Gulnara Karimova of Uzbekistan

Dariga Facts:

  • Business: Former head of state news agency and major media mogul. Convinced Kazakhstan to go easy on Borat.
  • Political: Harshest critic of her father’s regime, says the Economist. But is this just a ploy to convince the elites she’s not his puppet?
  • Musical: Jury member for Kazakh Idol.

Gulnora:

  • Business: Runs red-light district clubs in Tashkent. Allegedly rakes in the soums by smuggling Uzbek prosititutes to Dubai.
  • Political: Benefits from the state’s crackdowns on all clubs except her own. In general, privatization has been good to Gulnara.
  • Musical: Moonlights as an R&B singer known as Googoosh.

Usually, I’d choose Dariga…. but wait, what’s this, Gulnara used to live in the same tiny 1000-person NJ town as my grandparents! I bet Grandma has talked her ear off while buying lox at Foodtown! Ok, Gulnara wins, and she totally rocks the bling.
