Megan proved to be THE ONE as she was catapulted at the top of the Miss World scoreboard tonight in Bali finally clinching the elusive crown of Miss World for the Philippines.
Megan, moments after her crowning!
Megan Young when asked why she must be the next Miss World: “The Miss World for me treasures the core values of humanity and a guide to understanding people, why they act the way that they do, the way they live their lives, and I will use these core values and my understanding – not only by helping others but to show other people how they can understand others, so that as one, together, we shall help society. Thank you.”
Young, made history tonight as the first Filipina to win the Miss World title. She beats out 126 other delegates from around the globe succeeding fellow Asian, 2012 Miss World title holder Wenxia Yu from The People’s Republic Of China.
Megan’s leading the scoreboard all throughout the competition!

Prior to the coronation night, Megan was already a hot favorite to win the crown especially after finishing first in the Top Model event as well as being a finalist in two other fast track events which includes the Beach Fashion and Multimedia Fast track.
Megan along with the Miss World Organization headed by Mrs. Julia Morley will be traveling the world to promote the cause of the organization during her year-long reign.
Thank you Megan for the great honor you brought upon our country. Continue to inspire us and the rest of the world by your genuine smile, dashing personality and a giving heart. Truly, you are the definition of true beauty – beauty with a purpose.
Tis’ probably the longest title of any of my blog entries. Anyways, it’s such a delight to feature one of my favorite Top Model winners ever! My shorty diva, Melissa werking it in the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia as part of her winnings in the eight series of Australia’s Next Top Model.
I was right all along! Yay! I’m so happy! Melissa Juratowich won the title after beating out Shanali Martin who came in second and third placer Nyadak “Duckie” Thot during the finale held tonight becoming the eight winner of Australia’s Next Top Model succeeding Montana Cox!
Wow! She’s officially the shortest winner of Australia’s Next Top Model!
And we’re down to the final three who will battle it out on Tuesday to succeed Montana Cox in the hopes of becoming Australia’s Next Top Model. This season is all about diversity! If you’ve been following the show, we have three unique girls who made it all the way to the finale. Since I like these three girls, I decided to make a portfolio battle and stamped the name of the girl whom I think nailed each shoot! So let’s start…
So apparently, Melissa has got my vote to win this season. I’m such a fan of this girl from the very start and I’m glad she’s part of the top 3. Close second would be Duckie who has been very consistent all through out. Lastly is Shanali whom I think is the chosen one by the judges. We’ll see this coming Tuesday how this all would wrap up – I’m just hoping for the best girl to win this season!
Everyone is still ecstatic about Mutya Datul’s win in Belarus, and Filipino pageant fans all over the world are abuzz about the upcoming Miss World 2013, where our very own Megan Young is considered one of the front runners, possibly giving the Philippines a back-to-back international title. On the sidelines, the ever-so-watched and most beloved international beauty pageant in our country, Miss Universe (considered the most prestigious), isn’t making much noise—even our very own Miss Universe Philippines, Ariella Arida, who will be competing in Moscow in November to hopefully continue our country’s three-year Top 5 streak in the pageant, isn’t getting the hype. We all know that Ara has a very tough mission to accomplish, and at the moment, not everyone is happy about her progress. I would like to think that it’s a strategy on her part to keep a low profile prior to the pageant, but the pictures bubbling up every now and then are producing polarizing opinions from Filipinos and non-Filipino pageant fans alike.
Let’s take a moment to rewind and trace the evolution of Ara’s appearance, beginning with her first participation in a national pageant, Miss Philippines Earth 2012. Ara represented the Municipality of Alaminos, Laguna, during the 2012 edition of Miss Philippines Earth, but unfortunately, she didn’t secure a win. Nevertheless, Ara exuded a radiant freshness during her time in the competition—though her physique might not have been as toned back then, her facial beauty was already remarkable!
Why she didn’t make the cut, I honestly don’t know.
Ara looking so glorious in white!
I believe that in 2012, Ara didn’t exude the same flirty vibe she showcased during this year’s Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
Now, fast forward to this year’s Binibining Pilipinas: Ara remained somewhat under the radar during the Binibining Pilipinas Gold edition. I found myself favoring heavy favorites like Elima, De Leon, Datul, and even Apuad over her, and she didn’t even make it into any of my hot picks—which leaves me pondering. Am I perhaps biased, or simply overlooking her? I suppose it’s a bit of both. However, after witnessing her live performance at the Araneta Coliseum, Ara skyrocketed to the top of my hot picks—almost like a zero-to-hero transformation. On coronation night, she proved exceptional, and in hindsight, she may have been the most consistently outstanding contestant throughout the entire competition.

Glamshots it is!

Now, that is what I call non-stop perseverance from her. Despite not winning any titles or awards during the 2012 Miss Philippines Earth, she still gained valuable experience that would catapult her to the most prestigious national beauty title: Miss Universe Philippines.

Let’s now look at the present Ara

Here’s Ara now. Are you loving her tan?
In your opinion, is she improving, or is she undergoing a Benjamin Button transformation, where she isn’t getting any better? In my honest opinion, I believe our girl is steadily progressing. Despite the presence of numerous super-goddess delegates in this year’s Miss Universe edition, I trust the team behind her—who have nurtured Venus, Shamcey, and Janine—won’t settle for anything less. There’s something she is keeping from us; I can sense it in my bones. Let’s rally behind her and give her all the support she needs. Good luck, Ara! FOR THE PHILIPPINES!

Looking so fab!

This was actually a very strong final four – it feels like the competition was whittled down to the best girls to battled it out until the end but this being a pre-finale episode, we still need to see one of them go and sadly it had to be…
Abbie Weir still werked it BIG time!
This was from one of their challenge shoots this episode, the Mermaid photoshoot challenge. I thought Abby nailed this one but she just really fell short over all according to the judges. I really thought that she had this in the bag after getting first call out last week! It’s nice, though, that she went home with this amazing shot. She’ll be fine…
Beyond!
Duckie’s Alien Shot
3rd Call out went to Duckie – I love Duckie from the very start but if I’m being honest, I would have Abbie than her at the finale.
S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G
2nd Call out went to Melissa – that face is one in a million! Let’s face it, this girl’s gonna have a big modeling career after this! Paging IMG!!!
and the Photo of the Season was awarded to…
Photo Of The Season?
I’m not exactly in agreement with the judges calling Shanali’s photo the best in the series. I thought it was still Melissa’s 50’s housewife that was most memorable and just pure enigmatic. We have to give it to Shanali though for being the most consistent girl this year – is she destined successor of Queen Montana?
