BANGOR, Maine, USA, May 22, 2009 — The refrigerator door is closed, the lights are out, the butter is getting hard, the eggs are cooling, and the Jell-O is jiggling” the immortal Chick Hearn would have said of Anastasia’s latest challenge of beauty and splendor. Anastasia, the premiere resource for Western men to connect with women from Russia & CIS for friendship and marriage, has put the controversy of what men prefer, a blonde or brunette, to bed at least for this year. And although the fat lady has already sung in this debate, the only women in sight are the sixty ravishing Blondes and Brunettes who have taken part in this scorcher of a contest to determine what features in women men most desire. Dubbed Blondes vs. Brunettes, the title alone conjures up visions of lustful carnal confrontation.

The format to settle the question pitted 30 gorgeous Russian Blondes against an equal number of delectable Post-Soviet Brunettes in an online, no holds barred campaign to determine the winner. Open on-site voting was held to which over 67,000 men participated, casting more than half a million total votes to find a winner from among the 60 captivating contestants.

When the dust settled, this year’s winner was the heartbreaking, breathtaking blonde Natalya of Odessa, Ukraine. The diminutive blue eyed, fair haired Natalya is a university student who aspires to theater and acting. A self proclaimed art aficionado, over 20,600 Anastasia members who cast votes in her favor believe the 21 year old Natalya herself is a work of art…enough to place her first among 60 amazing handpicked ladies from Anastasia’s delicious and vast women’s membership.

Winner receives a Certificate of Accomplishment, a bouquet of roses and lilies, a gift certificate and extensive press and web coverage. First runner-up 22 year old brunette enchantress Aleksandra, also from Odessa, is a college student as well with one university degree already under her belt.

An interesting statistic that emerged from the voting equalized the winners and runners up to the contest. Of the voting public, more voted for brunettes overall than voted for blondes, although the ultimate winner was fair haired.
