Nina Ricci Alagao during the evening gown pre-taping... Another of those dreaded Bb. Pilipinas Boutique gowns... She should have worn any of her Barrazas instead...

I could not believe it! Kung akala ko panget yung gold Barazza gown ni Nina, mas panget ito! Hideous! Sana pinayagan na lang siyang suotin yung mga gawa ni Peter Lim!

I love Natascha without a doubt, but I feel that she is much prettier as Miss Yaracuy than Miss Deutschland.

JENSIE_G: Did Natascha make the cut in the Miss Venezuela Pageant?

[JENSIE_G]

Apostle >> Yeah ang panget nga! YIKES! Sana nga si Peter Lim na lang gumawa ng gown niya... or even Nina Ricci herself!

Nope, Natascha did not make it to the Top 10 of MV2000. Worse, she did not win any special award at all...

MISS VENEZUELA TRIVIA :)

DISTRITO FEDERAL (now known as Distrito Capital) is the state with the most number of Miss Venezuela winners since the pageant began in 1952.

It has 7 winners:

1956- Blanquita Heredia Osio
1957- Consuelo Leticia Nouel Gomez
1960- Gladys Laly Ascanio Arredondo
1961- Ana Griselda Vegas
1965- Maria Auxiliadora De Las Casas McGill
1968- Peggy Kopp Arenas
2001- Cinthia Cristina Lander Zamora*

*NOTE: In the year 2000, the name Distrito Federal was changed to DISTRITO CAPITAL. They are one and the same.

MIRANDA is the most successful state in the pageant, having produced 1 Miss Universe, 2 Miss Worlds, and 1 Miss International.

Venezuela's 4 Miss Universe winners:

VARGAS- Maritza Sayalero Fernandez (1979)
MIRANDA- Irene Laillin Saez Conde (1981)
TRUJILLO- Barbara Palacios Teyde Perez Hernandez (1986)
YARACUY- Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo (1996)

Venezuela's 5 Miss World winners:

MIRANDA- Carmen Susana Duijm Zubillaga (1955)
ARAGUA- Carmen Josefina Pilin Leon Crespo (1981)
MIRANDA- Astrid Carolina Herrera Irrazabal (1984)
ZULIA- Ninibeth Beatriz Jimenez Leal (1991)
NUEVA ESPARTA- Jacqueline Maria Aguilera Marcano (1995)

Venezuela's 3 Miss International winners:

MONAGAS- Alejandrina Nina Sicilia Hernandez (1985)
MIRANDA- Consuelo Adler Hernandez (1997)
COSTA ORIENTAL- Vivian Ines Urdaneta Rincon (2000)

There are 3 ladies who were not crowned Miss Venezuela but went on to represent their country in Miss Universe:

1976- Miss Guarico Elluz Comoroto Peraza Gonzales was originally crowned Miss Venezuela 1976. However, she gave up the crown days later all in the name of love. She got married that same year. The first runner-up, Miss Nueva Esparta Judith Josefina Castillo Urribe, went to Kowloon, Hong Kong and placed second over-all to Israel's Rina Messinger.

1991- Jackeline Rodríguez of Miranda was hand-chosen by Organizacion Miss Venezuela president Osmel Sousa to go to Las Vegas, Nevada for MU91. MV's pageant date was pushed back from March to September, necessitating a delegate for MU91. Starting with the 1991 pageant, MV winners went to MU in May of the following year,while the Miss World Venezuela winner continued to go to MW on the same year.

Jackeline settled for the Final 6, losing to Mexico's Guadalupe "Lupita" Jones.

2000- Miss Miranda Martina Thorogood Heemsen was scheduled to compete in Nicosia, Cyprus for MU2000. Unfortunately, Donald Trump refused her entry because of her 1st runner-up placing in MW99. This achievement will certainly provide Martina an unfair edge over the other MU2000 contestants. Osmel then had to come up with a "small" pageant to select the country's bet for MU2000. It was called Miss Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela. Only 10 "hand-chosen" entrants competed in this pageant and Claudia Cristina Moreno Gonzalez of the Distrito Capital state won it by a landslide.

Claudia almost won her country's 5th MU crown when she placed 2nd over-all to India's Lara Dutta.

Take note, the Miss International pageant was held in Japan non-stop from 1966-2001... Japan never won the title... Let's all see if Hawaii will break the dry spell for this nation come October...

The way i see it, the thing that will contribute to the fall of the superpowers i.e. India, Venezuela, USA is them being so pageant patty!!!! Miss Universe have totally changed it's standards of it's winners and they no longer look for "I believe yada yada save the world and poverty" kind of miss. That's clear with Oxana's win, even Denise's!! India and Venezuela may enter the top ten consistently but seing them clinching the crown with their current formula might be a little hard. That's why we should start to formulate our own style of training and using the MUO standards as guidelines and not consistently trying to pattern those of the Latinas. But then again were talking about BPCI here so we could only hope so much hehe!!

