Beauty Queens at the Amazing Race Asia -- Silent Observer, Thu, Aug 07 2008, 11:09:11:09:46
I just visited www.beautyinpageants.blogspot.com and learned about the participation of three beauty queens at the Amazing Race Asia. They are Natalie Glebova, Pailin and Tisha Silang.
_____________________________________________
She conquered the universe. She conquered the earth. She conquered the Philippines. But only one of them emerged victoriously.
That was years ago. This time, they have the same mission and that is to conquer Asia through the Amazing Race. And one of them will emerge victorious once more. Who is she?
Three former beauty queens are taking part in a show called the Amazing Race Asia. From the the stage, they are taking their battlefields to the real world as they try to race around the world especially Asia to win - this time, not a pageant crown - a hundred thousand US dollars.
From pageant beauties, they are now Amazing beauties.
Former 2005 Miss Universe Natalie Glebova of Canada is representing Thailand on the third installment of the popular Amazing Race. She is racing with her friend, also a beauty queen, Pailin Rungratanasunthorn who represented Thailand at the Miss Earth 2006 in Manila, Philippines.
Glebova is married to a Thai popular tennis player, Paradorn. This marriage made her eligible to represent Thailand, the country where she won her title as Miss Universe.
On the other hand, Tisha Silang is representing the Philippines together with her boyfriend of 8-years younger, Geoff Rodriguez. Tisha won the right to represent Philippines to the 1998 Miss Universe pageant in Hawaii, USA. But she was forced to give up her title because of a citizenship issue. Tisha is also a Canadian citizen of Filipino parents. She's having dual citizenships.
Only Glebova won her respective pageant being the Miss Universe 2005. Pailin was unplaced at the Miss Earth 2006 while Tisha Silang did not go to the Miss Universe pageant.
Now, the question is who will become winner out of the three? Will Glebova repeat her success with Pailin or will Tisha take this oppurtunity to prove herself.
Watch the show at AXN-Asia starting 11 September 2008 at 9 pm HKT every Thurdays.
As per the spoilers posted at www.entermyworld.heavenforum.com and RFF, Tisha seems to be part of the final 4 while Natalie and Pailin were unnoticed. From EnterMyWorld, Tisha was seen in Singapore Airport booking a flight to Cochin, India. A blogger saw them and he was able to sneak a photo of them. You can check the pictures at the Spoilers Corner of the site.
The three beauties will also be first seen on the show by 04 September 2008 when AXN airs a one-hour special titled Racers Revelead.

¡¡¡ LA INCIERTA PARTICIPACIÓN DE LA REINA DE AREQUIPA 2007 EN EL MISS PERÚ MUNDO 2008 !!! -- Benyi, Wed, Mar 19 2008, 14:05:14:05:27
La participación de Natalia Betzabé Martínez De Pinillos Wiesse : Reina De Arequipa 2007 en el Miss Perú Mundo 2008 , es cada vez más incierta , puesto que ella se encuentra en Italia desde hace ya muchos meses ( al parecer quiere radicar alla y no tiene intensiones de volver al país) según muchos por motivos de trabajo o estudios y por otros más osados en sus opiniones por un suepuesto embarazo ( que de confirmarse, su participación quedaría anulada definitivamente) . En las últimas presentaciónes a las que debió asistir fue reepmlazada por la primera finalista del certamen regional y Reina Del Turismo Arequipa 2007 : Luz Del Rosario Chirinos Mego .
Quien es una muchacha guapa e interesante , del tipo de Andrea Montenegro , 1.75 cm. de estatura y un cuerpo bello y muy bien tonificado , esto dice la revista Luicho acerca de ella : "Poseedora de una figura escultural , consecuencia de un trabajo deportivo permanente es Luz Del Rosario Chirinos Mego, nacida en Arequipa el 15 de agosto de 1986, sus padres, Juan Francisco Chirinos Hinojosa y Luz Del Carmen Mego Avellaneda, actualmente cursa sus estudios de Ingieniería Industrial.
Su condición de representante de Turismo la consiguió en el concurso para Miss Arequipa 2007; con ambiciones juveniles propias indicó que durante su reinado se dedicará a la promoción del turismo regional. Al culminar sus estudios dijo se dedicará a crear una institución para formar nuevos lìderes".
Esperemos y por el bien de Arequipa, esta situaciòn de regularice y dicha regiòn del país tenga la mejor representación posible en el Miss Perú Mundo 2008.
NEXT Top 15 -- Fanatic, Thu, Jul 31 2008, 12:43:12:43:08
I found out this link of a blog (www.beautyinpageants.blogspot.com) here and I was attempted to visit it while I was in a public internet cafe. The blogger's latest article is quite interesting.
I just copied a part of it.
ANGOLA - Lesly Pereira, in fact, has a perfect body. She was stunning in her yellow swimsuit. Her body is one of the best. She is also elegant in her gown. Though the gown is a quite not fabulous, she carried it well. I don't really know why she was excluded.
