Miss Malaysia, Deborah Henry As Miss Universe 2011?

Posted on August 28, 2011 | 1 comment

It’s time for Miss Universe Fever once again and pageant fans all over the world are in oblivion on choosing who deserves to be named the queen of the universe. The 60th edition of the pageant will be staged this year at the beautiful São Paulo, Brazil.

One of those who first arrived in the country was Malaysia’s delegate Deborah Henry. Prior to the contestants’ arrival in Brazil, I’ve my thoughts on who can actually win the crown and I’ve this feeling that an Asian could actually win this year having such powerhouse beauties like Miss China’s Luo Zilin and Miss Philippines, Shamcey Supsup.

Malaysia has never produced a winner nor a runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant. The only time the country had a placement was during the 1970 Miss Universe when Josephine Lena Wong was first called a semi-finalist at that year’s edition.

Will Deborah finally get this one for Malaysia?

Let’s all find out on September 12 to see if Deborah has the Universe waiting for her reign!

Miss Venezuela Universe 2011 Vanessa Goncalvez – Another Marelisa Or Not?

Posted on August 28, 2011 | 1 comment

After the disappointing performance of Marelisa Gibson last year at the 59th Edition of the Miss Universe, Can Vanessa redeem her country and place (and perhaps win) in this year’s pageant? After a back to back win for Venezuela in 2008 and 2009, the country failed to place into the top 15 last year, the first time since 2006 and it’s only the 23rd time that the country failed to be part of the semi-finals. There is a very high expectation for this Venezuelan beauty who competed as Miss Miranda at last year’s Miss Venezuela for a right to represent the country in the Miss Universe. Vanessa is a dentist by profession and is considered by many to be a strong contender for this year’s crown.

 Looking at the pictures below, can she crack the semifinals this year or will she be another Marelisa Gibson? ( peace out, I don’t have anything against Miss Gibson )

Miss Universe 2011 Update: Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup In A Samba Themed Fadil Shot!

Posted on August 27, 2011 | 1 comment

I have been following Shamcey’s every  move closely and I’m glad that she’s showing consistency this early in the competition. I’m hoping she’ll continue this until the preliminaries up to the finals once selected as one of the semi-finalists! This photo is one of the official photoshoots that she did with Miss Universe official photographer Fadil Berisha. She’s wearing a carnival-inspired two-piece dress doing the samba!

Go Shamcey!

Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Winners, Special Awards And Afterthoughts

Posted on April 10, 2011 | 2 comments

The pageant’s ticket stated that the program will start at 7PM but it actually started at around 9PM. Thank goodness, the beautiful goddesses of this year’s competition are worth the wait. It was somewhat a very predictable night with frontrunners and favorites actually winning.

Shamcey Supsup was crowned Binibining Pilipinas – Universe which was pretty obvious for me. From the very beginning, I thought that Shamcey delivered the goods. Her body isn’t perfect but she can still transform it to a better one. The evening gown she wore was hands down one of the better designs even if she didn’t win Best in Evening Gown. It’s as if her win was already a pre-determined one.

Diane Necio however delivered a rather lackluster performance in my opinion. She was definitely the judges and crowd favorite but I thought that the likes of Arevalo, Al-Tawil and Tumulak performed better than her. I’m not taking this away from her. The girl is beautiful but she’s not the best. Congratulations, though, her color would give the Miss International a beautiful flavor come international pageant time.

Isabella Manjon wore a disaster evening gown but her stage presence overpowered that hindrance to actually win the Binibining Pilipinas-Tourism title. She has such a beautiful face and the camera really loves her. Although we didn’t expect her to actually win a crown, we’re still happy that she did.

Janine Tugonon – I was shocked by her runner-up placement because I honestly do not remember a thing about her – or maybe I wasn’t really aware of her during the pre-pageant activities. Was the question given to her about the relevance of winning a beauty pageant at this time of chaos –it’s not the exact question but it’s something of this sort. Well, she didn’t exactly win a crown so I think it’s fair enough.

MJ Lastimosa – I was so disappointed that she didn’t win the Best In Swimsuit category. I really thought that it was already locked for her. She didn’t give a bad answer during the question and answer portion and her articulation was a-okay but I didn’t feel any confidence from her. She should try next year. Please MJ!

