>>>>..... DONDE ESTA XIMENA NAVARRETE, MISS MEXICO UNIVERSE 2010????.....<<< -- FAN, 17:48:43 11/17/09 Tue(CPE0016cbc47455-CM0011e67c2665.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com/173.34.1.36)

Sobre Ximena..... con X de MeXico!!!
Aca todos opinamos de las reinas electas recientemente. En este foro damos cabida a las reinas internacionales y no solo mexicanas.
Comentamos mil cosas de nuestras reinas MEXICANAS que en estos momentos estan compitiendo en los certamenes mas importantes: Miss International, Miss Earth y Miss Universe.
Todo mundo es "experto" en moda e imagen al ver a nuestras reinas compitiendo y lastimosamente no solo tenemos que aguantar los ataques extranjeros, sino de los malinchistas tambien!!! Y creo que estos son peores...... Se dedican a la criticadera de nuestras reinas mexicanas ya en accion, y a esas alturas ya no hay mucho que hacer.
Realmente ni les importa el desempeño de las mexicanas en certamenes internacionales. Si realmente nos importan, "la PRESION" debemos ejercerla MUCHO ANTES!!!
Pero por que no nos preguntamos que estan haciendo las reinas electas este año que competiran para el 2010???...... Como se estan preparando???
Como aficionados mexicanos, creo que la mayoria nos tragamos ese cuento de que las preparan por UN AÑO ENTERO!!! Y no es verdad! De hecho es una GRAN MENTIRA!!!..... que no nos engañen ni nos dejemos engañar.
Yo no daba credito cuando me entere que despues de la eleccion en Septiembre, nuestras reinas tienen "vacaciones" y tiempo para "asimilar" y convivir con sus familias, que es un "tiempo para que se empiecen a adaptar" al cambio de vida que experimentan toda reina electa.
El año pasado eso hicieron con Karla Carrillo y con Perla Beltran...... Las dos se "relajaron" bastante. Cuando llegaron a la concentracion ya habian perdido la DISCIPLINA. Hubo que empezar de nuevo.
Que cuando fue la concentracion???.... Tengo entendido que hasta ENERO de 2008!!!! Casi CUATRO MESES despues de la eleccion!!!.....CUATRO PRECIOSOS MESES que no se usaron en preparacion intensiva.
CUATRO MESES no parece mucho, pero en cuestion de preparacion de reinas de belleza, un dia es CLAVE!!!.... Ese tiempo es importantisimo para que nuestras reinas "les caiga el veinte"....... Es una realidad confirmada que nuestras reinas no llegan 100% maduras a sus respectivas competencias. Despues que regresan de sus respectivas competencias, pasa un año o dos, maduran y se ven MARAVILLOSAS!!!!..... Nuestras reinas mexicanas necesitan tiempo de maduracion.
Cuando una chica gana un certamen de belleza, adquiere un compromiso, pero tambien firma UN CONTRATO DE TRABAJO!..... O sea, en cualquier trabajo, cuando a uno lo contratan, no te dan vacaciones!!! Hellooooooooo!!! Inmediatamente te ponen a trabajar!!!!
CUATRO MESES se pierden....... en esos cuatro meses se puede aprender ingles!!! En cuatro meses se puede trabajar un mega cuerpazo!!! En cuatro meses se puede desarrollar un estilo, en cuatro meses se pueden hacer muchas cosas..... Pero lo mas importante, que si esos cuatro meses se usaran para preparacion INTENSIVA, nuestras reinas llegarian muchisimo mas maduras.
Las reinas MEXICANAS tienen belleza!!! Eso es un hecho que se confirma año con año. Por eso las MEXICANAS son favoritas mundiales. Van muy bien preparadas, eso no se puede negar. La Organizacion Nuestra Belleza Mexico hace un excelente trabajo que es RECONOCIDO INTERNACIONALMENTE. Aficionados de todas partes del mundo "envidian" a Mexico por nuestra ONBM y la infraestructura y los recursos. Todo reciben en bandeja de plata nuestras reinas.
