Miss Universe RIYO MORI SLAPPED !!! ….. THE GLITTERS, GLAM AND CHEAP GOSSIPS OF MISS UNIVERSE 2008

The Mikimoto Crown

To this - > ???

From really elegant glamorous and precious pearled stunning Mikimoto crown to a $120k worth crown of  white diamonds and stones that looked a little bit different and almost tacky!  

It seems that the Miss Universe has lost that old image of grandeur elegance and now it is really becoming funny, cheap, nasty and even slutty! 

There is sooo much intrigues and bruhaha about the Miss Universe since most of the people involved are soooo intense and passionate about beauty pageants.   I am for one is getting really obssessed and so caught up with third and even fourth hand news of what is going on in Vietnam.   But the best gossips and news are coming from Ines Ligron - the MU Japan National Director.

The latest news is that Miss Universe Riyo Mori was slapped by one of the contestants - Miss Egypt!  Can you believe this ???   Whether true or not - this makes the contest all the more exciting!

Read the whole story here — > Ines

All the delegates were filming for the opening number in their National Costume. Japan and Korea were right on the front… this is bad news maybe it means that they will not be in the finals? I hope not!

Riyo practiced her final speech. This year it will be the first time that a Miss Universe will be dancing on stage during the opening number. Sun will be on the first row, same as Riyo last year. In general they always put the girls who have the best presence and can dance best on the front. In 2003 Amelia Vega was front and Riyo Mori as well last year. Hiroko will be in the back, I am not surprised because she cannot really dance well….

The girls that impressed me today are Czech Republic, Serbia, Russia, Nicragua, Ukraine, Netherlands and Turkey.

I am now in the lobby at the delegate’s hotel, and we are all waiting for the delegates to come. We have an hour sharp to share with them tonight again.

Gossip of the day:

Miss Egypt is a real pain in the neck; she slapped Riyo backstage when by mistake she stepped on her dress. Then she was horrified when she realized she just had slapped Miss Universe! LOL She was saying –“I am sorry I did not know that it was you!!”… Riyo told her: “it is okay, but you should not do that anyway to anyone, this is not really nice”. She was mortified.

Also she shares the room with is Canada and she smokes cigarettes after cigarettes and Miss Canada asked her kindly to pls go outside when she wishes to smoke. She turned around and said: “why? This is MY room?!” Nice girl indeed! Sometimes I wonder why this kind of girl bothers to come here…. Hiroko and Sun adore their respective roommates, they were lucky with Miss Ireland and El Salvador because they are the sweetest girls.

I was seated with the directors of Angola, Antigua and Barbados, Ed of Global Beauties, Osmel Souza and Miss Dominican Republic’ mom at the rehearsals.

The delegates started today at 5 am! And they rehearsed all day

I will write later because Luciano, my good friend whom is the Director of Miss Italy just arrived and I can spot him across the hallway. I want to welcome here. Talk to you after I see the delegates.

FABULOUSNESS … with a PURPOSE!

OMG !!!  I have been searching for old photos and could not find any from my files … so I asked my friends and look what I have found !!!  This was sent by my best friend who saved all my photos in his laptop.  I could not believe I totally forgot about this one taken in 1999 or 2000??  (could not remember) Pride March in Melbourne.  This photo ended up in the local gay newspaper. 

Historically, this was my first ever public gay event and someone dared me to do drag and be the Safe Sex Slut and distribute condoms to people during the march as part of the awareness program of the Aids Council of Victoria - and I did!!!  Kalurkah Valdez!  I have to buy my first evah wiggaloo, some sexy black dress, and stockings from the Op Shop…. Excited ang geygah!  And I wanted to look like a young Lorna T yata so I had that black beauty spot on top of my lips … Emote, emote!  And the photographer made me sit on top of the PFLAG.  More Emote !!! Pang centerfold ng playboy ang pose, emote !!! Flash, flash!

And yes, I was still dalagita (single gurl) at that time… slutty and free

Funny me.  First time to wear high heels and lashes - but I did really enjoy the march and at the same time helped AIDS’ awareness program in Australia.  Ang gu-guapo pa ng mga escorts ko!

And that’s me… Beauty (or Beast) with a Purpose , Charing!!!