BRAZIL - Natalia Anderle is actually good in both swimsuit and evening gown presentations. She is so relaxed during the swimsuit and it was really good - very natural. Though there is nothing jaw-locking in her performance, I believe she's in the NEXT top 15.
GREECE - Dionysia Koukiou is also very natural in during the swimsuit competition. She's fine in that segment but she lacked the energy during the evening gown. The judges might have noticed the sudden drop of her enrgy which costed her the slot on the Top 15. Indeed, she's in the NEXT Top 15.
INDIA - There is nothing special about Simran Kaur Mundi except for the name of her sash she was carrying. But she is sexy in her swimsuit. She is not the typical chicken-legged Indian. Her performances on both prelimanary shows was just average. Her gown is not fabulous but she probably nailed the interview portion.
IRELAND - Lyn Kelly had nice gown. Her performance was above average but she was just average during the swimsuit segment. In totality, there's no doubt she's in the NEXT Top 15.
ISRAEL - Shunit Faragi is fabulous at the swimsuit competition. Her downfall was the evening gown. She's a little bit unclassy on how she carried the not-so-fabulous-but-okay gown. Her style in that portion was actually hate-it or love-it.
KAZAKHSTAN - Alfina Nassyrova knows how to walk. She is probably the best candidate so far from her country. She did well in both category but her gown is a little bit outdated. The lesson this country or any country that hardly breaks to the Top 15 for that matter should have a fantabulous gown and eye-popping catwalk skills. That is one of the only two ways how they can break to the semis. The other one is through politics.
KOREA - Sun Lee is actually beautiful and knows how to walk - no doubt about it. The only problem in her performance was her exxageration. She walked too wild. But she is okay in the evening gown.
NORWAY - Mariann Birkedal is definitely good. What costed her the the crown was her gown. That was awful. She tried to carry it well, she did it, but the judges emphasized more on the gown.
PANAMA - Carolina Dementiev Justavino was just fine. She's really okay for the NEXT Top 15.
PERU - Carol Castillo is just like Miss Panama. Her performance was just fine. Nothing special but definitely she's not on the third slab of Top 15.
PHILIPPINES - Jennifer Barrientos actually showed a fine preliminary performances on swimsuit and evening gown. This lady silently worked hard to bring out the best in her until the finals. She did a very classy and swimsuit presentation. Obviously, her downfall was the outdated gown but she carried it well. Though she did not have the Best Gown, she's actually in my list of the Best in Gown. Remember that there is a difference between the two.
PUERTO RICO - Ingrid Rivera was good during the preliminary. There is no doubt about it. But she was not on her best form during that night. We've seen her in previous pageants better. She was overly exposed. This could be the reason why she did not make it to the Top 15. The judges might had high expectations on her and when they saw her doing just an average performance, her score was affected.
THAILAND - Gavintra Photijak was just fine. Like Panama and Peru, she delivered an average performance enough to be in the NEXT Top 15. Politics, this time, did not work on her. Too bad.
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - Anya Ayoung-Chee was good in her evening gown. She carried it pretty well. She was also good in her swimsuit. And I believe she is better thatn some in the Top 15. This goes to some of the ladies mentioned in this particular list. Some of them are better than some of the ladies in the actual Top 15.
INGRID RIVERA OCUPO LA QUINCUAGESIMANOVENA (59) POSICION EN MISS UNIVERSO -- INGRID LA # 59 ENTRE LAS BELLAS, Thu, Jul 31 2008, 0:09:00:09:22
San Juan, Puerto Rico
La beldad boricua ocupo la quincuagésimonovena(#59)posicion en el certamen de Miss Universe 2008 celebrado en Vietnam.
Especial Primera Hora
Ahora es que vengo a aprender yo esa palabra quincuagésimonovena: si hasta parece de embuste!", se maravilló Juan Collazo, "periodista" de Primera Hora quien estaba en Vietnam cubriendo el evento. Collazo estaba incrédulo de que la beldad boricua llegara número cincuenta y nueve en el certamen de belleza: "O sea, llegamos más bajito que países que yo creo que son hasta de embuste, como 'Mauritius' y 'Montenegro', exclamó risueño el periodista. Mientras tanto, el Pueblo de Puerto Rico intentaba recuperarse del duro golpe de no ver a una de las suyas en televisión internacional. "Tremenda inversión pendeja hicimos", dijo el Senador Jorge De Castro Font, quien gestionó que se le asignaran a Ingrid Marie 25 mil dólares para el viaje a Vietnam.
HABLA MISS UNIVERSO 2008 DESDE NUEVA YORK -- DAYANA MENDOZA, Mon, Jul 21 2008, 16:45:16:45:59
lunes, 21 de julio de 2008
AP Nueva York.- A diferencia de la mayoría de las concursantes, que participan para hacerse un nombre y buscar nuevos horizontes, Dayana Mendoza dejó de lado una promisoria carrera como modelo para aventurarse en el exigente certamen Miss Venezuela, paso previo a su coronación internacional.
