Date Posted: 01:03:46 06/02/07 Sat From Critical Beauty: | 06.02.07 | Saturday Sore loser? A Brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, asked Miss Brazil and Miss Universe first runner-up Natália Guimarães, about her opinion on the results of the pageant. The paper reported that Brazilian fans call Miss Japan Riyo Mori's victory as "unjust" and that Guimarães was "robbed" of the crown. Even Marta Rocha, a former Miss Brazil who placed second in Miss Universe 1954, commented about Guimarães [my translation]: "She was the most beautiful of all. She has an elegance that is worthy of a Miss." Rocha, who knows Guimarães personally, attended the finals in Mexico City. "She should be elevated to Miss Universe. It would be a question of injustice." Asked about her loss to Mori, Guimarães remarked [my translation]: "I did not expect to lose Miss Japan. I was apprehensive because of Miss Venezuela who is beautiful. I think that Riyo won because she had the best lobby. She was not the most prepared." Guimarães also laments the fact that her wardrobe was not as glamorous or fashionable as that of Mori who has opulent sponsors. Guimarães seems not to like Mori very much: "She [Mori] did not follow the directions of the organizers. On the runway, she did the opposite of what was required. She danced during the swimsuit segment." I can't remember of any first runner-up in the history of Miss Universe who could be so whiney and bitter as Rocha and now Guimarães. Maybe Miss USA Christie Fichtner, who lost to Barbara Palacios of Venezuela in 1986. Fichtner reportedly did not attend the coronation ball because she could not accept her loss; however, I don't recall her bad-mouthing Palacios or dissing her in public, unlike Guimarães. In other news, William is back in Los Angeles and he will submit his final report soon. His friend Miguel will also send pics from the pageant, so stay tuned! http://www.criticalbeauty.com/Miss_Universe_2007_Rafas_Blog.html [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
