Rima Fakih, Miss USA 2010

I was happy to see the results of Miss USA 2010 go to Michigan, where I lived while going to university! It's been a long time since anyone from Michigan managed to get any ranking in the Miss USA pageants.

However, the big surprise was she was not one of the 4 beautiful blondes in the top 5. In fact, she was the very black-haired Arabic features girl, born in Lebanon. That makes America great, that a naturalized citizen, a former immigrant, could be Miss USA. The same for Arnold Schwarzeneggar and Obama, of black-white parentage. I'm glad to see that there is a politically-correct USA, and that an American is not hampered or limited in their access to success by their skin colour or where they are born. Bravo!

I watched the Miss USA 2010 pageant clips on youtube and I still wasn't sure why they picked Rima Fakih. I can see she looked lovely in her white evening gown, with the contrast of jet black hair, and dewy Mediterranean skin.

She didn't get very high scores for both the swimsuits and evening gown. (But thank you designers, now I can use orange & pink together for a design and know that they don't clash badly!)

Donald Trump bashes Miss World

I haven't had the mood nor the inspiration to write anything here since my last post LAST year. Plus, nothing has been going on in the world of beauty pageants since the catastrophy in Miss World.

But I just happened to catch Donald Trump's interview on The David Letterman Show tonight. He was appearing to promote Miss Universe I think. The ignorant David Letterman promptly asked The Donald about Miss Universe. Is there a Miss World? How about Miss America etc. The Donald replied that yes, there is a Miss World, but they are just going down the drain...

Miss World -- Never Follow It Again

I predict the demise of Miss World Pageant. It should be sold to Donald Trump for 1 cent!

2009 Miss World judges bore some kind of small-hearted jealousy towards beauty, resulting in the most beautiful woman ever to participate in a beauty pageant be robbed of a crown. Perla Betran from Mexico was widely-touted as a clear winner from the start, as she was pure perfection. However, I didn't like this blue gown she had on the night of competition. It wasn't sexy at all.

It felt as though there was a conspiracy not to give the crown to a clear, perfect-looking winner and the favourite, and instead award the crown to the one most unlikely to win -- as a slap towards beauty.

But Ms Beltran had to stand quietly, graciously and generously let someone else less deserving take the limelight. Undescribable. Worst winner in history. Perla, you will go on charming the public with your beauty and courageousness.

Perla Beltran

I am posting Miss Gibraltar's photo here JUST as a comparison to Perla, Miss Mexico. My blog is not worthy of any winner like this!!!!

Miss World 2009 from Gibraltar -- Miss World organization cheating the taxpayers of South Africa with the unfathomable results of a mindless pageant, all the sponsors came for a "cheap" show -- "Blimey, I say, were those results for real? What did you put in my tea? Tell me I'm not seeing things..." and worst of all, they played the most cruel joke on Miss Gibraltar.

It was like the Beverly Hillbillies winning Miss World. No standard! For those who don't know who the Beverly Hillbillies are --- notice the resemblance?

 Yee hah!
