The Beauty Pageants Thread

[MingTsai]

i was watching PIPOL last night and one of their featured personalities was PATRICIA BORROMEO. they flashed pictures of patricia with her friends, and one of them was MAVIS MANOTOC.

e, i remember in the early to mid-90s, their names were always mentioned as potential beauty queens. they have one thing in common, their mothers were previous bb. pilipinas winners.

with their good looks, height, intelligence and pedigree, i think they could have been sure winners. what do you guys think?

She looks like a morena Lyn Ching to me..must be the lips :teehee:

Ming Tsai :rotflmao: Korek ka dyan...but she should still be the Miss World for me that year! :D

As the saying goes, the girls bloom after their pageants...and Shauntay is one! :wink: She looks more..umm...womanly in those pix...:belat:

Parang di ko rin nagustuhan ang Ms. Aruba...looks like just one pretty face amidst the crowd only.

[JENSIE_G]

cathybee >> Hi there! :wave: Morning!

Yeah Lynn Ching nga! Hehe! :)

Ang ganda ni Shauntay! She looks like Halle Berry talaga! lalu na sa trailer ng Die Another Day... :up:

Yeah, the new Miss Aruba is soooo plain. Pero it's definitely too early pa naman eh. Hehe! The MUO stylists will re-invent her pa! :)

Is 200 pages the limit? or just a sort of check valve?
Im sure that would be reached by Miss world 2002 or even before. :)

[JENSIE_G]

whyte >> Yeah...

Go to the Love, Courtship & Marriage forum and look for the Singles Club Batch 2002 thread... 8,000+ posts na siya and 200 pages na... tapos it says after sa "200 pages">> "Last page"...

[whyte]

out of topic
----------------
And what were you doing at Singles Club Batch 2002 thread?
:D :D :D
Wala lang. oo nga. wala na tayong magagawa kundi mag post na lang ng bago....errr kayo pala.

the married thread has 17 pages to go.
----------------

Is there any back to back winner sa Miss U? i know miss world has India....

[JENSIE_G]

whyte >> haha! Wala... napadaan lang... naaliw lang ako coz ang haba-haba na ng thread na yun eh... :up:

NOPE, there ain't any back-to-back victory in Miss Universe... there WILL NEVER BE... Trust me...

BLACK-TO-BLACK, meron! Sina Wendy Fitzwilliam and Mpule Kwelagobe (1998-1999)... :)

Sa Miss World naman ay thrice na nagkaroon ng back-to-back victories...

1951-1952 (Kiki Haakonson and May Flodin-- both from Sweden)
1964-1965 (Leslie Langley and Ann Sidney-- both from the United Kingdom)
1999-2000 (Yukta Mookhey and Priyanka Chopra-- both from India)

:)

[whyte]

thanks. alam ko mag reply ka kaagad.
tama ka sa black to black.
what can you say about the Miss U winner Mona Grudt or something i remeber watchiong it bata pa ako and I didnt find her that beautiful. any pictures of her winning moment and now?
masyadong demanding....
:D :D

[JENSIE_G]

whyte >> When Mona won on April 15, 1990 she wasn't that stunning at all... She won because it was her destiny to win-- saka she played her cards right that fateful night...

Just to add, it was her mom who made her evening gown...

Here's Mona with her court... (L-R) Miss USA Carole Gist (1st RU) and Miss Colombia Liseth Mahecha (2nd RU)...

[whyte]

ang bilis.

i like her picture sa taas beside the 3 girls. inow remember na mas nauna pa pinalabas ang Miss U 1990 sa Phil TV kesa sa Miss USA. wala ng thrill tuloy ang huli.

During the Miss Universe 1984 and 1986 pageants, the delegates wore similar dresses to those worn during MU72. :)

She should have worn her blue-silver terno instead... Mas sexy and daring yun! Saka napaka-sikip ng top nun kaya labas cleavage ni Charlene... :up:

:)

these are semifinal scores, not preliminary? it doesn't follow that she's the best philippine delegate ever. it depends on the set of judges din. there are years na sobrang taas ng magbigay ng rating ng mga judges. in the 80s it was not common for judges to give 9++ scores for the candidates. in 1999, the highest semifinal score for swimsuit was only 9.35. and in the last edition of miss u delegates' scores in the semis ranged from 7.9 to 9.8.

anyways, we really don't know the scores in bb. pilipinas, but these, in my opinion, are the best:

best gown performance: cara subijano, (RU - yedda marie kittilstvedt)

best swimsuit performance: nina alagao, (RU - abbygale arenas)

best interview: nina alagao, (RU - yedda kittilstvedt)

about patricia faessler, i think there was a news before na she was engaged to a filipino. whatever happpened to that?

[JENSIE_G]

MingTsai >> Hi there!

Yeah true. It doesn't necessarily follow that she's the best Filipina delegate... Mataas din talaga mag-score ang mga judges during MU94...

The highest semi-final swimsuit score during MU99 was 9.33.

I agree with your choices regarding the best interview, swimsuit and evening gown performances in Bb. Pilipinas. :up:

I don't have any news na on Patricia and her Filipino bf eh... What happened kaya, noh?

[JENSIE_G]

Maganda din evening gowns ni Caroline Pobre (Bb. Pilipinas '95 1st RU) and Susan Jane Ritter (Bb. Pilipinas International '96)... :up:

OK din swimsuit performance nila Aileen Damiles and Sovietskaya Bacud (Bb. Pilipinas '96 1st RU)... :up:

OK din interview nila Reham Snow Tago and Tina Fandino... :up:

yes, that was an inno sotto. pink is not really a good color for pageant gowns but that specific gown was fantastic and she carried it so well. that same gown was worn by dayanara torres, sa star awards ata.