[JENSIE_G]

sebastian01 >> No problem! *okay*

Hehe! Ubos na adjectives ko to describe Eva. Nasabi ko na lahat... Yeah she studies in the US-- sa Seattle ata coz andun bro niya! Si Martina ay sa Florida naka-base. Si Cynthia din tumira sa US-- I just dunno where...

cathybee >> Yeah totally true! *okay*

Pero Celina was the exact opposite! Ang slim niya! Ang sexy! To think she even beat Eva in the swimsuit competition...

Sana lang, in actual presentation, she'll retain that wow look! Tagal pa kase eh... Si Eva looks old for her age din d ba? Akala ko nga she's around 20 something na but goodness, she's only 19 but she looks every inch a woman... a very mature one! :D

It's true naman eh... mas maganda nga yung runners-up ni Cinthia kesa sa kanya... and yeah, kamukha nga ni Denise si Aura! *okay*

[Lara_D]

http://surelax.metropoliglobal.com/modelos/mdv/lugo01.jpg

She already joined Miss Venezuela. The trend in Venezuela is, once you've joined, that's it - no more second chances. That's why a lot of Venezolanas are going to other Latin American countries and try their luck there. Except for Natasha, she went to Germany. hehehe

[Lara_D]

Well it's about time, when Denise won, agad agad nagsulputan ang mga official Miss U Portraits niya, and it did not finish there. Weeks before giving up her crown she was given another make over pa, they dyed her hair. Agbani looks ravishing but still it looks a tad plain compared to the Miss Universe portrait shots- classy and ala super model ang dating.

cathybee, more shots of Aura... :)

During the Q&A portion of Miss Venezuela 2001...
http://www.tvchismes.com/imagenes/missburrezuela/preguntas/contar.jpg http://www.tvchismes.com/imagenes/missburrezuela/preguntas/modas.jpg

*okay*

[Lara_D]

I was just wondering what kind of make over would Osmel give Aura, if she won Miss Venezuela?

My bet for Miss San Juan is Cynthia Olavarria, but we have to see the other girls competing for Miss Puerto Rico. They would be really be out for a vengeance next year.

[JENSIE_G]

Lara_D >> Oo nga eh. I was also wonderin' what type of makeover Aura will get... Siguradong mas stunning kesa kay Cynthia!!! *okay*

Cynthia Olavarria is my bet too... at least at this moment... :up:

[cathybee]

Agbani looks like an Egyptian beauty in the era of Cleopatra there...at nagiging kamukha na nya si Naomi Campbell dyan :eek: I think that is a better shot rather than the earlier ones---*** sugary spicy getup na nagmukha syang teenbooper! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the pix of Aura! *okay* Ang kapal talaga makeup nya sa interview portion...talagang buong pack ng foundation ang nilalagay nila sa mukha eh! :rotfl:

[JENSIE_G]

cathybee >> Yup I agree! Unti-unting nagiging Naomi si Agbani! Close naman sila eh. Coz they modeled together in Barcelona last year during the DIESEL Frock N' Roll Show... Kasali din dun sina Miss South Africa Jo Ann Strauss, Miss Botswana Masego Sebedi and Miss Zimbabwe Tsungai Muswerakuend...

Naku, if only Nigeria could send a delegate as stunning as Agbani in that shot, they would surely win!!!! *okay*

Good Luck to Miss Nigeria Chinenye Ochuba in Miss World 2002! The whole world is yours!!! Hehe!!

Regarding Aura naman, maganda kasi facial features niya eh. Kaya we can't blame the MVO stylists kung pinag-pistahan nila mukha niya ng make-up. Hehe! Ang ganda niya!!!! *okay*

[cmars2]

Wow you've got GREAT pics here!
:handsdown:

[JENSIE_G]

cmars2 >> Hi there! :wave: Thanks!

I remember you postin here in the thread nun bago pa siya November last year... Musta na? :)

[heyderguy]

stop na yung pictures ni EVA...........please stop na.......

STOP HOLDING BACK AND LET THEM FLOOD THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heheheh!

thank you very much to the very cool person who was so generous and nice in sharing her pics...........

MAJOR WWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

ang ganda nya.....

yun lang......

di naman ako parang sira 'no......

mas lalo akong nabuhayan ng loob when I learned that she's just 19......LIKE DUH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! as if may pag-asa ako............ASA KA PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dun sa runner ups ni cinthia....., yup, mas may magaganda nga sa kanya pero, you have to admit it...., she was good during the MU....good lang kasi si Miss Russia ang nanalo eh......if you watched her closely, she appeared so relaxed kasi she knew she would be IN...., one way or the other....she and Miss China lang yung ibang magwave sa crowd, pansin nyo?! si Miss China, wave ng parang bata.....first timer kasi eh......si cinthia naman, she had this confident wave na parang pitik lang.....gets?! yung iba, very generic beauty queen ang dating....lalo na si miss south africa.....ayun....talo kasi she tried too hard.....well, back to cinthia, you have to admit it also when her make-over pics came out, everyone was like bowing to OSMEL SOUSA........

btw, ba't nga pala na negative press si eva?! was it because she was thought of as being snooty and snobbish?!

