I suggest that the next Bb. Pilipinas must not necessarily be the most intelligent but someone who is witty and can engagingly carry a conversation pretty well. She must not necessarily be the most beautiful but she should rather be someone who has the X-factor matched with amazing personality and incredible posture/catwalk worthy of emulation for her to stand out among the many beautiful ladies all over the world. That X-factor can surely make heads turn and give her a second look! An amazing and compassionate personality can definitely capture the hearts not only of the judges but importantly the rest of the people who look for someone to emulate. Her life must be with a purpose, something that people would like to talk about and consider as exemplary and inspiring. All these must come in one package if we expect a Filipina to consistently enter the finals in the Miss Universe and Miss World Pageants. The Bb. Pilipinas organizers must also try to be patriotic in choosing the gowns and other wardrobes of our representatives. A modernized terno is an amazing piece of art which would definitely showcase the ingenuity of the Filipino. We have many good designers who can lend a hand in choosing the perfect wardrobes for our girl to make her look stunning and elegant rather than acquiring the services from other foreign lands which I am sure they would never totally give our girl the perfect look because, of course, they also want their rep to win the crown. The BPCI must also stop the habit of cooking "lutong macao" if we really want to send the best representative we could ever have. There are so many beautiful Filipinas with great personalities but were often discouraged to join the pageant for they knew they will never be able to make it since they don't have a strong hold with anyone involved in the beauty pageant. The judging must be fair and square. Period. I think we need an overhaul in the BPCI. Madam Araneta, though she’s married to a Filipino, is a Colombian by heart remember and I personally believe she’s not really that committed in choosing the best Filipino woman to represent our country for the right pageant more particularly so in the Miss Universe. We are such a beauty pageant crazy country we don't deserve to have a mediocre Bb. Pilipinas titleholder!

Subject: TIPS SA MGA SASALI NG BEAUTY PAGEANT(Mula kay Wanda Ilusyunada


Author:
WANDA ILUSYUNADA(Ang Ines Legron ng Pink Mafia)
[Edit]

Date Posted: 09:03:41 06/11/07 Mon

Byukonera

iteklavu e para sa mga hayok sa byukon, na sa sobrang ka-hayukan e nag-iilusyong sumali pa.

tara sali tayo ahihihihi ... eto, ilan sa mga tips na na-getching ng lola mo sa pakiki-usyoso sa mga pageant at pakiki-chikka sa mga ambisyosang paniki na minsan e nagbalak din jumoin.

7. handa na ba kayo?

payo ng masho-shondang vheykla, daig ng chakkang maagap ang chakkang masipag. kasi anupamang pageant-pageantan iyaners e kelangan talagang pinaghahandaan. mula muk-up hanggang sapatos hanggang hair-do e pinagpa-planuhan dapat. kelangan match yung mga kulay nang wichelles ka naman magmukhang sapin-sapin.

kung miss international yung sasalihan mo, kerri-kerri lang yan. wai naman mashadong nanunuod ata non e nyahahahaha kakaloka naman kasi prodaksyon balyu nung miss international. prodaksyon lang, waing balyu. parang pam-baryong pageant lang tuwing piyesta itu.

pero kung miss yu tsaka miss world yung sasalihan mo, talaga namang mag-effort ka na at magprepara. kung kinakailangang ngayonchi pa lang e lumalaklak ka na ng pinaghalong lakas ng glutathione tsaka metathione e gawin mo na. kung kinakailangan mag-fly ka sa venezuela at mag-train kasama ng mga higanteng byukonera na anlalapad ng bunganga at banat na banat ang fez, aba bakla, di kita pipigilan. lipad na!!!

wag tularan yung friendship ni manay cindy dati na inisponsoran niya ng super-mega-over sa plunging na gown. wa talagang prepara-preparasyon itu. parang ilang oras bago yung kontes saka lang nagdesisyon na sasali.

madalian itu. isa siyang chakkang masipag na tarantatious at aligagang bakeshop (bakla).

kaya nung dinala namin yung gown sa mismong kontes para gamitin sa parade op nations nung byukonera, azz in unang fitting niya itu, nagwala talaga si manay cindy.

isplukara ni manay, "bakla, sana mag-ahit naman tayo ng chest hairs bago mag plunging, HA!?!?!"

NYAHAHAHAHA!!! kalurki ...

6. attitude, ampotah!?!

dapat attitude pa lang e winner ka na. hindi ibig sabihin magiinar-ar herrera ka ha??? wa ka pa karapatan mag diva-divahan. umarte ka nang tama kundi aakyatin kita sa stage at kokonyatan kita nang malakas.

yung tamang attitude kasi nagiging kompidenz yan, tandaan mo.

wirit paniwalaan lahat ng binibida nung host. lalu na pag napangalanan na yung top 15 o kaya top 10 tapos sasabihin niya, "thank you, girls, you are all winners just being here on stage ..." KYEMBOT! winner ka diyan, LECHE! tsinelasin ko pagmumukha mo e.

keme-keme patatas lang yon, noh??? pagpalubag loob lang ampotah kasi nga mga loss kayo. mga ligwakers. tinawag pa kayong "thank you girl." sarap sapakin, davah???

e isipin mo lagi na win ka. at sayo ang korona pati yung scepter tsaka yung sash na lumamon ng ilang supot glitters. ipaglalaban mo ng patayan na winnona ryder ka.

isplukara nga ng friendship ni atashi na yung byuti daw e nagsisimula sa sarili. kelangan maniwala ka mismo na ikawchiwa e byondaciousness at bonggaciousness combind. kung wit ka pa kuntento don, ipagkalat mo. sabihin mo sa sarili mo, tapos ipasa mo sa makakatabi mo sa jeep. o kaya i-text mo sa lahat. send to all. parang kowt.

siyempre sa una iisipin nila, "ambisyosang higad naman to." pero di kalaunan (anlalim non, di kalaunan hehehe) pagbibigyan ka na nila, "sige na nga, maganda ka na." kahit plastikada, at least di ba ... hehehe ... yun lang, at least ... hehehe

so kahit may peklat ka ng pinagbakunahan sa kaliwang pisngi ng wetpaks mo o puro tig-mamiso man yung binti mo, tapos swimsuit kompetisyon pa itu, isipin mo na mananalo ka at ikaw yung pinaka-fabulosa at pinaka-flawless sa lahat at witchikels ka papayag na uuwi kang thank you girl.

ganyan talaga. dahil walang hindi nadadaan sa kumbinsing powers ng sariling ambisyon at ilang pahid ng concealer at foundation hehehe

moral lesson, laging mag-baon ng concealer at foundation na ka-match ng skin color. lalabas kang katawa-tawa pag hindi.

5. impaktita ka

para mapaniwala yung taumbayan sa powers mong magmaganda, kelangan may hatak ka na sisigaw at titili at magwawala pag umeeksena ka na. kahit mali-mali ka na e puro lang sila sigaw at tili at walang pakundangang pagwawala. yun ang silbi nila sa pageant.

kung duda ka sa hatak power mo, deadma ka lang. may remedyo yan, gurl. kung may nababayaran nga para mag-rally, ka-sure si atashi na may mahahatak ka ring magchi-cheer para sayo.

strategy yan e. pampalakas ng audience impak.

kaya pag nakalusot ka sa miss yu, ipagkalat mo agad sa friendster tsaka myspace tsaka multiply, o kahit sa mga shopetbahay mo na lang, na naghahanap ka ng audience mo. chikka mo lang na libre cotton candy at stork at kornik at kung anek-anek pang ginang give-aways tsaka pangkabuhayan showcase, na may kasama pa itung chippy at chiz curls na may kalakip na picture ni nora aunor prom da flor contemplacion story.

sabihin mo ring wit na nila kerri mag bringalu ng banner, streamer at plakard cheverlyn kasi gawa na itu at gigiblaban mo na lang sila. yan ang prepared ahihihihi!!!

kung yung ms photogenic award e dinadaan sa text votes, magagamit mo rin yung audience impak mo diyan. pangakuan mo lang ng pasa-load para sa lahat ng smart, globe, sun at tm subscribers ... pati na rin yung sa islacom, kung meron pang tira-tira.

