• Two Refreshing beauties I would rather see than the well prepared-gorgeous Venezuela and Puerto Rico each year. -- Anthony, 06:41:59 03/29/06 Wed [1]
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I started liking their changes and looks and think it's a breath of fresh air indeed than the regular strong-gorgeous-prepared Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
  
  Good luck.
  
  I do like Misses:
  
  China---Strengthen her personality and right gown.
  
  Poland---Model-liked but unsure if she's liked by judges like last year's Chilean model.
  
  Serbia & Montenegro---So far so good.
  
  Canada---An inch too tall but she's stunning.A slight Evelina appeal.
  
  Sri Lanka--- No publicity but she's the dark dark horse.
  
  Switzerland---Sweet blonde girl next door.
  
  Philippines---If fans don't annoy us by over-hyping every year.
  
  Indonesia---The hair needs some work and the right make up.
  
  Thailand---Needs to polish up the final bits esp. her hair.
  
  Hair = Important = Glory = Mikimoto Crown
  
  I'm anticipating Japan and Singapore.

  In my opinion and be honest,these are the deleagtes often being compared within their neighbouring countries drawing the most attention.
  
  Aside waiting for Japan and Thailand....,
  
  Colombia,Puerto Rico,Indonesia,China has the strong chance of winning.
  
  Definitely Mexico,Canada,Philippines,Venezuela will not win but they should do rather well.To get in the finals would already be an achievement.
  Dominican Rep is the weakest link here.
  
  Europeans and Africans,I shall leave untouch...too many to compare.
  Enjoy.

• Training Around e World for the CROWN -- Sally, 18:37:42 03/14/06 Tue [1]
  1. Do you know it is much cheaper for our beauty queens to train in Colombia than here in the Philippines?
  
  2. Colombia is also a country fascinated by the pageant culture. They also have the best resources for designing a national costume. They are also the country that won the most 'best national costume' award in Miss Universe history.
  
  3. A Colombian, Carolina Gomez holds the highest score in the evening gown competition in Miss Universe history. The gown she wore was designed by Alfredo Barraza.
  
  4. Colombia does not only train Filipinas but also Ecuadorians, Canadians, etc.
  
  5. The training is not only intensive, but it makes a Filipino woman equipped with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen field. This is perhaps, the best prize that Bb. Pilipinas ever offered to their winners.
  
  6. Javier Murillo makes the best head shots and the best portfolio our delegates ever had in years.
  
  7. Alfredo Barraza and Javier Murillo does not really train all Miss Colombia - Universe winners. Although, the past three years they have trained and coached the winner from the local pageant enroute to winning Miss Colombia. In 2001, Andrea Noceti was not a Barraza trainee.
  
  8. Colombia will never win Miss Universe again, unless the very popular Miss Colombia pageant shrugs off its connections with the drug cartel.
  
  9. Venezuela's Venevision and Univision already made with finality a decision not to allow foreign titlists to train with Miss Venezuela organization after 2003 when Mariangel Ruiz lost to Amelia Vega. Osmel Souza is also a Venevision employee, so he is obliged to follow the instructions. SO we cannot send our delegates to train with Osmel. Without a doubt, their team is THE BEST!
  
  10. Miss Latvia 2005 trained in Venezuela but not with Osmel or Venevision. The Miss Latvia pageant is organized by Venezuelans.
  
  11. If GUY REX is still training pageant hopefuls; they are also one of the best. But they are very expensive. Or we can try Peter Elias of Trinidad and Tobago.
  
  12. India patterned its training program (including its line of cosmetic surgeons) from Miss Venezuela. They worked in the past and they still have the resources but they are not getting the right entrants these past few years.

  WHY SINGAPOREAN GIRLS CAN'T WIN THE MISS UNIVERSE TITLE One of the main reasons why in recent years the Singapore Government has always ensured that their Miss Universe representative were of tertiary-level education was because of the following incident which occurred not too many years ago. It is the final round of the Miss Universe Pageant and the three finalists, Miss USA, Miss Malaysia and Miss Singapore, were being asked three simple questions: MC: The first question is name me an electrical appliance starting with "L" Miss USA: Lamp Miss Malaysia: Light bulb Miss Singapore: LADIO Judge: No, no, Radio does not start with the letter "L" MC: I am going to give you three more chances; Now, name me an animal starting with the letter "L" Miss USA: Lion Miss Malaysia: Leopard Miss Singapore: LABBIT Judge: No, no, no! MC: Your next chance. The name of a famous car that starts with "L" Miss USA: Lexus Miss Malaysia: Lamborghini Miss Singapore: Lolls-Loyce Judge: Oh my God! MC: I am going to give you one last chance! Name me a fruit starting with the letter "L" Miss USA: Lemon Miss Malaysia: Lychee Miss Singapore, with full of confidence, smiles and says: LIEWLIAN!! This is not the end of the story, the Judge consulted the board of judges to determine if Miss Singapore should really be disqualified; and they decided that since Miss Singapore was having so many problems with the letter "L", they decided to give her another chance. Judge: OK, the final question is: Name me a part of the human anatomy starting with the letter "L" Miss USA: Lung (applause) Miss Malaysia: Liver (even more applause) Miss Singapore: LAN CIAU The Judges fainted!

  Shelving a career in banking and finance, the newly-crowned Miss Malaysia/World 2005 Emmeline Ng has found her place in the world of fashion and beauty.
  
  SOMETIMES, in trying to figure out your destiny, it’s best to go with your gut instinct. Unfortunately, for most of us, going by our instincts doesn’t always place us at the threshold of a life of glitz and glamour. That, however, was exactly the fate of the newly-crowned Miss Malaysia/ World 2005 Emmeline Ng.
  
  It began with a nagging feeling to return to her native Malaysia after spending more than 13 years in Melbourne, Australia.
  
  
  “I felt that there should be something more to my life,” she says. “I wanted to go on an adventure and see what happened. I can’t explain it but there was a calling for me here in Malaysia. I thought there was something here for me, so I decided to come back and explore my options.”
  
