Presenting: the New Miss International crown sponsored by Long Beach Pearl Vietnam and presented today in Ho Chi Minh City.

Congratulations!

LONG BEACH PEARL ANNOUNCES MISS INTERNATIONAL CROWN

The Miss International crown is inspired by the beauty of cherry blossoms that glow in the spring sunshine.

Cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan, symbolizing the strength, spirit, culture and people of Phu Tang. Not only that, cherry blossoms are also symbols of vigor, of humility, wishing for peace and positivity.

With the theme “Cherry Blossoms welcome the spring sunshine”, the Miss International crown is a magnificent reunion of 333 pure white pearls. It’s also a number that has the meaning of luck and survival. The crown’s special highlight is 3 selected pearls measuring up to 15 mm, bringing the beauty of immortality and sublime.

The Miss International crown is also attached to 1,960 white gems – symbolizing the first year the competition was held. By a blend of meticulous fixtures and top-notch craftsmanship, the Long Beach Pearl delivers a special piece dedicated to the Miss International pageant.

After touring Saitama City and other nearby Japanese cities (top photos and left), Miss Philippines Ma Ahtisa Manalo was picked as one of 47 (out of 77) delegates of the #58thMissInternational brought by Tobu Railway for a tour of Nikko (all the images below). They went to Tochigi City and visited Nikko Edo Wonderland and Tobu World Square.

Ahtisa even got to enjoy watching (the prep) and tasting one of her favorite Japanese quick bites – Yakitori.

What’s your take on her wardrobe so far, dear readers?

I envy my Saitama-based friend Stephen Diaz (of Missosology) who resides only two train rides away from where the Miss International 2014 delegates spent the afternoon shopping at Ginza. The photos above and left are exclusives of the pageant site.

Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago accompanied the ladies which included Miss Philippines Bianca Guidotti. And what made the small group of 12 early delegates even more excited about the whole outing is that it’s not an official activity (notice that they still don’t have their country sashes on) so they can shop around without worrying too much about TV cameras following them or checking out only the sponsor shops/department stores.

Tomorrow will be entirely different because there will be more than sixty (60) foreign beauties already accounted for. 😉
