the days of personality driven & informative radio are kaput.

[Meddle]

Appears that my pick won.

Best of the batch, but no where near Kelly.

Fortysomething Macomb County meatheads with mullets and Camaros?

WRIF has been off my radar for 20 years. Can you really play "Stairway to Heaven" 50,000 times ? But the non-farting partner of Drew and Mike still has my ear.

[jerrytimes]

WRIF has to start playing better, current rock and metal music. Stop playing so much 80's rock. They are for the most part, a classic rock station.

[Meddle]

When you find something good, you stick with it.

Not like the [[c)Rap of today.

[tallboy66]

BABY!!!



[[Was always a bit disturbed by Arthur Penhallow's voice coming out of Kelly's lips though.)

bbbb BABY!

Uh, but Cierra Vanduke is mighty hot, but I've always like those mixed girls in Ferndale.

[GOAT]

Wonder if Penhallow is still smacking a woman around? I could never stand him and glad he got busted.
