Sangat Pedas

Nadine Zamira Sjarief - The Art of Manipulation #EvilLaugh

| 0 comments

I LOVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Fact! So there you have it. It’s out. Glad I got that of my chest. But beauty is only skin deep and not always combined with intelligence. And then to find a woman who is both that and actually puts it to good use puts a big smile on my face.

Yes peepz, through some weird coincidence in my pathetic quest to let celebrities follow me on Twitter I got in contact with the extreme hot multi-talent-mega-celebrity-pageant-queen Nadine Zamira Sjarief.

Mentioning this to a female colleague (who also happens to be a full-time Sangat-Pedas-hater) was quickly replied by a bitchy “No one knows Nadine“. This of course is an implicit contradiction itself, motivated by a typical female envy that guys detect from miles away. But that made me even more convinced Nadine could be one of those rare power women who should be put to the ultimate test: a full on, raw and uncut, in your face Twitterview.

So for the people still insisting that they’ve never heard of Nadine:

BEAUTY: Well, pictures should say more than a thousand words. Nadine was crowned Miss Fabulous Personality Indonesia 2007. Followed by another pageant title Miss Indonesia Earth 2009 which was then followed by the Miss Earth (world wide that is) People’s Choice.

BRAINS: Studied International Relations at the Indonesian University followed by Master of Arts in Communication Studies - Corporate Communication at the London School of Public Relations. RESPCET!

ADVENTURE: 2010 contestant in the Amazing Race Asia. The extreme short version that is.

PASSION: Environmentalist. Founder of LeafPlus and VentiPlus. Besides working on environmental projects active as a model and presenter/host for Kompas TV.

THE BAD: Worst badminton player ever with a total disrespect for the 140 character Twitterview limit.

Q: Anything you would like to add?
A: Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen. :D