TVB, the company that holds Ms Hong Kong license, also holds an annual Ms Chinese International Pageant joined by different gals around the world :D Young palang to..it started in 1988 and I think Manila (yup, they use the cities name in the sash and not the country kase minsan 2 cities in the country *** sumasali :) ) has been sending candidates since 1994 (my rough estimate since I saw Manila winning Ms Friendship that year :hmm: )anyways, here were the two candidates from 2001-2002....share ko lang, product yan ng boredom hehehe...
2002 rep--- Louise Shen Diane Yu
http://tvcity.tvb.com/special/mcip2002/images/2002mc_profile_g13.jpg

2001 rep --- Genevieve Khu Siao
http://tvcity.tvb.com/special/misschi2001/images/profile/bphoto/01.jpg

Pano kaya nila napick *** candidate from Manila noh?

[cathybee]

Facts about Ms Chinese International:

-First back to back crowns: Vancouver - '01 and '02
-Winningest : Canada - Vancouver won twice, Toronto won twice and Montreal won once :D
-Besides Vancouver, the two time winners are: Hong Kong (also the first winner of the said pageant), Singapore, Toronto.
-Interesting to note was when Singapore won on a year ('91, '96) , Toronto will follow ('92, '97)and this happened twice!
-4 was the number of times Hong Kong was excluded in the top 3!
- Manila only won a special award - Ms Friendship and was never a top 3! :belat:

there's a miss chinatown pageant held anually here and the winner becomes our country's rep for miss chinese international.
;)

[cathybee]

Thanks for that info, Ming Tsai...pero alam ko nastop na yan di ba? I think last year lang binalik uli :wink:

Pero isa lang masabi, ang galing talaga kumuha ng photographers ng Hong Kong kase ang gaganda ng mga headshots mapa-Ms Hong Kong o mapa-Ms Chinese International...:D

[cathybee]

Got this news from Mabuhay Pageants....

Margarita Ann Bayot has left for Ms. Internet WWW in Instanbul, Turkey.

Karen Agustin will leave on July 21 for Ms Globe International.

Sana may back to back noh?! Kung di kayang humataw sa big pageants, pwede na rin to! :D It's a confidence booster still.

[cathybee]

I forgot kung si Jensie o si Lara *** nahihighblood sa exclusion ng HK sa MU...well just want to tell everyone na they will sending on MW and MI so MU lang talaga *** nawalan sila ng franchise. Ewan ko lang kung *** papadala this year e kung *** last year's winner o *** this year's winner. :hmm:]

[wdstar]

YOU ARE MY STAR with the Little Sisters

You are my star. You light my way.
You brighten all my nights and make my day.
You are my star, and even more,
You are the friend that I've been waiting for,
And if I start to lose my way,
I search the sky and find out where?you are.
Then I call on you to see me through
Because you are, because you are my star.

You are my star. I look at you
And feel my secret wish is coming true.
You are my star. I'm not alone
Now that I have one of my very own.
And even when the clouds appear
And cover all the other stars?there are.
I look up to you and you shine through
Because you are, because you are my star.

When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
Everything your heart desires
Will come to you.
When your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme.
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do.

Fate is kind, fate is kind.
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing.
Like a bolt, out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams, your dreams come true.

{break "la-la-la-la"}

Like a bolt, out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams (you light my way)
Come (you make my day)
True?.
You are my star. My secret wish is coming true.
You are my star.
You are my star.

:)

Thanks Jensie_G for the info about miss world!:)

Putri Indonesia? Sa totoo lang wala pa akong nakikita na medyo maganda na nanalo ng title na yun! Hahhahaha!:D

[wdstar]

wishes for miss earth 2002

1.no more chicken and rices to the ladies

2.find another hotel shun intercontinental bcoz it's too chinese.no more chinese food pls.

3.the pageant should be held in a bigger venue like araneta coliseum or picc

4.they should have three special like what they've done in miss universe 1994.imagined this

miss earth mabuhay
representing the delegates in their native costume and showing them individually like in miss world u decide or showing them a la survivor so that viewers will have a closer look.

miss earth presentation show
show the prelim competition in swimsuit and gown and the talent potion.
miss earth coronation night
the finals of the pageant and the major presentation

5.better pageant production not like what we saw last summer it was so boring and the evening gown event sucks.less performers and better stage design.we are tired of looking at those abs-cbn type of stage which they used in bb. pilipinas in 1997.past is past.

6.more delegates and more news about the pageant.last year there were no news about the pageant only a handful have ofpapers given interest.they should realize that the pageant is now world class and recognized as one of the 4 major pageants in the world.

7. better host but i do like bobby yan and the two ladies but i prefer edu manzano as the main host and his two lady co host should be catharina svensson and varalat suwanalat of thailand.

8.they should invite foreign artist to perform in the pageant.

9.show the scores with better design just like in the miss universe.the scoreboard look like a grade skoolers design.they should have better font sizes and colors.

10.have well known personalities and beauty experts and environtmentalist and designers as judges.

11.pls no pimping of beauties as what others accused caruousel in the past miss asia pacific pageants.

12.bigger prizes and better media mileage of the contest.pls give out the non major awards during prelim judging.

cathybee >> Thanks for the pix & info regarding the Miss Chinese International pageant. Grabe, wala akong kaalam-alam dyan! Hehe! :)

Regarding HK, well bahala sila if ie-echapuwera nila ang Miss Universe... It's their big loss and not MUO's...

Lara_D >> Thanks for Oxana's Kenya pix... Out na kaya yung pics nya during her Bluepoint photo shoot last month in Greece? :)

wdstar >> Thanks for posting the lyrics of You Are My Star here... Classic na yang song na yan... It was used during the evening gown competition from 1987-1994... :)

[, :) [/QUOTE] Lindsay Douglas for me should be send to Miss World. With her good looks, poise, intelligence and glamour a lady like that should go to a higher pageant and not Miss Earth. Lindsay or Larissa Meek is the right choice for Miss World. But I think Lindsay was robbed of the Miss USA crown. I'm still in shock why Shauntay Hinton won instead of Ms. Douglas

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Yeah, Lindsay Douglas is ideal for Miss World... Haven't you noticed, since 1998 hanggang last year ay non-stop blondies ang reps ng US sa Miss World... saka taga-Califonia pa lahat!!!

