As most of you know by now, the search for Miss Venezuela is being run by three of its former big-league Queens from three separate decades – Miss Universe 2013 Gabriela Isler, Miss World 1995 Jacqueline Aguilera and Miss International 1985 Nina Sicilia. And this troika is really deep in preparations for the next national search.

Here is an update of Gabby on the progress in Spanish. The English translation will follow after.

Buenas tardes, buenas tardes!✨ Reaparezco por aquí después de varios días y quiero contarles el por qué de mi ausencia: el proyecto de @missvenezuela ha requerido de mucho tiempo, y me ha tocado ponerlo de primero en la lista de prioridades… ✅
.
Aún estando en la distancia, son múltiples las cosas que estamos resolviendo desde el #ComitéEjecutivo y estamos dedicadas a ello. 🙌🏼 Con mucho esfuerzo y compromiso hemos asumido este reto y estamos seguras de que todos los resultados que alcanzaremos serán satisfactorios. 🙏🏼
.
Ayer lanzamos el proceso de postulaciones a través de missvenezuela.com y me emociona saber que cualquier joven de Venezuela, que cumpla con los requisitos mínimos para participar, puede registrarse libremente y manifestar su decisión de formar parte de este sueño, sin ningún tipo de intermediarios. 👑
.
Juntas, @ninasicilia @jacquelineaguilera y yo, estaremos revisando los perfiles y haciendo la primera preselección.👀
.
Más adelante anunciaremos las próximas fases y les seguiremos contando mucho más de lo que estamos haciendo. 👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍🔧👩🏻‍💼
.
Por ahora, los invito a mantenerse atentos de las redes oficiales de @missvenezuela para todos los detalles. ❣️ Si tienen algún familiar o amiga que pueda reunir las cualidades de una reina, y que se caracterice por actuar apegada a sus valores, menciónenla aquí en los comentarios para que se anime a postularse. 👸🏻❤️
. ¡Cariños para todos!

Throwback Thursday: When Molly was Queen

   Since Miss Universe 2015 will officially start in Las Vegas next week, allow me to post about one of my favorite Miss Universe winners of all time, and the most recent on my list.

Gabriela Isler, or Molly if you will, is Venezuela’s 7th big winner of our favorite beauty pageant. She also happens to have one of the more meaningful reigns to date. Her popularity remains positively high, as she has also started a number of significant charity causes that stretched from New York City to Coron, Palawan. To top it all, she is a nice person all around, especially after her visit to our shores during Bb. Pilipinas 2014.

Watch a video of her farewell walk during Miss Universe 2014 in Doral, Florida now.

Sunday Senti Specials: Ara Arida before leaving for Miss Universe 2013

I had to find a good reason to blog Ara's photos in Vegas where she is now. This SSS post should do it.

Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella Arida is in Las Vegas right now, reason for the picture above in front of the city’s iconic sign. So I can’t let photos from her current US trip pass just like that, including the one on the left where she is inside a giant platform heel.

Anyways, below is a senti video of her being interviewed by Karen Davila on ANC’s Headstart. If memory serves me right, this was her last local TV guesting right before being whisked to the airport to board her Philippine Airlines flight (with one stopover ) to the host city of Miss Universe 2013, Moscow. And this is also the same clip that triggered a small controversy regarding her English communication skills that somehow implicated the Latinas in theirs and allegedly got the ire of then Miss Brazil Jakelyne Oliveira on Twitter. Of course, we know by now that the latter’s supposed negative pronouncements against Ara were all fabricated via an account that didn’t belong to her.

Let’s reminisce now. 🙂

Sunday Senti Specials: Thank You for a Wonderful (Extended) Reign, Gabriela!

Gabriela Isler of Venezuela - one of the best Miss Universe winners ever!

image

Gabriela is beautiful, warm, glamorous and well-spoken - an almost perfect Miss Universe!

Muchas gracias, Gabriela!

Hers is an active reign that extended far beyond everyone’s expectations. And Gabriela Isler made sure that she lived up to every minute of her commitment as Miss Universe 2013 with the beauty and grace of a Queen, the fluidity of a spokesperson and the constant warmth of a role model for all aspiring crown-wearers.

When Gabriela topped the competition in Moscow last November, 2013, she was ushered in to a world that she could only dream of. And she embraced the responsibility with love and passion. It’s no joke to wear the Miss Universe crown. Beyond the glamour, glitz and pride, there is the heightened level of involvement in worldwide charity causes that has really made the MUO (Miss Universe Organization) step up in its image of going deeper than skin-deep. And this Venezuelan is the near-perfect choice for the position. She didn’t only look the job. She assumed the whole thing with open arms and traveled around different countries to continue with the evolution of the title.

And I couldn’t be prouder of Gabriela in particular after her visit to the Philippines last year and the unstinting support to the Cordaid Fund that has helped a large number of Filipinos who were displaced by ST Yolanda. Up to now, she is still pitching for the same.

Now is the time to watch Gabriela’s farewell video as Miss Universe 2013 before taking a bow. The reign may be coming to an end, but her efforts will long be remembered even if a new successor takes her place 24 hours from now. 🙂

By now, Miss Universe 2013 3rd Runner-up Ariella ‘Ara’ Arida is all set to fly from Los Angeles to Miami where she will fulfill the contracted job of being the online backstage host of the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant’s “On The Scene“.

Ara, accompanied by Jonas Gaffud, decided to spend a couple of days in Los Angeles first (perhaps to get her gown or dresses for the pageant) before finally moving on to the host city where she is scheduled to meet up with Donald Trump and Paula Shugart, as well as the MUO team who will guide her on what to do for the exciting gig.

Good luck, Ara! Looking forward to your first episode online! 😉

Make your own noise and shout "Happy New Year!"

“Manigong Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!” (or Prosperous New Year To Everyone!)

I want to start New Year 2015 with images of Miss Earth 2014 Jamie Herrell in the middle of early noise-making with the charity beneficiaries of Miss Earth Foundation.

So back to our favorite topic. Miss Universe, that is.

Now I’m not sure how many of you can speak or understand Spanish. But in the video below taken during her guesting on “Un Nuevo Dia“, Miss Universe 2013 Gabriela Isler gives out details on the upcoming 63rd Miss Universe to be held in Doral Miami come January 25. Watch and tell me just how much of the infos you were able to comprehend. 😉

Okay, so enough with the Spanish overload for now. You know about my love for food. So for the first day of 2015, let me share a 22-minute video of popular Israeli actor Ishai Golan when he featured Manila in his NatGeo People show “Street Food Around The World”. The guy is not a chef, but his wide-eyed interest in tasting different dishes from every country he visits is quite amusing. Enjoy the episode.

Happy New Year to one and all! Enjoy the remaining days of the long holiday break! 😀

As part of the Adopt-A-Family campaign and in time for the Holidays, Miss Universe 2013 Gabriela Isler was able to spend time with kids of families in the Bronx to surprise them with Christmas gifts and spread cheer among the young ones.

The ever gracious Gabriela continues to bring warmth wherever she goes. And it just goes to show how effective and cause-oriented our 2013 winners for both Miss Universe and Miss World are. 🙂