OH WELL, LIKE KO PA RIN SHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ingat and god bless sa lahat!!!!!!!!!!!

[JENSIE_G]

heyderguy >> Hi there! :wave:

I'm glad you're enjoying Eva's pics. Kakaiba talaga si Eva... She is the Miss Venezuela with the best catwalk skills ever! Watch the MU2001 tape again if you aren't convinced. She has these moves and "turns" which only a supermodel can execute. Kudos to Osmel for bringing the best out of his queens every year... Walang patid yan! Venezuela is always assured of a slot in the Top 5 no matter what!

Congrats! You were very observant during MU2002! Cynthia and Zhuo indeed have these unique styles of waving. Laugh trip yung kay Zhuo-- she's obviously excited. Yung kay Cynthia naman super polished... yeah, she's relaxed coz alam na naman niyang assured na siya of a slot in the Top 5... Regarding Vanessa naman, I believe she was too overconfident... This overconfidence ate her up during the latter part of the competition...

Regarding the negative publicity Eva received in Puerto Rico last May, wala yun. Inggit lang yung mga detractors niya. According to Zorah, Eva was a very kind and cool person... May malasakit sa fellow delegate niya... Zorah had a chance to spend lots of time with Eva when they trained and prepared for the pageant at Osmel's beauty queen boot camp in El Rosal, Caracas.

*okay*

[soulthird]

gawa na tayo ng Eva Ekvall fans club.... in my opinion she looks very different from the other Miss Venezuelas... she looks stunning... very stunning.

Jensie,
Eva's father is American not Swedish. Saka yung swimsuit shot niya sa Presentation show, nahalata ko ang dami niyang red spots... and look at her hand, medyo red, must have been ang lamig ng aircon sa Bayamon hehehe. Tama nga di na natatanggal ang mga stretch marks, even a Miss Venezuela couldn't be spared. Walang nagawa si Osmel.

What a way to start my morning!! Hehe!!! Like you said Jensie, I ran out of adjectives to describe this fine lady myself!!!!

[Lara_D]

I was able to get hold of Miss Universe 1989 and 1990 tapes, thanks to a pageant tape collector from the US. And here is what I found out:

*Greenland, Gibraltar, and even Haiti was still around that time
*Prior to earlier reports, the Dutch girls started using the "Netherlands" sash only in 1991 and not 1990. "Holland" pa ang gamit nila nung 1990.
*the most boring Parade of Nations was in 1990 when the girls told something about themselves, like this for instance, "I'm a model blah blah and I'm hoping to become blah blah, my name is Mona Grudt." Very boring isn't it? Not the usual greeting in your native tongue and shouting your country out loud. It was only in 1991 when they started the oh so familiar Parade of Nations where people had grown to love, "Hola, blah blah, from Venezuela!!" - something like that. And we all know it lasted til 1997 lang. I liked the Parade of Nations this year compared to 1990.
*If ever Latvia would send a delegate to Miss Universe, technically it won't be their first time in Miss U. Miss Soviet Union 1990 was from Latvia.
*The European girls still wore very traditional costumes from their native lands. Unlike now na puro fancy dresses.
*Eastern Europe was seperated from Europe during the Parade of Nations.
*Iceland and Greenland where included in the North America group in 1989.

[JENSIE_G]

Lara_D >> Hi there! Like I told you before, I also have a copy of Miss Universe 1989. :)

-Aside from Gibraltar, Greenland and Haiti; Austria and Luxembourg were also present during MU89. Saka Great Britain was represented by England, Scotland and Wales... Hiwa-hiwalay pa siya... Hehe!

-Miss Mexico Adrianna Abascal wore this funky black "Speedy Gonzales" national costume! Miss ko na yun! I hope the Mexican delegate wears it again next year in Panama!

-Miss Puerto Rico Catalina Villar and Miss Switzerland Karen Bergee were both stunners! They should have been in the Top 10.

-Juliette Powell is the 1st and only woman of color to represent Canada in the Miss Universe pageant.

-In my opinion, MU89 production was the best during the 80's.

Lara, di ba nung Miss Universe 1990, the Top 10 delegates were called wearing their national costumes?

-At 5'11", Gem Padilla is the tallest rep we ever sent to Miss Universe. She ranked 12th overall during MU90.

Hey everyone and Peace to Lara. Actually Aura was my bet for MV 2001. Thought she really had the complete package. With regards to Agbani, i recall a friend and I were talking and one of us quoted as saying that Agbani will be a supermodel after. And i think she has what it takes to be one. Also Agbani has what it take to succede in life. She's a very intelligent girl and very humble in my opinion. And very sincere.

