Miss USA tumbles On Stage

Tuesday, May 29, 2007

When America conquered the moon, the Philippines conquered the Universe.

- Pres. Nixon, 1969

The quote above has nothing to do with Miss USA's Rachel Smith falling on stage during the evening gown competition of Miss Universe 2007 held at Mexico City, Mexico.

Falling on stage is not an unusual thing to happen. C'mon, you've seen a lot of it at America's Funniest Home Videos and other home video shows. But this is an exception, with over 1 Billion audience worldwide, falling on a Miss Universe stage could be a traumatic (like Miss USA) or a winning (like Miss Philippines) experience.

Pics of my favorite National Costumes.

What I love about Ms. South Africa is that she looks so modern but then in touch with the African culture. The neck and arm rings are very African as well as the animal skin bottoms (animal rights activist? yooohooo). The color of her clothes compliments with her blonde hair. Alluring.

According to Ric from missosology.org, our Ms. Philippines is one of the contestant to watch out for. Too bad she didn't made it to the Top 15 Ms Universe predictions list. She made it or not, she's competing anyways! And with her black Filipiniana accented with flower prints, she will surely be a winner one way or the other. For me, the dark make-up busted thw whole effect of the Filipina beauty, she also looks kind of Spanish with her feather mask. But in the totality, she is stunning! Just look how she projects -- and her finger!

Oh yeah. Ms. Mexico captured me. I love her sombrero. Just like Ms. Philippines, I didn't liked her dark make-up. If only there is an award for Best Smile, Ms. Mexico would surely win that award!
