From (clockwise top left): Austria to Australia to Guyana to Israel to Finland to Ecuador to Switzerland to Angola to Kazakhstan, the ladies of the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant are starting to get their respective grooves on.

As the delegates of the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant are starting to settle in nicely and getting their grooves on for the competition, it’s initially a battle of grabbing the most attention from everyone around – from fellow contestants to hair/make-up professionals to hotel employees to hotel kibitzers.
There is an element of survival in a contest like this. And only the more aggressive grab the lion’s share of notices.
Sure, the more reticent ones may also get glances, but none moreso than the ones who know how to play the game. 😉
And you should know by know which among them can.

MJ is hot no doubt. She’s working it. She’s putting into use what she’s learned from the rigorous training she underwent. She looks so prepared and relaxed. She will go very far in the competition.
Btw, the dark smooth skin of Ms Kenya is driving me wild. She is so beautiful. She reminds me of Lupita Nyong’o
Wow, MJ is fierce! I’m not sure who is responsible for assigning the delegates which swimsuit to wear but I am so glad she ended up with this style as opposed to the other styles I see the other delegates are wearing. This style totally complements MJ’s curves just right!
Happy to see that our girl is not doing bad at all. Keep it up MJ. =)
Wow! Bongga! Excited na ang lahat pati ako! tama ba mga Beks?
Mga mars, maglalakas loob akong sabihin na di ko bet ang outfit na itey…
I said the same thing and of course I got all the thumbs down. This pantsuit blazer for a business meeting is odd, so odd!
Sorry pero nilamon ng napakadali ni mj yung dalawa…next!!!
Ms. Kenya looks like the Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o!
Ay oo nga!

I’m extremely disappointed in Miss Thailand. She’s all just height (so far).
Still waiting for India, Costa Rica, Colombia and Venezuela.
Ako din mejo disappointed kay thailand so far, like ko din kasi siya. Underwhelming mga photos nya na lumalabas.
Wait ko pa sina india, malaysia, singapore at indonesia
I have to say, every year the Europeans always look so fresh when they arrive. Gorgeous. However, most usually end up flat by the time prelims come around. Then the Latinas turn the competition gears on and leave the rest in the dust. It’s a rare type like Roz Purcell and Melinda Bam who stand out.
The ones who I’m keeping an eye on are Brazil and USA. They exude so much warmth and energy. Would not be surprised to see them up there with Dyosa.
I agree, justgrc. I think maybe because the Europeans are usually so subdued… while the Latinas are very dramatic and “in your face”. It’s sweet to be subtle and subdued but when you’re in a beauty pageant competition with so many other lovely ladies around, you sort of need to be more aggressive and “in your face” to get noticed on stage. Sort of like stage acting versus TV acting.
wow.. oh wow!! mj is so pretty and sexy! she’s so hot!! muy caliente!!
From all the pictures so far… its Mj! Go Philippines!