Entonces que esta fallando???
Pues yo creo que nada........ Pero si creo que hay que EXIGIR mas a nuestras reinas electas, pero no se trata de darles ordenes...... Yo lo que les exigiria es que "no se duerman en sus laureles", que se pongan a trabajar!!!
Aca en nuestro querido foro Miss Mexico Everywhere a diario se recibe la queja de que NO hay fotos de reinas mexicanas, que hay muchas de otras reinas, que si el foro ya no parece mexicano, etc....... Pero que le vamos a hacer??? La realidad es que NO hay fotos de nuestras reinas mexicanas, sobre todo de las electas este año....... No sabemos absolutamente NADA de ellas.
Afortunadamente hay aficionados que le tienen amor a nuestra aficion y los habemos en todas partes, y pues de vez en cuando da la casualidad y coincidencia que alguien toma fotos de nuestras reinas electas en alguna actividad, tal como hoy sucede con las fotos de Anabel Solis, quien concursara en Miss World 2010...... Esas fotos las vemos gracias a algun aficionado que estuvo presente en esa pasarela. De otra maner NUNCA nos hubieramos enterado. En este caso que bueno que Anabel se mantiene activa en ese tipo de eventos. Eso le da "tablas".
Video "collage" con imagenes "antigüas" de nuestras reinas mexicanas y Ximena:
Pero donde esta Jimena Navarrete????
Espero que este bien....... Pero que esta haciendo para prepararse para ir a Miss Universe 2010???
Jimena es HERMOSA!!!.... Tiene muy buena pasarela. Puede expresarse articuladamente y con inteligencia. Es una chica preparada...... Pero para ir a un Miss Universe tiene que desarrollar otras cosas.
Espero que POR ELLA MISMA este preparandose estos tres o cuatro meses que les dan de "vacaciones".
Yo no quiero volver a vivir el dolor de ser testigo de un descalabro como el de Karla Carrillo, a quien le sobraba belleza y preparacion, tal como sucedia con Miss Russia y otras chicas que "misteriosamente" fueron eliminadas del top 15 dando paso a chicas que NADIE esperaba que clasificaran.
Entonces las enviamos preparadas y nos las "eliminan" jueces parcializados influenciados por intereses internos de MU, Trump y sus secuaces.
Jimena tiene que enfrentarse a toda esa "maquinaria"..... Jimena compite como la mayoria de las delegadas, sin "palancas", ni "el peso de una banda"........ no le queda mas que preparse y prepararse.
Jimena tiene un enorme potencial. Es una bellisima reina nacional, pero yo y muchos otros queremos que se desarrolle como reina internacional!!!!

Pues no se ustedes, pero yo tengo la impresion de que esta es la primera vez que UNA REINA MEXICANA va de puntera en todas las listas de preferencias de las casas de apuestas!!!
Ni Dafne Molina tuvo tanta popularidad.
Ahora, no podemos cantar victoria antes de tiempo. Que EN ESTE PRECISO momento Perla va de puntera es una cosa, y otra muy diferente es el resultado final de Miss World 2009, o sea lo que finalmente decide el jurado.
Caso 1
Recordemos que en años anteriores varias chicas estaban de punteras por semanas, como el caso de la hermosa reina mundial y universal de la belleza, la dominicana Ada Aimee de la Cruz, que era la ganadora en Miss World 2007-2008 de acuerdo a las casas de apuestas.....y ZAZ!!!.... en la recta final, a horas de la final cambiaron las posiciones y la dominicana se quedo aplaudiendo.
Caso 2
El año pasado, paso algo muy parecido con la hermosisima Miss Ukraine, que por belleza todo mundo la daba por ganadora meses antes de la final. Pero conforme se desarrollo el certamen en Sudafrica, la que se coloco de puntera fue la tambien bellisima Ksenia, de Rusia. La rusa se mantuvo de puntera en buena parte de los dias de la realizacion del certamen y de puntera nunca bajo!!! Y al final gano!!!