Shaunna Gambill, Natasha Allas, Angelique Breaux and Carrie Stroup are all Californians!!! Hmmmm....

[cathybee]

:wave: Jensie_G! Im hooked on a tv series and I like one of the actress kase gandang ganda ako sa kanya and she looks like a beauty queen to me so that leads to my extensive research on ms hk and ms chinese international :D Shucks...how I wish I am like her or her character hehehe...anyways, salamat sa pag-appreciate kahit paano. :bounce: At least, may dagdag kaalaman na naman tayo, di ba? *okay*

And btw, it's not the first time pala that HK didn't have a rep to MU ...ang dami rin nilang years na hindi sumali and to think na may isa silang winner na double masters degree holder pa and imagine mo na lang *** impact nun sa interview with the brains of hers...hindi sya super ganda, maganda lang un pero the brains...abaahhh...may laban sana un di ba! oh well :shrug: tapos *** mga ewan *** hitsura nakakasali sa mu! actually, lately, puro di ko type *** mga winners eh...maliit o kaya cute lang pero hindi maganda! :rolleyes: Sasabihin ko sa iyo, mabuti na rin na hindi sumali ang HK this year kase di ko talaga type *** Ms HK eh...magiging thank you girl lang un...cute lang sya eh pero wala talagang oof!

30th anniversary pala ng Ms HK at sana naman they could find a good one to win...back seat na muna dapat *** may potential to be a star. Kase usually, star potential *** tinitingnan dyan sa pageant na yan PERO IN FAIRNESS, marami silang magagaling na artista (Maggie Cheung - she's the 1st one to be a semifinalist on MW and she's Berlin Film Festival queen for 2 or 3 times yata and etc etc.) at model (like Michelle Reis, the cover girl ng L O'real Whitening series or FHM Asia yata un #1 Cristy Cheung) na nadiscover dyan! As in!

May habit pala USA to send Californian blondes sa MW ah...:lol: so did it pay off?!? Whats the record so far of the Californian blondes?

Saw it once on pageant.net that Carrie Anne Stroup is from North Carolina, not California. I think she just moved to California just to pursue a career in film and TV

[Lara_D]

Just finished watching Putri Indonesia 2003/Miss Indonesia 2003. Actually it was just accidental because I was just channel surfing. I only caught the top 5 interview, thank God yun ang naabutan ko because I would probably die of boredom since i can't understand Bahasa. Well the only reason why I put up and watched the show because I know OXana would be there. And there she was, she was seated there with the audience. And when the time came for her to strut the stage she was oh so beautiful as ever. Though her gown wasn't really that flattering. Kinda old fashioned, but she really carried it well. And the new crown fits her well to. too bad she spoke Russian and the interpreter Bahasa, so i did not understand what they were talking about. Regarding the winner, well, she's not bad. Actually she has a pretty face and nice bone structure. The funny thing is, the 1st runner up looked more like a man/ drag queen. hehehe

Well we have to wait and see if the Indonesian government won't be a hypocrite again and bar Miss Indonesia in competing in Miss Universe. Thank God i'm not Indonesian. hehehe Quite an irony, for the past years the winner of Miss Universe would always go to Indonesia and be at the Miss Indonesia Pageant even with the fact that Miss Indonesia can't even join Miss Universe. Hoping Bb. would invite Oxana and be here for Bb. Pilipinas 2003. And I've noticed that the Indonesian public wasn't really that ecstatic compared to us pageant crazy Pinoys. She would definitely be receiving a royal welcome if she comes here.

[power(bubbles)]

From Pageant.net
In the summer of 1998, Carrie Stroup of North Carolina was crowned Miss United States Teen. She went on to finish as first runner-up at Miss Teen International. She was also Miss Congeniality and winner of the swimsuit award at the international pageant.

People who saw her would say, "She is incredibly cute."

[JENSIE_G]

luvronnie >> Hi there! :wave: Musta na? Nice to see you again here...

Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the opening... But I've heard nga na sila ang muses ng UP... Whoaw! :up:

What were they wearing? How did they look? Fill me in, please... *okay*

Saka sino muses ng ADMU and DLSU? Thanks! :)

[luvronnie]

hi jensie!!! :) k lang ako, anyway ang fresh nilang tignan especially zora... ang ganda ganda nya ngayon, blooming sya! suot nila white beaded na knee length dress, *** kay karen haltered, *** kay zora tube naman. DI ko kilala *** sa ateneo pati sa dlsu e... grabe maglakad c karen, sobrang queenly, tinalbugan nya lahat ng muse don =)

[JENSIE_G]

luvronnie >> Hi again! Thanks for sharing these info! :up:

...that's why they're called beauty queens! :up:

[Russkiy]

Hello.

Jensie...Yung isang muse ng DLSU yung naka light green, 1st year engineering student ata yun. I don't know kung siya nga talaga yun, di ko alam yung name eh. Pero siya nga ata yun. I always see her at Mc Donalds-DLSU. She's pretty naman. Mas maganda yung muse ng UP!

Lara... I agree with you, medyo maganda nga yung winner ng miss indonesia this year. May improvement. Sabi nga ng mom ko, she's pretty! heheh...well my mom is indonesian, kaya para sa kanya lahat ng indones, maganda!! heheh pati yung 1st runner-up!:p

[JENSIE_G]

Russkiy >> Hi there! :wave: Musta?

Thanks for sharing this info regarding DLSU's muse... Last year if I'm not mistaken... ang muse ng DLSU ay si Bow Pellicer...? Tama ba? Or was it Nicole Hernandez? nalito nako talaga... :hiya:

:)

[Russkiy]

Hello.