  Just short of obtaining her diploma in banking and finance from RMIT, the 23-year-old opted instead to explore opportunities in the local entertainment and fashion industry.
  
  “I believe that in life you ought to be more fulfilled and entertainment and fashion is something I am passionate about.”
  
  Passion, she says, is necessary in order to excel in anything you do. Emmeline did some modelling part-time, but little did she realise that she would eventually emerge as Miss Malaysia. Four days after winning the title, Ng says the realisation that she is a beauty queen has yet to register.
  
  “It still hasn’t sunk in yet,” she says. “My mother comes up to me and says ‘Hi, Miss Malaysia’ and I think ‘What?’ “
  
  The lanky lass, the tallest in the Miss Malaysia/World 2005 pageant, standing at a striking 179cm had returned to Melbourne for a holiday but decided to return to try out for the Miss Malaysia pageant. There were no expectations for the beauty pageant newbie.
  
  “I came with nothing – no expectations – and because of that I had nothing to lose,” she says.
  
  Her approach to the competition was simple – to be herself and not put up any pretence. Come as yourself and be confident, she says.
  
  That also allowed her to enjoy the pageant experience, as she wasn’t quite as stressed as some of the others. Being someone who loves a good laugh, Emmeline was often the one to relieve the atmosphere backstage by trying to get the girls to laugh. Her approach worked but she still finds herself quite overwhelmed when the thought that she did indeed clinch the crown sets in, especially since she had minimal expectations.
  
  But now that she has the sash firmly placed across her delicate shoulders, the beauty queen is ready to step up to the challenge and live up to the slogan of “beauty with a purpose”.
  
  For her, it isn’t about the glamour. It’s the responsibility that comes with the title that she’s most concerned about.
  
  “I am very aware of the responsibilities and roles that I play and am more concerned with that rather than anything else,” she says earnestly.
  
  Emmeline maintains a level of sincerity throughout the interview that indicates that she does indeed take her duties seriously.
  
  It is important to her to be a good role model. And the message she intends to spread as Miss Malaysia/World is targeted at the young.
  
  “I think it is important for kids to have their own identity,” she says. “Growing up as a teenager, you feel in the dark a lot and tend to make a lot of mistakes that can get you down. It’s very important that teenagers have a positive outlook on life. Life can be very unpredictable and can catch you off guard, so it’s important to be prepared.”
  
  Emmeline is a strong advocate of positive thinking, being mentally strong and of not allowing negative energy to pull you down. She describes herself as being a compassionate person, a trait she inherited from her mother who is a nurse. Her father works in oil and gas.
  
  
  Emmeline is also aware of the image that she has to portray as Miss Malaysia.
  
  “You have to be poised and carry yourself well,” he says. “I believe I am very particular about how I present myself.”
  
  While she has lived in Australia for most of her life, Emmeline says she was raised “Malaysian” by her parents. Before she leaves for Shanghai in November, Emmeline will spend her time preparing for the Miss World pageant, which will be held in December.
  
  She will also be meeting with the former beauty queens of Miss Malaysia/World to get a first-hand account of what to expect at the pageant. Her schedule will also include fittings for the various segments of the global pageant. She will wear a gown by Sonny San while the outfit for the national costume category is likely to be provided by Istana Budaya.
  
  It’s been a pretty tiring time for Emmeline as the short-listing of candidates for the local pageant began in May. The worst thing about the competition, she says, was that she didn’t get enough rest. The best part of it was the way the girls worked with one another.
  
  “They were all so helpful to one another and were genuinely concerned with one another’s well being.”
  
  Prior to going to Melbourne, Emmeline studied at Kolej Tuanku Jaafar in Negri Sembilan. While there she developed a passion for sports, and she participated in athletics, swimming, basketball and softball.
  
  “I studied in a boarding school, which was very closed, so sport was my outlet.”
  
  These days she spends her free time meeting up with “the girls,” catching up on the latest movies. She isn’t in a relationship at the moment but – hopefuls, take note – the qualities she looks for in a man are compassion, sensitivity and understanding.

  NATALIE GLEBOVA
  MISS UNIVERSE® 2005
  
  23-year-old Natalie Glebova of Toronto, Canada, was crowned Miss Universe 2005 in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 30th, 2005. This coveted moment was quite an accomplishment for Natalie; just 11 years earlier she and her parents immigrated to Canada with only one wicker case filled with their belongings.
  
  Glebova, an only child to parents Anna Glebova and Vlad Slezin, was born in a small coastal town in Russia and moved to Toronto when she was 12. Although Russian by birth, Natalie adores the country she now calls home and is proud to call herself a Canadian.
  
  “Winning the Miss Universe competition is definitely the embodiment of the American/Canadian dream,” Glebova said. “One of the best things about Canada is that people from different cultures and backgrounds are universally accepted. No matter what your history, once you arrive in Canada, you’re accepted as a Canadian.”
  
  A rhythmic gymnast throughout her childhood and adolescence, Natalie was a member of local and regional teams and competed in a number of tournaments growing up. She is also a classical pianist and composer and has studied at the Professional Music School in Russia. Her other interests include outdoor sports such as biking, rollerblading, swimming as well as ballet and figure skating.
  
  Prior to being crowned Miss Universe 2005, Natalie was a motivational speaker, model and a fundraiser. She recently received a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology Management and Marketing from Ryerson University and aspires to be a business owner in the communications and/or public relations field.
  
  Continuing the crusade of her predecessors, as Miss Universe 2005, Glebova will use her title to increase awareness about HIV/AIDS and the research needed to find a cure for the deadly disease. Her year-long reign will take her around the globe as an ambassador for organizations like the Global Health Council, amfAR, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and God’s Love We Deliver.

• After 12 times -- Sally, 18:07:57 06/02/05 Thu [2]
  After watching Miss Universe 2005 for 12 times, I have concluded that I really can't stand Miss Puerto Rico!!!
  
  I used to not really like Philippines because I heard she wasn't too friendly with her fellow Asian girls but when the pageant grew nearer, I felt proud of her.
  