Imagine if all the original three Binibinis were sent to their respective competitions!!! Do you think we could have had a grandslam??? I have no doubts if Lalaine was sent to Miss International she would have made waves back there. Janelle too but Miriam with the unpredictability of Miss World.. What you guys think?? I think it was fate the Miriam was sent to Miss Universe coz mas may chance siya

Wait, im a little confused, was Claudia's pageant different from the other Miss Venezuela pageants, coz i saw her wearing a different Miss Venezuela sash with a different crown from that of the rest of the Miss Venezuelas. Can anyone offer some clarity??

Yes. Because in the 1999 pageant, Martina Thorogood won that year. She was to compete in both Miss World and Universe (this was a wrong move on Osmel's part). Martina won 1st runner up in Miss World, so Miss Universe barred Martina from joining. So Osmel had no choice but to have a another pageant to select their Rep for Miss Universe 2000. So yun, Miss República Bolivariana de Venezuela was formed and Claudia Moreno won that time na. So in a way si Claudia yung parang tinuring na real Miss Venezuela rather than Martina, because we all know that Venezuela prioritize Miss U over Miss W. It was Claudia not Martina who crowned Eva Ekvall.

[Musique]

I forgot to ask pala if meron kayong pictures of Iva Lamarao in her Tadaschi opening number dress. And kung pwede hi-res.

Hehe, sana Miss Earth will ask her to represent Portugal this year ano. Alam ko last year, nagkaroon ata ng petition for Telma Santos to represent Portugal at miss Earth. Well, as we all know, wala ding nangyari.


:bow:

[JENSIE_G]

sebastian01 >> In addition to Lara's post regarding the Miss Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela 2000 pageant, only 10 hand-chosen supermodels competed for the title...

Unfortunately I couldn't provide you with her name coz I don't understand Greek. ;)

[Lara_D]

Jensie,
The 10 hand chosen Venezolanas that competed in Miss R.B. de Venezuela 2000 were not just super models but they were also former Miss Venezuela candidates from both 1999 and 1998.

[JENSIE_G]

sebastian01 >> If the 3 Bb. Pilipinas '99 beauties were originally sent to their respective pageants, I strongly believe only Lalaine would make it... A shady future lies ahead of Janelle and Miriam in Miss Universe and Miss World respectively...

[JENSIE_G]

Lara_D >> Yeah true! Sorry I forgot to add that. Take for instance Johanna Grimaldo... she competed together with Carolina Indriago during Miss Venezuela 1998... *okay*

[Carlene]

Hay! Palapit na ang Miss International, of course my Miss Earth, and Miss World...at oo ng a pala Miss Asia Pacific...

Well, in one of the interviews posted by Gerry_D of Mabuhay beauties, Miss Alzar said that sa pageant na sinalihan niya, modelling was the prime touch of the event and ginawa niya ang best niya na makaadapt dito sa sistemang ito.

That is true.

Reply nga nung Johnny_Quest was that ganun din naman daw sa pageants ng Miss World, but well, naniniwala ako na totoo ito. Pero, nakikita ko na dapat supermodel with brains ka sa event na ito. Look ha, si Jacqueline Aguilera na nga lang di ba nanalo sa Miss World nung 1995 pero Top Model of the World winner ata siya nung 1993 o 1994 (please help). Sa local winners naman, look at those who clicked ... Ruffa Gutierrez who participated in Look of the Year in 1992 (now Elite Model Look) and Cara Subijano who won Supermodel Philippines 1991.

E paano naman sa Miss Universe?

Well, since Trump is in position hanap niya rin ang ganung standards subalit ang iba lang dito e dapat "refreshing" ang beauty mo...Take note of the winners and semifinalists like ...
Oxana Federova, Denise Quiñones, Evelina Papantoniou, Ling Zhuo, Wendy Fitzwilliam, Joyce Giraud, Verna Vasquez, etc. etc. etc. At PANG SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ang katawan gaya ni Miriam Quiambao. Too bad nga she lost sa Best in Swimsuit sa Binibini pa lang tapos nag second siya sa ranking sa swimsuit tied with Sonia Raciti.

Sa Miss International???

Iisa lang naman ang mga mukha ng nananalo dito kasi. More of bilugan pero pretty as in the winners nung 1990 up to present. Si Consuelo Adler lang siguro ang nagmukhang barbie doll pero talagang pretty siya.

Sa Miss Earth????

Well, Carousel kasi is changing its standard to a European one. Kaya nga pinapayat nila ng husto ako to be fit for the competition. It was tough luck nga for Catharina Svenson of Denmark to win the crown kasi isa siya sa pinakamatangkad. I was rooting for Evelin Mikomagi who was a semi-finalist in the Miss Universe 2000 to be in the top 4, and Shamita Singha. Too bad!!!