Conocidas por su estricta preparación, las misses de su país pasan meses aprendiendo de dieta y oratoria, a bailar y a caminar. Pero la flamante Miss Universe se sumó a la competencia a pocas semanas de la gran noche habiendo recorrido ya pasarelas de América y Europa y sabiendo desenvolverse con aplomo frente al público y las cámaras, además de tres idiomas.
"Yo tenía desde los 15 años trabajando como modelo, viajando por distintos países del mundo, pero quería hacer algo como más personal", explicó hoy, lunes, a la AP la beldad de 22 años en una de sus primeras entrevistas en su nuevo hogar, Nueva York, adonde arribó el viernes.
"La modelo vende más la marca de un vestido, de un producto, la Miss tiene la oportunidad de tener contacto con la gente, de poder interactuar y mostrar su personalidad también y sentí que eso era lo que necesitaba. Y total que me fue buenísimo", añadió con una sonrisa sincera, casi indeleble.
La quinta venezolana en conquistar el máximo cetro de la belleza universal nunca había participado de un certamen de este tipo antes de alistarse al de Miss Venezuela. Venezuela tiene ya con ella 5 Miss Universo, 5 Miss Mundo y 5 Miss International. Toda la experiencia, dijo Dayana, "ha sido un shock".
"Todavía como que no pongo los pies en la tierra. Estoy como que flotando en la emoción. La verdad es que coronarse Miss Universo después de 12 años ha sido... ¡Me encantaría haber visto a mi país por un huequito en el momento en que me estaban coronando!", expresó abriendo sus grandes ojos verdes.
Su triunfo sigue al de su predecesora Alicia Machado, venezolana que ganó el título en 1996 y en torno a la cual surgió toda una controversia poco después porque había ganado algunos kilitos.
Ella, asegura, no sabe lo que es la dieta de las Miss Venezuela "porque yo tengo la fortuna de no haber hecho ninguna... La verdad que tengo un metabolismo acelerado gracias a Dios, gracias a mi mamá que lo heredé de ella", dice la escultural morena de 1,78 metros, ataviada en un corto vestido negro de Richard Ruiz y accesorios dorados, añadiendo que cada quien tiene un metabolismo distinto.
El mejor consejo de belleza que ha recibido es "tomar mucha agua, ir al gimnasio y comer saludable".
-¿Y qué opina de las cirugías estéticas, que se dice son comunes en el concurso de su país?
Las cirugías plásticas me parece que es decisión propia. El problema está cuando empiezas a tener cirugías para parecerte a alguien más", responde con seriedad.
-¿Se hizo ella alguna para el certamen?
"Preguntarme de eso es como preguntarle a una señora mayor cuántos años tiene... Te puedo decir que tengo 22 años", responde con picardía soltando una carcajada.
Mendoza, quien por primera vez pasará más de seis meses fuera de su casa, vivirá el próximo año en un apartamento en la Gran Manzana con Miss Teen USA, Hilary Cruz, y Miss Estados Unidos, Crystle Stewart.
"Nos llevamos buenísimo, es una persona humana", dijo de la protagonista del segundo resbalón consecutivo de una estadounidense en el certamen internacional.
"Miss USA fue una de las aspirantes con las que pude tener más contacto y me encanta que comparta ahorita la habitación con ella... Nos convertimos en una familia, estuvimos un mes juntas y somos sinceras, somos honestas".
Relató que cuando la vio caer se dijo, "¡Ay, no puede ser otra vez!"
"Pero cuando la vi que se estaba aplaudiendo y que todo el mundo aplaudió me dije ’That’s my girl!’ (Esa es mi chica). Estaba orgullosa".
De su propia participación dijo disfrutar al máximo la noche final, cuando no hizo más que bailar y bailar entre bambalinas.
¿ Será que sabía que iba a ganar una vez que figuró en el cuadro final?
"Sí lo sentí en un instante", confesó, "pero me dije, ’Dayana, si no pasa recuerda que la pasaste bien, que estuviste en Vietnam, que disfrutaste de la cultura de 80 mujeres distintas bellísimas... y que ya llegaste hasta aquí, ya eres ganadora"’.
En el momento decisivo, cuando sólo quedaban ella y la representante de Colombia Taliana Vargas, ambas se agarraron fuertemente de la mano al tiempo que los gobiernos de sus países atravesaban tiempos de tensión.
"Para mí Colombia y Venezuela somos naciones hermanas. Yo a mi hermana la quiero, yo a mi hermana le presto mi champú, me río con ella y a veces también peleo, pero la quiero y siempre es mi hermana".
Su triunfo lo celebró "de la mejor manera después de estar un mes durmiendo cuatro horas todos los días: me acosté a dormir". Y puso la corona junto al televisor frente a su cama.