Algo muy interesante que ha ocurrido en los ultimos años es que ENTRE las finalistas y ganadoras de las competencias preliminares llamadas "fast tracks", se encuentran LAS FINALISTAS Y LAS GANADORA de Miss World. Los "fast tracks" iniciaron en Miss World 2003.
Ejemplos de delegadas que ganaron o figuraron en fast tracks y al final estuvieron en el cuado del top 5 y ganadoras de Miss World:
2003
Ganadora de Miss World Beach Beauty 2003 > > > Miss Ireland, Rosanna Davison > > > Ganadora de Miss World 2003
Ganadora de Miss Sports 2003 > > > Miss Canada, Nazanin Afshin Jam > > > > > > > > Primera Finalista de Miss World 2003

2005
Segunda Finalista de Miss World Beach Beauty 2005 > > > Miss MEXICO, Dafne Molina > > > Primera Finalista de Miss World 2005
En esta año fue una sorpresa que Miss Puerto Rico, Ingrid Rivera resultara la segunda finalista considerando que NO figuro en nada!!!!.... Lo mismo paso con Miss Iceland, Unnur Birna Vilhjálmsdóttir, que NO figuro en nada, resulto ser la ganadora de Miss World 2005.

PRE-JUDGING at MISS EARTH HAS STARTED -- B, 23:19:41 11/16/09 Mon(c-24-34-81-76.hsd1.ma.comcast.net/24.34.81.76)
WHAT MAKES MISS EARTH UNIQUE and DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CONVENTIONAL and TRADITIONAL BEAUTY PAGEANTS? Here are some of the reasons:
1.) The girls are judged all throughout the pageant. There are chaperons, staff, "secret judges", and even bus drivers who are tasked by the organizers to select their top 18. No favoritism from the pageant owners or whatever. The interesting part is that the girls are not aware of who they are.
2.) Special competitions for EVENING GOWN, Photogenic, Swimsuit and other special prizes that happened this past weeks HAS NO BEARING to the actual judging and selection of the top 18. This has happened in the past edition of Miss Earths wherein previous Miss Photogenics, special award winners, etc did not even made it to the top 16. So those whiners and bashers, please stop the sour-grape and wait til the actual pageant on Saturday.
3.) The girls are judged during a special and separate preliminary competition in evening gown, swimsuit and interview. The Girls are mandated NOT TO WEAR MAKE UP. I personally think that this is an awesome idea because Miss Earth is looking for the most natural beauties to be crowned Miss Earth.
Each contestant from 80 countries around the world was judged during a "closed-door" preliminaries to select 18 semi finalists, who will vie for the coveted title of Miss Earth 2009. The contestants was scored based on their presentation (with no make-up) in Swimsuit, Evening Gown and Interview.

Former supermodel to be Miss Earth jury member
18:21' 18/11/2009 (GMT+7)
VietNamNet Bridge – Elite Vietnam’s manager and former supermodel Thuy Hanh has agreed to join the jury for the Miss Earth 2009 pageant in the Philippines.
Thuy Hanh
She went to Philippines on November 18 to meet the organizing board and contestants.
Hanh said she gained some experience as a jury member of the Miss Intercontinental pageant in the past but she was still nervous because Miss Earth is among the largest beauty contests in the world.
The Vietnamese former supermodel and other jury members will have to choose the top contestants of the pageant.
The final night of Miss Earth 2009 will take place on November 22 on Boracay Island in the Philippines. Thuy Hanh will be there in a night gown designed by Hoang Hai. On November 11, the Vietnamese jurywoman will be interviewed and shot in a video clip to broadcast on the final night.
This is the second time Vietnam has been represented in the jury of the Miss Earth pageant. The first is Nguyen Cong Khe, former chief editor of the Thanh Nien daily in 2007.
