As 2nd Runner-Up of Miss Intercontinental 2014

With Miss Intercontinental 2015 in full swing, let us do a throwback on our representative last year who came close to winning the crown, also in Magdeburg, Germany. Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 and Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner-Up Kris Tiffany Janson was brimming with confidence when she departed for the host country. And all pageant fans and followers were optimistic of her chances to nail our first victory in the said competition. Of course, somewhere along the way, there were persistent rumors of “things” happening in the background. Such talks were initially dismissed up until that fateful finals night when two (2) candidates from Asia-Oceania were called to the magic circle instead of just one. And the rest is debatable pageant history.

Everything’s water under the bridge by now. With Christi Lynn McGarry bannering our country at the moment, our hopes are beginning to grow once more. But let’s give this momentary spotlight to Kris as I encourage you to watch the video below showing her journey from Cebu to Manila to Magdeburg. 🙂

Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 and Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner-Up Kris Tiffany Janson is enjoying a grand vacation in Egypt right now, as part of her placement prize in Magdeburg, Germany. Fresh from her European sojourn, our Queen went home just for a quick change (and appearing during the Presscon for Parul and Ann) then packed her bags again. She is now enjoying the hospitality of her hosts and making sure that she will see the best parts of Egypt during this trip.

Drop by the Pyramids and ride on a camel, Krissie! 😉

One of Lenka's latest for Leo Almodal

When Czech Beauty Queen, TV Presenter and International Model Lenka Josefiova stayed in the country for a working vacation, she never thought that it would be extended (due to additional projects) and with more stints for personal and pageant judging appearances. I offered her to write a summary of how her fruitful stay has been and the following blocked quoted words were shared with your blogger before she departed from the Philippines.

image

Lenka Josefiova really made the most out of her extended one month stay in Philippines. Her schedule here was really busy. She became the Face of Leo Almodal new Bridal Haute Couture campaign. In the campaign, she really looks like as a Princess in a fairy tale, and this is exactly how the popular designer wants all the brides to feel.

The collaboration with Leo Almodal successfully continued with Lenka wearing one his designs during fashion show for well known shoe designer Nereku. She also closed the Bridal show in SM Aura with the wedding gown & crown from Leo Almodal new collection.

Since Lenka loves pageants too (as we all in the Philippines do) after being a judge in Miss Bikini Philippines 2015, she also went to see Miss Earth Philippines 2015 final to support her friend Diana Mackey who was her roommate during Supermodel International 2013 in Thailand, where Lenka became one of the TOP 5 winners.

In Miss Philippines Earth 2015, she also became friends with one of the former winners: Miss Philippines Earth 2013 & current Miss Multiverse Philippines 2015 Angelee Reyes, with whom she worked with during the Nereku show. She sees Angelee as one of the most down to earth Beauty Queens she ever met & she really values their friendship.

Photos from Lenka's memorable stay in the Philippines

After her succesful judging stint in Miss Bikini Philippines 2015, Lenka was invited as one of the judges for Miss Tabuk City Philippines 2015 in Kalinga province. She was invited by her friend from Miss Tourism International 2014 in Malaysia – Miss Tourism Metropolitan 2014 Glennifer Perido.

Lenka told me that she loved very much her 3 day-stay in this beautiful city & she really appreciates all the love she received from all the lovely people in Tabuk City.

During her judging at the pageant, Lenka was also wearing one of the Leo Almodal gorgeous evening gowns & crown. The city welcomed her with the posters scattered all over the city.

During her trip Lenka also met with the Vice Mayor of Manila – Isko Moreno & Miss Kalinga 2014 Angelica Balunggay. In Manila, she managed to have lots of photo shoots, not only for new Leo Almodal Bridal, jewellery & crowns campaign, but also for several covers & editorials in different European magazines.. One editorial photoshoot took her to beautiful Daranak Falls. This place she sees as really magical & amazing location for the shoot.

Lenka still found time for some sightseeing around Manila. She visited places such as Fort Santiago, Rizal Park, Coconut Palace & she even tried riding a Calesa. She was very often in Slimmers World enjoying the massages & body treatments that she received from Slimmers World International. And she also had the chance to enjoy a few days in Azure Urban Resort Residences in Manila as her welcoming gift from the Philippines by Century Properties. She loved the beach with sand created there as a part of this project & beautiful pool with the waves. She also had several pageant trainings by one of the most successful pageant trainers in the Philippines – KF. During the sessions, she became friends with the current Mutya Ng Pilipinas contestant Janela Joy Cuaton, who was one of the hot favorites for the crown & Izyl Rochepatricia Logumbay-Nazareno.

Because of Izyl, Lenka changed her flight again to be there to support her at The Little Miss Earth Angels 2015 final, where the girl became 2nd runner-up.