Apasionada del diseño de interiores, Mendoza ya pidió permiso para remodelar el apartamento de las misses y dijo querer estudiar dicho arte porque "es algo que me está volviendo loca".
"?Te lo juro! Es que yo entro a cualquier habitación y estoy cambiando el color de las paredes y estoy cambiando los sofás de ubicación, estoy cambiando todo".
Lo que no puede cambiar son los escándalos que han explotado en torno a algunas reinas de belleza de este país, como Miss Estados Unidos 2006, Tara Conner, quien se sometió a un tratamiento para el alcoholismo tras darse a conocer que era asidua visitante de los centros nocturnos de Nueva York aun siendo menor de edad.
Sin embargo, confía en que se mantendrá al margen de cualquier controversia sin necesidad de una chaperona.
"La personalidad de cada quien es distinta y claro, somos una niñas, somos unas bebés que por supuesto salimos y vamos a fiestas y nos tomamos uno, dos tragos con los amigos, con tu papá, con tu mamá en Navidad", respondió Mendoza, quien tiene un año más de la edad mínima legal para consumir alcohol en Estados Unidos. "El problema empieza cuando ... dejas de comprender de qué se trata tu trabajo y empiezas a pensar de otra manera".
Su misión este año como representante de la organización Miss Universo consistirá en hacer campaña de concientización contra el VIH/sida.
"Lo que más me emociona es que voy a tener la oportunidad de darle la vuelta al mundo en un año... y lo más especial de esto es que vamos a trabajar con el sida en el mundo entero, tratar de crecer mucho más a la mujer y, yo siendo latina, a la mujer latina por supuesto".
A su país, donde le estarían organizando una gran fiesta de bienvenida, viajaría en septiembre para entregar su corona de Miss Venezuela, que dijo pesa más que la universal.
¿Qué planes tiene cuando termine su gestión como máxima embajadora de la belleza?
"Es que yo quiero hacer tantas cosas que, como decía Oscar Wild, ’definirse a uno mismo es limitarse a uno mismo’. Por eso es que poco a poco voy a ver qué me muestra el camino Dios e iré eligiendo"
Solo una opinión ya bastante repetido: Porque hacen los concursos de Miss Perú World y Universo faltando menos de 5 meses en uno y dos meses en el otro para los respectivos concursos. Y así pretendemos traer una corona nuevamente como el año 2004, Se debería hacer por lo menos con 1 1/2 año de anticipación entre el casting y el concurso en sí, Venezuela hace el casting entre enero y febrero de cada año y en setiembre aprox. eligen a la nueva miss y la misma se prepara cerca de 8 meses de preparación para el concurso internacional del siguiente año.Así debería hacer el Perú, pero en fin , muchas chicas bonitas y altas hay, pero como los concursos son una huachafada ninguna quiere presentarse. Para muestra un botón en la Ulima, si cazatalentos fueran por allá hallarian un monton de chicas altas y agraciadas, pero ojo de ahí que ellas quieran hay mucho trecho,pero intenten nomas. nada pierden. -- Clany (Solo una opinion), Wed, Jul 16 2008, 16:58:16:58:38

Hoy a las 8:00 de la noche se transmite el Miss Universo por Venevisión. La representante criolla habló con PANORAMA desde Vietnam.
Dayana Mendoza camina con soltura por el escenario del Miss Universo. Sus largas piernas bronceadas, cabello largo e impresionantes ojos verdes se complementan con su inteligencia para convertirla en la gran favorita de esta noche en el evento que transmitirá Venevisión a partir de las 8:00.
Desde su llegada a Vietnam, lugar donde se celebra la edición número 57 del máximo concurso de belleza en el mundo, la miss criolla, nacida el 1 de junio de 1986, ha logrado destacarse entre sus compañeras. Para traerle a Venezuela la quinta corona universal tendrá que enfrentarse con miss México, Elisa Nájera, quien al igual que ella encabeza la lista de favoritas.
Desde su habitación en el país asiático la joven modelo habló con PANORAMA sobre su participación en la competencia presidida por el magnate Donald Trump.
“Me siento más segura que nunca. Cuando salgo a las preliminares pienso que soy la dueña del mundo. Nada me detiene. Portar la banda nacional representa todo un orgullo para mí. Les aseguro que los dejaré bien parados”, dijo la chica .
El triunfo de Dayana en el Miss Venezuela no fue ningún batacazo. Se dijo que la muchacha impactó a Osmel Sousa desde que él la vio. Quizás, su preparación en pasarelas y espontánea personalidad fue lo que cautivó al zar de la belleza nacional.
Mendoza no es la típica miss de copete armado, maquillaje excesivo y cirugías por doquier. Ella es más fresca y natural, el prototipo de mujer que busca la organización Miss Universo.
El missólogo Diego Montaldo opina que Sousa tuvo que adaptarse a las nuevas exigencias impuestas por Donald Trump.
“Ya no quieren a la miss prefabricada. Ahora se enfocan en una mujer más sencilla”, manifestó Montaldo.
