Miss World 2003

Wow, i think i've not seen Miss Ireland in the final 5 before let alone win the Miss World title. *smile* But what can i say, admittedly she is cute, sweet looking. (I was rooting for Miss Canada though. :P) Beauty paegants are always fun when i was a kid. I would imagine myself being one of the contestants in my mind and have a lil girl greeting me on stage to the song of "You are my star". Ok ok so that was Miss Universe.

I guess old age is catching up with me cos nowadays i look at beauty paegants and i go why are the girls so "lembek". This year's Miss World was a big warm fuzzie feeling of an event. Apart from giving out a scholarship to Miss Albania, they had Jackie Chan talking about how Miss World 2003 should epitomise Love and World Peace (Yes, tell us something new.). They also gave out Miss Talent, Miss Sports and Miss Beach Babe. And what is this with the Fast Track winners?? (This isn't Amazing Race, Phil. You don't give out fast forwards in a beauty paegant.)

Anyways, give me the Chinese Troupe acts anytime. They were the ones who really stole the show, especially the WuHan Act Troupe which did an amazing and graceful feat of flying around the stage (with no safety net whatsoever) just by hanging onto to silk ribbons. :) Did anyone pay attention to the costumes on those two lead dancers?? Amazing!

So, yeah another winner crowned, another lucky girl in the world. But remember this favourite quote from The Body Shop - "There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only 8 who do." ACTIVATE SELF ESTEEM

Now i'm going to go have a nice bowl of Ben n Jerry's Cherry Garcia with Baileys. *la di da di da*
