Subject: My Favorite Competition Presentations


SWIMSUIT COMPETITION


Miss Universe


My Choices for the best Miss Universe swimsuit competition would have to be, first, 1993, in Mexico City. Even though the unruly crowd destracted the event, I feel that it was still the best production ever...from stage, to background music, to the semi-finalists and to the swimsuit itself. The black swim wear, accentuated with lace on both side curves where just elegant...which made each contestant just stood out!


My second choice is 1988, in Taipei, Taiwan. The background stage was quite unique. Chinese folk dancers with giant feathered fans created the illusion of wave. The cherry red swimsuit was also a good choice.


My third and final choice will have to be 1996, Las Vegas, Nevada. Another perfect package...the set, depicting the old Las Vegas in the 50's, the background music, the special effects, the semi finalists and most importantly, the swimsuit.


Other Runners-up includes 1995 in Windhoek, Namibia, 1987 in Singapore, 1973 in Athens, Greece and 1986 in Panama City, Panama.

EVENING GOWN COMPETITION


Miss Universe


This is a tough one but I love stairs, so all my choices has this as a big factor. I would have to say that my choice for the top spot would have to be 1996, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The endless stairs, the candilabras, the soft, very elegant piano music was just heaven! It will be hard to top this one!


My second choice is 1988, in Taipei, Taiwan. The adorable little sisters that year just captured my heart as well. Even though the evening gowns that year were not the best, I still liked the overall presentation.


My third choice is tie between 1980 in Seoul, Korea and 1995 in Windhoek, Namibia. In the 1980 presentation, 8 Korean folk dancers with feathered fans served as an opening door as each contestant got introduced.....very clever idea! The 1995 presentation captured my attention because of the stage and the song...just a perfect combination!