In general, I believe that the Philippine Pageant organizers should start changing their standards. Mahirap kasi yung naka-stick tayo sa constant look. For example, when Miss Quiambao won 1st Runner Up, everyone even up to the baranggay pageant keep on rooting for that look up to the present. Nakakainis kasi dahil nagbabago bago naman ang trend sa pagpili ng girl kaya maghanap talaga tayo ng okay.

Pangalawa, Philippine Pageants are becoming a declamation contest than a pageant itself. How are the winners adjudged? First, sa haba ng sagot. Second, sa laman ng sagot. Last, kung English ang sagot. nakakatawa nga kasi ayaw nating magkaroon ng interpreter dahil naniniwala tayo na dapat mag-English para manalo. Hay!!!! Kaya tignan ang nangyari nung Binibini 2001.
E ang kailangan naman dito sa ganitong competition ay yaong marunong kang humarap sa tao at marunong kang makipagtalastasan. You have to be able to share your thoughts and views but not to the extent na yun ang magiging basis for winning.

Lastly, favored to win...by the organizers! Alam ko na ganito ang sistema sa atin. I heard from a friend that in BPCI, Pitoy Moreno gets her "pets" to vie and makes sure that she wins a crown...
I think its okay kung okay talaga ang kandidata. Too bad naman kung hindi. Pero I believe na sana magpascreen sila ng delegada pero huwag nilang ipagdildilan ang kandidata nila to win kasi its very, very UNETHICAL.

We belong to a pageant-crazy nation like the latinas but who says we should not change our standards .

<PS... PowerBubbles, easy lang talaga. I know very intellectual ka and you know a lot pero sana huwag mo naman lagi-lagiin ang pang-cocorrect kasi tao lrin tayong nagkakamali!!! Ü>

Jensie_G and Lara_D thanx again!!!:rolleyes:

Thanks Lara and Jensie for the answers. I dont know if its just me or does Claudia seems to look a lot like Jaime Lee Curtis. Also, She is one of the few Miss Venezuela with a warm personality along with Carolina Indriago.

Carlene >> Hi there! :wave: Thanks for droppin' by! :)

Thank you so much for your insights! I agree! Iba na ang mga beauty pageants nowadays. Everyone is going for the simple yet classy and refreshing look! Gone were those days when politically-correct beauties with thick layers of make-up would take center stage and shine.

Aside from the difficult task of preparing our girls intellectually, mentually and spiritually, we should never ignore their physical preparations and training. Take for instance the Miss Universe pageant, where the interview competition have been scrapped off from the semi-final round... MUO really wants to "sift" thtrough the Top 10... *okay*

Jensie wasn't all Miss R.B Venezuela 2000 selected from past Miss Venezuela pageants? I can only recall Jhoanna Grimaldo in 1998, Kerellys Ollarves, Miss Costa Oriental in 1996, Laura and Claudia in 1999, Sandra Buseth in 1997. When did the other girls vied for Miss Venezuela? I really liked Jhoanna Grimaldo. I think she should've been in the top 3.

[Carlene]

My pleasure Jensie_G. Pero dun sa isangpost mo about the 1999 batch of beauties...well, I think hindi rin. Siguro with her (Ms Quiambao's) training in Venezuela tapos may supermodel features naman siya she could make it. Lalaine should have been a good rep for Miss International kasi yung features na yun ang talagang bebenta e.

By the way, heavy preparations ang ginagawa nina Tita Lorraine (Schuck) about the pageant. Let's pray na lang for April. Ü

Jensie, I think it's high time for us to contact Joey Espino para nang sa ganun makalaban next year si VernaLynn Buckley. She has all the good credentials to help her land in the Top 10. Ang ganda niya sa Mega Magazine. She represented the Philippines in Asian Faces Search in HK and was adjudged 2nd runner up. She is now representing th Philippines in the Shanghai Modelling Search with Marjay Ramirez. Plus, she competed in Supermodel of the World Philippines 1999. Palaban ito for Miss Universe!!!

Also, I recommend JP Abinuman for Miss International kasi kakaiba siya. Kung may alternate siguro si Grace Coloso.

For Miss World, I'm sure Joey Espino wouldn't mind letting her alaga Gayle Apelario Ong to compete for it. She also competed in the Supermodel of the World in 2001.

Ang daming possible candidates din gaya ni Justine Gabionza, Honeylet Gascon, Merriam Santiago, Gina Ritter. Secret girl Val de los Santos.

Plus I would like to add, change the sponsor na rin (kundi kami ang gagawa sa Carousel .... yuck as if papayag si Tita Lorraine!Ü) from Unilever to P&G.

Well, see ya all again.