En cuanto a la convivencia en Vietman, Dayana dijo: “El calor es descomunal. Son más de 35° y todas sudamos a chorros. La comida es muy ligth y aunque no tengo las empanadas ni las arepas, me conformo con el arroz que me dan aquí”.
Cuando la miss Venezuela ganó el desfile en “ao dai” (vestido tradicional de la mujer vietnamita) se sorprendió porque al inicio del desfile se tropezó.
“Yo no le paré a nada y seguí caminando. Lo que hice fue sonreír y ondear la cabellera”, expresó la joven que desea en un futuro incursionar en la animación.
La representante del estado Amazonas en el Miss Venezuela 2007 tiene todo a su favor. El jurado prácticamente está “babeado” por ella. Los portales de internet la dan como sucesora de Riyo Mori, actual Miss Universo.
Esta noche se sabrá el veredicto. Mendoza se mantiene serena y tranquila. “Confío en mí y en las buenas energías que me transmite mi gente bella de Venezuela”, apuntó.
Todo indica que la mala racha dejada por Alicia Machado en 1996 pasará a la historia. ¡Buena suerte, Dayana!
Detalles
La venezolana lucirá en el desfile de gala un traje amarillo de Ángel Sánchez, tipo columna con incrustaciones en el busto.
El estilista Luis Enrique Urbano la asesoró en cuestión de maquillaje. Le recomendó colores cálidos como el coral y el bronce. Dayana marcará sus ojos con un delineado que resaltará su mirada.

This is her most recent blog
SOS. I AM STUCK IN CHINA.
PLEASE HELP ME!
The organizers of the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant are holding me hostage in China. I just called to change my flight and it has been cancelled which means I don’t even have a flight arranged for me to go home in 11 days as previously planned. THE ORGANIZER CANCELLED MY FLIGHT as stated by the airline.
This is a nightmare!
I have been told that it would be “the right thing to do for me to come down to dinner tonight and dine with the rest of the girls so they don’t think that the organizer has abandoned me”.
In reality, they HAVE ABANDONED ME! I have been told that I must find my own way back to Beijing (which is at least 10 hours away by car or rail) because I am not the pageant’s responsibility anymore.
Also, the trains are very unsafe in China and they have told me that I only have the option to fly back to Beijing but that the cost will be completely absorbed by me. This is going to cost about $400 (US) for an hour and a half flight.
Truth be told, I would not be having major stomach cramping and throwing up if the organizer had decided to feed us properly and let us sleep. I was told by Mr. Jerome Too and Mr. Alex Lui that sleep was a luxury. Sleep is necessary for proper health, especially after being jet lagged. They also said that they would never allow another vegetarian contestant to enter the pageant because they were not going to accommodate “special diets”. I never asked once for a “special meal”, all I needed was proper nutrition. They said that I needed to pay to go home. I would not be going home (and directly to an American hospital) if the organizers had taken better care of me.
I worked for Mr. Too and Mr. Lui for 8 days before I was too ill to even get out of bed. Now this is how they repay me.
I have no idea what to do so I’m calling the US Embassy again.
and her blog before that:
Shared Concerns.
I love participating in international beauty pageants but I have some important concerns about this competition. There are 115 girls here with little to no official organization. Each night, we are given a total of 3 to 4 hours to sleep and the girls are getting sick with no medical care. They finally took one of the poor girls to the hospital after 3 days with a serious ailment. Also, we have not had a proper meal in days and all most of us have been eating is bread, cakes, and rice, and french fries. Needless to say, I feel terrible! I rarely eat this but I have to eat something! I am not just being picky either. I don’t know too many people that are willing to try “Sea Cucumber in Blueberry Juice” or “Fermented Bean Skin”. I am trying to maintain my composure and eat what we are fed in order to show respect which is sometimes a very difficult task here. We have no place to buy food during the day either.
Some of the girls have asked for feminine products and we have been unable to buy them. In my eyes, this is totally unacceptable.
Lastly, the security does very little to protect us. They stand around while the Chinese tourists are aggressive with us, poking us and pulling us so we will come take a photo with them. Some of the girls have had their hair pulled by tourists when they tried to walk away! I know they are excited but I do not think it is right to let them do this.
A few of the organizers are constantly rude to us. They bang loudly on the door when the doorbell would do just fine. They are always screaming and stressed out. I realized they are trying to gather over 115 girls but it is unfair to us that they have not planned the events properly before we arrived. There are too many contestants and not enough chaperones to help us with our needs.
Also, the evening gown competition we had a few nights ago was in 40 F (7 C) weather outside. Some of the girls were sick the next morning.
Yesterday, we were required to wear cocktail dresses in freezing weather while we hiked down steep terrain equivilant to the Grand Canyon.
We have visited many businesses to take group photos with the staff but we never actually get to experience the tourist sites which is very disappointing since China is such a beautiful country and we have only seen it from the bus rides.
