I just got myself updated on this year's Miss Universe contestants. When I saw the above photo, I was blown-away cos this lady really is breathtaking in this photograph.
She is Erica Nego, representing Ghana. Straightaway, I thought she would be the frontrunner for Miss Universe. And if she had the height and the personality too, she could wrestle the crown from Alyssa Campanella, Miss USA, whom I think is the one to beat.
As I googled for more info, to my amazement, I found that Erica Nego was Miss Minnesota 2009, competing in the United States. I assume she is American, having been born and raised there, but I read that she is half-German and half Ghanaian.
Well, if the rules allow, I'm all for it. It would be nice to see her in the top 3 of Miss Universe 2011.
Last year, I liked Ximena Navarrette very much, and then she actually won!
This year, I think it's a little bit tough. There are some very beautiful contestants.
