KOLOHE's CORNER: BREATHTAKING BEAUTIES DOMINATES the HEADSHOT COMPETITION

Hello Everyone,

"WOW" is all I can say after viewing the delegates in the first competition of the preliminaries. I was speechless! I actually saw just the first group of delegates competing their headshots and they were simply beautiful. Their national directors definitely did their homework and sent Miss Unibarse Organization the fiercest group ever! Kudos to the creative team of F&G Photography and Tiara Productions is also in order. The level of artistry is unmatched and the stakes are definitely raised from their West LA humble beginnings.

As promised, I will give you a play by play of the goings on behind the scenes just like how they do it in the NFL, only difference is our 'shop' talk is about lipstick and tiara's and not touchdowns and tight ends...although, nevermind. Let us begin with the first group of delegates:

Miss Argentina-Unibarse 2006: She was a bit 'stoned' looking during her arrival photos but this girl turned up the heat during the headshot competition. She was very sweet and pristine with her photos I have nothing but praises for this girl...she worked it and those bitches better be 'scuuuured'.

Miss Angola-Unibarse 2006: If there was an award for 'Best in Smile' this girl wins it hands down! Her smile is contagious and she is always smiling...duh! In terms of her photo shoot she is another strong delegate, a bublier and younger version of last year's Miss Angola, she is definitely Top 25 material.

Miss Aruba-Unibarse 2006: Her 'Pocahantas', Native American/Latin feel is one of her strong assets. I like this girl because she is not afraid to try on different poses and that's very hard considering they don't bend easily. Her dusky complexion registers well on camera. My only concern is her feet, she's got huge feet! Wonder what she will do during the swimsuit and I can only hope her evening gown is long! Great follow-up delegate Aruba!

Miss Australia-Unibarse 2006: Her photograph is very 'ethereal' in composition. Her blond hair blowing with the wind is very cool to look at. I love her photo but I am not too fond of her lipstick selection. She needs to tone it down a bit, perhaps go for the more neutral colors to bring out her expressive eyes. Nontheless, another great follow up from the land down under!

Miss Botswana-Unibarse 2006: Last year's Miss Botswana failed to make the cut and this year's delegate is back with a vengeance. She is sultry, sexy and very mochalateeee! Her big brown eyes and her long luscious hair are her greatest assets. During her photo shoot, she was one of the girls who had a hard time with the posing, she was stiff but she only needed one shot and she got it.

Miss Brazil-Unibarse 2006: Dusky and pouty, this 'Jennifer Hudson' look-a-like is strong in all her photos. She was mentioned to have an attitude problem during the photo shoot but those were all 'gossip' from the insecure delegates. Watch for Miss Brazil to shine in the swimsuit and evening gown competition.

Miss Canada-Unibarse 2006: Canada sends a Natalie Glebova and Oxana Feradova clone to this year's Miss Unibarse competition and the whole 'Unibarse' has their eyes set on her to win it all. Personally, she seems 'icy' but you can't deny her beautiful face.

Miss China-Unibarse 2006: Stunning, exotic and captivating, China sends another well polished delegate to this year's competition. She is considered to be Asia's front runner but another Asian delegate wants her spot in the finals. Would it be chowmein or pad thai for the finals...it all depends on the judges.

Miss Chile-Unibarse 2006: Chile has a strong following, they have a Chilean cheering group and the y are not afraid to show their love and support for Miss Chile. A special 'shout out' goes out to the 'GrupoDeChile' bunch! Your delegate is purrty, a younger and brunette version of Geena Davis.

Miss Colombia-Unibarse 2006: Three words: PLA-TI-NUM! She is smooookin'. The only issue the photographer had with her during the shoot was she needed to tone down her 'sex appeal' big time! Her photos were looking a bit 'hoochie' but she worked it out and her photos are fan-ta-bu-lous!

Miss Costa Rica-Unibarse 2006: In person she is striking and her beauty is threatening but her photo shoot was disappointing. We expected a lot from this delegate but all she gave us during the shoot was 'vanilla'. Still love her though, go RED!

Miss Curacao-Unibarse 2006: She has the biggest and most expressive eyes in the competition. The photographers were worried her eyes would register as 'looking scared' and 'gulat' but she looked like she over dozed in 'serenity pills'.