4. aksident prone area

remember me dis way mo yung alamat ng "kaya niyo yon"?

yun yung may byondaciousness na gurlilet na rumarampage kunsaan tapos nadulas tapos sabi niya, "O HA, kaya niyo yon?" at nagfiling na waing nangyari yung hitad kahit knowsline chinatown mo namang napahiya siya ng over.

e akalain mo may pinanggalingan pala yung chikkang yon.

si miriam quiambao nga nadulas daw sa stage nung pre-pageant pero muntik nang maging miss yu.

si melanie marquez e tumalsik daw yung high heels nung may kontes sa rampahan pero super model ang drama niya ngayinz. (wag lang talagang isabak sa quizz bee itu)

at si miss usa nadulas sa sariling gown pero runner up pa din ang drama ng american pechay.

kaya sinu ka ba naman, divah, para hindi magpadulas???

kung kinakailangang peke-in yung kamalasan mo sa stage, gawin mo. tisurin ang sarili. magpakalaglag sa entablado. kunchabahin yung floor direktor at utusang mag-improbays sa rampahan ng isang buong obstacle cors ng naglalaglagang ilaw at mwebles tsaka natutumbang poste tsaka nagbibitak-bitak na flooring. pero siguraduhin mo lang na matumba-tumba ka man e pu-projek ka pagtayo mez para kunwari bawing-bawi yung effort.

kahit bali na yung buto mez, kahit duguan ka na, tayo ka lang uli. grasyosa ka e. hayaan mo sila mag-alala para sayo, maganda ka naman.

hindi ka man manalo, at least mari-realize mong may karir ka pala as stunt woman.

3. projek runway

mahalaga yung pagpo-projek na yan, kala mo.

importante na umaangat talaga yang look mo sa iba. kasi kung hindi e sana hindi ka na lang sumali ng pageant. sana nag wowowee ka na lang at naki-boom tarat sa madlang pipol, baka naging bigaten ka pa.

siyempre may opening danz number yan, dapat rehearsal pa lang projek na projek ka na. yung level na maribeth bitchessa na may pabuka-buka pa ng bibig tsaka pouching-pouching ng lips kahit step-step-kick lang ginagawa niyo. projek lalu pag may jazz kick nang kasama. para naman mapansin ka ng prodyuser at ilagay ka sa harap. pag nagkataon, projek ka lalu para isipin ng taumbayan na ikaw nag-koryo nung buong sayaw ahihihihi

eh yung iba kasi natural na havs nitech. yung iba kelangan pagtrabahuan ng over. nagagawa yan sa pamamagitan ng pagharap sa salamin at pagpa-praktis mag-projek. pag nagulantang ka sa sarili mong fez, yun na yon. pero pag witchikels pa, try ka na lang uli later. kung may sakit sa puso, iwasang gawin sa madaling araw.

dapat kasi nangungusap yung look mo. tingin mo pa lang, sentence na. chikka nga ng guro, may kumplit tot itu. para ma-test mo, mag-projek ka kung kani-kanino.

pag tinanong ka kung OK ka lang, PROJEK.

pag tinanong kung anong oras na, PROJEK.

pag tinanong kung aneklavu order mo, PROJEK.

pag tinanong kung dine in o take out, PROJEK.

pag hinold-ap ka, PROJEK.

pag tinanong kung lukaret ka, PROJEK.

projek lang nang projek. pag may nagreact, gano man itu ka-bayolente, kerri yon. ibig sabihin lang non kuha mo na ang pagpu-projek ahihihihi

2. kostyum parteee

siyempre pinaka-aabangan ang eksenahan sa best in national kostyum. kasi diyan nanggagaling ang wow-pakshet-nagulantang-ang-bangs-ko factor. yan yung unang chanz mo magpa-bibbo cheverlou.

pero para maiba naman, deadmahin na yung LUZVIMINDA kostyum. gasgas na yan. yung igorota epek na may palayok-palayok sa ulo, ilan beses ko nang na-sight yan noh???

ia-assume ni atashi na pilipinas yung ire-represent mo, davah?! tapos kunwari nabulag mo yung bb. pilipinas at ikaw daw talaga pinadala sa miss yu. so ngayon pa lang e isip ka na ng mga pang national kostyum na talagang pinoy na pinoy.

andiyan yung kostyum ni darna. orig natin yan, kahit mukhang piniratang bersyon ni wonder woman e deadma ka na lang. pag tinanong ka bakit yan, sabihin mo kasi simbolo siya ng strong woman o kung bet mo may sosyal relebanz e sabihin mong representasyon ka ng nakakalokang kahirapan sa pinas na sa sobrang walang makain e lumulunok ng lang tayo ng bato tapos ngumangawa. davah, nahanapan daw ng konek nyahahahaha!!! pag pilian mo din sina inday en da golden bibe, valentina, volta at kahit isa lang sa super amazing twins, kung sino man sila.

kung gusto mo rin na swak sa panlasang pinoy ang kostyum-kostyuman mez e try mo, azz in suggestment ko lang naman itu, try mo lang magpa-construct ng national kostyum na gawa sa adobo. yung may karne, dahon ng laurel, toyo, suka at pamintang buo. ampinoy, davah??? baka matakam sayo ang mga janis hurado.

o kaya suot mo na lang kostyum ni jollibee para at home na at home ka talaga. kakaiba yun, in fuhrnezz. may konse-konsepto kunwari ahihihihi ... eh kung bet mo ng gurlilet, try mo din si hetty spaghetti, yung mascotterang nagkalat ng spaghetti sa sarili niyang buhok. anoveh?? kaya lang baka isipin ng mga hurado na dugyutin kang bilat, so mag-jollibee ka na nga lang. O KAYA SI SCOTT BURGER BWAHAHAHAHA!!! yung obis na batang may dakekang na hamborger sa ulo nyahahahaha PANALO YUNG MASCOT NA YON!!!

pero kung wichelles mo bet mag-effort, come as you are ka na lang. wa pa gumagawa nitech. ever. basta umentra ka na lang sa stage nang naka-pekpek shorts, waing bra tapos naka-t shirt na bigay ng DARE o kaya ng DOH o kahit aneklavung pambahay kahit may punit pa talaga itu o bakas nung nasunog habang super plantsa yung merMAID niyong si kiray. pag linibak ka ng press isplukara mez na ang tunay na kagandahan e lumilitaw kahit naka-daster ka lang nyahahahaha!!! TARUZH PA DIN!!!

1. 'sang tanong, 'sang sagot!

dito nagkaka-alaman tsaka nagkakasubukan kung sineklavu sa mga byukonera yung kabog, yung ligwak at yung nadaan lang sa muk-up. sa monument na itech nagpapawis ang mga kili-kili at mga singit-singit, lalu na kung batuhin ka ng mga tanong na kalalim-laliman ampotah. may ganung factor talaga, kala mo pagandahan lang.

kaya dapat in touch ka sa mga current ebents at nagbabasa ka ng YES magazine (UY, plugging!!!). dapat alam mo yung sagot ni ylmas bektas sa sagot ni anabelle rama sa sagot ni ruffa sa tanong nina tito boy at tita christy sa DA BUZZ!!! dapat nagmamatalino ka tsaka kritikal-kritikalan mag-isip na nahahanapan mo talaga ng konek ang pagkakakulong ni paris hilton sa kaguluhan sa iraq at sa gutom sa aprika kahit wala naman talaga silang kinalaman sa isa't isa. basta ang ending, pag na-getlak mo yung korona tutulong ka sa maysakit nyahahahaha .. wa talagang konek.

kakaloka yung shopetbahay nung friendship ni atashi na sumali daw sa ginoong pilipinas cheverlyn o mr pogi eklat. ewan, di ko ka-sure kung alin alin alin sa kanila. basta yung pageant na naga-outsource ng byukonero sa mr world, yun na yon. eh yung boylet na yon e bata pa ata e ginu-groom nang byukonero. todo gym, todo facial, todo vitamins, todo ebrithing. yan yung tinatawag na karir moves. nakaligtaan lang nila na may quiz pala.

sa question en answer portion daw e tinanong yung boyletz, "nakakasama ba o hindi nakakasama ang gera sa pilipinas?"