[JENSIE_G]

Hi again Russkiy... Double post ka na... :)

[Russkiy]

oops sorry double post!

[JENSIE_G]

To Ateneans >> HELP!!!! Sino ba muse niyo kanina sa UAAP Opening Ceremonies???

Kindly post her complete name here... thanks! *okay*

[cathybee]

Ako nga nagulat nung lumabas sila Karen for UP..I was saying whoah...sino un...the lakad ba naman is so queenly! Tapos nung close up...abay si karen agustin pala! wow! Actually, mas iba pa nga *** lakad nya kesa kay zora kaya siya una kong napansin tsaka she's so friendly looking. Actually besides dlsu muse na mukhang enjoying her time there, sila karen at zora lang *** mukhang ganun din. *** iba parang ill at ease or snobbish or ewan ko, basta mukhang di masaya eh :confusing:

I think UAAP boasts more brevy of beauties than NCAA *okay* hehehe....

Cute talaga *** sa lasalle, she's so bubbly. The other one, *** taga eng, not so bubbly but pleasant. Ateneo's good looking pero medyo aloof e. Si Karen at Zora lang *** muses na happy looking dun hehehe :bounce:

[Lara_D]

I too was able to watch the UAAP opening kanina. Of course sa UP side kami. Medyo natulala kami ng mga kasama ko when we saw Karen was one of our muses, she was really sexy and Zora too. Actually I wasn't able to notice Zora because from the place we were seated nakatalikod siya. And their dresses where like the same as the Angelo John opening number dresses back in MU 2000. Yeah it seems they were enjoying themselves. Kulang nalang si Nina Alagao para maging 3 Graces. hehehe sayang... no offense pero nagmukhang mga nene yung mga ibang muses ng ibang schools nung itinapat sa 2 beauty queens na ito. They were really so queenly kanina.

UP FIGHT!!!!!!!

[Lara_D]

Oh yeah forgot I agree to some extent that the bevy of beauties in the UAAP are better than in the NCAA, but I remember a few years back San Beda got Wilma Doesnt as their muse. It's quite funny actually because naging "slapstick" saka "in your face" kinda way ang pinapalabas ng mga taga Beda. Who would think they would get her for a muse? Since the usual trend for a muse is the mestiza type. And Wilma easily matches the Bedan personality - kwela and magulo. hehehe

Hi there! I was able to watch the opening of UAAP din.

Lara_D: Tama ka talaga nagmukhang nene yung ibang muse dahil sa kadiyosahan ng muse niyo! Grabe... Hands down na lang talaga ako... :)

[Lara_D]

San side ka kanina? It was the first time I saw these queens in person and come to think of it, may K talaga sila para pumunta sa Miss Universe. Kahit papano we should give credit to Madame Stella, they were given a huge make over. And we won pa... hehehe

JENSIE_G: Baka Atenean ka, kaya Ill be careful with my words, well, opinion ko lang ha :D...yeah, i think the beauty queens' beauty really stand out among all. The Atenean muse is beauty too but something with her umm...attitude during the parade that really makes the others outshone her :wink:

[JENSIE_G]

One of my wishes is for Mexico to put on a good fight naman in Miss Universe.... For the past 3 years, it has been sending over-hyped but weak delegates... I hope they would shine once again next year in Panama...

:)

[Musique]

Yup, i agree. Mexico is one country na medyo like the Philippines na over-hyped lagi ang delegates. Anyway, sana nga mag-top ten uli ang Mexico. Although, I really liked their 2000 bet, Letty Murray, sayang nga lang talaga because she competed in a very strong batch of delegates.


:bow:

[JENSIE_G]

Musique >> Yeah true! Parang nag-lamierda lang tuloy si Letty sa Cyprus... Sayang siya! To think she won 2 important special awards... Wala pa sa Top 10... Haay...

Silvia Salgado was the last best Mexican in MU talaga... She deserved to make it to the Top 10... :)

[power(bubbles)]

Hi everyone. I like Shruti, but lets see what will happen in Abuja in a few months. Hope Vanessa will still compete. I really think that Mexico was one of the wasted ladies of 2000. Together with Philippines, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Aruba just to name a few.

Let's all see if Horreya will be the 1st ever Egyptian semi-finalist in Miss Universe.

Since Egypt joined Miss Universe in 1987, it has not made it to the Top 10 yet. It has not won any special award either.

Zhuo looks more refreshing without make-up... :up:

The guy na naging escort nila Zora is Xavy Nunag, UP's Point Guard and a former San Beda Red Cub.

In the picture I find Karen more beautiful but these pictures does not give justice for them. They're both stunning bombshells in person.

I think someone mentioned this pero talagang panay Miriam benchmark (which is chinita beauty) nga ang mga sumunod sa kanya na bb pilipinas-universe ! haayyy...sana lang wag naman nilang gawing benchmark to for years....kase sabi ni pitoy, nung nanalo si gloria diaz at margie moran, they patterned their benchmark after them which I think they used for what...20 years?!? Nagkataon lang na Miriam got into the place where she is because Janelle got stripped off her crown so the idea of a chinita beauty for MU was not in their minds yata. Oh well :shrug:

An interesting article about Miss China, Zhuo Ling

Here She Comes! (Will China Ever Be the Same?)
By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL


BEIJING, July 15 — When Zhuo Ling was declared second runner-up at the Miss Universe contest in Puerto Rico in May, the tears and the tiaras masked a secret: because Chinese officials do not approve of such beauty pageants, her "Miss China" title had been bestowed in an underground competition, held despite official threats and bans.
In fact, the Miss China contest nearly did not happen, after officials in the southern city of Enping raided the auditorium. Ms. Zhuo — the first contestant — had just come on stage in a bathing suit when they rushed the dais, shooed out contestants and informed organizers that they had broken the law because cultural events require permits.