Truong Thi May
Meanwhile, model Truong Thi May, who missed the pageant due to an accident, was invited to be a guest at the final night.
THE HUNT FOR "EARTH WOMAN" BEGINS ~
by Giovanni Paolo J. Yazon
Contributor
AN inclement weather usually affects the attendance of people to an event. But it was a different story during the Miss Earth 2009 press presentation of candidates, held at Mader’s Garden in Valle Verde last Nov. 4.
The heavy rain showers wet-dirtied the constructed runway, stage as well as the lavishly set up audience seats at the garden area. It also delayed the show for an hour. But the tremendous downpour did not stop members of media and fervent Miss Earth followers from trooping the residence of style guru Ricky Reyes in Pasig City.
The number of candidates who will vie for the crown currently worn by our very own Karla Paula Henry has skyrocketed to 80 this year! But one thing has not changed: Miss Earth continues to remind us that beauty is neither just about wearing two-piece swimsuits and shimmering evening gowns, nor what’s inside the contestants’ makeup bags. It has more to do with what are in their hearts, and how can they preserve and protect the environment.
With the racks and ruins brought about by tropical storms Ondoy and Pepeng recently, this “search for a cause,†established in 2001 by Carousel Productions Inc., seeks to amplify the message that, “Mother Earth is telling us something.†Ramon Monzon, the organization’s president, said: “There were warnings in the past which most of us ignored and were complacent about. The recurring abnormal weather pattern around us is a reminder that we can never afford to wait until the worst-case scenario happens. We must act with urgency.†Executive vice president Lorraine Schuck added: “We can all contribute by simply changing our lifestyle and seriously implement the 4Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and [above all] RESPECT.â€
Notable changes
The organization also welcomed its new vice president for external affairs, image consultant and former model Ping Valencia. She replaced the “grand dame of beauty,†Joji Felix Velarde, who died of cardiac arrest last May. A new crown will also be unveiled on pageant night. Jeweller Ramona Haar crafted the Miss Earth tiara for this year, and designed necklaces and earrings that symbolize the earth, air, water and fire—all of which will be worn by the top four winners during official functions.
Instead of the top 16-8-4 selection process being done since 2005, 18 ladies will be picked to go on in the semis this year. From among them, 12 will be chosen for the evening gown, and then eight will move to the final round—the interview segment—to determine the three runners-up and the winner. The coronation night will be held outside of Luzon for the first time. It will conclude in the island of Boracay, Western Visayas.
18 roses
The grand staircase in Reyes’ magnificent home became the backdrop of this year’s press presentation. The event proved to be so intense for the candidates who seemed to have already battled it out for the semi-final slots. Here are 18 Earth women who are deemed capable of doing Karla Henry’s tough job:
Belgium’s Isabel van Hoof, 18, is a dead-ringer for pop princess Britney Spears. She pursues a degree in elementary education at the Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen in the province of Antwerpen; Larissa Ramos of Brazil, 19, is a biology student at the Universidad Federal de Amazonas.
Canada’s Lateesha Khamila Ector, 25, is a customer service agent who graduated with a degree in psychology at the Concordia University in Montreal. She describes herself as a big melting pot: “My father is a Venezuelan while my mother has Chinese and Scottish parentage. My parents were both born in Trinidad and Tobago and their respective families migrated to Canada in the ’70s.â€
Alejandra Castillo de Munera of Colombia, 22, a political science major at the Universidad Libre de Colombia, wants to become a lawyer someday, “to strengthen the environmental laws in my country, and if possible, in the whole world to ensure a better place for the future generationsâ€; Czech Republic’s Tereza Budkova, 18, is a stunning high school student who grew up in Greece.
Jamillette Gaxiola of Cuba, 19, is a top bet by most Miss Earth aficionados. She is a communications major at the Community College of Southern Nevada; France’s Magalie Thierry, 22, has Spanish and German roots. She is completing a master’s degree in biology and ecology. She wants to become an educator someday.