sabi nung boyletz, "nakakasama po ..." tapos monument of saylenz. dead air itu. antagal daw. tapos lumapit uli siya sa mic. "Opo, nakakasama po ... (pause) ... ang gera sa pilipinas." yun lang.

eh hindi ata na-getz nung judge o nung emcee na wala nang kadugtong yung sagot nung boyletz kaya yung ending daw e nag-antayan silang tatlo kung sineklavu unang magsasalita hehehe

pero siyempers andiyan din yung mga pa-cute tsaka patawang tanong ng mga nagpapa-cute tsaka nagpapatawang judge. dun sa isang miss gay na napuntahan ko (wit ako sumali ha, mega-watch lang akiz) phone in question nung jisang judge, "kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataong tanungin ang sarili mo, anong tanong yon?"

napalunok si bakla. im sure iniisip niya na tinatarantado siya o di kaya sinasabotahe ni judge. hiyawan yung taumbayan kasi wa ma-ispluk si bakla. napapahiya na siya.

napalunok uli siya. nagtaas ng kilay. humingang malalim tapos lumapit sa mikropono. sagot niya, azz in sa tonong nagtataray talaga, "... bakit ako?"

nasagot talaga yung tanong ng isa pang tanong, davah??? e ayaw paawat nung judge. humirit pa itu ng, "bakit ... bakit yon??"

e sky-rocketing high na yung buhay na buhay na kilay ni bakla. gusto nang tumalon mula sa noo niya. nagtataray na talaga itu. sagot ng byukonera, "at bakit naman hindi?" sabay projek tapos talikod tapos balik sa pwesto.

palakpakan ang madla. winner si bakla.

I hope beauty pageant organizations in the Philippines cease operation because nobody is safe from being ridiculed to the core. Let those pinoy faggots who are unsatisfied with any winner to join instead. Let them have a taste of their own medicine. Amen! (Ah Men) Wala na sanang sumaling magaganda!

Please huwag niyong iblame si Jonas Gaffud sa mga nangyayaring kasawian ng mga Binibining Pilipinas natin. Haven't you remembered na Michelle Reyes ay galing sa kanya at nakapaguwi not one but two titles - Miss Toursim International and Miss Tourism World? And Jhezarie Javier though she didn't make the cut sa Miss International took home instead the Miss ASEAN? And Maffae Yunon was partly trained by Jonas too? And there's one common denominator - they were never trained in Coloombia - only their national costumes made by Barraza were recycled.

So who's to blame? No other than their training stint in Colombia. Magagaling sina Jonas and Rodgil kaya lang pag pinapupunta sa Colombia, PUMAPANGIT! Nagmumukhang katulong to the max! Kaya huwag niyong sisihin si Jonas Gaffud. Hindi niya kasalanan kung pagintrega niya sa Bb. ay magaganda tapos papangit na pag hawak na ni STella. Mula ng pumunta mga bets natin doon nagmukhang losyang sila.

Tahimik lang si Jonas at ayaw niyang patulang ang mga ganitong intriga at kasiraan kasi naman milyonarya na siya. Dami ng perang naiakyat sa kanya ng mga models niya sa kanyang Mercator Agency kaya bale wala sa kanya kung bigo ang mga bets natin na hinawakan niya kasi nga mayaman na lola niyo at alam naman natin na hindi niya kasalanan kung pumalpak girls natin sa Miss U venue dahil nga isinalang niya ng magaganda ang mga girls niya sa Bb. Pilipinas at nanalo pa, then the rest is up to Stella na. Kaya sina Stella na lang at Colombia ang sisihin ninyo. Yun lang po.

Subject: MISS UNIVERSE 2007: ASIAN TRIUMPH IN THE LAND OF PAGEANT-PASSIONATE LATINO-LAND (PART 1)


Author:
Joseph Vitug
[Edit]

Date Posted: 22:23:33 06/04/07 Mon

When I learned that this year’s Miss Universe pageant will be held in Mexico, I braced myself for a pageant dominated by Caucasians and Latinos, that Asians and other people of color would only be given a token slot, at most, even if say, these nations would field outstanding contestants. Judging from the past three editions of this pageant, there seems to be a few laws that are followed, namely:

• There should be at most one Asian in the semifinals.*1
• There should be at most one lady with dark skin in the semifinals. *2
• Blondes will be represented in the final round. *3
• Miss Mexico should be in the final cut, or else…*4

*1 In 1978, Israel is technically the “Asian” in the group, though these days Israel tends to associate itself with Europe. In 1989, no Asians made it. In 1993, India made it. Australia may be associated with the Asia-Pacific region lately, and it is often grouped with the Asians, but strictly speaking, Australia isn’t in Asia.
*2 In 1978, no dark-skinned lady made the cut. In 1989, the dark-skinned contingent was represented by Jamaica’s Sandra Foster while in 1993 it was represented by USA’s Kenya Summer Moore.
*3 In 1978, blondes are represented by Mz. USA and Sweden (1st and 4th runner-up respectively); in 1989, there were three blondes with Mz. Holland, Sweden, and Poland (Miss Universe, 1st and 3rd runner-up respectively); and 1993, there was Australia’s Voni Delfos keeping a finals slot warm for the blondes, eventually ending up in 4th place.
*4 It wasn’t a problem in 1978 and 1989 as Mexico made the semifinals, but a wild uproar ensued when Mexico missed the Top 10 in 1993, leading them to boorishly boo Miss USA whenever she appeared throughout in the final broadcast.

Looking through this year’s batch of contestants, I was praying that a few of these rules would be broken as I found so many stunning Asians and Africans. There are also so many strong blondes and I would be happy to see some of them there (any of them, really), but I was hoping for at least four Asians and two black Africans in the final cut. Did my wishes come true?

Let’s leave that question unanswered for the moment so we can talk about the telecast itself. There were only a few subtle changes from last year’s telecast, namely:

• After expanding the list of semifinalists from 15 to 20 last year, it is back to 15 this year.
• The final interview doesn’t have a chit-chat section anymore—just a straightforward Q&A.
• The final interview is now questions asked by the judges, instead of questions composed by the five finalists and the reigning Miss Universe.

The stage may have been very contemporary (and modeled after the most recent Victoria’s Secret fashion show), but I missed the Mexican flavor they used to infuse in previous editions. Video projections of Aztec icons and adding a large Aztec sun disc as a prop in the swimsuit round were not enough to create a warm cultural touch to what was essentially a cold, impersonal, modernist backdrop. In a flippant note, the stage also reminded me of Elvis Presley’s 1968 landmark TV special and his musical number in the movie “Jailhouse Rock.”

The hosting of Vanessa Minnillo and Mario Lopez is expectedly competent and flawless. Vanessa employed her extensive experience hosting MTV Total Request Live and as correspondent to Entertainment Tonight to have complete command of the show, even firmly yet politely disciplining the unruly Mexican crowd when Miss USA came on during the final interview. Mario may primarily be known as an actor (“Saved by the Bell”) and as a well-regarded runner-up in Dancing with the Stars, but he also has significant hosting experience up his sleeve. He kept control of himself in the way he conducted his job, but you just have that subtle sense that he’s thrilled with this gig, especially with his noted red-blooded Casanova reputation*5. Better this than the Neanderthal chauvinistic hosting style of Ariel Ureta at Miss Earth.

*5 Another piquant note about Mario Lopez—I recalled watching a children’s game show hosted by Mario several years ago, and even then without trying Mario seems to be packing “heat”. Obviously you can’t really help it if you’re naturally built that way.

I enjoyed the taped TV introductions in national costumes*6, and I felt sad regarding rumors (fueled by the absence of a national costume award this year and the lack of a full-fledged costume competition with a last minute change in format and venue among the pre-pageant activities) that they’ll eliminate this portion in future editions. I speculate it was a matter of a lack of sponsorship that the award is absent this year.

*6 Set to Nelly Furtado’s US No. 1 smash “Say It Right.” I don’t really see how this song fits in a pageant, but I love the song anyway.

Instead of hiring two live musical acts this year, they manage only to get only one—Mexican pop vocal group RBD—to perform in one of the semifinal rounds (only the swimsuit round this time). They are aiight by me, as Randy Jackson would say it. Canned pop music was used instead for the evening gown round, piping in Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole’s duet “Give Your Love to Me”. The music unexpectedly worked, in my opinion*7.