Top 10 Predictions For Binibining Pilipinas 2011

Posted on April 8, 2011 | 1 comment

An expected 15 semifinalist will be chosen out of the 40 Candidates for this year’s Binibining Pilipinas but I’d only be predicting whom I think have the biggest chances of landing in the Top 10 as well as our winners prior to the pageant this coming Sunday, April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum. CLICK HERE FOR THE WINNERS AND SPECIAL AWARDS

MJ Lastimosa

Despite her lack of height, I strongly believe that MJ Lastimosa will captivate the judges on Sunday with her very strong stage presence, unique facial structure and that guitar-shaped body. She’s my first choice for Binibining Pilipinas-Universe. She’d definitely rock Brazil, that’s for sure.

Shamcey Supsup

I’m so impressed by her credentials I’m almost sure that Madam Stella Araneta would automatically give her the crown. Without question, she’s one of the strongest contestants this year. She’s got the height, the brains and that very Filipina look but I need more “landi” from her. For now, she’s my alternative to MJ.

Patricia Tumulak

It is a must that this ethereal beauty be crowned come Sunday. I also think  that she’d do great in Brazil for Miss Universe but I still have some doubts about her capabilities to outstage Shamcey’s height and MJ’s body. I’m reserving her the Binibining Pilipinas-Tourism crown.

Queenierich Rehman

I’m seeing a Krista Kliener 2.0 in Queenierich and I’d like to see her get that Bb.Pilipinas-International crown as well. Being a very articulate speaker, a mestiza with a good height – she can do no wrong come Miss International.

Sabrine Al-Tawil

Sabrine would’ve been perfect for a Miss World representation. The competition this year’s real tough; I’m thinking that she’d do well in Miss International but wI’d like to see her explore her options if she’s unlucky after Sunday’s event.

**********

Rounding up the Top 10 are…

Diane Necio

Isabella Manjon

Martha Chloe McCulley

Diana Arevalo

Arabella Anesh

Philippines’ Next Top Models Grendel and Jenilyn Disqualified from Binibining Pilipinas 2011

Posted on February 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

After the official announcement of the 40 Official Candidates of this year Binibining Pilipinas, two of the front-runners were disqualified to continue their quest for the biggest pageant in the country. Philippines’ Next Top Model first and only winner (so far) Grendel Alvarado and PNTM 3rd placer Jenilyn Olivar were shockingly asked to leave the competition that will be held on April at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Binibining Pilipinas Organization has yet to release a statement regarding their disqualifications but such cases are not new to the pageant’s history. Some of the most noted disqualifications includes model and VJ Joey Mead in 2001 due to her age which is  27 – the maximum age required for the pageant then is 25. In 2004, Actress Juliana Palermo was not allowed to join the pageant because of her appearance in a sexy film and in 2009, front runner Sandra Seifert was disqualified from the competition two days before the coronation night due to her FHM pictorials . Seifert end up winning the rival pageant Miss Earth-Philippines and bagged the runner-up crown at the Miss Earth pageant of the same year.  These are some of the wasted Binibining Pilipinas aspirants who are said to have great potentials in the international pageants. (proven by Seifert)

‘guess we just have to wait for the official statement of the Bb. Pilipinas and hope for some  divine intervention…

Posted on February 1, 2011 | 4 comments

For the first time in the pageant history, 40 beautiful ladies were chosen to vie for the three crowns of the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 which will be held at the Araneta Coliseum this coming April. The three winners will represent the country to the Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Globe-International. CLICK HERE FOR THE WINNERS AND SPECIAL AWARDS

Pilipinas-Universe and Miss Universe 4th Runner Up, Maria Venus Raj.

From the pictures below, who do you think has what it takes to win any of the three international crowns?

as of press time (03.24.11), four girls were already disqualified from the competition and 4 other girls from the screening were asked to comeback to complete the magic 40!
Disqualified from the competition are Grendel Alvarado, Jen Olivar -both are alums of Philippines Next Top Model, Roxanne Cabanero and most recently, Bianca Paz.