  I was affected for 2 days as I realised how disappointed the Thais were with Thailand and Philippines not in the semis. I think they both should at least be in and remove USA and Switzerland or Greece.
  
  Puerto Rico really looked so so fake! Even the Puerto Rico forum's moderator is a coward. He doesn't allow us to post comments openly. Everything must be screened and he's worried people may bad mouth his Plastic Doll!
  
  Agree?
  
  I think Puerto Rico is similar to Denise but uglier version. Without makeup, she's damn pale...imagine your girl friends no makeup looking pale and this doll is worse!
  She walked well but her face.....really.....oh I cannot open my eyes well because the wound isn't completely healed.
  
  USA was really like some fat Chucky Bride dancing on the stage. The way miss USAs walk with their arms is so weird...luckily last year's Shandi was very tall and gorgeous. This one, too bad...she's like my neighbours mum with few kids,bringing them to school and home.
  
  Canada was nice and imagine she's in Wonder-Woman's costume...quite cool yeaH? She looks like a cartoon character but I like her than the two.
  
  South Africa would be someone I though around Nelson Mandella's age....were they classmates before?????

• My sincere Sentiments -- B, 10:24:02 06/01/05 Wed [3]
  Dear friends all over the world,
  
  To me, I've always regarded Miss Universe as some pageant reputable and beautiful. It's a prestigeous event and only the great ladies make it up the stage.
  This year or even last year, my heart and faith in Miss Universe shattered. I had been a fan since I was 14. I know some of you may be longer fans than myself but at 26 now, I feel that it's sad to see how things are progressing.
  
  In Ecuador last year, I agree that many delegates from South America, Central, North are wonderful as compared to my Asian ones nonetheless only India made the cut. She's great though petite. I was sad that Japan lost the prelims and so was China. Most of them were mainly Latins. Take it as it's being held in a South American region where the popularity was higher for those Latinos. I am not being biased as I was a fan of Colombia since 1993 before and even Puerto Rico, Venezuela, USA, Dominican Rep.,Peru.....each year, certain girls are wonderful....so I vote for them.
  
  This time round in Bangkok, through my years of viewing, I felt that some girls from Asia should at least have the honour to perform in the semis. For instance, Philippines, Thailand and Japan. I do think they deserved a spot. The Thai Prime Minister was utterly disappointed and I could feel the emotion in myself when the semis were being announced. Only---Indonesia??? I was proud of her but it was short-lived. I wonder if they ever invite a panel of 10 Asian judges and only two westerners....what will the outcome be and how will the Latins/Americans feel???
  
  Personally, I am from Singapore and I know where out delegate stand as compared to the world. I do think some delegates like Philippines did a great job. I didn't fancy her at first and I started feeling proud of her. She did her best. I still will congratulate her. I also pity Miss Thailand. She's so elegant and transformed from a country-side looking girl to some elegant, classy beauty. Japan was my pick but I agreed that her risky gown was too much. I felt really sad till today for these ladies.
  
  Girls like Mexico, Peru, Switzerland, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Domincan Rep., Canada and Latvia indeed deserved the spots. I think Israel wasn't great and needless to say were the half-Thai Norway, USA and Greece.
  
  Canada --- Amazing and charming with her eyes and jet-black hair. Her body was proportioned and her walk was good. She gave a positive answer as well.
  
  Puerto Rico --- I think she's beautiful from a distance as her face really was done too much. She's good and walk was one of the best. I did't think Miss Universe wanna promote another Denise Quiniones lookalike...
  
  Dominican Rep.--- Whether she fixed her chin or not, it's a minor one and she's fresh and tall. She's friendly, sweet and seeing her was refreshing. She doesn't have the typical Latina-trained pageant look. I think she's natural enough.
  
  Mexico --- She was quite a sweet and down-to-earth lady with somewhat a natural face. She didn't sway so well but her answers in English wasn't bad. She's nice to me as compared to last year's undeserving "drag-queen".
  
  Venezuela ---- This girl was my fav after seeing her perform and her little gestures of wanting to congratulate Dominican Rep. touched me though she couldn't reach out for D.R during the top5..I think she's quite an emotional, sweet and humble Venezuelan representative. She teared alittle and her answer was so sad. It's better to ask some interesting,friendly questions than political as it's so out-dated. Maybe Air or Earth???? Just kidding...but I felt sorry for Monica as she's nice.
  
  
  -------------------------------------------------------
  USA walked like a mad lady with short arms and swang her head too much during the swimsuit. If she could make the 10, who couldn't Susie C. 03???
  
  Norway was horribly made up and didn't focus while she did her evening gown segment...wasting time up there...
  
  Israel was trying to have that seductive and naughty girl look...would be great if she tied her hair.
  
  Trinindad Tobago is good but she has this unwilling to smile look...last year's was sleepy eyes....this year was frowning lips...
  
  Greece I thought was ok but didn't like her plain blonde look. She's not tall and looked bulky in her gown and well....wasted another slot.
  
  I felt so sad to see Philippines walk to collect her award. She's heart-broken as we can feel...the hypes, the press, the effort.....so was Miss Thailand.
  
  Donald Trumph's show was exciting but it's more like an American contest like many commented. I agree. I guess it's such. Good luck to all....just sharing.
  
  Really should have included Colombia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Antigua & Barbuda...Aruba was good too.
  
  
  
  :D
  Love to all

  No Asians or darker skinned contestants made the Top 5 because the Miss Universe organization could not afford interpreters for them. They could only afford one interpreter and it was for Spanish.
  
  Miss Norway, Miss Greece and Miss Switzerland were selected as first round finalists because the organization was buying their silence. Apparently, they were witnesses to Billy Bush running around half-naked the night before.
  
  Miss South Africa did not make it past the first round because her nurse-maid said it was time for her mid-morning nap.
  
  Miss Latvia benefited from her country’s $50 million investment to increase awareness on how to pronounce the word “Latvia”.
  
  Miss Peru slipped on the runway because Miss USA left an M&M wrapper on the floor.
  