*7 Actually, I always thought Sean Paul’s grooves could be a good fit for a catwalk/gown round, but I know most choreographers would tend to visualize wet T-shirts and denim hotpants when they play his music. When I hear his No. 1 smash “Get Busy”, I visualize gorgeous gamines dressed elegantly presenting themselves before royalty. For his other No. 1 smash “Temperature”, I visualize gamines swaying and strutting long strides in choreographed unison walking across the stage and on a catwalk. Maybe “Temperature” would’ve been a great fit for a swimsuit round.

With the exception of 1993, there was one woman who would always appear in a Mexico-held Miss Universe telecast who would always take my breath away. She was in the board of judges in 1978 and this edition, and she was on hand to help out with the prizes in 1989. The key reason she took my breath away was because it was so amazing how she looked—it was as if she has drank the fountain of youth. She’s Christiane Martel de Aleman, wife of the governor of Veracruz, Mexico and Miss Universe 1953 from France. In 1978, she looked youthful enough that she could actually still compete with the delegates out there—hard to believe she won the crown 25 years before that. In 1989, she looked like a lady in her early 30s. Now, she simply looked like a gorgeous lady in her 40s. She and Apasra Hongsakula are the front-runners for the title of best-preserved beauties. Are you sure she won the crown 54 years ago? Older members of the Miss World Sorority, especially her compatriot Denise Perrier who won in the same year as she did, would look like her aunts if you dare have them seat beside her. Not to mention the first Miss Universe Armi Kuusela—they only won their titles one year apart, but if you look at them side-by-side now, it would be as if Christiane won her crown about two decades later. Man, if only we can look as good as her when we reach her age.

Before we discuss the semifinalists and finalists, of course we should pay tribute to the ladies who won the special awards, namely:

PHILIPPINES – Anna Teresa Licaros. Alright, we know the value of the Miss Photogenic award has diminished because it is now judged according to Internet popularity (they should rename it as such) and we know how to deploy our resources to get that edge over other countries. But still, any consolation is still welcome because this lady did perform at a high competitive level—in fact, rumor has it that if the Top 15 was solely decided by the preliminary judging panel without any inputs from Trump & Co., she would be in it. Anyway, she looked deservingly photogenic when she received her award on TV—love the way her hair was styled that night—she would’ve probably had a more convincing performance if her hairdo was like that during the presentation show.

CHINA – Ningning Zhang. This sweet lady won the Miss Congeniality award. It turns out to be an all-Asian victory when it comes to the crown and the special awards, and in my opinion it’s a moment worth relishing.

Coming up: The Top 15.

Inside Sources say Spain, Paraguay, Greece, Serbia, and Philippines were in the "real" Top 15 but replaced with Nicaragua (who was apparently 16), Czech Republic (who was 19), and three others who nobody has yet named. Interesting! They should just send through the 15 or 20 with the highest scores or at least lie about it. Instead Trump boldly rubs it in everyone's faces that the pageant is at least partly fixed as to who advances. Why don't they have a 4th level of preliminary competition that includes a second interview with the management of Miss Universe LLC and let that be 25% of the preliminary score?

MISS U 2007 LESSON LEARNED
I hope the Bb organizers learned their lesson during the recently concluded Miss U and perhaps adopt a new method of selecting the winner to the Miss U so as not to waste their efforts and disappoint their Filipino supporters year after year. So what did we see from the final 5. We saw 2 Asians who clearly demonstrated what the Miss U is looking for ...a beautiful face, killer bod, the right gown, engaging personality and ramping skills to boot- enough to propel them to the finals round. What propelled Licaros to win the Bb Universe title is her shear interview skills which unfortunately for her and to us all was not enough to lend her a spot, at least in the semifinals at the Miss U. So much emphasis is given to THAT Bb contestant who can converse well in English and without a glitch when in fact both Misses Korea and Japan used their native language to answer their final question. So why can't we do the same? Are we crippled by our "colonial mentality". Screw that. Who needs that mentality nowadays. We ought to be proud of our language and let our language be heard across the globe when spoken to. That said, I propose to the Bb hardheads and elitists this:
1.That during interviews, all lady contestants may choose any language of choice and that they be judged as to content of answer, vibrance and confidence while being interviewed. If one chooses to speak English, correctness in the English grammar should not be a basis to score high points. Lets leave that in the English classroom folks.
2. Choose the most beautiful, sexy and captivating Filipina in the pageant. If she happens to be raw, well, get her trained in all aspects of the Miss U competition.
3. Training should be left to local pageant veterans so that our contestant retains her Filipina-ness rather than adopting a second rate Colombian wannabe-look. Notice how our ladies became Hispanicized after their Colombian training and therefore become unnoticed by the judges as they just fade away amongst the sea of Latin beauties. The Filipina beauty if left untainted is a world class beauty.
3. Gowns and costumes should be assigned to the best local or international designer who wants to get a break for his or her business. I trust in the Filipino creativity and ingenuity. The Colombian designer has definitely lost his steam. The Bb should definitely consider scouting around for fresh new talents.
4. Lastly, to Madam whoever and your advisors. Please be aware that times have changed. If u dont keep up with the times, you had better step down and let someone else do a better job or all you can ever expect are disappointed Filipinos year after year whose unwaivering support to our Filipina rep propels her to winning the Miss U Photogenic Internet award. It is such an irony because an award should be respected at all cost but yet here we find that we become the target of ridicule and laughing stock in the beauty pageant community. I speak only for myself, but I cringe when the photogenic award is being handed. Should we care what the universe thinks? I think we should because after all, our Filipina deserves more than a just a texters vote.

Miss Argentina speaks out



The Argentine delegate to Miss Universe 2007 Daniela Stucan commented to a local radio station that the Asian countries had a lot of influence on Miss Japan's victory. Here are some of her statements [my translation] that were printed in Infobae.com:



- "I represented Argentina in Miss Universe, which is the most important contest."
- "People were saying many things. In pageants, there are many interests in the way. They were saying that Asian countries were worried that another Latin would win, and that they would withdraw next year if this happened."
- "Asia won all of the prizes. From what I've heard, I was in the top 20, but the list was cut down to 15, so I am not really sure."

Well, she certainly doesn't sound as bitter as Brazil's Natália Guimarães, but like her Brazilian counterpart, Stucan is unquestionably disillusioned. Why is it that Latin delegates cannot fathom the possibility than an Asian can beat the crap out of them? The only reason Miss Philippines Anna Theresa Licaros won Miss Photogenic is because of a strong Filipino fan base. Miss China NingNing Zhang won Miss Congeniality because the majority of her peers voted for her. There's no Asian conspiracy behind these prizes. Also, it's a bit presumptuous of Stucan to declare that Miss Universe is "the most important contest" - this coming from someone who placed fourth in Miss Earth 2001, a pageant that has already surpassed Miss Universe in production quality. Stucan has competed in several pageants and has either won or placed decently; unfortunately, Miss Universe was not one of them.

For the information of everyone I started watching Beauty Pageants especially the Miss Universe tilt in 2001 but the year I have become a Fan began in 2004 when Jennifer Hawkins won! in 2005 I discovered this board and joined the bandwagon in posting and predicting The Favorites! (And in that year I began to carve my graphic skills too lol!)

With regards to that, I would like to look back to my past choices and compare how well I do in analyzing and predicting the eventual semifinalists:: Here it goes...

2005

I got 6/15 ---------->Is that bad?



2006

I got 11/20 plus Thailand as one of my alternates!



2007

I got 10/15 -----> I'm quite ecstatic with this record, a sign of big improvement!


I just realized I did better compared to popular pageant related sites like Globalbeauties (which predicted 8/15 and Missosology with 5/15. I am very pleased with the actual turn out of the pageant, it has all the elements that I want to see in a show. I'm so impressed with the production values, excellent choreography, the perfect lighting, the camera panning, and contrary to criticalbeauties' disgust over the stage design, I think it's very innovative and stylish! I have never been this overwhelmed with the Miss Universe Pageant, though I'm not a big Riyo fan (cuz my heart is for Honey Lee) I expect her to be one phenomenal Miss Universe throughout the year!

