Miss Universe is on Friday, May 11th!
 
Since I love to watch pageants on TV, I wanted to let everyone know that Miss Universe is looming on the horizen! I though I would mention that if you go to: http://www.missuniverse.com/ ......
they have the headshots of the delegates!

If pageants interest you, you will want to check back at the website often, as they will update the website on an ongoing basis with pictures of the delegates doing various activities in the preliminaries like fashion shows, Parade of Nations, etc.

If you want to see the lovely ladies, click on Delegates, then Country Listing, then the country that you want to see.

Since the majority of us are from Canada or USA...
Canada is represented by the lovely Cristina Remond
There's info on her at this website, too: http://www.geocities.com/pageant_2000/

(This photo is not that flattering IMHO, but oh well)

USA is represented by the lovely Kandace Krueger (she was Miss Texas at the Miss USA 2001 pageant).

I'm also a fan of pageants! I remember when the Miss Universe pageant was held at our campus Sports Arena in 1998--I was an official lei greeter!

I also watch tabloid shows, and someone made a ridiculous claim that Miss France was actually a man! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif Of course, Inside Edition didn't reveal their sources, but many pageant delegates, including Miss USA, came to her defense.

Decide for yourself...Elodie Gossuin doesn't look like a man to me!

ahh god, if you ask me i'd say cristina's the one who looks like a man...i've seen many girls on my campus alone that look better than she does. How are we expected to compete in this competition if we're not putting forth our best girls.

Thank you so much for announcing this CutiePie! I had no idea! I love pageants, so I will definitely watch!

OTW, aww that's so sad, I think Miss France is simply beautiful! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Sometimes tabloid shows make me wonder http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif, but I have to admit I love watching them! hehe! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I doubt I'll stay in on a Friday night to watch it but I must say that Miss USA is beautiful. Of course I hope she wins.

Lil_G, That picture of Cristina does not do her justice (and I've changed it now to a better one). I've seen other photos of her that look lovely. Kandace Krueger is also lovely, but I don't think that photo of her is very flattering.

As for Miss France, that is a mean-spirited rumour that she is a man. She's issued a statement that she has never been a "Mr." and that the rumour is false.

Only 2 days to go! YIPPEE!

Out of all the different paegants, this one is the only one I don't watch. Too bad I will be busy Friday night because I actually want to watch it this time. Maybe I'll just have to video tape it.

My cousin, who works now at Singapore, is really good friends with Miss Singapore!!! GO MISS SINGAPORE!! I really wish I knew how to post her picture here, but I don't know how. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

I really want her to win also, b/c I think we need more Asian Miss Universes!!! When was the last time that an Asian won Miss Universe???

BTW, I think Miss Universe 2000, the former Miss India, Lara Dutta...is simply gorgeous! Plus I think she reigned well as Miss Universe...she is intelligent and eloquent.

newbie ,
India *is* considered part of Asian, therefore the current reigning Miss Universe is Asian. However, here are some other past Miss Universes who hail from Asia:

1965 Apasra Hongsakula - Thailand
1969 Gloria Diaz - Phillippines
1973 Margarita Moran - Phillippines
1988 Porntip Nakhirunkanok - Thailand
1994 Sushmita Sen - India
2000 Lara Dutta - India

Here is the lovely Miss Singapore, Jamie Teo, just for you!

Hehe, thanks Cutiepie2000 http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. Can I ask, how do you get the picture on here? Did you just copy and paste?? My bad, :embarassed: I should have known that Indians are considered Asians, too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I'm wondering, does anyone know if Miss Singapores/Miss Taiwans/Miss Japans have ever won a Miss Universe title?

Equeen--Lara Dutta is SOOO classy!!! She is so elegant, beautiful, and plain SMART!!!!!