  Miss Canada won because……she is Russian by birth and Donald Trump is trying to appease Vladimir Putin so Trump can convince the Russians to host the Miss Universe pageant down the road. (To add evidence to this, Miss Israel is formerly from the Ukraine.)
  
  Miss Puerto Rico placed second because Michael Jackson’s people needed her to remind the world that plastic surgery-scarred people are human too. (Remember, Michael Jackson’s trial is ongoing and the jury is deliberating.)
  
  After not being selected for the Top 5, Miss USA stormed off the stage and proceeded to polish off: 5 bags of M&Ms, 2 bags of Doritos, and 1 six pack of Pepsi……in 5 minutes.

• Miss Singapore Universe 2005 - Cheryl Tay -- B, 22:32:22 04/11/05 Mon [4]
  
  
  
  Age: 24
  Height (m): 1.7
  Occupation: Veterinarian
  
  Why did you join Miss Singapore Universe?
  It is an amazing opportunity to connect with the public, and perhaps find a way to use my profession to help others.
  
  Who has been an important influence/inspiration in your life?
  In what way(s)?
  My father. He has always been my guiding light, offering sound advice without excessive rhetoric. He is courageous enough to stand back and let me make my own mistakes, yet when I need help, he is always there. I will not be the same person without him in my life.
  
  Tell us something interesting about yourself.
  I can move my ears….independent of each other!
  
  What is your best asset?
  I am very sociable. I find it exciting to be in a new environment, meeting and getting acquainted with people of all ages and nationalities, and from all walks of life.
  
  What is your greatest achievement?
  Becoming a vet.
  
  What are your hobbies?
  Swimming, running, rock-climbing, and dancing.
  
  If there’s one thing you want to change about yourself, it would be…
  …to be more organized!!!
  
  What are some interesting or unusual jobs you may have had?
  During my veterinary education, I had to work on a farm where they bred cattle for meat. It was late winter and I had the onus of getting up at 6am to do pregnancy tests on some cows. It was freezing. The test method is to put your whole arm up a cow’s behind and have a good feel around! Although it was not the most pleasant of jobs, I was keen to get in there for a bit of warmth!
  
  What is your career ambition and what have you been doing to move towards the goal?
  I would like to own a veterinary practice someday. In the mean time, I will need to keep abreast with the ever-changing veterinary profession and learn more about business.
  
  What’s your philosophy towards life?
  Life is short. Live life to the fullest!

• Canada finally ROCKS!!! -- Miss Canada, 06:38:54 05/31/05 Tue [1]
  I'm so pleased to see Canada finally win something on a international level. I always knew that Natalie would win and the way she answered the final question sealed the deal. The fact that she said Thank you in Thai, represents how she respects the host country.
  
  For many years we have tried and failed and now finally we came out on top, Natalie you have broken the curse, Canada has not won Miss Universe since 1982. Since then we have come close but no really stunning delegate as Natalie. Neelam Verma 02 represented us well, Kim Yee 00 showed us our diversity, Lee Ann Marie Cecil did great too but Natalie was the one to do it.
  
  I hope in years to come that Canada will havea black canadian represent them as a black Canadian has only represented Canada only once back in 1989
  
  WAY TO GO CANADA YOU ROCK !!!

  i think miss philppines will make it to the final 5. or even the 2005 MU crown. if u will try to compare her in other delegates at their photos/videos/interview at the MU website you'll really see her picture of elegance and beauty.she can even win the miss photogenic award, u see there are times she looks sweet, and then a vixen and then a latina. totally unpredictable.. she has credible answers at the interview, too. very articulate and defined answers. im wishing all candidates to have a good time in bangkok.. my good luck to gionna cabrera! the crown is waiting for you!

  1. Miss Phillippines
  
  2. Miss Latvia
  
  3. Miss Georgia

  -----------------------------
  Miss Phillippines and Miss Latvia are the

  portion found @ official website of the
  Miss Universe. Miss Latvia is my second
  choice because of her super-model look.
  I love very much Miss Thailand's evening
  gown while Miss Singapore is very lovely
  and I like her witty answers @ interview
  portion.
  
  Good luck girls!

We are not proud of our Asian delegates...let me put this way...we are not proud of our Asian beauty....and the judges are all Western....just two Thais....I predicted the girl with Western look will always win....and win....LAtvia from Europe.

• Reviews after seeing the prelims*** -- Jessika, 08:51:59 05/29/05 Sun [1]
  While we are all awaiting the clips from the presentations here are my humble thoughts on the EVENING GOWN and SWIMSUIT competitions as well as the CLOSE_UP potential for interviews. My list will probably slightly chance after I see the clips, but I won't have enough time to make a full reviwe. I have a busy weekend this time.
  
  We'll start with the
  
  SHOO-INS ( 1 to 4 )
  CANADA - Amazing in EG, one of the best and the classiest. She is actually better in EG than in swimsuit. The main crown favorite at this point. I don't think even Adriana can deter her from being Miss Universe ( P.P. 1 )
  
  COLOMBIA - IMO Adriana is the best in South America and IMO she is Natalie's main competitor for the crown. I'm not thrilled on yellow but the gown looks amazing on her. She is
  in fact with Natalie Glebova the strongest delegate of the year. Probably the very best in swimsuit as well. ( P.P. 2 )
  
  LATVIA - Great gown and great body. The blue color looks great on her. She is virtually unchallenged for the best in Europe at this point and likely to follow beauties such as Diana Nogueira, Helen Lindes, Evelina Papantinou, Sanja Papic and Katrine Sorland. ( P.P. 4 )
  
  PUERTO RICO - If anyone is thinking she is out, you are IMO wrong. That black number is an excellent gown and her modeling experience and modern attitude will pay its dividends. Unlike some previous pictures, she looked amazing in swimsuit. ( P.P. 3 )
  
  NEAR SHOO-INS ( 5 to 9 )
  These ladies imply will not be overlooked based on their performance.
  
