Miss World contest in Phana? It sounds unlikely, but if my eyes did not deceive me the event took place here just last week. Here are the two comperes, just about recognisable as residents of Moo 8.
Here come the contestants. First on stage is Miss Vietnam:
She is followed by Miss Japan. Both these contestants were well-received by the enthusiastic audience.
Unfortunately, Miss Lao was not greeted with universal respect. There were several unsavoury comments made about her appearance straight from taking a bath! Some people thought she could have made a bit more effort in the dressing-up department.
The same could not be said for Miss Thailand. She did the occasion justice by putting on her best outfit and lots of gold jewellery (probably borrowed for the occasion, but that's not to detract from her stunning appearance).
But the biggest cheer was reserved for the final contestant, Miss USA. You can see why she was such a hit.
And here is the full line-up waiting for the judges' decision:
I suppose the result was a foregone conclusion. Who do YOU think is the winner? (Pick the runner-up as well and you could be in for a big prize!) Let me know what you think. Answers in my next post.
Lawrence I wondered where Miss Cambodia was but then again.........
