Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2008

I have to congratulate the Miss World organization because most of their winners in the past few years have been really stunning! Normally, one expects the Miss World pageant to be 2nd to Miss Universe -- one because of its name, 2nd because of its prestige/name.

But the truth is, Miss World normally has more contestants than Miss World. I was blown away by how beautiful Miss Russia was, in her electric blue dress that matched the crown.

The 2 runners-up are nowhere close to winning, even if they did. I really hope beauty contestants, especially those that have to do their own hairstyle at international beauty pageants, do not have that big, bulging hair like the picture below of Miss Trinidad & Tobago. It's really outdated and makes a young girl look like an old rich, dame.

Miss Russia's name is so difficult to pronounce, and that's why I can't say it. But here's a picture to remember her by.