  ALBANIA - One of the best EGS of the evening. The show really got to a great start. She looks amazing in both categories. Her interview skills are decent enough, that's why I think she should start focusing on the final night now. ( P.P. 9 )
  
  ANTIGUA - I don't like that gown, yet the improvement on that lady has been so enormous I have to rate her as virtually a shoo-in for the top 15. ( P.P. 8 )
  
  ETHIOPIA - Amazing chocie for the EG, she is virtually close to being a lock for the semi-finalist now. Great interview & SS as well. The biggest contender from Africa and the strongest Black African since Mpule. ( P.P. 5 )
  
  SOUTH AFRICA - Amazing but true, she delivered two amazing presentations when it counted the most. Her 6" height can only help now. She won't blow the interview. It's almost a sealed deal for South Africa. ( P.P. 6 )
  
  VENEZUELA - Although not a favorite to win this pageant, she is well on her way to bring Venezuela back to the top 10, two stellar presentations sealed the deal. ( P.P. 7 )
  
  GREAT JOB LADIES but still WATCH OUT for the INTERVIEW ( 10 to 14 )
  
  DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - A truly genuine, statuesque beauty whose main asset is her swimsuit, she delivered a good enough gown presentation and will not have to focus on the interview. She's currently in a good position so the only thing I can say is to lay back, focus and deliver it. (P.P. 13 )
  
  NORWAY - She would be much higher on my list but let's face it the gown was absolutely inappropirate but the fact that despite this I'm still able to keep her in my top 15 speaks how versatile this lady is. She'll have to be focused during her interview though because if she blows it or even does only so so she could find herself around 20th place which would be a pity. ( P.P. 12 )
  
  PERU - WOW, that swimsuit is probably the best of the competition, forget her EG, she will score the top 3 in swimsuit and has a decent interview. Debora is yet another excellent delegate from Peru but she is a class ahead of Liesel Hollers and Claudia Ortizes. Great delegate! ( P.P. 10 )
  
  SERBIA & MONTENEGRO - What seals the deal for her is her amazing swimsuit. Her EG could have been better that's why she absultely has to show why is she a law student. (P.P. 14 )
  
  THAILAND - Chananporn just exudes intelligence and elegance and her being a host nation delegate will seal the deal. She is actually worth of the semi-final placing on her own and looks really sleek in SS. EG could have been slightly better though. ( P.P. 11 )
  
  YOUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE LADIES ( 15 to 20 )
  THis will be a catfight to the very end. These ladies have to deliver above average interviews.
  
  CURACAO - Technically speaking interview is the worst out of 3 competitions for Vantje so I'm sorry to say she should have been slightly stronger in EG. She's a great great delegate but I fell it'll be a downhill for her from now on.
  (P.P. 20 )
  
  ITALY - Maria Teresa is right on the line. Her swimsuit looks surprisingly stronger than her EG. She is a very complete and consistant delegate + she has the ability to deliver a great interview, she closes up my top 15 but she'll really have to deliver with the interview. ( P.P. 15 )
  
  PHILIPINES - She is one of the strongest bets from the Philipines. This country is so overhyped that their delegates are often automatically dismissed as being weak. This lady isn't, her EG is average so she'll have to deliver a nice interview, which she is able to do if she wants to be in the top 15. ( P.P. 17 )
  
  RUSSIA - 2 surprisingly good presentation + her vivacious personality make her a competitive delegate. She has relaively good speaking skills so if she will use them to the max, she'll be a semi-finalist. ( P.P. 19 )
  
  TURKEY - Guys check out this body and you'll see she just rocks in swimsuit. Weaker in EG and probably also in interview, I fear she'll come close but one more time fail to qualify. ( P.P. 18 )
  
  ZAMBIA - Cynthia is almost there. She looks great in swimsuit and had a pretty polished presentation in the EG, given her pageant experience I will not be surprised if she does well in the interview. ( P.P. 16 )
  
  LONGER SHOTS.
  These ladies will have to nail their interview. Focus on your speech NOW ladies. ( 21 to 26 )
  
  BRAZIL - This lady might squeak to the top 15 based on SS and again if she has a good interview. By no means, her EG helps her. ( P.P. 23 )
  
  CHILE - More of an Oxana-ish kind of gown. Gown is ok, apparently she has great catwalk skills. I'm just not too thrilled on her face. ( P.P. 25 )
  
  ISRAEL - If the EG would have been slightly stronger she'd be in, now Elena please just try to give it all for the interview, that's all what matters now. (P.P. 21 )
  
  LEBANON - A really bad EG + an OK swimsuit, too bad Nadine didn't deliver what she could have delivered, still she is one of the more attractive faces of the competition. ( P.P. 24 )
  
  SINGAPORE - This amazing interviewer just didn't choose the right EG, still despite that she's still in the game, she'll have to nail the interview to have a chance. Impossible task no? Difficult, yes. (P.P. 26 )
  
  SWITZERLAND - Fiona is still in the game, she improved since MW but I fear the gown will be her undoing, she is really competitive in swimsuit. Fiona has the ability to interview well and I hope she'll use it to the max. ( P.P. 22 )
  
  VERY LONG SHOTS, will have to be in the top 5 f not top 3 in the interview to even stand a chance for the top 5.
  
  ARUBA - I think this lady is shocking traditionalists, she is so consistent that a top 15 is a possibility, albeit she is more of a longshot. Still, I think she won't make it but if she can really excell in the interview, she could deliver the shock of the year. (P.P. 30 )
  
  BARBADOS – A rather competitive delegate from this country, congratulations on another great delegate. ( P.P. 39 )
  
  BELGIUM - Amazing swimsuit body, she's a bit on a short side, who know.. if she will be in the top 3 in the interview, she might still pull a surprise. ( P.P. 27 )
  
  BULGARIA - Again, more of a longshot, but she delivered two attractive performances. Better than expected. ( P.P. 37 )
  
  CROATIA - Although a bit overhyped, she is consistent enough and deserves her top 30 position. ( P.P. 29 )
  
  GREECE - Just like Croatia, I think she has only an outside chance of making it now. Only if her interview is excellent she could make it. ( P.P. 34 )
  
