Do You Like This Story?

Let’s kick off this week’s gallery with some clever – and funny – pictures from the Bald Archy prize.  It’s a parody of the well-known Archibald prize and we have some of the 2012 finalists.

Also in this week’s pics – the uniforms Australia’s Olympic athletes will wear in June, the transgender beauty pageant contestant who was disqualified for being born a boy, Madonna‘s (very) hot pants and what does Lady Gaga look like without makeup?

The finalists of the Bald Archy were announced. Here's Karl and Lisa by James Brennan. It's called Breakfast of Champions.

    i love these galleries but whenever I look at them on my iPhone (most common place of reading Mamamia) the pictures never line up with the captions and I often miss one picture when clicking next. is anyone else having this trouble?

      I say good on her, she has always pushed the boundaries, why stop now by staying at home, wearing cardies and taking up knitting? I’m not into her new music, but she is awesome.

    Who cares that the Australian uniform is similar to previous years? Honestly – it’s actually not supposed to be a fashion statement. If anything, it’s a good thing because we all hold a special bit of green and gold in our heart and i love seeing it worn proudly on those athletes!

      I had to go back for a look! I think it’s how the light shines on the black PVC of her hotpants, but there’s definitely a camel toe – eeewwww.

    I quite like the British uniform. I dont think they have tampered with the union jack in a bad way at all…

      I liked that they included their Paralympians in the photo shoot.
      Australia should be doing more of that.
      I don’t care about our uniform.

    Madonna please, put your butt away. We know you work out & you’re looking fab for your age, but c’mon – just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
