miss korea has a very sweet face. i know that in asia, india,philippines are the one dwelling on stages when it comes to pageants. i actually expected a lot of asians this year in MU. although i am a venezuelan, i am not actually gracefull about the latinaz entering the spots this year. i was disappointed not seeing filipins on top 20. also singapore. altough thailand,india were bonus. i think korea should have placed the top.although i cant deny the XFactor Japan had. Well, wish korea alot in next years.

Subject: MISS WORLD
Author: MEXICANITA [Edit]	Date Posted: 13:37:39 06/07/07 Thu To: Julia Morley, c/o Miss World Ltd. In 1973, Marjorie Wallace of the United States of America was crowned Miss World. The first runner-up was Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines. On the 8th of March, 1974, Ms. Wallace was dethroned because of her penchant to date famous men, which included tennis star Jimmy Connors and singer Tom Jones. Ideally, the title should have been awarded to at the very least the first runner-up, Ms. Pascual. This however was not the case, and Ms. Wallace remains the official title-holder for 1973 to this day. In 1992, Claire Smith of the United Kingdom competed at the Miss World pageant in Sun City, South Africa. She was declared first runner-up, while Russia's Yuliya Kurochkina was named the winner. The problem was that the jury voted in favor of Ms. Smith (a few jurors later admitted this, despite them swearing beforehand not to contest the final decision), but the Miss World Organization chose to give the crown to Ms. Kurochkina. It is unfair and hypocritical for Ms. Wallace to retain the Miss World 1973 title. This is because at the 1974 finals, Helen Morgan of the United Kingdom won the crown only to be dethroned for covering up the fact that she was both married and a mother, contravening Miss World policy. Six years later, Germany's Gabrielle Blum won the crown, but was stripped of it within a matter of days for agreeing to marry her boyfriend. Their respective runners-up, Anneline Kriel of South Africa and Kimberley Santos of Guam, assumed their crowns and responsibilites, and as such are named official winners for their respective editions of the pageant. There have been some allegations that Evangeline Pascual was not awarded the title because of the fact that she is from the Philippines, and that ever since there has been a conspiracy within Miss World to thwart a Filipina from ever winning the title. It smacks of irresponsibility to overturn the decision of the judges. Many contend that Ms. Kurochkina's coronation was politically motivated. At the time of the pageant, it was nearing the one-year anniversary of the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. According to a program called "Whicker's Miss World", the judges, including Joan Collins, did not agree with the decision to award Ms. Kurochkina the crown. Ms. Collins even stated that the majority of the jurors, when prompted, casted their votes in favor of Ms. Smith. In fact, a replay of the 1992 pageant shows that Ms. Smith outdid Ms. Kurochkina in virtually every aspect of the competition. Despite what others think of the pageant itself, we, the undersigned, believe that the Miss World pageant is a wonderful celebration of womanhood in all its forms. But we also believe that an organization as prolific as the Miss World Organization should conduct its practices with the utmost integrity. Therefore, we ask that Ms. Julia Morley and the MWO retroactively give the 1973 title to Evangeline Pascual, and to be fair to Ms. Kurochkina, declare her and Ms. Smith co-Miss Worlds for 1992. While such a change in the rostrum is academic at best, it would go a long way for closure and would ensure that future editions of the world-renowned Miss World pageant will be conducted with the same grace and integrity that is expected of the women who compete for the crown. Sincerely, The Undersigned

Guys, there's an awesome new website that has some of the most beautiful crowns and tiaras I have ever seen!

I already own several of these and I must say they are stunning.

The most recent crown I purchased was their version of the crown Princess Diana used on her wedding day.

They also have beauty pageant crowns and tiaras for brides, dubutants and even for use in movies and theatre.

This is their web site, enjoy!

Subject: Why Terrific Theresa Got Lost In The Universe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Total overhaul needed

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

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

Intensive training

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

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

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

Author: xxx [Edit]	Date Posted: 18:35:01 05/30/07 Wed Regarding Mexico and the Mexicans. I feel sorry for the good citizens of Mexico who did not boo and who cheered Rachel, however, you will have to take the brunt for a few days because as you know, the many suffer for the deeds of a few. Just like the hooligans could not differentiate between politics and the pageant, don't expect the worldwide audience to differentiate between the good people and the hooligans. In the world's eyes, Mexico was a disgrace as a host. Even though Mexico prides itself as being a leader in the Latin word, perhaps its citizens can learn a thing or two from three of the smaller nations in Latin America. Puerto Rico in 2002: Miss Puerto Rico did not make the semis and the crowd, instead of booing or throwing a tantrum, picked a new favorite. Most people rooted for Russia, Panama or China. In 2003 the wonderful people of Panama saw their own girl make Top 15 but not advance after that. They never booed anyone. But a great example of true class was in 2004 in Quito. The beautiful Miss Ecuador made the Top 10 and the crowd was wild. Miss Ecuador that year was a hundred times more attractive than this year's Miss Mexico and yet did not make Top 5. The crowd did not boo a single top 5, which included Miss USA, Shandi Finnissey. So Mexico, you may be bigger in land and influence, but on Monday you were last in class and sophistication and should learn from the Puerto Ricans, Panamanians and Ecuadorians.

Dear friends of the world, please vote at the Asiaone's contest Singapore. It's a simple down-to-earth contest for people from all walks of life. Just for fun if you have time.

I've met the contestants, meanwhile, Stacie,Jeanette and Bernard are great and kind people while Norman was kinda snob.

All the best @@
Thank you.

Author: I'm proud to be from the USA [Edit]	Date Posted: 11:20:56 05/29/07 Tue First off let me say that the country of Mexico and the host City should be embarrassed of themselves. It was totally ridiculous that Miss USA was booed when she came to the microphone to answer her question. It shows that Hispanics are totally disrespectful and the pageant should never be held in the country again. I'm so sorry that your country's queen didn't make the top-5, she didn't deserve to be there. Karma came back to bite you in the butt didn't it!! Are do you Hispanics even know what the work karma means? And for the falling incident, it happens people. Wake up and smell the coffee, she got up and handled herself like a professional. I think someone owes Miss USA a huge apology!