We have no formal itinerary and no idea what the wear, where to go, or what city we a currently in. Currently, I have no idea where I am.
Most of the girls have been unable to call home because they cannot find a shop to buy an international phone card and no one seems to help the problem. After 5 days, someone finally bought the girls phone cards but they were for domestic use only and were not useful to call home. With all of the international news about China, it is very important for everyone’s parents to know that they are safe and well.
Thankfully, I have a phone that works internationally at all times. I have let some of the girls use my phone because they cannot call their families otherwise.
They took our passports for “safe keeping”. The real reason they take the passports is so we cannot decide to go home on our own.
It is possible that the pageant was recently changed to new hands but it seems like the organization as a whole is half hearted and that they do not truly care about our well being. They seemed to have thrown this pageant together in a matter of weeks because the planning has been awful. I feel bad for the few members of the staff that truly have their heart in assisting the girls and making this an enjoyable experience for everyone. There is a very special woman from Australia who has been extremely helpful to all of us and she is the only one I feel safe with.
All I am asking for is a good wholesome meal and 8 hours of sleep.

It is quite true actually! Hoda told me that the conditions are not very good in China and many girls are falling sick including herself! Her back hurts from mountain climbing everyday and it is a fact that Miss America, Miss South Africa and Miss Korea are leaving the competition! this has never happened before in any grand slam pageant!!! Hoda will stay in bed today as she needs her rest, she will have to miss the Miss Charm contest. I hope she gets well soon!! (NT) -- fan-man, 10:24:18 04/03/08 Thu
MTQI IS NOT A GRAND SLAM PAGEANT -- Hado, 08:02:35 04/04/08 Fri
I really hope Hoda gets well soon and I commend her on staying strong throughout this pageant. MTQI is only considered a Grandslam pageant by Global Beauties and that's only because both MTQI and GB are in business (extensive coverage on the GB site earns Brazil and Fernando de Narronha high placements and better treatment, as well as Henrique Fontes a free trip). I find the whole matter really cheap and unprofessional. Amy also wrote that she heard the organizers saying there will only be a Top 5! Out of 100+ ladies? LoL! In 2006 MU had a Top 20 and only 80 ladies competed! I think MTQI has hurt themselves a lot, not only with how they treat their contestants day by day but also in how they react to issues addressed by contestants. Anyways, I still wish Hoda all the best and I hope she can turn this sour pageant into a sweet experience. I know she can. =) (NT) -- Aiden*, 09:10:50 04/04/08 Fri
MTQI CRAP pageant will have only TOP 5 because the REST will be SICK...they may not even have 5 girls healthy enough to stand on the stage....do they have a stage? (NT) -- NO KIDDING, 19:55:21 04/04/08 Fri
I'm sorry to hear what happened to Hoda. I was in a hibernate for quite a long time and did not know that these things happened. (NT) -- Jwes, 17:53:26 06/07/08 Sat
That's really bad. I think it's not worth sending your delegates there next year. (NT) -- Filipino fan, 06:16:12 04/04/08 Fri
OMG! This is the price of FREE AIR FARE Tickets. I agree, NO NEED to send Miss Egypt in MTQI if the organizers will treat the delegates like a CARNAVAL ATTRACTIONS (NT) -- An American Fan, 12:59:41 04/06/08 Sun

• MISS EGYPT'S TURN : Another former contestant of Miss Tourism Queen International 2008 is speaking out against the injustices she had experienced at the pageant in China. Egypt's Hoda Kaiser, 23, below, wrote an e-mail to Amy Lynne Holbrook who forwarded it to me. Hoda gave me permission to publish her e-mail, and here it is:
"Hi Amy. Great to hear from you. I am back in my country and have adapted to normal food and my regular life. It’s a wonderful feeling to know what you eat and drink and people understand me and last but not least to be back with my family and of course my fiancée.
Sure, with great pleasure I am telling you my point of view of the story. I had the great opportunity to visit a five-star hospital in China, when I fell from the steps in the mountains. I injured my lower back and I was racked with pain. They brought to a hospital where I had an enthusiastic reception from a dead body on the floor in the entrance of the hospital (no joke). After the x-ray the doctor gave me a spray (of course the list of ingredients and the administration of the spray was all written in Chinese). But the highlight was the letter which I was supposed to give to my doctor in Egypt to summarize the accident and the injury; all in Chinese. By the way, the same spray was given to all girls who suffered from whatever, even a flu. Well, that’s the story about the hospital which I do not recommend for a visit.
The other thing which revealed how inhospitable in particular the organizer of the pageant was the preferential treatment we experienced once the contest was over. No security any longer, a real disgusting bus, no company any longer, a barrack (however they still considered it a hotel), and they promised us at the final night, that we do not have to pay for our excess luggage, which in fact anyone of us had, on the flight from Zheng Zhou to Beijing. The next day when we arrived at the airport and went to check in our luggage, suddenly we were told that we have to pay for excess luggage. It took us three hours shouting and yelling to Christine to get what we were promised the other night. Bottom line, we were no longer treated as beauty queens once the whole event was over, rather we were treated like cows in a slaughter house. These things are just the tip of the ice-berg but they give a perfect impression of what really happened plus the Chinese expect from us that we are going to recommend China as a lovely and hospitable country for tourists (hahahaha….).