I'd say great job to the MUO team for putting up a sensational show! It truly scored high points in the ratings game here in my country, with this I would like to congratulate our two giant networks here GMA and ABS-CBN for putting up a blow by blow coverage of the pageant (especially the latter for it's tireless efforts, I love their idea of putting up a Miss Universe pre-pageant special prior to the actual show, seeing former beauty queens especially the beautiful Gloria Diaz on tv added more glamour to my anticipation, it was truly the most beautiful day in the universe)

So that's it!! Clap clap!!

Then maybe you should also do other pageants, like Binibining Pilipinas.

The Hawaiian Tropic International in Las Vegas will be my last. Ha ha ha! I kept on saying before, in other pageants I did: “This will be my last. This will be my last.” But people would ask me to join and they would talk me into it and all that, so I’m like,“Okay, okay.” [But with Binibining Pilipinas], Uh,No. I feel that a pure Filipina girl should win that. I don’t feel worthy enough to win a Title of, uhm, a homegrown pageant.


Yeah, tell us something about your British heritage.

I was born and was raised in England. By blood, my father’s British and my mom’s Filipina. My father died when I was younger so I grew up with just my single Filipino mom. So I kind of consider myself more Filipina because the culture was all there. I grew up eating the food. My mom was from Nueva Ecija so I would hear Ilocano, sometimes Tagalog. When you’re raised by a single parent who is pure Filipino, that’s like the main influence on me.

Why terrific Theresa got lost in the universe
By Giovanni Paolo J. Yazon


AFTER a little over a month of preparation and weeks of anticipation, Anna Theresa Luy Licaros, our bet to this year’s Miss Universe beauty contest, failed to duplicate the feat of Gloria Maria Aspillera Diaz (1969) and Maria Margarita Roxas Moran (1973) last May 29.

The 22-year-old law student and broadcast communications major who graduated summa cum laude at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, along with half-Filipino candidates Kirby Ann Basken of Norway and Angelina Glass of Germany, and 64 other ladies, all entered the backstage gracefully after the parade of nations.

In the end, it was the raven-haired and leggy Riyo Mori, a 20-year-old lifelong ballet dancer, who walked away with the Miss Universe crown, Japan’s second.

But Licaros didn’t go out of the National Auditorium empty handed. She won as Most Photogenic for topping the Internet polls, which now makes her the seventh Filipino to become the delight of press photographers and Web surfers in the pageant’s 56-year history—the other six include Vida Valentina Fernandez Doria (1970), Margie Moran (1973), Aileen Leng Marfori Damiles (18th placer in 1996), Abbygale Williamson Arenas (11th placer in 1997), Gionna Jimenez Cabrera (2005) and Lia Andrea Aquino Ramos (2006).

Are we just contented of seeing our representatives getting the same special award every year? Many noticed that when Licaros accepted her crystal trophy last Tuesday, she seemed to be more disgusted than delighted.
She deserves more than just a 20-second exposure on stage.
Wasted beauty

Licaros is articulate and intelligent. She’s a summa cum laude. So what? Rachel Smith of the United States was just a magna cum laude, but she effortlessly landed on the top 10 and even placed fourth runner-up.

Licaros isn’t the “wrong girl,” it’s just that she was sent out to the battlefield “half baked.” She lacked the global appeal that her fellow Asian candidates—semifinalist Farung Yuthithum of Thailand, finalist Puja Gupta of India, third runner-up Honey Lee of Korea and eventual winner Riyo Mori of Japan—all have.

During the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s, a candidate’s “brain power” is of primary consideration. There were three rounds of interviews: casual, judges’ question, and the final question.

But nowadays, physical beauty is given more emphasis, that’s why the swimsuit and long gown competitions come first. Only the five finalists are given the opportunity to let everyone hear what’s between their ears. To quote host Mario Lopez: “The good news to the other five [who won’t be chosen] is that you don’t have to go through the interviews [anymore].” It goes to show that Miss Universe is still a beauty contest, not a quiz bee or a “battle of the brains.”

Total overhaul needed

Instead of crying over spilled milk, pointing fingers or putting the blame to certain people, the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. should take Licaros’ defeat as a wake-up call. Something must be changed in their system. Here are some suggestions:

Move the national pageant to an earlier date. This will give the winners ample time to prepare for their assignments. This formula has been tried and tested when the country hosted the Miss Universe pageant in May 2004. Madame Stella Marquez de Araneta conducted the 1994 Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant seven months before the prestigious global pageant. The results: Hometown girl Charlene Gonzalez made it as top six finalist and was awarded Best in National Costume; her “batch mates” Alma Concepcion became a semifinalist and Miss Friendship awardee in Miss International, while Caroline Subijano made it to the semis of Miss World. Short time to prepare is like cramming up for a major exam the night before the dreary outcome.

Intensive training

The organizers should asses each titleholders’ strong points and reinforce it. Weak points—inability to express ideas well during interviews, thin hair, large hips, etc.—should be corrected. The option of cosmetic surgery must be left open. They should also require the winners to finish the personality development trainings granted to them, just like the Dale Carnegie course. Miriam Quiambao and Precious Lara Quigaman religiously attended this training. It helped them how to handle pressure and make high impact presentations abroad. Look how far they went at their respective competitions?

Upgrade in wardrobe. Shining, shimmering and fully beaded (and recycled) gowns are definitely out, wispy and weightless fabrics are in (read: function over form). For a change, maybe the organizers can try “local talents” to make the costumes or evening gowns of our representatives—either up-and-coming fashion designers packed with fresh minds and unconventional ideas or the established ones like Inno Sotto or Monique Lhuillier.

Changes don’t happen overnight. But if the organizers would take these suggestions positively and start improving, they will expect a “ripe harvest” in the near future. Having our third Miss Universe, or our first Miss World, is in sight!

OPENING:
Fist of all, the opening was quite slow I think last year was done much much better!! The hosts were just fine, Vanessa Minillo wasn't in her element imho compared to when she hosted Miss Teen USA 2004 but on the other hand Mario Lopez is such an eye candy, very cheerful and gorgeous!


THE SEMI-FINALISTS:
I'm so thrilled to see 10 out of my Top 15 girls in the actual semi-finals! I even screamed when Slovenia was called, gawd she was so stunning! she should have advanced to the top 10 to have a blonde rep and replace India but the latter had the face that was hard to ignore! Nicaragua was another pleasant surprise, I knew it after seeing her in the prelims that she'd make it! and the delight of the evening was the inclusion of 4 Asians in the Top 15, I shouted for joy when Korea was included as well! The biggest shocker of the night was the inclusion of Ukraine but she was great on swimsuit so I forgived her on that! Denmark and Czech Republic were postive surprises! I knew it that if Venezuela were to be called she'll go straight up to the Top 5! The African reps were oozing with sultriness especially Angola, she was on fire! Tanzania, BEautiful! I love her! Brazil wasn't in my list but she was fine! Overall the actual Top 10 was the best, 4 Latinas, 3 Asians, 2 Africans and 1 from North America! Truly diverse! (At least we won't cry for a latin domination anymore)

SWIMSUIT COMPETITION
OMG, this is one of the Best swimsuit competitions ever, I love the RBD group, their music was perfect for the segment! And I love the camera works on this round, reminds me of MU 2003 in Panama! My favorites here; KOREA, JAPAN, SLOVENIA, USA, VENEZUELA and ANGOLA! I think BRAZIL was overscored

EVENING GOWN COMPETITION
The worst music ever! Last year was miles miles better! If the swimsuit Competition was the best, the evening gown segment was a letdown! they should have opted for a more glamorous music!!

SPECIAL AWARDS:
This year has been so predictable about the special awards, First Philippines won the Photogenic award again for the 7th time! I'm happy for my girl although it was quite evident that she was hesitant to accept it! And CHINA was so charming, truly deserving of the Congeniality Award (We all knew it that she'd win this)

And Oh, did they forget to announce the winner of the Best National Costume? or have I just missed it?