  GUATEMALA - I know her inclusion is a surprise but this is the best Guatemalan delegate in years. She is 6" and the pinkish gown looks great on her. ( P.P. 28 )
  
  MEXICO – Overhyped by some “experts”, her EG is her undoing. At 5'6" she is a longshot however if there was a top 30 she have been competitive. She reminds me of Jacqueline Bracamontes (01 ) ( P.P. 38 )
  
  PANAMA – A cool delegate worth of mentioning, she’s among the best in Central America ( P.P. 40 )
  
  PARAGUAY - Surprising, she was rather consistent in her presentations. Not the favorite but a delegate that is worthy mentioning. ( P.P. 35 )
  
  POLAND - Although slightly weaker than expected, this lady fully deserves our attention and if there would have been a top 30, she'd be a worthy inclusion. ( P.P. 31 )
  
  TRINIDAD & TOBAGO – This lady is doing all she can, she has a great interview and let’s hope she’ll nail it. ( P.P. 32 )
  
  UKRAINE – Her perceived naivete and ingenue vibe may attract some judges to her. Beware Yuliya is actually a competitive delegate. ( P.P. 33 )
  
  UNITED KINGDOM – From one of the worst to a great and one of the very best Evening Gown as well as a polished swimsuit presentation. Brooke gave it all she could. If she wins the interview, you just never know. ( P.P. 36 )
  
  THE EXCEPTION – India is of course the exception.
  
  INDIA - If Gul made it, this lady could as well but her EG is really not helping the cause. She will have to nail that 33,33 % for the interview or actually in other words win the interview competition to have a chance to squeak to the top 15, it is possible but I wouldn't count on it at this stage. She lost too much points already, mathematically it’s possible but chances of it are as high as Kerry winning Arkansas in 04, so possible but very unlikely. ( P.P. 46 )
  
  OTHER LADIES, NO CHANCE WHATSOEVA FOR THE TOP 15 ( 41 to 45 and 47 to 81 ). Yes, there are some cellar dwellers among them but I won’t give you my placing for these positions, hehehe :-p
  
  ANGOLA – Nice but among weaker delegates in recent years from Angola.
  AUSTRALIA – Unfortunaly her EG was her undoing, she’s just too far behind now.
  BAHAMAS – Nice but the competition is too tough.
  BELIZE – Nice lady but she was really overhyped.
  BOLIVIA – Thank you for showing sweetie, you seem to have a lovely personality.
  CHINA – Ni Hao for showing honey. I hope you’re enjoying Thailand.
  COSTA RICA – Nice lady but nowhere near as competitive as Nancy Soto.
  CYPRUS – Amazing face, if she was a bit more in shape it’d be great.
  DENMARK – Sweet lady I’m glad Denmark is participating this year.
  ECUADOR – Nice haircut & sweet lady.
  EGYPT – Nice facewise, but other than that she just does not stand out
  EL SALVADOR – She is actually one of the best El Salvadorean delegates that are generally the “cellar dwellers” of the competition.
  FINLAND – Nice face and cool lady.
  FRANCE – Unfortunately she’s weaker than at Miss Europe.
  GEORGIA – A gorgeous pair of legs.
  GERMANY – Bad gown and she’s short. Stil, Asli is a great lady.
  GUYANA – A very cool lady that is in a great shape.
  HUNGARY – Cool, traditional looking lady.
  INDONESIA – We are so proud of you and of what you did. You are a great example for women all over the world.
  IRELAND – A great lady but the competition is too tough this year.
  JAMAICA – She’s actually a very sweet lady.
  JAPAN – The ooh la la EG unfortunately backfired. Too bad because this lady was worth of a semi-final spot but what can you do if you place 81st in EG?
  KENYA – A sweet lady focusing on her African heritage.
  MALAYSIA – An improvement over Andrea Fonseka
  MAURITIUS – Nice. Congratiulations for the job well done.
  NAMIBIA – Nice but again this year is too competitive.
  NETHERLANDS – Exotic lady showing the multiculturalism of the Netherlands
  NICARAGUA – Cute as a button, she could fare very well in one of the Latin pageants.
  NIGERIA – Sweetie, thank you for participating and teaching us about your country.
  SLOVAKIA – Not as good as past Slovakian delegates.
  SLOVENIA – A very competitive year but this lady is worth our attention.
  SPAIN – She reminds me of many past Misses Gibraltar.
  SRI LANKA – Honey, thanx for the participation and good luck with your action career.
  TURKS and CAICOS – Sweetie, thanks for showing up. I liked the gown.
  URUGUAY – A nice delegate with a good sense of style.
  USA – Chelsea’s sweet southern personality is her main asset. Good luck in her future fashion studies.
  US VIRGIN ISLANDS – A nice, genuine smile and a very sweet lady.
  VIETNAM – Nice lady, she could be a runaway model.

  ASIANS CAME STRONG THIS YEAR. VERY GOOD
  
  
  1. PHILIPPINES - I WOULD SAY THE BEST ASIAN DELIGATE THIS YEAR.
  2. THAILAND - A WONDERFUL HOSTESS I DON'T MIND HER BEING IN THE SEMIS AT ALL.
  3. JAPAN - NOT THE TYPICAL JAPANESE DELEGATE BUT SHE WOULD EASILY BEAT THE CAUCASIANS AND LATINS IN THE RUNWAY.
  4. SINGAPORE - SWEET ASIAN SURPRISE
  5. INDONESIA - I AM FEELING A SEMI SLOT FOR HER. A GOOD REP
  6. INDIA - NOT THE TYPICAL MISS INDIA SENT THIS YEAR BUT SHE'S ARMOURED WITH HER WIT AND PERSONALITY.
  7. CHINA - NOT AS STRONG AS PREVIOUS MISS CHINA BUT NOT THAT BAD EITHER.
  8. KOREA - PRETTY ASIAN
  9. VIETNAM - A GOOD REP FROM THIS COUNTRY
  10. MALAYSIA - NOT AS GOOD AS THE PREVIOUS DELEGATE FROM THIS COUNTRY
  11. SRI LANKA - A LARA DUTTA LOOK ALIKE. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A DISADVANTAGE FOR HER SINCE YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THE PREVIOUS MISS UNIVERSE WINNERS.
  