Shriya Kishore of India, a 23-year-old hotelier, has a way with words ala Sushmita Sen. She obtained her hotel management degree at the Manipal University in Karnataka state; 22-year-old fashion design student Yeju Park of Korea, a taller and leaner version of actress Ara Mina, believes that “it is possible for progress and nature to go hand in hand.â€
Diana Kubasova, 20, comes from a wealthy family. She became popular in Latvia after starring in a local TV show. Often likened to Paris Hilton, she owns “Lilly Pet,†a pet boutique and spa; Theodora Banica of Luxembourg, 21, is a psychology major at the University of Luxembourg. She is a cross between TV host Donita Rose and Hollywood actress-cum-humanitarian Audrey Hepburn.
Our very own Sandra Inez Suravilla Seifert, 25, is a registered nurse who earned her degree at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York. If Venezuela had a back-to-back victory in Miss Universe, why couldn’t we have it in Miss Earth? After all, the best Miss Universe we never had is so prepared—evidently witty, voluptuous, speaks from the heart, and proves that Asians can have impressive runway skills.
Spain’s Alejandra Echevarria Pedrajas, 20, is a business administration student and a professional singer. The organizers of Miss Spain pageant was supposed to send her in Miss International, but Pedrajas preferred to participate in Miss Earth, “because it fits my personality, not to mention my enthusiasm with nature and great interest in the preservation of the environment.â€
At 6 feet and 5 inches, Aheu Deng Kudum, 18, of South Sudan now holds the record being the tallest woman ever to participate in an international beauty pageant. The feat of this high school student has been submitted to the Guinness World Records for inclusion and certification as the “World’s Tallest Beauty Queenâ€; To outdo the performance of Miriam Odemba who finished second overall last year, Tanzania sent Evelyne Almasi here in Manila, a 24-year-old model. Her tree-inspired ensemble won Best in National Costume.
Thailand’s Rujinan Phanseethum, 20, is a junior communication arts student at the Bangkok University. She looks like a porcelain doll and has an understated class, and loveliness; and after wins in Miss Universe and Miss Intercontinental, Venezuela might experience another rich harvest season in Miss Earth, with Jessica Cristina Barboza Schmidt, a 22-year-old lawyer.
United States’ Amy Diaz, 25, is a strong contender for the Best in Swimsuit award, what with her well-toned body. A semi-finalist in the Miss USA 2008 tilt, she earned her diploma in broadcast communication with a minor in psychology as well as post-graduate degrees in business administration and sports management at the Barry University.
Miss Earth’s grand coronation night will be held on Nov. 22, Sunday, 7 p.m., at the 3,000-seater Main Hall of Boracay Ecovillage and Convention Center. It will have a delayed telecast on ABS-CBN-2 and The Filipino Channel at 9:30 p.m.
TOP 15 EVENING GOWNS, 15 lovely ladies participated in the Long Gown Competition of Miss Earth 2009. The 15 delegates were chosen from different Long Gown Preliminaries held in various locations. The girls who competed were Miss Colombia, Miss Paraguay, Miss India, Miss Philippines, Miss Guam, Miss Mexico, Miss Ukraine, Miss Spain, Miss Poland, Miss Venezuela, Miss USA, Miss Thailand, Miss Brazil, Miss Italy, Miss Korea (From OPMB Videos)

EVENING GOWN REVIEW by Mr. Vitug ~
A GLAMOROUSLY SEXY NEW TWIST!
MISS EARTH 2009 EVENING GOWN COMPETITION AND NEW CROWN UNVEILING: A GLAMOROUSLY SEXY NEW TWIST
by Joseph Vitug
The PAGCOR Casino near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Paranaque again played host to the Miss Earth Evening Gown Competition. But this year, there was a new twist: this was the first time ever that all the delegates were not on hand to be judged as they paraded in their evening gowns. Instead, there were preliminary rounds held as the three groups of delegates toured around the Philippines, and the best five of each group would then be competing against each other for this final round for the special award.
