Restores My Faith in the Internet

The Incredible Aine Chambers has a website. Chock full of everything you need to know should you visit County Sligo, Ireland. Some are comparing her to Mahir - some folks commenting are taking the piss. But the fact is there is more energy and vitality in Aine's site than 100 blogs.
Oh, and she's got video as well.
I looked real hard for the energy and vitality. Is it in a secret section of the site?

Is this what you English persons call a slapper?

It's after 2am here in Belfast so I'm off to bed - but as my personal pledge to you starting tomorrow morning I'll start to compile my list of 100 blogs that are tepid compared to the divine Ms. Chambers'.

Hmm. A site with pictures of a homely but rather game young (ish) lady. Or am I missing something?

Dude. Genuinely stacked red-haired Irish girl (with face #5 there are only 8 Irish faces, you know) with an 80s wylde chylde haircut and more enthusiasm than web design skills?
That's the girl I was pretty sure I was going to marry (when I was 8). My head cringes in horror, but every single one of my Guinness -soaked mick genes say YES.
Truly the best of the web.

Apparently, showcasing her legs and ass is good for tourism.

xthlc, what's this about 8 Irish faces? After seeing this one, I'd like to see 7 more! (out of curiosity of course)

Nothing like Mahir. Her website actually has useful information and lots of photos of what appears to be a nice part of Ireland.
But this being the internet, a bunch of shallow individuals are going to focus on the bikini photo and completely ignore the rest of the site.
Oh well. Their loss.
I've always wanted to visit Ireland. Sligo looks like a decent place.

Ok, seriously, I just googled it but can't find anything about "8 Irish faces". I really am curious. Is this some kind of myth or stereotype?

there are only 8 Irish faces, you know
I could go with the doleful, Brid Brennan variant, but this buxom Guinness-serving colleen type, not so much so.

8 Irish faces? That many? I always think of the Feargal Sharkey.... face like a kicked bucket.

I'd rather have french maids teach me how to video podcast than try to decipher Auld Lang Syne's voice over the background noise.

That woman really likes her mini skirts. And V-neck skimpy shirts. *cough*liebackandthinkofIreland*cough*

I think she was charming. And I agree with the energy and vitality comment--as amateurish as it is it's a welcome contrast to the too--cool/hipster/I'm tired of everything that seems to be the lingua franca of the web. I am going to Sligo, dammit. I am. And I will look her up when I am there.

Heh, I don't know if it's a well-known thing, but the 8 Irish faces (4 for men, 4 for women) is just something my Irish (& Irish-American / Irish-Canadian) friends like to joke about. It's a terribly inbred island, you know. I'm a #7, myself. There's just something slightly odd about being able to instantly pick out a particular strain of Euro based on their facial features.
Ms Chambers has that round, soft jaw and twinkling eyes that make for a #5. I've got the gigantic potato nose and pursed mouth over a prominent chin that make for (a decidedly black irish) #7. Then there's the blue-eyed red-haired freckly #8, the OMG SO HOT high cheekboned #4 . . . *cough*
Anyway, yes. Modern Ireland has quite a lot of ethnic diversity. But the diaspora of the genotype over the past 175 years has lead to a fairly recognizable set of unrelated-but-very-Irish patterns that make for amusing bar conversation.

Fuck the haters. I'm sold. She even remoinds me of me own dear sainted mother.
Or, what xthlc said.

"Eight Irish faces" is unknown to Google. It would make for a fantastic photo essay if someone cares to, um, essay it.

Count me on her side. I'd rather be drinking with her than any of you sad putdown artistes.

I guess it's a taste thing. I think she is totally hot as nobody's business, but I guess she could be considered a little horsey. Whatever. Fuck the haters, as was said above.

Why should whether or not you find her sexy be the question? The fact that she went out there with her sister and made all these videos and spent time to promote her home town and the surrounding area is the thing, (not that she is above using sex to sell Sligo - see picture creevyk9c.jpg from the link above).

Ilsa, She-Wolf of the IRA
And for all you folks defending her: It's not that she's hideous (because she isn't), it's the presentation. Most everyone really enjoys the occasional vanilla pudding, but not if we're being told that it's delicious cheesecake.

I thought it was cute, if a little cringe-worthy, until I saw the Christmas video. I can't think of a extreme enough variation on my eyes, my eyes - and my ears! but that may just be because not enough people have watched it.

If there ever were "eight Irish faces" it's fairly meaningless in 2006.
Nice find jettloe, and keep up the good work on your own site, I think it's great.