  THE TOP 5 ARE THE ONES I KEEP HEARING FROM DIFFERENT MB'S. THEY CERTAINLY TURNED SEVERAL HEADS THIS YEAR. GOODLUCK TO ALL.

• THAILAND BEST NATIONAL COSTUME -- FLYING, 00:43:40 05/26/05 Thu [2]
  Miss Thailand snatches costume prize in Miss Universe 2005
  
  
  
  BANGKOK, May 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Miss Thailand Chanaporn Rosjan has won the best costume award in the first round of Miss Universe 2005 competition, the third Thai lady to snare the award in the Miss Universe pageant.
  
  The traditional Thai costume, glittered on Rosjan, stood out onthe stage and received enthusiastic applause from the audience in the first round of competition Wednesday night. Miss Mexico Laura Elizondo was second runner-up, seizing the best fancy costume category, reported The Nation newspaper on Thursday.
  
  In the 1969 and 1988 Miss Universe competition, beauty queen Saengduan Manwong and Pornthip Nakhirankanok were also rewarded with the best costume prizes.
  
  Designed by fabric expert Theerapan Chanchareon, the costume was inspired from the apparel of court ladies during the Ayutthayaperiod. The tiara is imitated to a period piece on display in a museum in Philadelphia in the United States.
  
  The accessories, including a bracelet and belt, are made of real gold. The textiles were weaved from golden silk and was time-consuming. The outfit costs some 1 million baht (23,800 US dollars).
  
  This year's Miss Universe Pageant brought together 82 beauties from 82 countries to compete for the most coveted beauty title of the world. The final will take place on May 31.

  Personally for Asian delegates,I feel...
  
  India -- There's something mysterious and exotic in this girl. She would not have won Miss India for nothing, right?
  
  Sri Lanka -- Comparable to the Indian delegate, this girl is beautiful and fashionable.She has to shine to bring Sri Lanka to the semis.
  
  China -- Not bad girl than I would call a lady. She's pretty and vibrant but I feel she's lack in elegance.
  
  Korea -- Beautiful but her height!!??
  
  Japan -- Just take a look at her height and attitude with that exotic look and nose. Reminds me of Evelina of Greece 2001.Needless to say, sure a semi-finalist and even winner. She may bring home the Japanese Mikimoto crown back home!
  
  Singapore -- To me, she's pretty and has a rather good figure. She speaks really well in her australian accent and walks well too. She's not a favourite here but seeing her performance, I am sure you guys will change your mind.
  
  Malaysia -- One of the weakest Malaysian representatives these years. She's kind and such but I don't think Donald will want her in his Trumph Tower.
  
  Philippines -- I must admit I didn't like her initially but she grew with elegance and looks. I think if this time round Asia is hosting...if history repeats just like in Ecuador where so many Latins make the cut, this year Philippines should not miss it anymore! she's tanner, tonner and prettier!
  
  Thailand -- I love to see Thai delegate making the semis. They have such great upbringings and respect for individuals.Of cause, we don't base on just that but she's revamped into aprettier lady.She's elegant but her figure and walking skills,I am unsure. I wish her the very best of luck!!!
  
  Indonesia/Vietnam/Taiwan --I have no news for now.
  
  Best wishes to all.

  PARADE BY THE POOL : Home-grown beauties seek to redefine Asian mystique
  Published on May 12, 2005
  
  As this year’s Miss Universe pageant is being held in Bangkok, Asian contestants are sure to hog the spotlight as they strive to provide the world with a fresh definition of Asian beauty.
  
  Miss Philippines Gionna Cabrera, 22, is the girl to watch. A graduate of integrated marketing and communications at the University of Asia and the Pacific, she has one of the most enchanting smiles in the contest.
  
  Cabrera began her career as a professional model after she was discovered by French designer Pascal Banet at the age of 16. She stands 172cm (five-feet nine-inches) tall.
  
  Her chances at the event can only be helped by the fact that her father, Rod Cabrera, is a pal of General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh.
  
  She won the Miss Philippines title because of her charm and elegance. The witty responses she gave during the question-and-answer session elicited rousing applause from the audience and impressed the panel of judges.
  
  She would like to gain experience in journalism, working as a reporter or a broadcaster. She believes that all greatness and glory is bound by time and we should be fully aware of our non-permanence and passing nature.
  
  Miss India Amrita Thapar, 22, has piercing brown eyes to match her beautiful brown hair. She likes to travel to new destinations and loves sketching, trekking and kick-boxing. She should enjoy watching Thai boxing, too.
  
  In her youth, she had a chance to travel extensively across India because her father worked in the defence forces.
  
  “This travel exposed me to the rich culture of India, made me more flexible and adaptable as a person and appreciate beauty in diversity,” she said.
  
  However, her ultimate passion is designing and styling garments. She would like to launch her own clothing line with Indian and international styles.
  
  Miss Singapore Cheryl Tay, 24, is a vet. She has a sincere smile that brightens up all around her. She likes movies, reading, music, running, swimming, horse riding, rock climbing, dancing, relaxing at the beach and playing with her dog.
  
  To get her veterinary degree she had to work on a farm where they bred cattle for meat.
  
  “It was late winter and I had to get up at 6am to do pregnancy tests on some cows. It was freezing. The testing requires putting your whole arm up a cow’s behind and having a good feel around. Although it was not the most pleasant job, I was keen to get in there for a bit of warmth.”
  
  She would like to manage her own veterinary hospital in the future.
  
  Miss Malaysia Angela Gan, 23, wants to become a child psychologist and run her own childcare centre. She has a BA in childhood studies and is now pursuing her master’s degree in early childhood education.
  
  She says she had a happy childhood with three younger sisters and was totally dependent on her family. She overcame new challenges and fears when she finally had to go abroad to study. She found independence and confidence in herself.
  
  A born-again Christian, Gan gave her life to Christ in 2000.
  