By the way I plan to visit the states in the summer. If you have time we could meet somewhere and you show me a little bit of California. I am sure you are way better guide than any Chinese.
It was also a pleasure for me to meet you, regardless of all adverse circumstances, and of course all the other girls too, and maybe one or two friendship will result. Talk to you later! Hoda."

Well, as I said before, Hoda and the other ladies showed courage under fire at MTQI. I'm glad she is safe and sound and is enjoying life now. As for MTQI, I think serious thought should be made on what to do about this pageant. I suggest not sending an Egyptian rep. anymore. Anyways, congratulations to Hoda for doing a great job in China! (NT) -- Aiden*, 07:23:36 05/05/08 Mon
What a terible experience, I Hope Face 2 face would be careful ssending a delegate next time to any pageants like this (NT) -- Jwes, 17:49:08 06/07/08 Sat

• THE AMERICAN GIRL : Amy Holbrook, left, the American representative to the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant taking place in China, decided to withdraw from the competition last Tuesday (April 1st) after the organizers discovered that she had been writing unfavorable comments about the pageant in her blog. Amy cites that the candidates were being subjected to 3 to 4 hours of sleep, to poor nutrition, to freezing temperatures without proper attire, to minimal security, and to poor medical care. She also wrote that one of the organizers, Jerome Too was rude to her and told her that vegetarian girls like herself would not be allowed to compete next year. The organizers even attempted to persuade her to take down her blog and also gave her the option to maintain her blog - but on the condition that she retract her statements. Holbrook decided to keep her blog as it is, citing freedom of expression.
Global Beauties, which covers the pageant, published a comment written by its correspondent Thiago Castro in which Castro denounces Amy and calls her statements "baseless." Castro also posted an "official statement" from MTQI organizers that was supposedly sent to all the national directors:
"We would like to inform you that Miss America's allegations and claims are not true and baseless. We'd like to say that this event is organized by the Henan Government and Henan TV station and their expectations are high for the contest as well as the contestants. They have spent millions in US$ in terms of round-trip fare for the candidates to come to their respective countries, international journalists as well their local journalists which include hotel stays and food and beverages. The China organizers have done their best to make all welcome both contestants and the 120 journalists from the international and national press that are currently with us. This event is high publicized. We provide sufficient and top grade meals for all contestants. We have big buffets spreads which consist of good food and in her case, plenty of vegetables, salads, fruits and soya based food. We do not feed bugs, dogs, cats and "Fear Factor" meals to our guests, journalists and contestants. There are sufficient security provide by both police and army. Last year alone, they activated 10,000 security personnel for the pageant. However sometimes there are occasional overzealous locals who tend to pull the contestants to snap photos with but usually this contestant who are being "harassed" will be ushered away by the chaperones. We have a trained doctor, paramedics and the ambulance are with us at all times during activities that the candidates are involved in. Should they be sick, they are immediately attended to. Other issues about phones cards of which this can be purchased at hotel concierge or gift stores. This will include feminine products as well. If the hotel do not have any available, they can approach the chaperones who will get the hotel to purchase for them on their behalf. Many of you have worked with us over the years and you know we are very strict and look after your girls well so we do not allow such things to happen. I have journalist here with us who can vouch that what was written in the blog mostly was a pack of lies. I will attach their comments in my next email for your judgment. Attached is also the Founder of Miss Tourism Queen International, Mr. Charlie See' wife who has given us her thoughts".
MISS TOURISM QUEEN INTERNATIONAL TOP GRADE MEALS: FUNGUS MIXED WITH WALL NUTS! YUM YUM!
Amy reposted the above statement in her blog and called it a "public relations nightmare." Notice that the statement insists that the pageant is highly publicized by "120 journalists from the international and national press." I just searched for "miss tourism queen," "miss tourism queen international," "miss tourism," and "mtqi" in the News section of Yahoo and Google and I didn't see any links to a coverage in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French - languages spoken by over a billion people. Global Beauties is the only pageant site that offers full coverage; the other sites could care less. Notice, too, how the writer admits to a lapse in security while referring to "occasional overzealous locals who tend to pull the contestants to snap photos." Sufficient security does not always translate to guaranteed security, as the contestants could get hurt especially if they were pulled aggressively. Imagine international athletes being treated like this when they come to China for the Summer 2008 Olympics. And why is there only one "trained doctor?" In her blog, Amy describes the substandard conditions in a local hospital to which she was taken after she had experienced stomach ache. It seems that there was not even one good doctor to examine a patient suffering from a simple stomach ache that, according to Amy, was caused "by lack of sleep and food poisoning."