Miss Denmark-Unibarse 2006: One word: "Haaaaaaaay!" Doesn't she look like she fell down on the set? This girl has the coolest hair style in the bunch she gets a nod from the 'fashion poilce'. Love the gurl, not the pose!

Miss Dominican Republic-Unibarse 2006: Last year Dominican Republic won 3rd Runner Up, this year they are here to WIN! She is simply breathtaking. One of the prettiest faces in the competition, I love this girl and I am sure she will have no problems working her way into the Top 5!

Miss Egypt-Unibarse 2006: She looks like she got on a lion's 'mane' and she tried to get some votes showing us a 'nipple shot' in her headshot. Sort of 'skanky' but the picture works. Hate the pose, love the hair and those piercing blue-ish-purple-ish pair of eyes! Great delegate Egypt!

Miss Ethiopia-Unibarse 2006: For those of you who following the current installment of 'American Idol' many of our crew and fans have commented that this girl looks like Paris Bennett, AI's recent castaway. I beg to differ, Miss Ethiopia does not look like a 'troll'! She reminds me of a younger version of Oprah Winfrey. Great hair, great dress and definitely great headshot!

Miss France-Unibarse 2006: She looks oily but she has one of my favorite headshots in the bunch. If you look at her photo, she looks doll-like. One thing I didn't like is that her dress looks like it's falling off and her Victoria Secret push up bra is saying 'peek-a-boo'!

Miss Germany-Unibarse 2006: Miss Germany has to most beautiful green eyes in the competition. Her German/Middle Eastern beauty shines through in her photos that a lot of the press photographers covering the event pick her as this year's Miss Photogenic. We will soon find out if the judges agree with their pick.

Miss Greece-Unibarse 2006: Anyone who can pull of 'blue' eye shadow with an orange dress needs to be in the top 5. This girl is brave to go againts the 'fashion police' covering the pageant. Miss Greece is a deadringer to last year's Miss Chile, who placed 2nd runner up, that a lot of the girls ask her...'what are you doing back?'.

Miss Honduras-Unibarse 2006: This looks like a first communion photo with the light gently hitting the side of her head from the heavens. I don't see anything special with this headshot but I loooove her lipstick color.

Miss Iceland-Unibarse 2006: Pretty girl but her hair color matches the dress. A bit over kill in my opinion but 'maganda siya'. For our English readers, 'she puuurty'. She has a fresh look, one we have not seen in this pageant, probably because she has been 'discontinued'. Best of luck Miss Iceland!

Miss India-Unibarse 2006: A lotof pageant aficionado compare her to aformer Miss World from India. Do you know who I am referring to? Good, who is it again?!? Anyways, she is beautiful and her make up is flawless. She should win 'Miss Clairol's Best Colored Hair' because she's worth it!

Miss Indonesia-Unibarse 2006: At first, I thought she looked like Miss Japan and Miss China but if you look closely, she doesn't or does she?!? Looking very ethnic in her arrival photo, we expected little from this delegate. This goes to show that we 'can't judge her, because she's not a book', this guuurl worked it and she turned in the best set of headshots in Miss Unibarse history! Way to go Indonesia!

Miss Italy-Unibarse 2006: Visitors at the website have compared her to 'Jade' from ANTM Cycle 5. To a certain extent, she does resemble her but one thng is foo sure, Miss Italy Unibarse ain't no 'undiscovered supermodel'! She is Italy's Top Model and she has the best pair breasts in the competition.

Miss Japan-Unibarse 2006: Regal, statuesque and oh-so-gorgeous, Miss Japan is another front runner from Asia. She has been compared to the exquisite Kikiko Kinakati, Japan's former Miss Toyota Corolla World winner. Miss Japan has a quite confidence, very serene and calm in nature. Wait till you see her evening gown...WOW!

Miss Jamiaca-Unibarse 2006: Looks like Miss Italy's long lost twin sister only darker. She's got the long, wavy hair going, fresh attitude and those big doe eyes. Miss Jamaica has 'no problem' of getting into the top 25 in June.

Miss Kenya-Unibarse 2006: Make up must have been cheap where she came from 'cause she brought a lot! This gurl is wearing too much makeup that she looks like a pretty drag queen waiting to go perform on stage! Her headshot is undeniably fashion forward. Love the hair, the lighting and the stand. Great job Kenya!
