It has been well over 34 years since South Africa won its first Miss Universe crown – courtesy of Margaret Gardiner – in Acapulco, Mexico. And Melinda Bam is planning to put a lid on that number. The beautiful Miss Universe South Africa 2012 wants to take it all the way in Las Vegas and effectively bring her country to the elite group of double victory holders in the pageant.
Can brimming confidence, coupled with the fierce attitude of a winner, bring Melinda close enough to the most hotly-contested crown this year? Do keep in mind that her controversial no-go to the Miss World 2012 in Ordos (which should’ve been the case since Miss South Africa titleholders are usually sent to both Miss Universe and Miss World) caused some stir in the proverbial hornet’s nest when she was retracted from Julia Morley’s show due to ‘personal reasons’.
Regardless, my gut feel is that she prefers to be seen at Miss Universe and not the other one. This sharp-as-a-razor lady knows what she wants and how to get it. 😉
Granted, South Africa has sent very strong contenders in the past. Who will forget Vanessa Carreira, and my favourite Cindy Nel. South Africa should have walked off with the MU crown plenty of times before, but let’s give Melinda her just dues, THE GIRL IS ON FIRE!! 🙂 … She’s paces ahead of everyone in the pack. If she doesn’t win, at least she gave it her best. And there is no shame in that. Thank you.

Hot, hot ,hot!

Miss Bam is another reason for the excitement of Donald,
5 orgasms will not be enough, make it sex, este 6.
Baaaaaaam!
Norman — Not sure about Melinda. I’ve seen stronger candidates from South Africa in the past. The reason Melinda bowed out from Miss World was that she was “concerned” that if she won or even placed as a top 3 (heaven forbid!), it would have rendered her ineligible to compete in the Miss Universe pageant — there is simply no stopping her from meeting “The Donald”. So she’s definitely brimming with confidence, as you said. Anway, I would have thought that her refusal to compete in Miss World would’ve been a breach of her contract as Miss South Africa, but I guess the pageant organizers let her have her way and let her pick and choose.
My same feelings about Melinda (and you can actually sense my reservations in the write-up above).
A tad of the subject here, but what do you think of this year’s candidate from Jamaica?
She’ll be coming up, Glenn! 😉