  “The most interesting thing about me is that I am able to mix around with people no matter where I go,” she said.
  
  She was born and raised in Tawan, Sabah, a small town in eastern Malaysia.
  
  Miss Indonesia Artika Sari Devi, 25, has a law degree and a strong determination to help children.
  
  Born on a beautiful island off Sumatra, she loves white sands and blue sea. Her hero is RA Kartini, who introduced education and equal rights to women in Indonesia. Her childhood was filled with dancing, theatre and drama performances.
  
  She is interested in sharing and providing children with love, not to mention travelling to different places to soak in cultural experiences.
  
  Devi is determined to change the old-fashioned perception of gender. As a representative of the world’s most populous Muslim nation, she says the Miss Universe pageant represents women’s empowerment and a chance to increase the tourism industry by introducing Indonesia to the outside world.
  
  She doesn’t think such pageants are demeaning toward women, even though she reportedly spent some time wondering if she should join a pageant that requires contestants to parade around in swimsuits.
  
  She loves animals too, and has a dog, five fish and a turtle.
  
  Miss Vietnam Pham Thu Hang was the first beauty to arrive in Bangkok, in a high-profile welcoming ceremony attended by former pageant winners Apasra Hongsakul and Chananporn Rosjan.
  
  The 177-cm-tall beauty arrived in an Ao Dai costume, the national dress of Vietnam.
  
  With her long, black, straight hair, Hang possesses all the beauty of traditional Vietnamese women, but she also represents the new generation of young Vietnamese with her interest in world affairs.

• Hot Picks -- Witlz, 11:26:15 05/13/05 Fri [1]
  For today's hotlist, i based it on the pictures i saw in the web. Basically, pics of their trips, pre taping , videos and swimsuits. This is a feature on the very noticeable girls on the pageant. The list will be added everytime a contestant would do something noticeable.
  
  1. Miss Japan - a mix of oriental and asian looks.This girl has all the possibilities of becoming a forerunner. And just imagine the height!( 6'2 ) damn! wherever she goes, she gets noticed!
  
  2. Miss Philippines - i have mixed feelings on her. She has this very unique beauty. She could fool us by her different personality through her looks. This day, she looks very sweet, the next day, she looks like a vixen and the next day, she looks like a latina! WHeew! nonetheless, she is one of the girls to watch for!
  
  3. Miss Czech Republic - she reminds me of Miss Cyprus 2002. Damn! i was really mezmerized when i saw her photos in the MU website. She is tall and she is not your regular blonde!
  
  4. Miss Antigua and Barbuda - Shermain won the Miss Talent award in the Miss World pageant last December that earned her a spot in the finals.But that is not enough, she is very eccentric and got lots of substance inside of her! I mean, she is a girl that deserves a second look! She reminds me of Mpule Kwelagobe.
  
  5. Miss Sri Lanka - wow! Didnt expect her to be this beautiful! Very Stylish and Very classy. Not to mention that she is a fashiond designer, that could be a plus for her to earn the attention. She is a good resemblance of Lara Dutta. Very low profile but the crowd keeps an eye on her.
  
  6.Miss Croatia - Simplicity is not always a beauty, but for Gelena, being truly simple and beautiful is effortless to her. This young lady could bring the first title of this very beautiful nation in europe!
  
  7. Miss Korea - Say bye bye to traditional korean women and lets welcome SO YOUNG KIM! very modern chic and classy!
  
  8. Miss Norway - Helene deserves a spot in here! she has a very unique beauty that would let you have a second look! with an asian decent, gosh! she is just drop dead gorgeous!
  
  9.Miss South Africa - Claudia is the perfect cover girl of any magazine. She reminds me of Estee Lauder models. WOW! she is just so ravishing and very much beautiful! you guys must have to be serious about this blonde because she has the beauty every asian would love to see!
  
  10. Miss Lebanon - Nadine failed in Miss World but that didnt leave us to ignore her. She is like a doll that if placed on a shelf, a lot of girls would envy and a lot of guys would die to buy her! Nadine is a mix of asian and caucasian beauty and was perfectly made. as if , God didnt sleep while making her!
  
  11. Miss Singapore - dont ignore this girl. She is very vivacious and among all her good qualities, she is very smart and stylish!
  
  this is just a preliminary list and a lot of girls are still getting noticed every day. Remember, every move is considered!

  BANGKOK TIMES UPDATE
  ====================
  For the past few days, the ladies have been very sporting by putting up to the extremely humid weather in Bangkok. Thai locals are thrilled with the amazing ladies who not just look pretty but very friendly. Ladies would wave and smile and even snap shots with the locals making everyone feel at home.
  
  Ladies who left great impressions were:
  France
  Norway
  USA
  Singapore
  Mexico
  Colombia
  Venezuela
  Puerto Rico
  Denmark
  Trinindad & Tobago
  Antigua Barbuda
  Aruba
  Japan
  
  The locals were frequently heard complimenting such native ladies when interviewed randomly along the places the ladies appeared.
  
  A hot spot for Miss Congeniality although too early to guess, the public felt that Aruba and Singapore left a positive,happy image in their eyes.Singapore being an Asian was seen homely and humble always smiling and giggling with the locals.Aruba is very tall and waves to the public almost everytime genuinely.
  
  Been labelled as the beautiful goddess would go to Mexico and Puerto Rico. Everyone loves Puerto Rico's fair skin and Mexico was so Cindy Nell.She's so friendly,down to earth.She's loved by the Asians here.
  
  Sexy babes?You would hear them say Colombia who's tanned and hot-figure with her tall elegant walk,Slovenia often showing her great cleavage and she does have a great body.Japan was the next who recently surfaced up.She's so fashinable and her trend is like ahead of everybody.Dressing to look her age and not making herself womanly for pageant sake.She's so tall at 1.85m to be exact now and she's witty and funny.If Miyako has the wits and personality,this girl has them-twice!
  
  Shy ladies were Korea,Ecuador,Greece and some European ladies who speak when you ask them questions only.They tend to smile but stay on the low key.Still early to comment and here's for now.
  
  Enjoy guys!