CROWNING:
First let me acknowledge how stunning Zuleyka was, she was on fire when she did her final walk, she looked like as if she could top the Evening gown competition! But anyway, The Top 5 was predictable since the scores were posted! At first I thought Brazil would win it all since she obtained high scores in both SS and EG competitions but I was relieved when she ended up 2nd! JAPAN did it again and this time up a notch (This scenario happened in 2005 and 2006 when Cynthia Olavarria ended 1st runner-up and Zuleyka winning it the following year! And now Japan did the same thing) I'm very happy with the results, I'm so stunned that FINALLY an Asian woman gets to keep the Miss Universe crown! I'm very fine with that!

MAD MOMENTS:
*When USA fell onstage and did a Miriam Quiambao stint, oh she was a class act! Poor Rachel she has to endure the pain!

* The Booing Mexicanos, gawd!! They seriously have to learn the value of sportsmanship! Once again my heart goes for Rachel, I'm sure she was saddened by the incident!

* The Exclusion of ITALY, SOUTH AFRICA and GREECE (she's Oleksandra Nikolayenko this year)

* When Korea ended up 3rd runner-up only? huh? if there should be an Asian winner, it should have been her but I love Japan, she made me proud as an Asian!!



Overall it has been a GREAT show! The country of Mexico is so beautiful, it has lots to offer but on the contrary it has the most notorious audience ever! I wonder what's happening outside the Auditorium now, SECURITY plss!!

So this marks the end of the Miss Universe season, what a rollercoaster ride! still can't believe the booing Audience! I can't wait to get a copy of this edition!

KAKALOKA talaga yung Ms. Univ 2007 akalain mo Ms. Japan...
I was really rooting for Ms. Korea but I was really shocked (well not really magaling rumampa si Japan) when the judges called Ms. Brazil as 1st RU....hmmmm I smell something fishy here. Well wala tayong magagawa mga chikadorz talagang politics at filthy business yng Ms. Univ....Trump Blehk!

Napansin kong may pattern..dati 1st RU Puerto Rico then next yr. nakuha na talaga ng Puerto Rico ang korona...and at that time Japan stood as 1st RU then ngayon ginimbal ang buong mundo nung rumampa na ang Ms japan donned with the mikimoto crown...leche!

Yung manok naman ng pinas at least Tere was not left out..at least may kakarampot pang ms. photogenic na napunta sa kanya....kaya people wag nyo na nga siya iboto sa photogenic para makapasok naman tayo sa top 15...

And by the way Ms. Japan do I know you from PDA?!?! just wondering....

You know it's pathetic how some of you are on this forum. First, you hype the Philippine delagate which is beautiful but is obviously not good enough to make the semi finals, you hype about her intelligance which never seems to even matter. Then you bash the other favorites and say how ugly they are. Like the "fake" Venezuela, Brazil, and "fat" Mexico etc but look how far they got. Then someone made some shit up about Miss Japan saying bad things about Miss Philippines (obviously made up) then you bash her but look at her now. She won because she had a great catwalk! They look for energetic, confident, and a good physique. All these things are things that Miss Philippines lacks!

Just stop bashing because I think it's giving us bad Karma. It's pathetic how some of you encourage voting obsessively for Miss Photogenic and we win every year. So embarassing! Even Tere herself looked ashamed!!! Filipinos will never learn. I'm filipino myself so don't think that I'm bashing you guys. Just be nicer and maybe the rest of the world won't hate us!

Filipino pageant fanatics have been so obviously disgusted, not in anyways happy, the way BPCI handles the franchise of Miss Universe, however, you won’t be heard if you keep on complaining to message boards year after year, you have to e-mail directly to BPCI because Stella Araneta and her staff had stopped reading message boards long time ago for its destructive comments.


Please email them directly, and make sure in a constructive manner. Your voices can only be heard if you let them know instead of complaining here.

UNA,TIPID NA TIPID SA WARDROBE ANG MGA CONTESTANTS, WALANG STRATEGY, LAST MINUTE TRAINING, ETC ETC.

ITS HIGH TIME NA NA IPAUBAYA NA NILA ITO SA IBANG NATIONAL INDEPENDENT BEAUTY ORGANIZERS PARA MABIGYAN NG KARAMPATANG PREPARASYON, MGA COSTUMES, WARDROBES, TAMANG TRAINING ANG ATING KANDIDATA. MASYADO NG MONOTONOUS ANG KANILANG APPROACH, WALANG BAGO, OUTDATED AT BLAND.

KUNG BAGA BA SA MENU, PAULIT ULIT NA LANG, WALA NG LASA.

HAYAAN NA SANA NILA NA MAG TEAM WORK ULI ANG BUONG SAMBAYANAN SA GANITONG KLASENG MGA COMPETITIONS, OF WHICH AM SURE MARAMI ANG TUTULONG NA MAGAGALING NA DESIGNERS, MGA MAKE UP ARTISTS AT MGA FASHION EXPERTS, IF GIVEN THE CHANCE.

PLEASE BBPCI, LET IT GO, GIVE OTHERS A CHANCE. GIVE PHILIPPINES A CHANCE TO COMPETE COMPETITIVELY NOT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF JOINING.

I think it is time for us Filipinos to inform our government that Stella Marques Araneta should use our very own designer and trainer, instead of using gowns design by a colombian designer. We have several talented designers in our country. So why not patronize them. Adn there are also qaulified trainers to rtain our reperesentative on proper decorum.

What do you say fellow filipinos?

Maraming pweeng magturo sa kanila in such Melanie Marquez, Gloria Diaz, Geraldine Asis, Miriam Quiambao, etc plus maraming magagaling na designer sa atin , pagsamasamahin ang kanilang idea sa galing sa pagdesign ng trahe at pagpuna sa kandidata ng pagrampa eh tignan ko lang kundi tayo manalo (naala nyo ba yung gown ni Geraldine *pebbles" Asis nag top sya during the competion kasi pinagtulungan ng mga Pinoy designer yon in such Rene Salud, Pitoy Moreno , etc...). Bakit hindi na lang pagsamasamin ang galing ng Pilipinas para naman marecognize na tayo in our very own, kaysa pinadadala pa sa Columbia na wala din namang nangyayari, kahit sarili nilang kandidata eh hindi makapasok tayo pa kaya.Ah Ewan...
Basta alam ko magaling ang Pinoy.. Pinoy Tayo... Sa dami ng baklang pinoy siguro enough na yung signature para pakinggan ng kungsino mang OIC ng Binibini.

MY TOUGHTS about MISS UNIVERSE (pre-thoughts)
Mga ateh, I just love her, its just unfortunate of what happened to Rachel (Miss USA).
She's so GORGEUOUS on stage, only that she tripped but what a recovery! You go girl! Ang galing mo talaga ate! idol kita sa pagrampa next to miss japan! (pero ibang usapan na iyung ayaw ko na manalo itong hitad na riyo na ito! masprefer ko si Ms. Brazil/USA/Korea na manalo! siyempre politics mga ateh!)
MEXICANS ARE REALLY RUDE! I hate them! mga baklang mexicano na to, loser talaga kayo like sa boxing! maghanap na lang kayo ng mga lalaki ninyo bweset!

may mga nagsasabi na COPYCAT daw itong si rachel ni ate meryam...
In fairness to her mga ateh, she has the ORIGINALITY of falling on stage, nung si mirriam e nadulas, PATAGILID at graceful pa rin habang bumabagsak. ang kanya naman PAUPO at PAFORWARD ang mga paa huh! i still dont know kung graceful pa rin ang pagbagsak nya kasi hindi natin gaano nasilip ang mukha nya habang bumabagsak kasi patalikod nga ang pagbagsak ng lola rachel mo. galeng galeng ng ate natin at parang wala lang nung tumayo siya!
in fairness may ORIGINALITY siya talaga mga ateh kaya yung mga bakla na nagsasabi na copycat siya ni mirriam, manigas kayo!! ORIGINAL PA RIN ang ateh rachel ko! love u miss USA! mwah!

Finally, we have witnessed hte Miss Universe 2007. This year proved to be the best year for Asian Candidates. Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Philippines, China made it to semis, it not won special awards. The crown went to Japan!

