Speaking of Miss USA, I just sent out my head shot and my info hoping to be choosen as an Ohio delegate to compete for Miss Ohio USA. I also compete in the Miss America system. Wish me luck I will find out sometime in the near future if I was picked. Then it will be time to work my butt off to be in perfect shape for the Miss Ohio USA pageant in November!

Ok! Last week, some of my friends in the pageant industry asked me who I thought would do well in Miss Universe. I went to the Miss Universe website and looked through ALL of the pictures for ALL of the 72 contestants. I narrowed it down to a Top 10 list, in order:
1] Venezuela - beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
2] Brazil - also pretty, has that "look"
3] Domincan Republic - very sleek looking
4] Korea - this is a non-conformist pick, but I like her
5] Spain - good glamour look
6] Greece - she's a bit thin, but I think she has some personality
7] Trinidad & Tobago - I just love that evening gown
8] USA - she stands out from the crowd
9] India - pretty girl, might do well
10] Israel - has some style and some potential
Remember, I looked at each contestant's set of three photos as presented on the official website. Some of them had questionable headshots but great, costume, swimsuit and gown photos. Plus, who knows how they might do during the interviews?
A lot of the photos you all are presenting here are from other sources. For example, on the official website, I'm not impressed with Miss Canada. However, in the pictures posted here, she looks great.
Plus, I made these picks a week ago without the benefit of newer information. For example, Miss USA is # 8 on my list. But, that was when we all thought she was wearing that lime green dress. Now they're showing her in a pretty, sparkly pastel gown. That, of course, will affect my rankings.
Anyway, the show is tonight, so I'll have to see how close my list came!

A friend of mine won Miss Teen Michigan USA this year. I don't know if she competes in the Miss America system, though. Well, if her mother has her way she will! (her mother is the WORST stage mother I've ever met!)

I'm REALLY surprised at how thin these women are! 
Of course I know the media expects thin women etc etc, but even the women from countries that have, in general, curvier women, are sticks. I thought I remembered the ladies looking a little more siz 6ish as opposed to size 0 (not that I wouldn't love to see a 10 out there, cuz I would!!!!!) - but maybe that was in the Miss America pagent?  Regardless, it's sad that a bunch of little girls the world over are going to watch this and think that to be pretty they have to be emaciated. *sigh*

Talking about being thin for pageants...With the Miss America system there is a need to be fit but not too skinny where as with Miss USA you must be in prefect shape on my form that I sent out to them it asked for my weight which I thought was a little odd. Plus if you when a Miss Ohio USA title you have a personal trainer to keep you fit. I forget what year it was but it was a big deal that one of the Miss Americas gained weight through her year as queen and one of the final question was what do you think about a her gaining weight. If I am correct these questions are wrote by the other contetants. The girl that answered the question very well. My pageant coach keeps telling me why let a few pounds stand between you and the crown. That is why I am going to really get in shape for these up coming pageants!

It was Miss Universe 1996, Alicia Machado (Venezuela) who gained weight. Then Brook Lee (who won Miss Universe 1997) got the final question, which referenced the year before: "If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?''
Brook Lee (Miss USA) said "I would eat everything in the world,.....you don't understand! I would eat everything TWICE.''
Yup, she won!!

UDZeta - I totally understand being fit, but a size 0 at 5'9" ain't fit - it's super skinny. Now, I'm a dancer, so I understand the pressure to be thin. I have and have not gotten jobs because of the way I look. That's the biz. However, that's a job and not a beauty contest, ya know? I just think it's ridiculous to say these women are 'fit'. They are underweight, some to the point of being unhealthy - which is NOT 'fit'. Some of their legs are about the size of my arm for crying out loud!  However, I'm not saying you or anyone else is wrong for participating. And I'm sure I'll be watching it, too!

As I mentioned before, I know a bunch of people in the pageant industry. One woman I know keeps talking about how she's trying to "get fit" for an upcoming pageant. She's STICK THIN and I thought that she meant maybe getting toned a little so she'd have more shape. Nope. She's mentioned more than once that she's trying to get rid of her "whale-like thighs" and that's a direct quote. I mean, she looks really thin to me!
Her comment kinda bothered me a bit, not only because I feel she has a distorted view of herself, but also because there are a couple of overweight ladies in her division who are competing just because they want to. They're on the listserve too and I bet they're turning green and/or red at her comments. If she thinks her thighs are "whale-like" then, let me tell you, the rest of us must be blubber central!
Plus, the ladies were discussing their picks for Miss Universe and more than one person mentioned that they thought that Miss Spain and Miss India needed to get personal trainers. GO AND LOOK at those two contestants. Yeah, it does look like they have a little bit of "extra" thigh compared to the other stick thin delegates, but COME ON!! They are NOT out of shape! I'm sorry, I don't mean to get so excited but puh-lease!
Someone help me before I start lecturing....