But before the competition went underway, they decided to allow this event to coincide with the launching/unveiling of the new Miss Earth crown designed by Ramona Haar. There was a little attempt at pomp and ceremony to launch the new crown, and the proceedings were hosted by famous Filipino-British football player and model Phil Younghusband. It began with a still video conveying messages about ecology and environment, and how the crown was created from recycled silver and gold and embedded with jewels mined or farmed from various countries in the world (80 countries, as it was declared). This was then followed with a song number from Faith Cuneta, who sang an adequate rendition of Des’ree’s inspirational 1994 smash “You Gotta Be.” This was then followed by a parade of local male models in black suits parading some gemstones. Then, another song number, this time from renowned belter Dessa, who performed her own reverent take of the 1988 Olympic theme song from Whitney Houston, “One Moment In Time”. Finally the crown was unveiled, with the reigning Miss Earth Karla Henry holding the crown aloft on the red pillow, and a turnover ceremony was held with designer Ramona Haar present to hand over the crown to Carousel Productions’ Executive Vice-President Lorraine Schuck. Have to admire the effort to integrate all those jewels into a single crown, and it actually worked.
Then, the usual concession to the sponsors enfolded as the sponsors (the Jubilee Presidents’ Foundation of the Rotary Club of Makati and PAGCOR) delivered speeches about their environmental projects and held their own evening gown fashion show. Finally, the main event unfolded as Miss Earth-Water 2006 and now director of the Miss Earth Foundation Cathy Untalan stepped in looking resplendent in a black lace gown to get the evening gown proceedings underway. Similar to the final swimsuit competition, they first presented the ladies who did not make the Top 15. However, instead of the ladies introducing themselves with a microphone, the host made the introductions and the ladies paraded their evening gowns briefly as Cathy introduced them by name and country. Take note after looking at the photos of the preliminary evening gown events of Groups 1 and 3 and witnessing the preliminary contest of Group 2 at posh mall Greenbelt 5 in Makati, the majority of the delegates did not wear their competition gowns. Also conspicuously absent onstage were media favorites Mz. Latvia (Diana Kuvasova) and South Sudan (Mary Deng Kudum).
Before I proceed with the 15 evening gown finalists, I would like to give my notes on the non-finalists who made a major impression with their brief presentations: Miss Cuba (Jamilette Gaxiola) shimmered brightly in her brightly sequined white evening gown—it was mildly surprising that reports were wrong that she made the cut in her group as it turned out it was Miss Ukraine instead; Miss Dominican Republic (Mariel Garcia) showed that blue can compliment her dark complexion looking chic in a form-fitting gown; Miss El Salvador (Mayra Aldana) was provocatively sexy in a low-cut V-necked flouncy gown; Miss France (Magalie Thierry) may have sported a poufy white monstrosity, but she strutted with aplomb in it and showcased that she knew more catwalk tricks beside the patented Riyo Mori Flash and Taliana Twirl; Miss Honduras (Alejandra Mendoza) was surprisingly impeccably elegant in her clean white number; Miss Kosovo (Elza Marku) channeled a little bit of Miss Universe 2009 2nd runner-up Gona Dragusha with her updo, but her pink gown with bare sides was probably a tad more risque than what Audrey Hepburn would’ve worn, but nevertheless it was a gorgeously sexy number; Miss Martinique (Pascale Nelide) was simply vibrant in her sequined red number; and Miss Puerto Rico (Dignelis Jimenez) was elegant yet provocative in a sheer pink number with strategically placed sequins.
An additional note that I would leave as a blind item: one cellar-dwelling delegate forgot to step forward when she was initially introduced by Cathy Untalan, apparently oblivious to what was going on around her–the delegate after her then did her stuff before she last-minutely then stepped forward to do her turn at the front of the stage. Hint: she alphabetically came after a delegate who was a conspicuous no-show that evening.
