Miss St Martin,Miss Japan
Quick "Miss Universe" update on the previous post: if we are going to discuss global differences, how can we not mention a competition where 1/2 the world was represented. This year, I had 2 evident rooting interests: St-Martin (allez le papou !)and Ethiopia (allez la mirou !). Sadly, Tunisia or Madagascar did not send anyone (FYI, Madagascar only send once, 1961, a representant.)
Quick thoughts from a show that has been losing relevance for a while now but seems to have picked up steam this year:
1. Porto Rico won, congrats to PR ! However, I think the judges missed out on a great potential Miss Universe in 2nd place Japan. She really was the star of the show as she was beautiful, sparky and actually had something relevant to say in 4 languages nonetheless. She wants to be a UN delegate, her French is effortless and she is a bit of an activist as she states that if she could change anything in history, she would erase all the gender inequalities that have plagued and still plague the world. Maybe a little too political for the judges, ...evidently scared the male judges away.... pity.
2. I wonder if miss Israel and miss Lebanon shared a room and bedtime stories.
3. Miss Ethiopia seemed preoccupied (with good reasons: Ethiopia invaded Somalia this week-end)
4. St Martin ( 37 sq mile island ) sends a rep twice in 5 years and Madagascar 1 in 54 years ? Didn't we start a highly publicized model agency 10 years ago ?
