PQD WINNER

The Question is:

"If your face is your fortune, you are pretty much screwed...any comments?"

and the follow up question is

"Do you think you can win a beauty contest if you are not pretty?"


The winner:
"Ang Propesora said... I believe the first question doesn't concern me so I will go on to the follow up question.

No, you can't win a beauty contest if you are not pretty. You have to be exceptionally beautiful in order for you to triumph in this kind of competition. Also, it is not the deciding factor, you should also couple your beauty with wit, charm and class. All of which you are born with and can never be learned nor acquired."

Erika Waters said...

"If I believe that my face is my fortune, then i am the most unfortunate person in the world. That doesn't mean I'm not beautiful, it just means to show that if i believe in that principle - that's how shallow my life has become. My fortune is not with my outside looks, my fortune is what is from within. Life is too superficial if i base my happiness on outside beauty. Beauty contests are made not just for pretty women but also for women who have personality and intelligence. I think beauty, personality and intelligence has equal footing when it comes to Beauty Contests. All of these are important to become who I am as a person, who i am as a woman, and i hope with this example of mine, i can bring home the crown."

NATIONAL COSTUME FIASCO ROCKS MISS UNIBARSE

Controversy surrounds the MISS UNIBARSE competition, this time it's all about the fabulous NATIONAL COSTUMES! First, MISS NORWAY and her luggage was shipped somewhere in Los Angeles instead of Namibia...then you have MISS SOUTH AFRICA collapsing during a photo shoot...and then MISS INDONESIA upsets crowd favorite MISS PHILIPPINES in the voting polls and now this...missing NATIONAL COSTUMES!

MISS KOREA, MISS USA and MISS LEBANON marched their way into F&G and TIARA PRODUCTIONS main offices demanding the natinal costume preliminary competition be re-scheduled until their new costumes arrived from their respective designers. Apparently, custom officials accidently shipped their eloborate national costumes to Manila, instead of Namibia causing 'gi-normous' stress and 'pimple' breakage for these lovely delegates.

MISS KOREA, who speaks very limited English but is fluent in Spanish has this to say about her dilemma, "Mi mano de diseñador pintó cisnes hermosos y grúas en mi seda y dar el traje adornado con cuentas ... y para ello no para ser mostrado durante los prolegómenos muy entristece." Translated in English, Miss Korea said, 'My designer hand painted beautiful swans and cranes in my silk and hand beaded costume...and for it to not be shown during the preliminaries is very saddening." MISS LEBANON, who is also limited in her English has this to say in French, "Si l'organisation n'admet pas, ni comprend notre demande et situation, je vais marcher là-bas le mâle nu!. For our English readers, this is what she said, "If the organization does not acknowledge nor understand our request and situation, I am gonna walk out there on stage buck naked to protest!". MISS USA, was no where to be found during the press conference and interview.

MISS UNIBARSE Organitaion had no choice but to cancel and re-schedule the NATIONAL COSTUME competition until the costumes arrive. In it's place the preliminary SWIMSUIT competition will commence on Monday, May 8, 2006. The National Costume competition is re-scheduled to begin on May 22, 2006.

CONGRATULATIONS to the FIRST 'PEOPLE'S CHOICE' WINNER for FAVORITE HEADSHOT "MISS PHOTOGENIC" from ASIA

First it began with Miss Philippines and Miss Mexico battling it out for the top spot finishing 1st and 2nd respectively. On the third day of competition, an unexpected Miss Indonesia came along, knocking over Miss Mexico's 2nd place position and posing a strong threat to Miss Philippines' reign as the crowd favorite. For days on end, the two battled it out with Miss Philippines leading the polls and Miss Indonesia right behind her. With the polls now close, the battle for the top spot has been established. Who won the very first 'People's Choice' Award for favorite headshot 'Miss Photogenic' for 2006?

CONGRATULATIONS to MISS INDONESIA UNIBARSE 2006, our very first 'People's Choice' Winner for 'Miss Photogenic'. She recieved the most votes during the headshot competition beating out the heavy favorite MISS PHILIPPINES by a narrow margin. MISS MEXICO finished in 3rd place followed by MISS VENEZUELA (4th) and MISS PUERTO RICO (5th). Congratulations Miss Indonesia fans for a job well done!

For winning the 'People's Choice' Award for Miss Photogenic, Miss Indonesia wins a year long modeling contract with F&G PHOTOGRAPHY. She will also travel and live in Los Angeles where she will stay for one year in a luxurous WeCo home and be represented by the exclusive F&G Modeling Agency. But most importantly, she is now a strong contender for that last FAST TRACK spot in the finals in June so keep voting for your favorite delegate and please stay tuned for more 'People's Choice' Awards and voting competitions.

Just a reminder that winning the 'People's Choice' Award for favorite headshot "Miss Photogenic" does not gaurantee the delegate a spot in the finals. The delegate that accumalates the most votes by the end of the month will be fast tracked into the finals. Winning the 'People's Choice' Award for favorite headshot "Miss Photogenic" does not mean the delegate scored the highest during the 'Headshot' competition either. The candidate that scored the highest base on the preliminary judges scores earns a fast track spot and wins the official Miss Photogenic award to be revealed after the preliminary competition.