The 15 evening gown finalists were presented alphabetically, and they descended down a center stairstep with eight gentlemen associated with the Rotary Club escorting them while they navigated the steps. All 15 finalists proved deserving of belonging to the hallowed club, and fortunately none of them copied the so-called “patented gown moves”–they gave their own unique stamps instead. Let’s start with…
BRAZIL – Larissa Ramos. She sported a gorgeously sexy aqua sequined number showcasing revealing cleavage. She stirred up a major rise in collective temperatures with her presence.
COLOMBIA – Alejandra Castillo. Some keen observers noted that her gown was patterned similarly to Karen Agustin’s red Barraza number back in Miss Universe 2002, but it was still distinctive enough for her to make a smolderingly elegant impact.
GUAM – Maria Luisa Santos. From the black gown she wore in Subic, she changed into a one-shouldered white sequined number (think Michelle Obama’s inaugural dinner gown and Miss Universe 2009 1st runner-up Ada de la Cruz). With her updo, she looked impeccably elegant.
INDIA – Shriya Kishore. She strutted confidently about in her aqua-blue number like Bollywood royalty—all we needed was a dashingly handsome Bollywood actor miming a serenade to her.
ITALY – Luna Voce. She moved very simply and her light lavender gown was a simple design compared to the rest of the competition, but she did convey a classically elegant presence.
KOREA – Park Ye-Ju. She changed from her pink gown to a provocatively low-cut and revealing green gown. She had to adjust her shoulder sleeves a bit, and there was a potential for a wardrobe malfunction as I thought there was only an inch remaining before we could see nipples.
MEXICO – Natalia Quinones. She changed from her flowy pink gown back in Subic to a one-shouldered yellow satin gown with floral accents—unfortunately this was a bad strategy as this gown was the weakest of the bunch; it was too pageant-patty and dated for my taste.
PARAGUAY – Gabriela Rejala. She switched from her chocolate gown back in Subic to a white beaded number with sheer midriff. The gown was actually better-looking than her previous number, but it was also punishing for her current figure, emphasizing her voluptuousness to the max—maybe she is making a statement that there should be room for larger, curvier ladies out there instead of fashion’s emphasis on size 2 or lower.
PHILIPPINES – Sandra Inez Seifert. As expected she again sported the Michael Cinco rainbow-sequined confection with intricately flouncy, feathery chiffon accents at the skirt area. And she again made an indelible impact with it, and to my eyes, yes, it’s the most unique-looking gown of the group. My take on the eventual verdict? Read on…
POLAND – Izabella Wilczek. She displayed surprisingly strong runway chops showcasing her red evening gown with long chiffon train. She lifted the train up at the back, but it wasn’t the Riyo Mori Flash but a unique move, and she was an awesome diva walking in it. If we talk about dramatic catwalks, she was in a close match with another lady clad in red.
SPAIN – Alejandra Echevarria. She sustained her status as a favorite clad in a low-cut V-necked green gown with fish-scale golden sequined embroidery patterns on her skirt.
THAILAND – Rujinan Phansreetum. Clad in a red sequined number, she spun and twirled about with dramatic flair, but she was neither imitating the Taliana Twirl nor the Dayana Spin. It was more of a more earlier vintage model done by Latin beauty queens about a decade or so ago, but still has astounding impact—in my opinion, she was neck-and-neck with Miss Poland in the catwalk category.
UKRAINE – Karina Golovata. Her one-shouldered black gown was ostensibly simple, but there was drama with the sheer panels at the front and back—for maximum effect, the wearer of this gown was not supposed to wear any underwear, or attempt to create that illusion by wearing a flesh bodystocking; my bet was she did the former.
U. S. A. – Amy Diaz. She smoldered about wonderfully in her rose embroidered white evening gown, though she was overshadowed by the smolderingly provocative sexiness of the gowns sported by Mz. Brazil, Korea, and Ukraine, and the fierce catwalks of Mz. Poland and Thailand.