Which pageant was Lenka training for? I assume that we will get to know soon. In the meantime, she will soon be doing more modeling projects, TV presenting work in Bali, Egypt, Czech republic, Germany etc. & also judging in some beauty pageants around the world. But as she said, the Philippines left a big impression on her and remains as one of her most favorite countries that she has ever visited ( She travelled to over 42 countries..). Despite her busy schedule in the upcoming months, she is planning to return to the Philippines as soon as she can…

Kris Tiffany Janson: How does it feel to have your reign end in less than three weeks?

Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson in her B/W photo for Miss Intercontinental

“I’m very excited. I have been through so many things the past year for my reign and even during Binibini season. I was able to check so many items off my bucketlist. Best part was being able to go to Germany. I can’t wait for the new queen to experience what I have experienced.”

In my honest opinion, Bb. Pilipinas-Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson was only one of two Queens (the other person being Yvethe Santiago) last year I was very, very sure of as winning one of the crowns many days before the actual finals. In fact, she remained a staple in my list all throughout the pre-pageant. Hence, it was just a matter of waiting for the announcement as to which title will be given to her.

Unlike Mariane (Bianca Guidotti to you) whom I have known months before she decided to take the Bb. Pilipinas plunge, I only got to meet the real ‘Kris Janson’ during those days in Bohol when we got to judge the Mutya ng Panglao 2014 in the same panel along with Miss Philippines-Earth 2014-turned-Miss Earth 2014 Jamie Herrell and Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia Pacific International 2014 Eva Patalinjug.

Here was a lovely and level-headed beauty queen who, when not wearing her crown and sash, is as normal as the girl-next-door. She is like a young teenager who enjoys walking/basking on the beach and talking about the most trivial things. The only difference is that she has such a mutual admiration thing with the sun that no amount of sunblock is needed to keep her from getting burned. From that point, I knew that she truly deserved her Bb. Pilipinas win.

“I enjoyed the whole ride, tito norms. It’s a blessing.”

Up to now, I remain firm in stating that the Miss Intercontinental 2014 should have been her. It was her crown to lose, in fact. But then again, certain unseen forces got in the way. But I will stop at that. All water under the bridge by now.

I am just extremely happy that I got to know this beautiful Cebuana as more than just an acquaintance. Our bonding in the beaches of Panglao, additionally spiced up by Facebook chats from time to time, and even during our brief talk during the Press Presentation of Bb. Pilipinas 2015 serve to make me feel proud to have known a girl as nice and as grounded as she is. 🙂

Sunday Specials: Is Thailand on its way to becoming Country of the Year in pageantry?

Is Thailand having its best year ever in international pageantry? Are they going to duplicate what the Philippines achieved last year? Has the time finally come to reap the harvest coming from previous overseas participations that went unnoticed? Will the Land of Smiles continue to shine bright in the true big league of competitions, that is Miss World and Miss Universe? Or is this a string of coincidences that could be dismissed as just good luck in action?

A 2nd Runner-up in Miss International 2014 for Punika Kulsuntornroot, a Top 10 spot in Miss Grand International 2014, a Top 16 placement in Miss Earth 2014, a 1st Runner-up honor in Miss Supranational 2014 and finally, the Miss Intercontinental 2014 crown. Will the streak continue in London and Doral Miami? Will the country finally achieve the Country of the Year status in pageantry? And save for Punika, what could be the role of Mr. Nawatt Itsaragrisil in this series of ‘fortunate’ events happening in succession?

So many questions that could only yield a plethora of answers and interpretations both good and otherwise. What’s your stand, dear readers? 😉

Patraporn Wang of Thailand was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2014 with Jeslie Margal of Cuba and Kris Tiffany Janson of the Philippines being named 1st and 2nd Runners-up, respectively.

In a pageant finals that offered more than its share of surprises, the bet from the Land of Smiles clinched its first Miss Intercontinental crown. And for the first time as well, two Asian delegates entered the Top 3 when both Patraporn and Kris Tiffany made it to the Top 6 (even if the latter was the only one with the sash for Asia & Oceania) due to a “tie”.

Many thought that the final results, which raised the eyebrows of many, would go Miss Philippines’ way after she nailed the Q&A. But clearly, the judges favored the Thai bet and Kris had to settle with 3rd place.

In addition, Miss Philippines Kris Tiffany Janson received the Most Photogenic Award, Miss Canada got Congeniality.

Congratulations to all the winners, most especially Kris who will come home with the 2nd Runner-up honors to the country later this week. Nawatt Itsaragrisil, who owns Miss Grand Thailand and was able to watch the live finals in the audience, must be very happy that his entry won. 😉

P.S. Bring on the reactions now, dear readers!