Again, the Gucci gown prevailed. Remember when Oxana Fedorova won the Miss Universe in Puerto Rico? She won by wearing hte Gucci gown. I don' mean totally that you have to wear Gucci or Versace or those expensive signature gowns to win Miss Universe but if you want to get notice or you want ot surprise everyone, then wear those signature gowns. I have observed that lately, Japanese contestants wore signature gowns just to get noticed. Is it working ot their advantage. The answer is YES. Japanese contestants are not as strong in terms of facial structure compared to their latina counterparts so they compensate it with something daring and most haven't tried that is to spend a lot of money in clothes. It's a strategy that works well and am sure it will be copied in next few years.

In total the Miss Universe 2007 was a good show. The hosts were really good. Kudos to them.

The fifteen semi finalists were all BEAUTIFUL PHYSICALLY.
AS I have said in my previous reviews, Miss Universe is looking for beautiful semi-finalists that are comparable to the current supermodels of today! TO put it bluntly, if you have what it takes to be a Vicoria's Secet angel, then you're in as a semi-finalists. Gone are the days, when they are looking for a more feminine type, they are looking for a more daring and very active contestants. The problem that we have in the Philippines is that we try to believe that a contestant is beautiful even if not. Until this day, we are looking for candidates who are more of a kolehiyala type where we pick them in school, train them with our self made knowledge in beauty 101 then try to believe that she will rock Miss Universe. Dear those ladies are passe already. You can't change a naive girl into a Miss Universe just be overnight. Venezuela and India have produced the most beautiful candidates in a scientific way and has ripened by time. Look, they were trained to walk and how to use make up for months not just a crash course on those things just for several days.

I have nothing against to Tere Licaros. She tried her best
but her best wasn't good enough. She was facing the most competitive batch in terms of physical beauty. Yes, she is intelligent but remember, what strikes the judges first is not your intelligence but your physical beauty. Yes, she can speak but if she is not well trained how to pose properly to hide her flaws then she will not make a good impression. Look at her in hte preliminaries, she was pushing herself to hard to pose so what happened, it's as if she doesn't know how to walk and how to carry a gown.Tere's gown was nice but the problem is she doesn't know how to carry it. Try that gown to Zuleyka or to Gisele Bundchen and that gown will have a life. For example, Ly Jonaitis of Venezuela , her chin is to too pointed but mind you because of her hairstyle, she was able to cover it well. Bb. Pilipinas should try to make a systematized and organized training for our candidates here in hte Philippines and not just by sending them to Colombia for a crash course. I believe we can train our contestants really well here in the Philippines.

I must also say that we don't need anymore to get wardrobes to Colombia next time. Looking at the gowns of the top ten, I can say that our local designers can make those gowns as well. WE have really good designers here in the Philippines, Inno, Randy Ortiz, Rajo Laurel, Louie Claparols, Peralta,Pepsi Herrera and many.

I hope that BB Pilipinas will know their lapses based on the experience of Tere Licaros. I believe that if they sent Maggie Wilson in Miss Universe, she will definitely rock. But then again, her age was a hindrance. I hope she will be handled well by Bb seriously if they really want her to win Miss World because she has what it takes!

Tama ang marami sa inyo na sumasabi noon na si Tere ay hindi karapatdapat Miss Philippines Universe. Tama rin kayong mag-reklamo sa BPCI dahil walang progreso ang kanilang sistema sa pagpili ng tamang kandidata para sa mga pageants. Ang hindi ko talagang maintindihan sa BPCI ay ang kanilang kabobohan o talaga ba silang clueless about pageants?

Tingnan ninyo naman, kahit si Miss India na 5'6 (according to Femina Miss India, pero ginawang 5'7 ng MUO), nakapasok sa top 10 kasi talagang maganda siya. Sa nakikita ko, ang MU ay nagiging parang soft-porn ang dating. Miss Angola ang perfect example--sobra sa seduction sa camera na akala mo maghuhubad siya. Pero ang lahat ng nakapasok ay may sex appeal talaga.

So, kung iyon lang naman, eh bahit hindi pa si Abby Cruz na nga ang pinadala kung siya lang naman ang best in swimsuit?! Ang "in" na ngayon ay ang malaking dyoga! Pag flat-chested ka, wala ka.

Tama na ang mga pa-cute, pa-demure, pa-Maria Clara, pa-summa cum laude. Ang hinahanap naman ay ang woman na may personalidad at character. Kailangan ang babaeng moderna ang dating, may ooomph, may buhay ang kilos at ang aura. No offense so Tere's fans, pero talagang wala akong nakita sa kanya that fits in today's modern sensibilities ng Miss Universe. Kung sino man ang nag-train sa kanya sa BPCI at sa Colombia--mali ang formula ninyong lahat!!!!

Next year, choose a better girl, not based on how articulate she is grammatically, but pero, yung babaeng sexy at magandang korte ng katawan, may personality, maganda ang mukha, at of course, magaling rumampa.

From this year's batch, sana ang pinadala na lang ay si: Sheila Alonzo. She had the best catwalk, IMHO. Hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit siya parating iniignore. Trust me, kung siya ang pinadala, pasok ang Pilipinas sa TOP 15.

The booing incident happend in MU 2007 is simply correlates with the current issue going on here in America particulary in Southern California. Most of the illegal Mexicans are felt so BAD about the incident happend in LA last few weeks ago. In addition to that, I think from my honest opinion, the booing of the Mexican in the concluded pageant was simply indicated that they are also felt hurt and that is also another way to express their feelings and objection about the NEW US Immigration law regarding with the UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL Mexican in the US. That is only my honest opnion and hope you won't get mad at me. PEACE :h)

BetUS.com Makes Out Like Bandits with Miss Universe Bet Offerings
Gamblers from around the globe have descended upon the BetUS.com website this weekend, one of the few online gambling companies offering betting options on Miss Universe.

Preliminary reports suggest that the betting firm has witnessed unprecedented throngs of people enlisting for accounts.

Bets will be taken throughout the afternoon here and be sure to inquire about the Gambling911.com signup bonus

"The demand for Miss Universe betting has been staggering," offered Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of Gambling911.com, which has been aggressively monitoring betting trends on the beauty pageant over the past few days. "Miss Universe strongholds appear to include The Philippines, Australia and the host company of Mexico but we anticipate a surge in traffic from other represented nations as we head into the evening hours."

Gambling911.com's own reporters Jenny Woo and Sparky Collins gave their own synopsis of who the favorites are to win Miss Universe 2007

"I of course am partial to Miss Korea being of partial Korean descent," commented Ms. Woo, who was up early on a Monday for a change. "But overall I am hoping to see a lovely Asian woman win this year."

Philippines readers of Gambling911.com will be happy to know that Anna Theresa Licaros is listed with decent odds of 13 to 1 at BetUS.com, which at the very least gives her a solid chance of making the top 10 cut. The payout would be $1300 for every $100 bet.

Five delegates are each listed with single digit odds. Miss Venezuela at +400 odds or a payout of $400 for every $100 bet (these odds are equivalent to 4 to 1); Miss Brazil at +800 odds; Miss Greece at +800 odds; Miss Korea at +950 (a Jenny Woo favorite) and Miss Nicaragua at +950 odds.

For Gambling911.com's Sparky Collins it is a toss up between Miss Greece and Miss Nicaragua.

Miss Greece wants to be a successful human resources manager in a multicultural company. Who strives for that?" asks Sparky. "She is the one who administers drug testing and fires people. But if Doukissa comes to work every day dressed in that evening gown, I will try to get written warnings from her."

The next shortest odds being offered at BetUS.com are +1350 for which Miss Tanzania, Miss South Africa, Miss Spain and Miss USA each get the honors. Miss India and Miss Mexico each have the same odds as Miss Philippines at +1400 or a $1400 payout for every $100 bet.

"Very few companies are offering betting odds on Miss Universe 2007," O'Brien acknowledges. "BetUS.com is among the major beneficiaries of this latest phenomenon."