Another Miss Venzuela that I think that has a warm pesonality was Miss Venezuela 1997 Veruska Remirez

[sebastian01]

With Oxana's win and the exclusion of pre-pageant favorites who was dubbed to be well prepared i.e. COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and PUERTO RICO, I couldnt help but wonder, does long preparation really benefit anymore or is it about being in the right place and the right time??? I think Miss Universe 2002 changed the pageant forever. Clearly the Organization or should I say Donald Trump is looking for girls who are "super model-ish" type. In our local pageant scene however, we are still seemed to be stucked with Miriam's wave, just like what Carlene said, even the barangay pageants still sport that "Miriam Pose" So is it suffice to say that BPCI should hand over the franchise to the Elite modeling agency and have them stage the pageant for Miss Universe??? What do you guys think?

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Yup, correct. Aside from being former MV contestants, they were also supermodels from various modeling agencies scattered all over Caracas...

Here's the Top 10 again and the pageant they previously joined...

1. Daniela Mateu- Miss Monagas during MV95
2. Maria Alejandra Marquez- Miss Miranda during MV97
3. Claudia La Gatta- Miss Barinas during MV97
4. Johanna Grimaldo- Miss Tachira during MV98
5. Angie Perez- Miss Barinas during MV98
6. Susan Buseth- Miss Yaracuy during MV97
7. Hildeghard Gehrenbeck- Miss Merida during mV96
8. Claudia Moreno- Miss Distrito Capital during MV99
9. Maria Laura Lugo- Miss Costa Oriental during MV99
10. Karellys Ollarves- Miss Costa Oriental during MV96

Hi there Carlene, wow i cant believe a Beauty Queen actually comes here and post along with the fans. Anyways, i would just like to ask you a favor if you dont mind, Since you have a contact with Carousel and Ms Shuck, can you advise her to make the pageant even more grand this year and consider some of the pageant fans' suggestion such as the toning down of the huge sash and a new design of crown. Theres a lot of good suggestions at the Mabuhay MB and i think they are all good intention to better the pageant even more. I really believe that Miss Earth could be at par with Miss World and Miss Universe!!!

[JENSIE_G]

Carlene >> Hi again! :wave:

Yeah, Miriam was an exception. She was really destined to put our country back into the world map by making it big on the global stage of the Miss Universe pageant... :)

Yeah, Verns Buckley is a superb choice! This girl was modeled everywhere... With a solid foundation and a good background in modeling, Verns could easily rival even those from the Europe and Latin and South America... Good choice, Carlene! *okay*

JP Abinuman joined Bb. Pilipinas 1999. Unfortunately she did not make it to the Top 10. Worse, she didn't win any special award at all. However, she's only 21... still young and fresh to give Bb. Pilipinas another try.

Thanks again! :)

Lara_D >> Yeah I agree... Veruska kasi seemed so cariñosa... She was very emotional too...

sebastian01 >> It's more of a "being-at-the-right-place-at-the-right-time" thingie... Remember Miriam, she only had a month to prepare for MU99 but look what happened to her... She narrowly missed the crown just because of an unimpressive answer during the Final Q&A...

Your idea sounds good... Unless BPCI "re-invents" itself soon, our chances to make it big in the international arena will forever be slim...

Sorry I might not be able to post the whole day today coz I will be in Makati for a family reunion. Bawi na lang ako pagdating namin this afternoon or evening... *okay*

[maniacal]

Musique >>
Oo nga! I remember na may petition to let Telma Santos represent Potugal. Pero, wala rin nga. I hope din, like you na Iva Lamarao will be asked to represent Portugal in Miss Earth-2002. I'm sure Filipinos will go ga-ga over her.

Sana rin super madaming countries ang sumali, like Scotland and Wales, since England is joining. I hope Miss U and Miss W pageant powerhouses should take Miss Earth seriously by sending stunning reps. Ano kaya kung ipadala si Demetra to represent Cyprus and even Natascha to represent Germany? Hehe, gusto ko nga rin sana si Larissa Meek to represent USA.

Haaay, wishful-thinking...

[JENSIE_G]

maniacal >> Yup I agree! Good choices! *okay*

I aslo hope France would send a delegate... :)

That's the way naman it should be on all boards and threads, di ba? :)

Hey ang lakas pa rin ng ulan dito sa Metro Manila... May bagyo pa rin... :umbrella:

I remember during the Miss Universe 1974 pageant, the delegates dined in the rain at Nayong Pilipino. Literally they used elegant see-through umbrellas while feasting on Filipino cuisine and delicacies... An experience I'm sure they'll never forget in their entire lifetime...

Saka when the pageant took place live, it was Signal No. 2 in Metro Manila... The show still went on... *okay*

Magandang gabi sa regulars here.

[power(bubbles)]

Hey Jensie. Another stage which I liked so much was the set in 1993 that was very exotic, Manila was another great set for me. I find the Windhoek set pretty stuffy, but I liked the swimsuit set so much. 1996 was alright, it had the best set in swimsuit and evening gown especially that long flight of stairs. it'll really test your grace. btw can you post a photos of the following sets here? if its alright. ALso the 1992 evening gown back drop was way gorgeous.

Best Swimsuit in terms of Production and quality of swimwear.

