Miss World 2009 (3rd Update): The Game is ON

Miss World is not my favorite Big 4 beauty pageant. In fact, it ranks third on my list! However, I am getting impressed with the information that I am hearing… Donald Trump should be at his feet and watch-out for Miss World :) Julia Morley, Congratulations!

Miss World 2009 started last Friday when some of almost 120 delegates arrived at London… 2 “Yesses”! Yes, they started November 6 which means that the whole pageant will run for more than a month! Yay! And another yes for London… You read it right! It is London but the official host is South Africa :) The pageant will be travelling to three (3) countries! Wowzeee! Julia The sponsors must be sooo rich to be able to afford an “in-transit” pageant relocating almost 120 delegates +++ organizers into three countries! Winner!

Miss Earth 2009 (12th Update): Candidates on ASAP ‘09 (Disaster!!!)

Some of Miss Earth 2009 candidates were on ASAP ‘09 earlier. It is a Sunday-variety show of ABS-CBN!

The segment was a disaster! First, the songs Jump and Fire Burnin’ on the Dancefloor were used in Miss Universe 2009… It think it would have been better if they used other songs… I really think that a techno version of Miss Earth’s Themesong – Woman of the Earth – would have been perfect. And the title of the pageant is Miss Earth 2009 and not Miss Earth Boracay 2009! And oh, they should have sent the ”faces” of the pageant… I was hoping to see Spain, Cuba, Thailand, Czech Republic, Sweden, and Georgia…  Misses USA, Italy, Russia, Korea, and Philippines were Impressive :)
