    You know the summer is coming to an end and it's time to get the uniform and the school bag ready when the Rose of Tralee is on the telly box :D

    The Rose of Tralee International Festival is one of Ireland's largest and longest running festivals, celebrating 54 years in 2013. The heart of the festival is the selection of the Rose of Tralee which brings young women of Irish descent from around the world to County Kerry, Ireland for a global celebration of Irish culture.

    It's always seemed kind of sleazy to me ever since Daithí married the young Rose a few years ago.. I can't look at the thing without thinking "Daithí, ye boi ye, has his pick of all the flowers again this year"..

    The Rose of Tralee is so bad it's good.

    Remember the Dublin Rose, Siobheal Nic Eochaidh's cringey hip hop dance a few years ago :o She reminded me a little of former 'Off The Rails' presenter, Caroline Morahan.

    Thanks for that Skid :)

    I do hope that 'Jonjo The Miser' will be joining us this evening, the Rose of Tralee thread wouldn't be the same without his Spanx ratings :D

    The Monaghan Rose reminds me a little of Neve Campbell

    I love the Americans or Australians with the story of great great great grand mother from "Trolley, Co Kerry". With little knowledge of Ireland, but decided to enter anyway.

    Is it just me or does Daiti make it cringy and difficult to watch most of the time?

    It looks like the Donegal Rose borrowed a wedding dress.

    Probably a good thing since it doesn't fit her very well. It's identical to a dress that was available when I was looking for my wedding dress.

    I think she did the dress maker a favour as it is ill fitting across the shoulders.