Determined nonetheless to have a queen, the judges and contestants sneaked back in at night to restage the event, awarding Ms. Zhuo the crown. But while most Miss Universe contestants got a royal send-off to Puerto Rico, Ms. Zhuo left quietly from the Shanghai airport, escorted to the ticket counter by her father.

"I was lugging two huge suitcases," she said. "I felt very alone."

With her big eyes and earnest delivery, Ms. Zhuo, a 20-year-old dance-student-turned-model, hardly seems a subversive force. She says she wants to serve her country, and when the judges in Puerto Rico asked about her role models, she quickly cited her father.

But her strange odyssey displays Communist officialdom's deep ambivalence about the vibrant consumer culture that has evolved in China's cities today — a Frankenstein's monster that was unleashed by the Communist Party's own market reforms, but that quickly moved beyond its understanding and control.

"This is 2002, we've joined the W.T.O., we've been selected to hold the 2008 Olympics," said Shi Sizhi, a private Beijing businessman who organized the Miss China contest, with approval from the Miss Universe organization in New York. "All I'm trying to do is to bring Miss Universe to China. What's to be afraid of here?"

At a first pass, Ms. Zhuo's travails are indeed perplexing, given that more young Chinese girls aspire to be models than model workers these days.

But there have been no actual beauty contests in China since the Communist takeover in 1949, and that apparently makes some officials nervous when it comes to approving such an event. Some argue that modeling involves skill, while beauty is more superficial — a bourgeois concern — even though the Miss Universe contest involved speeches and other performances.

A more important issue might have been control over the nation's image. Chinese officials apparently could not fathom yielding power over the choice of such a representative to a private group.

Mr. Shi spent four years appealing, unsuccessfully, to the Ministry of Culture and other government offices for approval to hold a Miss China contest here. "No one was willing to take the responsibility," he said.

This year he thought he had a wink and a nod when culture officials, while refusing to issue the legally required approval, offered the pesky promoter an olive branch: "We won't criticize you, but keep it quiet and don't make it a big deal," they said.

To comply, he scheduled the Miss China pageant in the obscure city of Enping in Guangdong Province, without much publicity.

To prepare for Puerto Rico, Mr. Shi's business, the Beijing Golden International Investment and Consulting Company, hired a designer to make Ms. Zhuo's wardrobe. It bought her plane ticket as well.

"Generally when you're picked as your country's representative there are some special events and you're given some tutoring," said Ms. Zhuo in a telephone interview from her home in Shanghai. "I didn't have a chance to help my country. And I didn't have a former Miss China at my side. It made me pretty sad."

She and Mr. Shi fretted that Chinese authorities might prevent her from going. But when she picked up her visa at the United States Embassy marked "Miss China, going to Miss Universe Contest," they relaxed.

So it was something of a miracle when Ms. Zhuo came from underground in China to take third place on stage in Puerto Rico, trailing only Miss Russia and Miss Panama. But with her surprise win beamed to television sets all over the world, it became increasingly hard to keep her existence under wraps.

Ms. Zhuo's modeling agency in Shanghai quickly capitalized on the win, arranging activities in San Francisco and Honolulu.

"I have plans for her to go into movies and TV," said her agent, Song Meiyin. When Ms. Zhuo arrived back in Shanghai last month, a host of reporters met her at the airport, although the state-controlled news organizations have said little about her as yet.

Mr. Shi said official attitudes had run hot and cold toward Ms. Zhuo's amazing victory. The city government of Shanghai, which earlier this year had threatened to cancel a local Miss China preliminary contest, recently sent her as its representative on a business delegation to France.

In Puerto Rico, Ms. Zhuo was surprised to find government delegations from Beijing and from China's eastern Shandong Province — both vying to be the host of a future pageant.

Mr. Shi hopes that Ms. Zhuo's victory will change official attitudes and help bring a Miss Universe finals to China by 2004.

Ms. Zhuo herself has remained ever gracious, mostly keeping above the fray.

"If you're the first at anything there are always some difficulties," she said, exercising the poise and diplomacy that wins pageants. "I hope my win will help Chinese change their minds about this and see that it's an opportunity for our country to be on the world stage."

Ang ganda nun if ever...

China hosts Miss Universe 2004...

Tapos sa 2005 ay Pinas naman... Dapat talaga sa 2004 tayo magho-host kaso National Elections naman. Our government and press will prioritize that over Miss Universe, di ba?

And besides, the Araneta Center will undergo a huge expansion just for the big, big event...

Dream come true for me yan if ever China and Pinas indeed get to host MU back-to-back... :)

So far based on the available pictures of the Miss Venezuela 2002 candidates, here's my bet to go to Panama in May...

Vanessa Fanessi- she was 1st RU during the Miss Tourism World 2001 pageant held in Manizales, Colombia in September last year. (She competed with our very own Zorah Andam in that pageant)

She earlier won the Miss Millennium 2000 crown in Finland.... :)

There's nothing much to learn about the Ms Internet WWW site...it just rants on and on about the schedules of the other sister pageants:shrug2: All Ive got it its Great Britain based. Better check the past pages on how is Great Britain distinguished from England and UK uli...hehehe....

Sister pageants are the ff: (some really do really ring bell)

Ms Tourism World - where Zora joined last year :)
Model of the World
Miss Bikini World
Model of the Universe
Miss Great Britain
Mr Tourism World

Basically, its a beauty and MODEL intensive competition so X-Factor is the most important ingredient after all. Hmm..that will be a tough one. Unless may modelling background *** candidate natin, I dont think she will be able to create an impact.

Regarding China 2004 and Phils 2005, it would be great but will the ORGanizers agree to that setting? I mean you were just voicing an opinion. but i would say that going back to the same region for the contest would not be on their minds.....
But it would be great and who knows....PUERTO RICO has done it twice and this year lang.... :) :)

[JENSIE_G]

TOP 3 FAVORITE VENUES OF MISS UNIVERSE (besides the USA of course) :)

#1 MEXICO- Mexico hosted the Miss Universe pageant thrice.