My Top 15 Picks for Miss Universe 2007

This year's batch has no clear front runner, which makes this group [the] most competitive since Botswana's Mpule Kwelagobe won the crown in 1999. Lara Dutta (MU 2000) and the subsequent winners (Denyse Q., Oxana F., Amelia V., Jennifer H., Natalie G, and Zuleyka R.) were clear front runners of their respective batches even before the delegates started arriving at the venues. This year is different...and exciting! With only a few hours before the coronation, there is still no [clear] front runner. Different delegates excel in different aspects of the competition - KOREA, IMO, gave the most impressive video closeup interview; THAILAND was superior to other delegates in the preliminary evening gown competition, and USA (or VENEZUELA) bested 76 delegates in the preliminary swimsuit competition.

I also think that the Asian delegates this year are the strongest since 1988, when 4 out of 5 finalists came from Asia. It wouldn't surprise me if up to 6 Asians (Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, and India) make the semifinal cut tonight. Our very own Tere has a reasonable chance of penetrating the winners' circle. I hope and pray that she comes home to a motorcade parade welcome to celebrate her victory.

So much for that...here are my picks for top 15 for MU '07.

Top 5

Korea – Great communication skills, one of the 5 best performances in the preliminary evening gown and swimsuit competitions IMO.

Thailand – Best in evening gown. She is such a standout that even Ray Charles would have noticed her from a mile. She will be a close second to Miss Korea. But it wouldn’t break my heart if she wins the crown.

Venezuela – Very well packaged. Best Venezuelan representative since Verushka Ramirez (1998).

USA – Best in swimsuit.

Guatemala – Very articulate and sexy.

Top 10

Bolivia – I think she has the most beautiful face this year.

Italy – [The] best body in this competition.

Japan – One of the best performances in the swimsuit competition.

Panama - One of the best packaged delegates this year. Very articulate.

Philippines – Great interview skills, charming on camera, and competitive swimsuit performance. She looked beautiful in her evening gown, but the dress failed to showcase her figure and grace.

Top 15

Dominican Republic – I really do not like her. But it is impossible to ignore her performance during the preliminaries. I do not understand Spanish, but she looked confident and charming throughout the entire video close-up.

Greece – A delegate from Europe has to be in the top 15 and I think Miss Greece is the best representative from that continent this year.

Indonesia – She stands out even in a one-piece swimsuit. Her performance during the evening gown competition is one of the best.

Angola [or] Tanzania – Since Donald Trump purchased MUO, there has always been at least one delegate from each continent in the top 10, 15, or 20. I’d be more pleased if Miss Tanzania makes it to the semifinal round, but Miss Angola, in my opinion, gave a better overall performance.

Nicaragua [or] Peru – Nothing special about these two delegates but I need to come up with a fifteenth delegate to complete the list. I would like to see Miss Peru make it to the semifinal round, but Miss Nicaragua gave a better overall impression.

Please allow me to join the rest of you
in wishing Ana Teresa Licaros the best of luck.

MISS UNIVERSE 2007

5/25/07:

What is the planefield system?:

Similar to the Starting Grid system of Global Beauties, Pageant Beauties launches the planefield system. Inspired from an airplane, the delegates will be categorized into
At Home: Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Sweden, and United Kingdom

Comments: Miss Estonia is one of the tallest delegates this year. She is a stunning beauty. She could return Estonia to the semifinals after 2000. Miss Norway and Switzerland are also stunners to make the cut. Five nations withdrawed from this group this year.

Meet the delegates from Southern Europe:

First Class: Greece, Spain, and Slovenia

Business Class: Serbia and Italy

Economy Class: Albania and Montenegro

Bordering Now: Lebanon, Slovak Republic, and Hungary

Waiting List: Bulgaria, Croatia, and Georgia

At Home: Turkey

Comments: Misses Greece, Spain, and Slovenia stand out the most. Spain and Greece has a big chance of placing in the top 15 this year. Miss Slovenia can easily become her country's first semifinalist.

Meet the delegates from Africa:

First Class: Tanzania, Angola, and South Africa

Business Class: Nigeria

Economy Class: Egypt and Zambia

Bordering Now: Mauritius

Waiting List:

At Home: Ethiopia, Ghana, and Namibia

Comments: In this short Africa group, Tanzania and Angola are the big favorites. Tanzania should easily make the cut and become the first semifinalist from her country. South Africa is also a big alternate. despite Ethiopia being a semifinalist last year, they withdrawed this year.

Meet the delegates from North and Central America:

First Class: USA, Mexico, Canada

Business Class: Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama

Economy Class: Honduras and Costa Rica

Bordering Now: None

Waiting List: Belize and El Salvador

At Home: None

Comments: Miss USA, Rachel Smith and Miss Mexico, Rosa Maria Ojeda are the clear powerhouses of this group. Rachel has the height, figure, and style. Rosa has poise and confidence as the Mexicans root for her in the audience. The host delegate usually makes it and the Miss Universe Organization wouldn't want the booing to happen 14 years later. Though Miss Canada was not my favorite to win the Miss Universe Canada title she has potential to make the top 15.

Meet the delegates from South America:

First Class: Venezuela, Brazil, and Paraguay

Business Class: Colombia, Argentina, and Ecuador

Economy Class: Peru and Bolivia

Bordering Now: Guyana

Waiting List: Uruguay

Comments: South America is a strong group this year. Venezuela's Ly Jonaitis is the big favorite to win by many webmasters and betmakers. She can easily become the 5th Miss Venezuela to win Miss Universe. Brazil is the winner of this year's Top Model Of The World contest and could easily make the cut. Paraguay is also a favorite to make the semifinals like how her presuccessor did last year.

Meet the delegates from Caribbean:

First Class: Jamaica and Dominican Republic

Business Class: Curacao and Puerto Rico

Economy Class: Barbados and Bahamas

Bordering Now: St. Lucia, US Virgin Islands, and Aruba

Waiting List: Antigua and Barbuda and Turks and Caicos

At Home: Cayman Islands, Northern Marianas, St. Martin, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago

Comments: This group is one of the weakest groups this year. Miss Jamaica is the only favorite to make it. However, Miss Puerto Rico, Uma Blasini could make it due to her stage presence and height.

The planefield will be updated tomorrow. However this time, the seven groups will join together to form the planefield. Stay tuned!

Subject: A NATIONAL OR GLOBAL BEAUTY QUEEN IS INDEED A REAL QUEEN, A SOCIAL QUEEN!

A critic and detractor said that a beauty contest / pageant winner and titlist or title holder is not a queen.

Well, what and how would you call a woman who is formally crowned (wears an official crown), bestowed an official scepter, and conferred an official title in a formal process (of election) through a national or international contest / competition which is also a stage presentation, a pageant, and a TV program / show in one?

She is not just an ordinary, mere beauty but she is A BEAUTY QUEEN! A DIFFERENT KIND OF QUEEN! She is not a political queen like a nation-kingdom queen (monarch / royalty). She is not political. But A BEAUTY QUEEN is A SOCIAL QUEEN who functions as a national or international ambassador of goodwill and amity (as well as tourism), a national / international role model, environmental advocate, philanthropist, a humanitarian, etc.

But in the global scene or in GLOBAL SOCIAL STANDING, compared to a monarch or royalty (kingdom queen or king) and their counterparts (first lady, president or prime minister), the elected queens in the Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss International major, prestigious, global competitions are REAL GLOBAL QUEENS (real global persons). Kingdom queens and heads of states are NOT. The country U.S.A. may be powerful because of its strong, huge economy and military might, and can meddle and intervene in international conflicts, but its leader's title, position, and designation as "U.S.A. President" or "President of the United States" are NOT for the entire world but for his country ONLY. He is not "President of the World" or "World President" for there is none. But the prestigious crown, title, position, and designation of a world or global beauty queen are of and for the entire / whole world!

The election and coronation of a monarch / kingdom queen is only an internal affairs or event of a nation-kingdom (even if it is well-hyped through print and broadcast media internationally), while the election and coronation of a world beauty queen (Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss International) is GLOBAL, involving so many nations of all continents of the entire planet, and watched / witnessed on TV live at the same time by more than 2 BILLION people worldwide!!

A world beauty queen is a global queen while a nation-kingdom queen (monarch or royalty) is NOT. Though a world beauty queen reigns for only a year, the extent or scope of her reign and queenship covers the entire / whole world, global and worldwide (indeed, she is a global queen); while the (political) reign of a kingdom queen or monarch / royalty is LIMITED to her nation-kingdom or countries-colonies only.