1996 - Las Vegas
1999 - Trinidad and Tobago
1992 - Bangkok
1994 - Manila
1993 - Mexico City
1995 - Windhoek, Namibia
1997 - Miami Beach

Though I want to watch other Miss Universe pageant. For me this are the best

Ako naman sindak ako talaga sa swimsuit competition nung MU99 coz of the excitement the limbo dancers added to the already-scorching hot competition taking place... *okay*

Astig din yung sa Las Vegas because all of the Top 10 delegates were stunning! Walang panget, I swear! Saka I loved that tent gimmick! Very reminiscent of the Miss USA 1996 swimsuit competition...

Okay din yung swimsuit competitions ng MU94 and MU95... Parehong ginamitan ng totoong tubig! Hehe! MU94 had fountains while MU95 had a beautifully-crafted waterfall on the stage's side..

No offense but if anything, this costume is kinda freaky, It's like something out of a set or the X-Files. But then again, the details and the work that was put on this costume is really enough for it to deserve the award!!!


Man, i wont be able to Pex as much coz im flyin to Manila and they took away my computer there..... oh well, i guess i just have to go to internet cafes....Do you guys know how much it costs per hour????

Hello! for me Auditorio Nacional is really one very good architectural gem. Aside from seeing it in MU '93 I saw it in an architectural book a 2 years ago back in school and it look wonderful. Also, in my opinion I think in 1993 Paula Betancourt should've been crowned Miss Universe. I thought she had it, especially when she answered her final question. By the way do you still remeber what she said Jensie? pls. post it here, i can only remember a few words from that very famous answer of hers.

:) Hey. Thoguh 1998 was also nice because of the intensity of teh competition, i found the music boring luckily Veruska, Wendy and Joyce were all there to increase the momentum of the pageant. in my opion i think they could've used a very lively Hawaiian luau music. I like the idea of the torch bearers and the hawaiian dancers there.

Luckily Veruska, Wendy and Joyce were there to intensify the pageant. The best swimsuit music for me are the following, 1996, 1997, 1995, and 1999

You said. I know from the moment the music was played in 1996 that it'll be a nice swimsuit competition due in part to the quality of music, swimsuit and most of all the semi-finalists. And the girls, wow they did what they can during the swimsuit competition. The pose, the strut. All the elements of a great swimsuit competition. I also liked that of Miami Beach in 1997. 60's music top off by a wonderful swimsuit by Jantzen and an art deco inspired acrchitecture for the stage. What Miami Beach and South Beach are known for.

[power(bubbles)]

:) [/QUOTE] That is so true. When the top 10 delegates were announced i said to myself my they are all pretty. Then 5 years later i watch the competition and realized that none of them were panget. Everyone was so elegant, sophisticated, intelligent, sexy, and beautiful. Also all of them happanes to have great hair

Hi there Apostle , Unfortunately the 2000 preliminary ranking were not released to the public. These ladies are the ones in my opinion deserved citation. However though, the delegates that ranked 11'th to 15'th were released to the Cypriot press and if my memory serves me right, they were:

11 Czech Republic
12 Netherlands
13 Aruba
14 Germany
15 Japan.

I know that Czech Republic and the Netherlands placed 11th and 12th respectively but Im not sure if Aruba, Germany and Japan are in their right rank although Im sure that these are the five delegates that rouded up the top 15.

Hi there Apostle , Unfortunately the 2000 preliminary ranking were not released to the public. These ladies are the ones in my opinion deserved citation. However though, the delegates that ranked 11'th to 15'th were released to the Cypriot press and if my memory serves me right, they were:

11 Czech Republic
12 Netherlands
13 Aruba
14 Germany
15 Japan.

I know that Czech Republic and the Netherlands placed 11th and 12th respectively but Im not sure if Aruba, Germany and Japan are in their right rank although Im sure that these are the five delegates that rouded up the top 15.

I really feel bad that Nina was not able to make the cut that year. It was her hair during the swimsuit competition and her gown. And of course, unforgiving media hype.

Puerto Rico, Netherlands, Mexico, Lebanon, Japan, Philippines
Aruba, Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Switzerland
Switzerland, Aruba and Philippines look damn hot. They should've made the 10 together with the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Actually any of them could've been up there.

FRANCE will always and forever be remembered as the nation that won the 1st ever grandslam victory in pageant history...

Read this article in yesterday's Philippine Star
------------------------------------------------------------

BEIJING (AFP) -- For China, taking third place in the Miss Universe contest the first time it entered a candidate might seem something to make hearts swell with pride. Instead, Chinese officials are going to great lengths to simply ignore the contestant, Shanghai model Zhuo Ling. More than that, some media are questioning whether the seemingly bizarre way the 19-year old was selected to represent her country this year makes her achievement closer to a scandal. The strange case of Zhuo Ling goes to the heart of China's deeply ambiguous attitudes towards women.

