Miss Ukraine Anastasia Chernova

Just like the Philippines, Ukraine is looking at the possibility of placing in the Top 5 of Miss Universe for a third consecutive year. It all started in 2010 (also in Las Vegas) when Anna Poslavskaya finished Third Runner-Up to Ximena Navarrete (with Venus Raj one notch lower at Fourth Runner-Up). Then in Sao Paulo last year, Olesya Stefanko was so close to the crown that she could smell it. After the dust settled, she found herself First Runner-Up to Leila Lopes (with Shamcey Supsup two notches lower at Third Runner-Up).

Back in Vegas again for 2012, Miss Universe Ukraine Anastasia Chernova is on the hunt for a spot among the brightest to keep pace with her two predecessors’ achievements. Will she continue her country’s excellent tradition for two years in a row and reset the record? Or will she falter and return to a normal life in Kharkiv after the pageant culminates on December 19?

Let’s see which way the wheel goes for Anastasia. 😉

Olesya Stefanko: Ukraine’s Got Beauty!

With or without heavy make-up on, Olesya is a true stunner!

Olesya Stefanko, 23, will be Ukraine’s entry to Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paulo. The professional model, who comes from Kolomyia in Ukraine’s Carpathian region, is both a headturner who stands 1.77m (5’9 1/2″) and a brainy student who is currently enrolled in a Law degree in Odessa.

She is succeeding Anna Poslavskaya who landed 3rd Runner-Up in Las Vegas last year. From this stems the challenge to step up and exceed the latter’s achievement. And I feel she is no hard-sell amidst the sea of beauties who will tough it out in Brazil. Her ever-changing looks – from a naive eye candy to a sophisticated femme sĂ©duisant – will undeniably catch the attention of Donald Trump who does not hide his penchant for Russian, Ukrainian and Central European ladies.

Udáči, Olesya! 😉
