miss "universe"

i don't know how they can have "universe" in the title...the contestants are really only from one planet. the whole universe is not represented. where's miss mars? miss jupiter? miss sun? just like in baseball, they have the "world" series. really, the teams are only from the US, and a couple from canada. so in reality, it should only be called the north american series. c'mon, let's call it what it is.

i was extremely disappointed this year. i got back from breakfast just in time to see the top 10 announced. sadly, my countries weren't represented...miss india and miss philippines didn't make it. (yeah yeah yeah, miss usa made it...whatever). then they had the evening gown competition...i was ready to be blown away. unfortunately my hopes crashed and burned. i was really turned off by the "fakeness" of it...too much posing, too much effort to look sultry and sexy, too much deliberation in their walk. i longed for someone to be natural, to be free, to be...REAL. it didn't help that the singer was awful, too. they needed andrea bocelli or josh groban. was nice to see an asian, miss japan, amongst all the latinas. and she made it to top 5! oh wow...down to top 2, and she's still there...

announcing the winner now...congratulations to miss puerto rico! oh yuck, she did the ugly cry. i saw oprah describe that on her show once. what was up with her dress??? she looked so uncomfortable in it...and i was uncomfortable watching her. her walk is the most robotic i've ever seen. oh well...i criticize that which i envy.

props goes out to miss philippines, lia andrea ramos, for winning miss photogenic! my people are beautiful! but have you seen aishwarya rai? hands down most beautiful woman of all time, all galaxies, all universes.
