I enjoy watching pageants like my partner enjoys watching soccer, so here are some of the contestants for the upcoming paegeant to be held in Las Vegas. The photos are from the official Miss Universe Website and if they disappear for some reason you can check them out there.
Singapore: Tania Lim, age 23 (The quality of the photograph and lighting doesn’t seem as good as some of the others. Also she should have been given a better blow out for her hair. I wondering if this is due to a lack of budget.)
Australia: Jesinta Campbell, age 18
China: Wen Tang, age 18 (think she would look better with less makeup)
India: Ushoshi Sengupta, age 22 (She looks a bit like a friend of mine, but what did they do to her hair here? – a teased nightmare!)
Malaysia: Nadine Ann Thomas, age 18
Indonesia: Qory Sandioriva, 18
USA: Rima Fakih, age 24
France: Malika Menard, 23 (Her make-up seems more natural than some other contestants. I guess it’s because in France less is more and I tend to agree)
I think the girls from the Czech Republic and Puerto Rico are very pretty. I would put my money on Puerto Rico just going by first glances.
Czech Republic: Jitka Valkova, age 18
Puerto Rico: Marinana Paola Vicente, age 21 (She kinda looks like Michael Buble’s cute girlfriend from Argentina, Luisana Lopilato)
How can Singapore’s representative beat the rest without the studio lighting and makeup artists/hair stylists?
that’s what I was thinking…the poor girl needs a higher budget to compete on a level field….at least in terms of winning like miss photogenic or something.
It’s so scary that some of them are only 18! I think I can pass of as a child next to them; they look so mature.
yes that’s for sure. The men oogling at them need to be reminded that these are just kids.
Oh hey, I went to school with Tania Lim. Small world … or it just so happens that 45% of all Convent girls wind up being bimbos somehow.
That’s interesting…but you look so much younger. Hahaha many of my friends are convent girls and they are usually the prettiest of the lot.