MTQI WORLD CLASS HOSPITAL... THE MTQI STANDARD
What I'd like to know is who exactly wrote the so-called "official statement" from MTQI. Notice how the statement starts with the collective "We" and ends with a singular "I." Why weren't the names of the MTQI organizers Jerome Too and Alex Liu mentioned in the statement? And more importantly, why is the statement not even posted in the official MTQI website? The statement ends with a reference to an attachment - a letter supposedly written by Ann See, the widow of MTQI founder Charlie See. What exactly did Mrs. See say and why is her letter not posted on Global Beauties or MTQI websites?
After being held "hostage" in China for a couple of days, Amy was finally able to fly out of China and returned safely in Los Angeles last Saturday. Another contestant, Miss South Africa Alyssa Revelo, also withdrew from the pageant "due to medical reasons," according to Global Beauties, although one would suspect that she had also gotten ill due to food poisoning. Reliable sources informed me that nearly twenty candidates also wanted to leave, but that their passports were being held by the organizers. It would be interesting to see new stories come out once the pageant is over on April 10th, that is if all the girls (except the winner and runners-up) get to leave safely!
thats just AWFUL! i feel sorry for Hoda and all the other girls!! (NT) -- fan-man, 14:19:17 04/07/08 Mon
Is this real? (NT) -- Jwes, 17:46:36 06/07/08 Sat

• MISS BOLIVIA SPEAKS UP : In an interview with a local press, Bolivia's representative to Miss Tourism Queen International 2008, Katherine David, revealed some anecdotes when asked what the worst part of her stay in China was. David said that the change in schedule had affected all the candidates to the point that it caused them hormonal imbalance. David, who will represent Bolivia in Miss Universe 2008 in Vietnam, stated that she had water retention which caused her body to be bloated. She also fell hard while getting off the bus because her chaperone had pulled her quite violently, thus tearing off her pants. (Santa Cruz de la Sierra, 4/16/2008)
• SAIDIA SPEAKS UP : A former contestant of Miss Tourism Queen International 2007, El Salvador's Saidia Palma,, left, (a former Miss Mesoamerica International), wrote an e-mail to her friend Miguel Castro-Rivera, a CB reader, in which she recounts her misadventures in China last year. This is in reference to the claims reported by Amy Lynne Holbrook in her blog. Miguel forwarded Saidia's e-mail to me (originally in Spanish and dated April 8, 2008) and that Miguel has translated into English:
"Hello, Miguel. I am speechless about what is going on in China and to tell you the truth, it is not strange to me, since what the girls are going through now, we lived it last year. That has been the worst pageant that I have gone to. If it was up to me, I would tell the delegates not to participate in it and to the directors NOT TO SEND ANYBODY!
Seriously, reading what Amy has written just reminded me what we experienced in China. I was counting the weeks, the days, the hours, and even the minutes just to leave with Miss Colombia. Each day that went by was a day closer to go home, and as tragic as this may sound, it is the truth. We did not have enough sleep. Many times we were under the rain almost naked with the uniforms they had provided, and we could not wear the coats because they told us that we could not take them out with us from the bus.
Regarding food, they had a huge buffet, Chinese style, but many girls did not like their offered food. Many girls were not used to this kind of food. I tried a little bit of everything, but as you know everyone’s digestive system is different, and there are some stomachs more sensitive than others and are accustomed to certain kinds of food. The buffet should have been an international cuisine to accommodate all the girls from different parts of the world. How do they expect people to tolerate and eat food that we are not accustomed to, and for a full month?
In that trip I spent a lot of money in cookies to kill my hunger when I was starving (hahaha). We were complaining about the food, the poor attention, the hotels (I believe we stayed in ONE-STAR hotel, where it was written on the door of the room that they recommended to lock the door and windows because the hotel would not be responsible if any thing should happen. What was that all about? And where was security? In reality we felt like as if we were in a circus tour, where every other day we would travel to a different place and we never knew where we were. Sometimes we were sleeping on the buses, there were some nights I could not sleep at all, and many times because we would arrive at midnight and they gave us one hour to put together our suitcases again because the next day we were going some place else. The wake-up call was at 4:00 AM. Cn you imagine going to bed as early as 2:00 AM to wake up at 4:00 AM?
This pageant was something else, and if I tried to tell you everything I would never finish, but be assured that I had 90% similar experience to what the girls are experiencing now. The only good thing about this pageant is that because of the bad experience we got closer among each other and became close friends with some of the girls and that made up for the moment, but not for everything else. I would NEVER go back to that pageant, not even if were I crazy! I am so happy that Amy is back home and released herself from all that stress. Give her my greetings and a big hug for you!"
--------------------------
now tell me that Amy Holbrook is still a lying spoiled brat
An MTQI supporter confirmed that 5 candidates left, and said, it's only 5, what kind of a reputable pageant looses that amount of candidates
