miss world 2007

(Hey.. is it the new way to wear MISS WORLD sash..??? she not even notice it.. must be over excited... haha!!)

(Oppss... now only she noticed her sash has slipped down.. haha!! so by no choice she has to pull her MISS WORLD sash herself.. haha..)

(Miss Malaysia - Deborah Priya Henry, she is one of the hot favorite and she is in top 16)

There is a live telecast from Sanya, China on last saturday (1/12/07) for Miss World 2007 pageant in star world channel.. this is a month long event held in Senya.. at the beginning i was quite excited about who will win and can't wait to watch the live.. contestant from Malaysia (Deborah Henry) is so pretty and elegant, and even since she was in Senya, she has became one of the hot favorite with others like Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Venezuela and of coz China..

i view the updates of the pageant on the website to follow up what is going on there.. after the first 2 weeks, i have lost my interest on it because everything seems like giving the priority to China.. for example, the place she stand in all the events are always in the middle of front row, she will appear in all the press conference (not all the contestant are attending all the press conference, only selected one attend..), even the website also posted her photos more than others.. so i know she gonna win this year no matter how is her performance on the final night..

i didn't watch the live that night because i know that she will win.. finally.. what i thought really happened!! she won...!! i manage to find and watched her performances and crowning in youtube.. frankly, she is pretty, tall and skinny.. but her so called English interview... OMG!! compared to others like i mentioned on top.. she is still not at that standard.. still very far to go.. miss china..

i am not the only one unhappy with the result, even most of my frens who watched the pageant feel the same.. i have found an interesting article about the pageant that night, not sure how true it is but i do agreed with the article.. here to share with you guys..

Now let's get to the nitty-gritty about the results. China won for several factors. First, she possesses the traits that MWO is looking for - grace, elegance, beauty, sweetness, and humility. MWO will never choose a girl who has a strong personality, who complains or who will give them trouble; China seems to be a girl who's good in following orders; after all, she's a secretary! Second, it is not coincidental that her winning is a prelude to a much bigger international event - the 2008 Summer Olympics - that will take place in Beijing. Morley can make millions by peddling Zhang to the Olympic sponsors; I can see her carrying PRC's flag as she leads the Chinese team into the stadium. This is no different from when Amelia Vega won Miss Universe in 2003 and appeared three months later in the Pan American Games held in her home country, the Dominican Republic. Third, China's winning is MWO's way of thanking the Chinese for having spent millions of dollars in hosting the pageant for four years.

And what about the other girls who placed? Angola made it - not because of her beauty - but because MWO needs a mouthpiece in Africa to promote HIV/AIDS awareness. This is not surprising, since her bio states that "she is an ambassador of hope for people whose lives have been affected by HIV." When Sweden was called as a finalist, you could hear a pin drop in the theater. One can only assume that Sweden is Morley's "pet" this year, since she hardly registered as one of the favorites. Puerto Rico's inclusion did not have anything to do with merit as much as it had to do with favoritism, thanks to Wilnelia Merced, the only Miss World so far from Puerto Rico, who happens to be one of Morley's good friends and business associates. I don't know about you, but the more outstanding girls this year (Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Venezuela, Malaysia, Grenada) were shut out in favor of less beautiful girls who made the top 5.

Yes, dear readers, the only way your girl can advance in Miss World is through connections, either with Julia Morley herself, or with past titleholders who have become Julia's good friends. It sounds corrupt, but that's reality. It's all about getting to know the right people and sucking up to them if necessary.

talking about the clips i watched in youtube.. OMG!! miss china evening grown was blooding damn outdated.. the big fish tale seems like late 80's or early 90's design.. the dress is damn bulky for her with her skinny build.. the way she walks is damn weird.. it seems like she needs a very big effort to make every single step... yak!! another funny part is after she has crowned and make a first walk.. her 'MISS WORLD' sash slipped down and stuck on the bulky dress.. she not even notice that at the beginning, so she has to pull it up by herself after she knew that.. damn funny!! haha... haha..

sorry for those who like or support miss china in this pageant.. what i said here is juz my own thoughts and not trying to disgrace any contestant.. i am sure she will be a good MISS WORLD after well trained by the miss world organisation..