The very first Mexican venue was Acapulco, where South Africa's Margaret Gardiner won in 1978. Cancun, a tropical haven located in the Yucatan province, played host to Miss Universe 1989. Holland's Angela Visser won by a landslide. Mexico City was the 3rd and last host. The pageant was broadcast live on May 20, 1993. Puerto Rico's Dayanara Torres won.

#2 PUERTO RICO- Puerto Rico is tied with Mexico in hosting Miss Universe thrice.

Actually, when satellite communications improved during the 70's, the Miss Universe pageant was finally able to travel to distant shores. It landed on Dorado-- the very 1st Puerto Rican venue. Australia's Kerry Ann Wells won that year, in 1972. The 2nd venue was Bayamon. Hometown queen Denise Quiñones took the entire pageant by storm. San Juan is the 3rd venue... Russia's Oksana Fyodorova bagged the crown last May...

and...

#3 PHILIPPINES- The Philippines hosted the pageant twice! We are damn lucky pa rin kahit papaano! :)

Spain's Amparo Muñoz won on July 21, 1974 amidst signal #2 of a tropical storm. The majestic Folks Art Theater, which was completed in a record of only 77 days, played host to the big event. India's Sushmita Sen won the second time around we hosted the pageant. She was crowned on May 21, 1994 at the Philippine International Convention Center.

Let's all see if Celine will be the 3rd Austrian to win Miss World. Past winners include Eva Rueber Staier (1969) and Ulla Weigerstorfer (1987). :)

A LITTLE BIT OF TRIVIA: If Botswana is the only land-locked country to have won in Miss Universe, Austria is the only land-locked country to have won in Miss World. :)

Lebanon's Georgina Rizk won in 1971. The 2nd venue was Bayamon. Hometown queen Denise Quiñones took the entire pageant by storm. San Juan is the 3rd venue... Russia's Oksana Fyodorova bagged the crown last May...

Jensie, Hello. The Miss Universe pageant was staged in Dorado at the Ceromar Beach Resort in 1972 not 1971. And that year's winner was Australia's Kerry Anne Wells. Lebanon's Georgina Rizk was crowned in Miami.

This afternoon, I was able to watch Discovery Channel and Adventure. The show featured Shanghai, and the first thing that came to my mind was Zhuo Ling. A few months back during MU 2002, a lot of people where complaining why Miss China chose a cheongsam (what the western world calls it) or the Qipao- that's how the Chinese call it. Everyone thought it was too common and very plain. But I think I found the answer in the show. They interviewed an 86 year old tailor, who has been making qipaos for 60 years and his shop is known for making it. He said that, "Only Shanghaianese women can where the qipao well and with great elegance." Since it is in Shanghai where the qipao gained its popularity. No two qipaos are the same.

#3 PHILIPPINES- The Philippines hosted the pageant twice! We are damn lucky pa rin kahit papaano! :)

Spain's Amparo Muñoz won on July 21, 1974 amidst signal #2 of a tropical storm. The majestic Folks Art Theater, which was completed in a record of only 77 days, played host to the big event. India's Sushmita Sen won the second time around we hosted the pageant. She was crowned on May 21, 1994 at the Philippine International Convention Center.

But Japan beat us in being the first Asian host or winner?? limot ko na.
Di ba nung 1974 Miss U dito sa manila, marcos ordered a P1 million peso (cant be sure) "cloud seeding" to drive away the storm clouds. 77 days lang na complete ang folk arts. Grabe!!
Notice how we hosted the pageant during the 21st day and 20 years later.....

[JENSIE_G]

whyte >> Yeah correct! :up:

Akiko Kojima of Japan was the 1st ever Asian to win Miss Universe. She was crowned in 1959 at Long Beach, California. :)

Yeah, that cloud seeding thingy is again correct! :up:

As far as i can recall they also stated that the 1974 pageant was the most expensive ever. And was the highest rated Miss Universe pageant of all time.

[cathybee]

syempre di ako makarelate kay Jensie at whyte...boy talk ba?!? :belat:

[cathybee]

Different cheong sams have different meanings indeed but I believe that the many centuries old history of China can bring more choices than a cheong sam! *okay* Sayang naman kase ang rich ng history and culture ng China tapos di man maexpose at naiwan lang sa near present history ba. :wink:

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Correct! The 1974 edition of Miss Universe is indeed the most expensive of all. Saka it topped television ratings that year. Super duper big time pa ang Pinas noon! :up:

[power(bubbles)]

With Christie who happens to be Miss Teen USA 1996 and Mandy Jeffrey, Miss Texas Teen USA 1995 and Stephanie Guerero's failure to win this year it only shows that the Miss Texas USA pageant is very competitve, or the most competitive of all state pageant for MUO. A friend of mine who grew up in Texas told me that plenty of ladies try out for this title and that for one to win you must win in your particular area. FOr example if your hometown is in the Dallas area, you must first try for the Miss Dallas pageant before being able to compete for the top plum. How I wish the Philippine pageant is like that. What you think Jensie?

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Thanks for sharing this here. :up:

If there's one state pageant that everyone is taking so seriously, it's the Miss Texas USA pageant! It's true that aspirants must compete in their own respective "district" or "county" pageant before they get to compete in the state pageant itself. I find this very organized and systematic.

Yeah I agree with you... Our local pageants are the exact opposite. Aspirants simply submit their applications, walk through a judging panel and voila! If she makes it through that panel, she's automatically an official contestant in the pageant. From hundreds of aspirants, only an average of 30 makes it to the official roster of candidates yearly...

Sooner or later, we must adapt the selection process done during the Miss Texas USA pageant...

I know. Imagine its just the state level. I'm sure the atmosphere at MTXUSA is way better than that of Miss USA. Having 126 girls for crown to compete in the national level. By the way, do you know how many times Mandy Jeffrey has entered the Miss Texas USA search? I know she competed a couple of times already, don't know the exact number. Hope Christie wins it next year.