VENEZUELA – Jessica Barbosa. The skirt portion of her strapless silvery green sequined gown was similar to the intricately leafy fabrics on Miss Philippines’ gown, but the design on the bodice was more of a lovely conventional beaded and sequined pattern than what Sandra Seifert wore. She potentially could’ve pulled forth an upset and outdo Sandra, but a minor wobble of an otherwise flawless presentation as she walked to the front of the stage may have spelled the difference that led to the eventual final verdict.
As usual, sponsors’ prizes were handed out. Miss Philippines won Miss Jubilee Presidents’ Foundation, Miss Dominican Republic won Miss AVSCOR, Miss Poland won Miss HDR Management, and Miss Korea won two sponsors’ prizes—Miss Eagle Express and Miss Asei.
Four special awards were likewise formally awarded. First, the National Costume Award was formally presented to Miss Tanzania (Evelyne Almasi). Miss Photogenic, voted online at the Miss Earth website and on a Miss Earth Facebook account, was deservingly awarded to Miss Czech Republic (Tereza Budkova). Miss Friendship went to Miss Switzerland (Graziela Rogers). We discovered after the show how tight the Group 3 ladies turned out to be as they exuded extreme enthusiasm congratulating the Miss Congeniality winner and posing for group photos.
Finally, the Evening Gown Award went to Miss Philippines, Sandra Seifert. In my personal opinion, Sandra deserved to win this award, even more than the Best in Swimsuit Award that she won a couple of days earlier at Fontana Resort at Clark. Does this secure her status as THE frontrunner for the Miss Earth crown? Possibly, but take note that there are no guarantees in this pageant—two years ago, Miss Venezuela Silvana Santaella won the same two awards (along with a whole host of sponsors’ prizes), but she didn’t end up winning the grand prize at the end. Still her path to securing at least an element remains on track.
Thanks to CB for the pictures.

It’s Tough Being Beautiful
November 18, 2009 · No Comments
will tell you honestly now. It takes work to be beautiful. And the saying that there are no ugly women only lazy women holds very very true.
The person who said it must have been a beauty queen of some sort.
The last time we were so sleep deprived was the time we travelled 8 hours on the bus from Subic to Mamburao. If my sleep-deprived-working-in-safe-mode brain still serves me well that is.
We had our final long gown competition last night in Pagcor and Sandra, Miss Philippines, definitely had the most outstanding gown among the top 15 finalists. We were blown away the moment she stepped on stage. Alongside Best in Swimsuit, she thus also bagged Best in evening Gown.
3am and we leave for the airport to Iloilo. A convoy of buses carrying girls in states of unconciousness blazes through the surprisingly still busy streets of Manila. We arrive at the airport and everyone files out. You’d think that a bunch of Hollywood celebrities have arrived since almost 80% sport large sunnies. But really we’re all hiding behind our oversized shades trying to conceal our fatigue.
Iloilo’s CPU was the venue for the talent competition tonight. It was a tough fight but Tahiti danced her way amidst other hiphop, traditional and song performances. She definitely wow-ed the audience and the judges with her nimble hips.
As I was watching the contestants, I did wish I had continued with dance more. Haha. I miss dance so much! Especially my loves jazz and hiphop. I could have been up there with a fighting chance. LOL.
But I’m so proud of Neu!! And so happy for her. She is such a sweetheart. Tonight she was excellent on stage. Not only were her moves fantastic she won the judges over with her beautiful smile. Yayyy!!! Group 3 for the win! So far we’ve got Best in Talent, Best in National Costume and Miss Congeneality to our group’s name. Wo00ot! I hope somebody from our group gets Top 4 spots.
Just a couple more days to Coronation before a new queen is crowned. It’s tiring but hang in there girls. This will probably be the only time in our lives we do something like this.
