The past 10 years or so, many people particularly women have argued the irrelevance of beauty pageants and how these pageants belittle the true value of women. (That perhaps explain the quality of contestants we get in Malaysia and Singapore.)
As I watched the final 15 (no Asian) parade which was swimwear, I did not think anymore of it. If anything at all, having watched reality shows such as ANTP, Miss Universe is definitely a more dignified version of a beauty show minus catfights.
Oh and check out the irony of the swimsuit event. They got rapper 'Flo Rida (pronounced rider)' to perform 2 songs DURING the swimsuit parade. This has got to be a rapper music video wet dream!!! He started his performance surrounded by 83 women in bikinis who had to dance to the song "Jump." Poor women, especially those who couldn't dance.
Even though no Asian made it to the final 15, Ms. China won Ms. Congeniality while Ms. Thailand took Ms. Photogenic.
Anyway the evening gown event took my breath away. Ms Kosovo and Ms Venezuela were absolutely stunning! Ms South Africa has got this hot sexy thing going for her. Ms Venezuela looks like a Hollywood movie star from the 40s and Ms Kosovo has got the elegance of Audrey Hepburn. Ms. Kosovo is so gorgeous. You have got to see her strut down the runway in that blue dress and the hairdo. It took my breath away. But I don't think Kosovo nailed the interview. Sigh... if she does not get it, lets hope Venezuela does.
