The new Miss and Mister Bavaria 2012 (Miss und Mister Bayern 2012) are gorgeous, dark-haired Christina Trost, 23, and Dominic Fischer (ditto on the 23, gorgeous, and dark-haired, plus he stands 1m77). Miss Bavaria 2012 runners-up were Akgün Gülsen and Stefanie Fürst. In the men's department, the runners-up were Florian Keck and Daniel Griemer. The venue for this year's Miss and Mister Bavaria 2012 contest, which was held yesterday, was again the main shopping mall in Nuremburg. 29 women and 7 seven competed for the coveted titles. If you add shopping mall, co-ed pageant, bademode, and lederhosen, you have what is probably one of Dean Harris' favorite pageants of the year! This is, of course, not to mention that Dean Harris has some Bavarian roots in his family tree. (Photos: Jürgen Friedrich/nordbayern.de)
