Miss Poland Paulina Krupińska for Miss Universe 2013

From flamboyant to enigmatic to sexy to plain sweet, Paulina Krupińska can assume many pegs.

From flamboyant to enigmatic to sexy to plain sweet, Paulina Krupińska can assume many pegs.

For 25 year-old Miss Universe Poland 2013 Paulina Krupińska, it’s all in a day’s work to take on an assortment of modeling roles in front of the camera. And why not? She is quite good at shifting images in a snap. I’m pretty sure Fadil Berisha will have a blast shooting her glamshots in particular. Now as far as duplicating or exceeding the semifinal placement of Marcelina Zawadzka in MU2012 remains a totally different concern.
PaulinaKrupińska41 You see, Paulina and her predecessor are two different types of beauty with the latter displaying a far more sensual-girly vibe. So for now, let’s wait and see if Moscow and Mr. Trump will be just as giving (or rewarding if you will) to this Polish babe who, by the way, stands 1.78m with vital stats of 36-24-35. Shapely! 😉

While it is the ultimate objective of any beauty queen to capture the international crown in her pageant assignment, there is something about the aura and disposition of Miss Philippines Earth 2013 Angelee Claudett delos Reyes that gives pageant followers the gut-feel that she has the extra kick to rise one notch higher than her predecessor (Stephany Stefanowitz) who placed 2nd to Tereza Fajksova last year. And the girl has been very vocal about her strong desire to do a Karla Henry and achieve a Philippine win in Miss Earth for the second time.

I have no doubts about it – i.e., the 110% commitment to exceed her personal standards and give additional honor to her countrymen in the global stage. And while there remains the constant likelihood of the Philippines hosting yet another edition (unless negotiations with Thailand pull through), the sweet, tactful and diplomatic Angelee is out to prove that she is worth the environmental crown on her own passion and merits. 😉

Jeanette Borhyová: Slovak Rep’s Miss for MU2013

JeanetteBorhyová31 JeanetteBorhyová41 You might have noticed, dear readers, that I’ve been giving spot features to the uber gorgeous Central and Eastern European Miss Universe 2013 delegates of late. I thought it best to concentrate on this regional group first because its individual reps will most likely be the ‘favored’ participants in Moscow come October-November.

21 year-old Jeanette Borhyová could be one of the hand-picked if she sustains her legally blonde beauty all the way to the preliminaries. While she may not be as statuesque (5’7.5″) as her predecessors, there is this seductively alluring vibe in her aura that could drive men crazy. But then again, there’s no guarantee of winning despite possessing that quality. There must be more she can offer to gain the nod of the judges. Right now, my nod as an armchair judge still remains unmoved. Let’s see how this future economist will handle the supply and demand of her presence in MU2013. 😉

Eastern Europe-bound, these ladies are

I just thought of using the promo ads of the Bb. Pilipinas Gold winners for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and put a link on what awaits Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ara Arida and Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2013 in their respective pageant assignments abroad. They actually have the most enviable destinations. So aside from preparing emotionally and physically for the competition, both of them should also be ready to immerse themselves into the interesting cultures of Russia (for Ara) and Belarus (for Mutya).

Miss Universe Serbia Ana Vrcelj: placing 3rd ain’t bad at all

Ana Vrcelj can now stare at the Miss Universe Serbia crown with amazement.

Ana Vrcelj can stare at the Miss Universe Serbia crown with extra amazement. It’s hers now.

anavrcelj41 Ana Vrcelj may have only ranked third in Miss Serbia 2012. But the fortuitous turn of events that befell her way led to a changing of the placements. Top placer Nikoline Bojić (who was supposed to go to Miss World 2013) had to give up her crown after it was discovered that she is married to Canadian tennis player Frank Dancevic. As a result, second placer Aleksandra Doknic (who was supposed to go to Miss Universe 2013) moved up to Miss World Serbia. And having placed 2nd Runner-Up, Ana got promoted with the privilege of representing her country in Moscow, Russia.

Given her academic background, the 20 year-old native of Srbsko can also be a qualified representative of Serbia to Miss Earth 2013. Having started her Forestry studies before competing for the national pageant, she has the right environmental background for it. Of course, what’s Miss Earth compared to Miss Universe? Nothing can stop her from enjoying Moscow, regardless if she biked, roller-skated or skied (Ana’s hobbies) her way to the Russian capital. 😉

The Kiss of Controversy

Our favorite non-beauty queen beauties are in the news again. And this time, Isabelle Daza and Georgina Wilson are throwing their support for gay rights by uploading a photo on Instagram showing them in an oh-so-intriguing kiss that is drawing mixed reactions from the public. We all know that two are as gay-friendly as the next fag hag. But we are also aware that they are cousins in real life. So take your side on the controversy if you will.

Personally, I don’t really care that much although the ‘incestuous’ tag is spicy while it lasts. It is blog-worthy as well. 😉

Will Ariane and Cedrick zoom to popularity after winning Bodyshots X 2013?

One of my Top 2 picks among the female contenders – Ariane Gargonio – was named winner of Bodyshots X 2013 together with her male counterpart Cedrick Evan Vergonia at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre of Resorts World Manila last night. Will the duo be able to rise above the tough world of modeling and claim their share of fame in the years to come? It all remains to be seen.

Ariane is showing promise to take part in Binibining Pilipinas a year or two from now, though.

Congratulations are in order for the meantime. 🙂

Ara Arida: no time for love

Actor Ervic Vijandre admitted to courting our Ara long before winning MUP2013.

It seems that cupid’s arrow won’t work on Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ara Arida. At least not between now and immediately after her date with destiny in Miss Universe 2013.

You see, TV/Film actor Ervic Vijandre admitted to PEP.ph that he has been courting Ara for quite some time now but to no avail. He even added that he has been earnestly wooing our queen ever since the latter joined Bb. Pilipinas Gold. Sadly for the showbiz hunk (who is also a Mercator talent), he has been getting nothing but sweet smiles – no more, no less. Which is just fine because present priority mandates focus on training and preparations for MU2013. Love can wait. And it has nowhere but the backseat to occupy.

And should it happen that Ara conquers the Miss Universe crown come November 9, the more that she won’t have time for love. Which is super fine because that is what we want her to achieve. No need for additional distractions. Right, dear readers? 😉

P.S. It’s not my style to post showbiz-related stories, but this is just too good to pass up on. 🙂

People are excited about the December wedding of well-loved Shamcey Supsup to Lloyd Lee.

courtesy of NicePrint Channel

December 29, 2013 is the date when our beloved Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner-Up Shamcey Supsup will tie the knot with fiance Lloyd Lee. It has been two years since the couple started getting serious about their relationship. And while there are the usual kinks/beliefs associated with a Filipino-Chinese union, everything seems to be going swimmingly smooth as far as engagement and preparations are concerned. In fact, if you will watch the photo/video above, you will see that details (peculiar to Chinese practices) were followed to the letter to insure that their upcoming wedding will be filled with good fortune.

Aren’t you just happy for the two? 😉
