Beauties grace Assembly fair

JAKARTA (JP): The stall that produces the Bee Jelly health drink first attracted customers by inviting former badminton champion Verawati Fajrin to attend.

On Saturday, the fair -- held on the sidelines of the General Session -- drew even more shoppers because of its special guests: Alya Rohali, Shella and Riries, according to Antara. All were finalists in the 1996 Miss Indonesia competition.

"I will only be here for one day, for the promotion of a beauty product," Alya said.

A Golkar legislator passed by and, evidently attracted by the refreshing sight, visited the stand and sampled Gula Asam, a health drink that is said to also help people lose weight.

"How do you like it, Sir?" one of the three beautiful attendants asked.

"It's delicious. Fresh..." the legislator said. (swe)
