According to Finish tabloid Iltalehti, the 2012 Miss Finland candidates were rounded up, dressed in Lara Croft-inspired gear, and taken out to the arctic circle for a few “Lara Croft themed photos”.
It was minus 25 degrees! But there the Miss Finland candidates were, doing high-kicks, crouching on snowmobiles, and wearing hot pants. Just imagine what the winner will wear to the Miss Universe comp!
