Mercedes Corby on the cover of Ralph (which means to vomit). No airbrushes were used in the making of Mercedes' beauty...

You remember Mercedes Corby, right? She’s the elegant, graceful sister of Australia’s former-favourite marijuana smuggler, Schapelle (who is, herself, very elegant and graceful). And now, her elegance and grace have been noticed and smeared all over the front of the tasteful gentleman’s magazine, Ralph.
Smeared, readers.

If you need a bit of reminding, Mercedes is the Corby moll young lady who fought desperately to expound her sister Schapelle’s innocence during her trial… mainly by yelling racist obscenities and whinging to the Australian press.

But that was before she started doing the rounds of paid interviews, benefiting from her sister’s incarceration in Bali for smuggling counterfeit boogie-boards.

Then her friend, Jodie Powers did an interview with the network that couldn’t pay the Corbys enough for interviews, revealing that they had all been heavily involved in the counterfeit boogie-board racket for years, even go so far as to produce pictures of Schapelle and Mercedes smoking the illicit boogie-boards.

Of course, the price fetched for counterfeit boogie-boards in Bali is a lot lower to the price you can get for them in Australia, raising questions about the intelligence of the Corby cartel. Questions which can be answered by simply spending a bit of time looking over the interviews and media footage of the eloquent Gold Coast family.

You can’t just become a hairdresser. It takes years to be qualified, otherwise you’d see heaps of teenage girls doing it.

The family home, Corbywood on the Gold Coast with a few spare counterfeit boogie boards lying around...

The Corbys family caravan home on the Gold Coast is a testament to the traditional, Aussie, boogie-board smuggling way of life.

The young (and beautiful) Corby sisters would play in the grounds of the caravan park estate, learning how to smuggle boogie-boards by practicing with their barbie dolls (whom they also practiced their hairdressing on).

After a few years, their proud parents were watching them grow up into BEAUTIFUL young boogie-board smugglers with enough grace and elegance to be on the cover of such prestigious publications as Ralph Magazine… And shows like Today / Tonight.

The undeniable beauty of the graceful Corby women. You just try denying it...
