Janine Tugonon’s Evening Gown Portrait For Miss Universe 2012

Janine Tugonon Evening Gown PortraitHere’s Janine posing for the camera wearing this yellow chiffon beaded gown. In all honesty, this gown isn’t working at all. The color does suit Janine’s skintone but the design is horrific. It looks dated and too heavy for her. I am hoping that she’d use a different evening gown come preliminaries and finals night just like what Venus and Shamcey did during their stints.

Here’s Miss Universe-Philippines 2012 killing this swimsuit shot at the on-going Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas. I’m awestruck upon seeing this photo because this is a totally different Janine from the national pageant. She’s got a rocking body and look at those bone structures! ‘girl better nail the Evening Gown shot easily because  right now, she’s one of the biggest forces to reckon with!

Miss Universe Philippines Janine Tugonon’s Transformation!

taken this year during the parade of beauties and after the pageant night

I was not a big fan of 2011 Binibining Pilipinas first runner-up Janine Tugonon’s decision in joining the Binibining Pilipinas this year because I do not think that she was ready. If I’m being honest, I’d say that she’s not in good shape during the national pageant in April and I was a bit frustrated that she won the most important title of the evening. I was rooting for another candidate then and went home disappointed. ‘Lo and behold though, after seven months of rigorous training  – Janine went from being a clapper to a possible winner in this year’s Miss Universe to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 19.

Janine’s beauty reminds me of Miss Universe 1999 first runner-up Miriam Quiambao and her mannerisms are that of Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up Shamcey Supsup which I think will be a lethal combination come next month.

Here are the latest glam shots of Janine showing her new curves and queenly aura! Is Janine destined to be our country’s third Miss Universe or will she be able to achieve the success of Venus and Shamcey placing in the top five from the last two edition of the pageant? All I can do is wish her good luck and offer my prayer that she may bring honor to our country! Mabuhay ka Janine!

Miss Venezuela’s Romina Palmisano is Victoria’s Secret Newest Angel!

 

Hailing from beauty pageant powerhouse Venezuela, Romina Palmisano represented Carabobo and placed in the top 10 during the 2010 Miss Venezuela where she also won the Miss Personality award – this may be a big factor aside from her obvious demigod beauty and out of this world body why she was chosen to be one of Victoria’s Secret newest Angels. She may not have won the crown during the Miss Venezuela 2010 but Romina is destined for greatness as the first Venezuelan beauty queen turned into an “Angel.”

She is currently with Elite Model – Miami Division. Check her board here.

My heartfelt congratulations to 2012 first runner-up Binibining Pilipinas Elaine Kay Moll for clinching the 3rd Runner-up position at the Miss Supranational 2012!

Rounding up the rest of the finalists are first runner-up Nanthawan Wannachutha of Thailand, Michaela Dihlova of Czech Republic and Sulay Castillo of Ecuador as 2nd and 4th runner-up respectively.

The Official Photos Of Nicole Schmitz For Miss International 2012!

 

Here are the official photos of Nicole Maturan Schmitz, Philippines rep to this year’s Miss International beauty pageant to be held in Okinawa, Japan on October 21. Schmitz is expected to make waves in Japan as this would be the first time since 2007 that the pageant will be held in a non-Chinese territory where some pageant fans from the Philippines theorized that the political rift between the two countries (PHL and PRC) greatly affected the chances of our previous delegates eg., Krista Kleiner and Melody Gersbach to clinch the crown.

With these initial photo releases, is Nicole destined to bring the fifth Miss International crown for the Philippines? What do you think folks?
