Caption this photo featuring the Miss Venezuela 2012 winners plus Miss Bolivar Fanny Ottati stealing a photo op with them.

Let’s have some good clean fun captioning the photo above of the Miss Venezuela 2012 winners. I singled it out because of the scene-stealing (and poise-spoiling) entry of Miss Bolivar Fanny Ottati. I’ll share my lines in the vernacular because it comes out funnier that way.

Here goes:

Miss Bolivar, Fanny Ottati: Bilisan nyo naman ang pagkuha ng litrato! Mahirap mag-squat dito noh?

Miss Distrito Capital, Gabriella Ferrari: Saklolo! Guards! Kunin nyo ang babaeng ito! Sinisira nya ang moment ko!

Miss Sucre, Irene Esser: Hoy! Huwag mong dantayan ang flower bouquet ko! Dinikit mo pa ang kili-kili mo sa bulaklak!

Miss Guarico, Blanca Aljibes: Kapal ng mukha ng babaeng ito! Umuwi ka na sa Bolivar at talunan ka naman!

Miss Yaracuy, Osmariel Villalobos: Keber ko sa inyo! Basta ako, smile na lang ng smile!

Miss Carabobo, Isabela Ramos: Ang saklap ng kinasadlakan ko! Nasa top 5 nga, wala namang title!

I’m not real good at throwing in comedic lines, but I just want to give it a try. 😉

My Final Choices for Miss Venezuela 2012

Four Venezuelan beauties will be crowned tonight as the South American country’s representatives to the Big 4 Pageants (Miss Universe 2012, Miss World 2011, Miss International 2012 and Miss Earth 2012). From the two dozen contenders, I have managed to select twelve ladies who – in my opinion – will fight tooth and nail for the titles. Here they are:

Milagro Manrique (Tachira)

Carla Rodrigues (Lara)

Gabriella Ferrari (Dtto.Capital)

Ma.Gabriela Criollo (Zulia)

Isabela Ramos (Carabobo)

Sara Coello (Vargas)

Andrea Baptista (Portuguesa)

Astrid Lozada (Barinas)

Irene Esser (Sucre)

Gabriela Quinones (Nueva Esparta)

Ivany Guzman (Delta Amacuro)

Blanca Alijibes (Guarico)

Predictions-wise, let’s go to the more difficult part of assigning titles to four of the dozen candidates above…

Two of My Top 4 Picks: Ma. Gabriela Criollo (Zulia) for Miss Venezuela International (L) and Milagro Manrique (Tachira) for Miss Venezuela World. Both refreshing Latinas!

For Miss Venezuela-Universe, I can’t think of any other lady for this title but Miss Sucre Irene Sofia Esser. She has the drop-dead gorgeous look for Donald Trump’s pageant that will erase the memories of former Miranda bets Marelisa Gibson and Vanessa Goncalvez. And once she flashes her 100-kilowatt smile, she can gloriously light up the stage and never let go of the well-deserved attention. If she comes out on top, I can safely state that Venezuela can look forward to a far more memorable participation in Miss Universe 2012.

Miss Sucre, Irene Sofia Esser is my choice for Miss Venezuela-Universe. A cracker of a beauty!

Unlike the first title, the Miss Venezuela-World winner can be among a few strong hopefuls but I will have to select Miss Tachira Milagro Manrique. This lady is just oozing with confidence and personal style. Her face is classic Venezuelan brunette, but not in an altogether cookie cutter way. She impresses an aura that captivates without overdoing it.

Miss Venezuela-International, on the other hand, could be a solid lock for Miss Zulia, Ma. Gabriela Criollo. Her face reminds me of Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman in most angles, and although some may prefer another delegate for this title, I think she is built for Miss International 2012 because she will simply mesmerize the Chinese hosts and locals where next year’s edition will also be held. She is one lady with a sweet and stunning presence that spells youthful vivacity.

My choice for Miss Venezuela-Earth is Distrito Capital's Gabriella Ferrari.

And for Miss Venezuela-Earth, I am torn between two ladies at this point: Gabriella Ferrari of Dtto. Capital and Portuguesa’s Andrea Baptista – both with looks and qualities distinct from each other. Either one of them could do well in the environment-friendly pageant’s edition next year. But if I had to pick just one, I would think Gabriella has an edge over Andrea in this regard. The former’s relaxed and spontaneous disposition will be better appreciated in Miss Earth 2012 than the more regal but stilted impact of the other.

