The Miss Universe Organization just confirmed that this year’s Miss Universe will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on December 19. This would be the fourth time the city is hosting the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world!

Will our very own Janine Tugonon get the same support Venus Raj received in 2010 where she placed 4th runner-up? I think Yes!

So see you in Vegas folks!!!

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.

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?
