A man and a woman (and how!)

Salt and pepper. Rock and roll. Birds and bees. We're talking great combinations.

This story is about a terrific combination, but it's not about birds and bees. Wait, maybe it is. It's a feature about men and women -- very sexy men and women.

Two famous pageants held their international finals in spring 2006, and the results were reported on PNB. Officially, these two pageants have no connection whatever. In fact, they are diametrically opposite in the contestants they feature. Manhunt International, which was held this year in China, is for men. Miss Hawaiian Tropic International, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, is for women.

The two pageants are both visual treats. But why not look at men and women together? Readers can compare and contrast, and see how the sexes differ.

Representing the men are Manhunt International 2006, Jaime Agusto Mayol, followed by runners-up Fabien Hauquier, Zhao Zheng, Gokhan Kesser and Jose Mendes.

Representing the women are Kristen Achee of Austin, Texas, who is Miss Hawaiian Tropic International 2006 and runners-up Laura Davis, Kerly Ruiz, Tala Stalling and Anya Monzikova.