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Mandy Jeffreys competed in the Miss Texas USA pageant for 4 times.

-She was Miss Lubbock during the 1999 pageant. She won 3rd runner-up that year.

-She was Miss Permian Basin during the 2001 pageant. She was 1st runner-up that year.

-She was Miss Austin during the 2002 pageant. She was only a semi-finalist that year.

-This year, she's Miss Central Texas. She won 3rd runner-up.

I wonder if she'll still compete next year... :)

[power(bubbles)]

Jensie, what's the next state pageant?

[power(bubbles)]

Thanks Jensie. I think she might still join. Remember Rebecca Ambrosi of Illinois in 2001? She won the title on her fifth attempt.

33 YEARS AGO TODAY...

July 19, 1969- "The United States conquered the moon... The Philippines conquered the universe..."

18-year old Gloria Aspillera Diaz was crowned MISS UNIVERSE 1969 in Miami Beach, Florida. She's the 3rd Asian and 1st ever Filipina to win the coveted crown...

Host Bob Barker: In the next day or so, a man will land on the moon. If a man from the moon landed in your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?

Gloria Diaz: Oh, ah, it’s the same thing I’ll do. I think if he’s been in the moon for so long, when he comes over, he wants to change, I guess.

http://www.facepics.com/profiles/images/pageant593/pageant593_image1.jpg

Here's Gloria's court and semi-finalists that year...

1st RU: Miss Finland Harriet Eriksson
2nd RU: Miss Australia Joanne Barret
3rd RU: Miss Israel Chava Levy

For Doogan,

Lara even wore this particular light green sari thrice. Once when she was still Miss India, after she won, and while in the welcome reception during Miss U 2001. To think being Miss Universe she would have been given a new wardrobe. Bakit after a year yun pa rin suot niya? Kaya puro recycled clothes din siya diba?

http://www.missteenusa.com/missteenusa2000/year-picts/special1.jpg

:)
Jillian Parry look so beautiful, so fresh and so young, didn't even think she was already 18 then. I hope she joins Miss USA. Btw, what do you think of Nicole's chances at Miss USA? I remeber in the telecast of MTU how arrogant she was according to Julie and Ali and remember her reaction when she lost to Jillian? she said "damn" after hearing her name as 1st r/u. I hope she had changed. I think think she'll do well tough. A top 3 finish perhaps. But too early to tell.

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Nicole O'Brian will definitely do well in Indiana come March. I believe she's already assured of a Top 5 slot...

Remember Kelly Lloyd? She was 1st runner-up to Vermont's Charlotte Lopez during the Miss Teen USA 1993 pageant. She won Miss Indiana USA 2002 and represented her state right at her own hometown last March 1 during the Miss USA 2002 pageant. She won 2nd runner-up that fateful night.

For all we know, Nicole might just be Texas' 9th Miss USA... :)

Regarding Jillian naman, I agree! Her beauty is indeed refreshing! However, she looked so old during the Miss Teen USA 2001 pageant. She looked thirtysomething na...

[JENSIE_G]

Yeah I agree with Lara_D... :up:

There's nothing wrong with wearing the very same dress or outfit all over and all over again... Lalung-lalo na if kaya namang dalhin...

Miss Universe 2000 Lara Dutta is the best example indeed! She even wore this black-gold native dress for a number of times: during photo shoots, evening functions, when she visited Claudia Moreno and Eva Ekvall in Caracas, and even during the Miss Universe 2001 Presentation Show...

[JENSIE_G]

Guys, I just wanna share na my HS batchmate, former seatmate and friend Ivy Elaine Remulla was special commentator sa World Volleyball Grand Prix (tama ba? exacto ba?) kanina at IBC13...

Ivy is 22 years old and stands 5 feet 9 inches barefoot.

I will convince her to join Bb. Pilipinas 2003! I asked her to join last March but she declined... This time around, wala na siyang ligtas sakin! Hehe!

:glee:

[power(bubbles)]

I agree with you tough I find Kelly over-rated. Unlike Nicole who's the complete package and yes I think she can be Lone Star 9. With Jillian, her hair at the telecast was a wreck, but she had suck great outfits and very much eloquent.

[JENSIE_G]

Lara_D >> Here's what I have to say regarding Miss Universe 1989... :)

-the BEST Miss Universe production of the eighties...

-I just love Porntip's sexy and seductive way of talking and waving...

-Emma Samms was one lousy and boring anchor... blecccch...

-Though Karen Baldwin was stunning, she was also boring... too canned...

-John Forsythe was just TOO OLD to host a pageant like Miss Universe. Mukha siya tuloy D.O.M.

-Miss Mexico Adrianna Abascal nearly tripped face first when she accidentally stepped on her gown during the evening gown competition... Dinaan na lang sa landi afterwards to charm the judges.... hehe...

-Miss Finland Aasa Loewdahl's heels almost got stuck sa steps as she descended from the Ruins of Palenque stage set during the evening gown competition...

-Malaki yung air time ni Miss Philippines Sarah Jane Paez... palagi siyang kasama ni Miss USA & Miss Puerto Rico... She really was a favorite!

-Here's Sara Jane's intro during the Parade of Nations: "I'm a speech communications major and I wanna be a public relations officer. Ako po si Sarah Jane Paez!"

-Miss Thailand Yonlada Ronladi was a 100% certified carbon copy of Kris Aquino!

-Miss USA Gretchen Polhemus worked as a cattle broker prior to winning the Miss USA 1989 crown...

-Miss Sweden Louise Drevenstam worked as a hair dresser!

-Miss Chile Macarena Mina was clearly robbed! Ang ganda niya! Nilampaso talaga siya ng judges...

power(bubbles) >> Let's not forget about Tennessee! After Allison Alderson's failure to make it to the Top 10 this year, the Volunteer State will surely take revenge next year!!!

