“Like That Also Can Ah?!!”

Miss Universe? UNIVERSE?

Published by simon on July 24, 2006

I’m watching the prime time delayed telecast of the Miss Universe 2006 on Astro. I haven’t seen one of these pageants for like a million years, my mom used to watch them when I was a kid. She used to go ‘Wah, Miss US Virgin Islands also not bad ah?’ and ‘Eeyer, Miss China not pretty one…’)

Anyways, I have a few questions. I can understand ‘Miss World’ or ‘Miss Earth’ or ‘Miss Carlsberg Seedy Pub 2006’, but ‘Miss Universe’? Where’s Miss Jupiter? Miss Uranus? (I said ‘Uranus’, not ‘Your…’ never mind…). If you’re gonna say your competition is representative of the universe, at least the eight-legged translucent green bug species from Mercury to send their most beautiful hermaphrodite representative. Not forgetting the Klingon beauty queen. Yeah, that one will give Earth’s girls a good run for their money.

Speaking of which, when they were parading the 80-plus girls from all over the globe in their evening gowns or swimwear, I thought I saw Donald Trump salivating in the audience shopping for his next wife.

Anyway, the interview portion of the show is going to start soon. Excuse me while I start counting how many times I hear the phrases ‘world peace’ and ‘hungry children of the world’.

  1. inevitable Said,

    Hey, I have the same question too. Btw, what’s so different between Miss Universe and Miss World?

  2. Ken Said,

    Yeah I saw Donald Trump when they were introducing the judges. He seems to be sulking - probably cos he’s not selected to be one. Hahaha.

    And did you notice that the “All-International” panel of judges are somehow “All-American”?

  3. mama23beas Said,

    Now…how come I never thought about that. Thanks Simon for giving me something else to ponder, besides…”This datuk k is really rich la…the house that the ex-wife tuntut as harta sepencarian costs RM7mil, I wonder who will get the tender to supply the bunga telur for the wedding of the year etc, etc…”

  4. Naz Said,

    Donald Trump owns the whole Ms Universe franchise la… Surely he could be on the judges panel if he wanted.

    But if he was, he might just say to Miss Japan “YOU’RE FIRED!”

  5. anjali* Said,

    I actually wanted Japan to win.
    Was switching channels between “Miss Universe” and “I should not be alive”. Heh.

  6. Gallivanter Said,

    Pity Japan didn’t win the crown. As for the Klingon beauty queen - we have Miss Singapore for that now, don’t we? LOL!

    Trump was indeed shopping for his next sex-prentice. Hahaha!

  7. S-Kay Said,

    I got sick looking at their bodies. This batch like damn skinny can? Summore so muscular. I was rooting for Miss Japan…aiseh…wasted…

  8. Offline Geek Said,

    You missed one thing - ‘Miss Venus’.
    Heard that women were from this planet before they were sent to planet earth.I guess Donald Trump is getting his new toupee first before shoppin’ for his next wife:)

  9. simon Said,

    inevitable - different organizer, i suppose. plus miss world not so glam one.

    mama23beas - really?! RM7 million? gila man.

    ken - and they actually got reality show winners to judge ms, universe. sheesh.

    Naz - i wonder if he had any say in the finalist…?

    anjali - ms. japan probably won lots of votes for her multilingual tongue… pity the japanese translator who went onstage and didn’t get to do anything.

    gallivanter - woooh… :) actually i missed ms singapore.

    s-kay - yeah, miss japan was a surpise finalist. but notice how they chose the 5? got latino, got asian, got american, got european, but no african la…

    offline geek - miss venus… would probably be kidnapped by the men from mars.

  10. IX Said,

    if Miss Sun got enter, she surely will win it because she’s simply too hot :D

  11. Laksa Said,

    hehe, my thoughts exactly - i think the term is too misleading. should just stick to our planet…

  12. lucia Said,

    i have the same thought too. i always wonder why there are 2 - miss universe and miss world, what’s the difference. then i also thought why miss universe, when it involved only our universe, earth.

    i too wante miss japan to win. what a pity she didn’t. the judges seems to favour puerto rico. puertoe rico was 1st runer up last year and if i’m not mistaken, almost every year, they will be among the top 5.

  13. Jürgen (Jay) Hösch Said,

    I think those beauty contests are pretty much overrated..
    But imho it is sad to see, that people who are angaged in a contest like this (which try to match values and objectives of the whole world) are getting sued in their own country (I’m speaking of miss indonesia atm).

    best regards,

    Jürgen

  14. simon Said,

    IX - and her future is very bright!

    laksa - i doubt miss pluto would come. cost of rocket fuel is so high these days…

    lucia - end of the day, beauty id subjective, isn’t it? i thought the winner was far too thin, some more metal dress.

    jay - i thought miss indon looked ok. i didn’t hear what she said, though.