Although women are officially equal to men since the communists came to power, "holding up half the sky" in Mao's phrase - China remains a deeply sexist place which likes to pretend otherwise. Two months before the pageant, Zhuo was strutting nervously down the catwalk at a remote resort in south China's Guangdong province.

"Hello everyone. I'm candidate number one Zhuo Ling. I'm from Zhejiang (province)," Zhuo told judges at the Miss Universe China, before hurrying off.

No oher contestant emerged. Minutes later local cultural bureau officials marched in, declared the contest illegal and shut it down.

------------------------------------------------------------

It's the first time I've posted here but I've been following this thread for the longest time. I'm not sure if there's any truth to this article but thought it was worth posting it here since it's still a human interest story.

:cool:

[JENSIE_G]

nice_only_child >> Hi there! :wave: Long time no see ah. Musta na? Thanks for the article...

I believe there's some truth to this article. I remember reading that the Miss Universe China 2002 pageant was indeed "shut down" a day before its scheduled grand coronation night... Tapos I was shocked na lang bigla to read in Belleza Venezolana that a certain Ling Zhuo had won that pageant held on March 31.

I also read a day after the MU2002 Live Telecast that a lot of Chinese people were dissatisfied and unhappy with Zhuo's victory... How could that be? Winning 3rd place overall in Miss Universe is not an easy task... Grabe ang crab mentality ng mga Chinese! :down:

[cathybee]

Mahirap talagang papuriin ang mga Chinese eh...I don't think that has something to do with gender issue kase sa Olympics naman...men and women are given much accolade for their efforts; in fact, since women seem more competitive in their respective sports, they are given much praises than their men.

But my oh my, she looks good now *okay*

The new Miss Aruba does not strike me. But she still has one year to prepare maybe there would be some drastic changes to her. But as for now... maybe goodluck in 2004? Hoping Zizi Lee could join again.

Apostle >> Hey musta? :wave:

I know dati mo pa inaabangan yang pix ni Alu. But wala talaga akong mahanap eh. Sorry ha... It's just too rare eh... Pati pix ni Dindi in action during MU93 ay wala talaga akong mahanap...

:(

Lara_D >> Gone were those days when Aruba used to send strong reps for MU... After Deyanira last hear, here comes another bi-racial rep-- Malayka Rasmijn...

Ok lang about Alu. Anyway, she did not make much noise.

Regarding Aruban delegates, true. I still remember Alexandra Ochoa from 1994. Maganda siya!

[JENSIE_G]

Apostle >> Yeah, maganda si Alexandra... BTW, do you remember the news about her mom being robbed at Glorietta? it was splashed all over the news back then. Nadali daw ng pick-pocket in broad daylight. How sad... Umuwi na nang empty-handed sa pageant ay nanakawan pa... :down:

Anyway, here's Miss Aruba Alexandra Ochoa with (L-R) Miss Paraguay Liliana Gonzales Mena, Miss Chile Constanza Barbieri and Miss Colombia Carolina Gomez Correa upon their arrival the the NAIA. This shot was taken at the Dignitaries Lounge.

"Bonochi, I'm Alexandra Ochoa from One Happy Island, ARRRUVVAH!!! :D

[JENSIE_G]

Apostle >> Yeah Alu definitely DID NOT make any noise at all during Miss Universe 1991... Like I said, her participation in Miss Universe 1991 is one of the biggest jokes ever in pageant history... Patty Bettita should have been sent instead...

I miss Carolina Gomez! Not even Catalina Acosta of 2000 or Vanessa Mendoza of 2002 can measure up to her. Remember the off-shoulder orange ballgown with gold trim she wore in the prelimiaries? The gown would have looked tacky on another delegate but she was able to pull it off.

[JENSIE_G]

Apostle >> Yeah I agree! I believe if Carolina were to compete in today's setting, she'd win by a landslide!!!! Ang ganda niya sobra!!!

Yeah I remember that orange Jaime Arango gown! It got a 9.41 during the MU94 Presentation Show! :)

Speaking of 1994, would you have a pic of Michelle Van Eimeren in her evening gown? Sobrang ganda niya doon!

[JENSIE_G]

Apostle >> Here's Carolina's MU94 Presentation Show evening gown. It was designed by Jaime Arango. It appears red here though...

Here she is with her boyfriend Nocolas Hoyasco...

jensie, what do you think of miss indiana teen?

may pag-asa ba sa tingin mo? thanks.

[JENSIE_G]

artt >> Hi there! :wave:

Hmmm... She looks OK to me... :)

Miss Indiana Melyssa Jill Ramos... Let's wait for her official headshot. I believe may igaganda pa siya! With her exotic looks, she just might make it to the Top 10... It's too early to tell though... :)

Actually the caliber of the Aruban delegates have greatly improved compared to the Miss Arubas of the 80's and early 90's. So meaning, Miss Aruba 2003 is way better and will be more prepared compared to her predecessors from the early 90's.