Two of the hottest possibilities of bagging the crown are Candace Marie Sanders and Stephanie Culberson.

-Candace was 1st runner-up during the Miss Tennessee USA 2001 and 2002 pageants. She just might win this time around!

-Stephanie was 2nd runner-up during the Miss America 2002 pageant... She's a Mandy Moore (when still a blonde) clone!

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Yeah, Kelly was also over-hyped... Frankly speaking, she looked like Eddie Murphy in drag... Pero she's witty! She surely knows how to talk!

Lara_D >> I forgot to add na you're right...

Miss Venezuela 1989 Lisa Eva Larsdotter Ljung is indeed the 2nd tallest Venezuelan to compete in Miss Universe! She stands 6 feet 1 inch! (Actually ka-height lang niya sa Denyse Floreano!)

She was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. She was born of a Swedish mother and Venezuelan father.

[power(bubbles)]

Jensie, True, true. but let's not forget Michigan and Georgia. Both state had their respective streaks snapped last year. Well be assured that the Wolverine State and the Peach State will be back with revenge. Hope they won't get adjudicators like Jermaine Jackson, next year.

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Hell yeah! Jermaine was one helluva racist! :down:

2003 will be the last year the city of Gary, Indiana will host the Miss USA pageant. 2001-2003 lang ang contract na na-sign eh...

From 1998-2000, the city of Branson, Missouri hosted it...

Nung 1997, Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana hosted it...

Tapos from 1994-1996 ay sa South Padre Island, Texas naman...

Where will be the next venue kaya? Sana sa Hawaii naman... or Long Beach! Astig, di ba? :)

Kelly looks so big in her evening gown and looked bigger in swimsuit. I think Illinois should've been in her place.

2003 will be the last year the city of Gary, Indiana will host the Miss USA pageant. 2001-2003 lang ang contract na na-sign eh...

From 1998-2000, the city of Branson, Missouri hosted it...

Nung 1997, Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana hosted it...

Don't forget that the 1998 pageant was hosted by Shreveport-Bossier as well. I hope, San Antonio, Texas will host by 2004. Branson was host from 1999-2000.

power(bubbles) >> Yeah malakas ang Michigan!!!

From 1998-2000 it enjoyed a non-stop semi-final streak... It was only broken in 2001... Sayang... tuloy-tuloy na sana...

I hope to see Alaska and Wyoming in action in Miss USA soon!

Chinese City Likely to Host Miss World Contest

Sanya, a tropical tourist city on south China's Hainan Island, is likely to become the first Chinese city ever to host the Miss World beauty pageant, says event organizer Julia Morley.

Sanya, a tropical tourist city on south China's Hainan Island, is likely to become the first Chinese city ever to host the Miss World beauty pageant, says event organizer Julia Morley.

Morley made a five-day trip to Sanya recently to inspect preparations for the China section of the contest, which will be held in September and produce a contestant for the 2003 Miss World finals in Mexico.

While expressing satisfaction with Sanya's tourism environment and the preparatory work, she hinted at the future possibility of Sanya hosting the finals of the annual contest.

Sanya was a beautiful and romantic city, she said. It had hosted several high-profile modeling contests and may successfully host the Miss World beauty pageant as well.

Xinhua has learned that Sanya authorities are actively working toward the goal of hosting the event in the next few years.

Morley, who took over the pageant's reins from her husband Eric Morley, founder of the event, after his death in 2000, is accompanied on her visit by Miss World for 2001, Nigeria's Agbani Darego, and noted film director V.G. Harris.

Actually Michigan's streak was snapped only this year. Last year the stuning Kenya Howard made it to the 10 and she was soo stunning in evening gown, but didn't fair well in swimsuit.

Sana Madame Araneta would go again for the Charlene (tisay Latina) look... Enough of the Miriam (exotic Asian) look muna... for a change...

It wouldn't hurt to experiment... Maganda at diverse naman ang lahi nating mga Pinoy eh... :up:

[JENSIE_G]

power(bubbles) >> Oh yeah I completely forgot about Kenya Howard... She's another over-hyped delegate during Miss USA 2001...

Since Michigan's last Miss USA winner was black and was also named "Kenya", the pressure for her was just tremendous... Too bad she was cut off from the competition due to low semi-final scores...

power(bubbles) >> Thanks for posting these info here! :up:

I hope the 1st RU in Miss USA would once again automatically compete in Miss World... just like what happened during the 80's up to 1991...

[Lara_D]

Just like this year when there were 2 Venezuelans competing in Miss Universe, back in 1989, there were 2 Swedes. Lisa Eva Larsdotter Ljung was tall alright, but she was really stiff and tensed. I saw it in the tape, she does not have the vavavoom aura of a Miss Venezuela, well actually back in those days the Miss Venezuelas weren't really that aggresive fighters we see with the Miss Venezuelas now. In my opinion, they started sending fighters during Carolina Izak's time- after her, the trend continues. And it was also in 1989 that there wasn't any final question. I was shocked after calling the top 5, they immediately scored them who would be the winner and the runners up.

Lara_D >> I forgot to add na you're right...

Miss Venezuela 1989 Lisa Eva Larsdotter Ljung is indeed the 2nd tallest Venezuelan to compete in Miss Universe! She stands 6 feet 1 inch! (Actually ka-height lang niya sa Denyse Floreano!)

She was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. She was born of a Swedish mother and Venezuelan father.

Lara_D >> Yeah true! Na-feel ko lang yung pulverizing power ng Venezuela starting kay Carolina Izsak! :up:

Nung 80's, not all Venezuelan reps were strong... Lisa Ljung is an example all right... She lacked stage presence and was easily overshadowed by Miss Sweden herself! :)

Yeah wala ngang final Q&A... I believe the pageant's results would still be the same either way... Angela Visser took Cancun by storm!