In summary, my fearless forecast for the winners of Miss Venezuela 2012 are:
Miss Venezuela Universe – Irene Sofia Esser (Sucre)
Miss Venezuela World – Milagro Manrique (Tachira)
Miss Venezuela International – Ma. Gabriella Criollo (Zulia)
Miss Venezuela Earth – Gabriella Ferrari (Distrito Capital)
1st Runner-Up – Andrea Baptista (Portuguesa)
2nd Runner-Up – Isabela Ramos (Carabobo)

This is tough. But then again, there’s no challenge if I don’t push myself far.

Let’s see what the actuals will bear. By the way, if you want to watch the livestream of the pageant, click HERE. 😉

Miss Venezuela 2011-12: These Heavenly Bodies!

Diana Wood (Amazonas)

Catiuska Zapata (Anzoategui)

Jesserly Gutierrez (Apure)

Alexandra Hernandez (Aragua)

Astrid Lozada (Barinas)

Fanny Ottati (Bolivar)

Isabela Ramos (Carabobo)

Angela Ramirez (Cojedes)

Ivany Guzman (Delta Amacuro)

Gabriella Ferrari (Dtto.Capital)

Haydee Castillo (Falcon)

Blanca Aljibes (Guarico)

Carla Rodrigues (Lara)

Yasmeira Molina (Merida)

Isabel Zamora (Miranda)

Rossana Medina (Monagas)

Gabriela Quinones (N. Esparta)

Andrea Baptista (Portuguesa)

Irene Esser (Sucre)

Milagro Manrique (Tachira)

Ma.delosAngeles Vera (Trujillo)

Sara Coello (Vargas)

Osmariel Villalobos (Yaracuy)

Ma. Gabriella Criollo (Zulia)

Tagging these ladies as just sexy would be an understatement. Their individual bodies are way too heavenly, near close to perfection if you will (unless you have an issue with ladies whose heads are not directly proportionate to their body built.) I just love how 90% of them have cuts in the right places and know how to maximize the same for shapeliness’ sake.

So from among these two dozen Miss Venezuela 2011-12 Official Candidates, I took the liberty of short-listing my personal five with the best figures (with face as secondary consideration):
Miss Barinas, Astrid Lozada
Miss Distrito Capital, Gabriella Ferrari
Miss Tachira, Milagro Manrique
Miss Monagas, Rossana Medina
and
Miss Carabobo, Isabela Ramos

Now some of you might quip that lucky shots or right angles come in the way of distinguishing the ones with the great curves. But then again, if you combine these with gorgeous faces and vibrant aura, the real stand-outs can be spotted right away.

Osmel Sousa must be incessantly nodding his head in approval of what he’s seeing so far. After 2010’s debacle with Marelisa Gibson and 2011’s so-so performance from Vanessa Goncalves, he is tightening his grip even more to make sure that the right ladies win come October 15.

Your turn, my dear readers. Who catches your fancy among these curvily-suited Venezuelans? 😉

Miss Venezuela 2011 Candidates: Who do you like so far?

Osmariel Villalobos (Yaracuy)

Maria Gabriela Criollo (Zulia)

Venezuelan beauties are at it again!

One fact that remains indisputable with the annual Miss Venezuela Pageant is the high quality of delegates Osmel Sousa and his team present year after year. Slim pickings are two words that will never be part of their vocabulary. 2011 has another batch of really outstanding contenders. It is easy to remove the few who do not come on as strong bets and hard to determine the winners from among the great majority of the rest.

Four of these lovelies will become the country’s representatives to Miss World 2011, Miss Universe 2012, Miss International 2012 and Miss Earth 2012. And thus far, I am starting to like the following:

Miss Tachira, Milagro Manrique
Miss Distrito Capital, Gabriella Ferrari
Miss Lara, Carla Rodrigues
Miss Zulia, Maria Gabriela Criollo
Miss Barinas, Astrid Lozada
Miss Cojedes, Angela Ramirez
Miss Portuguesa, Andrea Baptista

But these seven are not my final picks yet. There is still more than a handful of deserving ones that I need to review further. Suffice it to say, this will be a better year than the last. Most definitely. 😉

By the way, the finals of Miss Venezuela 2011 will be on October 15, 2011.
