Hail to the new Queen!

mwindo1 The blue crown has a new wearer, and she is our very own Megan Young !

At the end of highly-anticipated and hotly-contested finals held inside the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center in Bali, Indonesia, Miss World 2013 has been elected from among 127 contenders. Megan Young of the Philippines makes history as her country’s first Miss World and the Asean region as well.

Coming in as 1st Princess is Marine Lorphelin of France, with 2nd Princess honors going to Carranza Shooter of Ghana . The remaining two ladies who made it to Top 5 are Spain and Brazil. Maroua Kharbouch of Gibraltar was declared People’s Champion and was included in the magic circle as the 6th finalist.

With so many special award winners announced for the pageant’s exciting pre-pageant activities, the top-placers (already revealed online yesterday afternoon) in Beach Fashion, Top Model, Talent, Sports Challenge, Multimedia and the all-important Beauty with a Purpose took their spots centerstage with a well-deserved inclusion in the Top 20. People’s Champion winner Gibraltar had to wait till the Top 5 was announced before locking in her inclusion.

Congratulations to all the winners but most especially to our MEGAN YOUNG! MABUHAY KANG TALAGA! 😀

Long live Megan Young!

In the just-concluded Miss World 2013 Top Model event, our Megan Young was a breathtaking sight to behold in the elegant evening gown designed by Princess Ayu Mirah Suardhana. Now I can say that our girl is special because she was the only one of two who wore the designer-cum-royalty’s creation.

And I have exciting news for you, dear readers.

Megan Young made it to the Top 10 of the Top Model event!!! 😀

Roommates Megan & Michiko for the Miss World 2013 Top Model event.

In tonight’s Top Model event, the Miss World 2013 candidates will be dressed by 48 of Indonesia’s top fashion designers. And by the end of it all, ten or so will be named best of the lot and score points for the pre-pageant competition.

Will roommates Megan Young and Michiko Tanaka both pull it through? We’re all waiting with bated breath. By the way, our bet will have Princess Ayu Mirah Suardhana as her designer, with the Japanese wearing a Hengky Kawilarang. 😉

For the Top Model event of Miss World 2013 happening on Tuesday (the 24th), the delegates were assigned to some of Indonesia’s renowned fashion designers. As such, endless fittings took place alongside the tiring rehearsals.

Our Megan was cool about the whole thing. She is even pleased with the opportunity to wear and model the creation of a local designer. When the fashion show takes place next week, expect her to exude a fiercer aura while still glowing with the beautiful face that has already captured a big number of fans and supporters in Bali, here in the Philippines and around the Miss World-watching globe. 😉

So far, so (better than) good!

All’s good between China and the Philippines, at least in Miss World 2012, with Wen Xia Yu (L) and Queenie Rehman posing in one frame with smiles on their faces.

Queenie (R) with one of her closest chums, Miss World Indonesia Ines Putri Tjiptadi.

In the ongoing Miss World 2012 in Ordos, Miss World Philippines Queenie Rehman is sticking to her game plan with such spirited excitement. As a result, she is slowly getting noticed by everyone as a strong competitor to watch out for. During the talent auditions, she sang ‘Stand by Me’ and made it more special by injecting freestyle beatboxing that roused the audience and led to wild applause and a standing ovation. This thrilled our bet to no end, especially when she was named one of the Top 25 who will perform in the Talent Finals next month.

And it doesn’t stop there. Queenie has already been included in the 25 shortlisted delegates for the Top Model finals (also pegged for early August) where they will be wearing fashion designs made in Inner Mongolia. This should build her momentum even more going into the Beauty Beauty Event.

Next stop will be the Beach Beauty and Sports Events where she can equally excel due to her highly regarded figure plus fondness for physical games and/or contact plays. At the moment, all ladies are busy for the Opening Ceremony that should have already been conducted by now.

In the Multimedia Award, Queenie remains in the running, despite Misses Vietnam and Nepal getting past her ‘likes’ in the Official Facebook Fan Page. So if you haven’t supported her in this part yet, now is the time to do it (there’s a permanent link on the right side). And you can also encourage your friends to do the same.

Miss World 2011 Ivian Sarcos in China.

Starting this weekend, the 120 delegates of Miss World 2012 will have alrrady arrived in Ordos to commence their respective quests to win the crown currently being held by Venezuela’s Ivian Sarcos. The Opening Ceremony will kick off on July 24 (Tuesday). So after checking on my blog, it would be nice if you can make regular visits to the new website of the pageant. There, you can get updates on the goings-on and whereabouts of the ladies. You will also learn that seven (7) hotly-contested challenge events are up for grabs, and these are:
Designer Award
Beach Beauty
Sports and Fitness
Performing Talent
Top Model
Multimedia Award
Beauty with a Purpose Award
Click on each event above to know more. I’m not sure if all seven are fast-track activities, so just stay tuned for more details.

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ordos City


Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ordos City will be the Official Residence of the ladies while in the host city. If you’re scheduled to go to Ordos next month to catch the finals, it will serve you better to stay near the Dongsheng National Fitness Center Stadium than here.

For now, my understanding is that both Facebook and Twitter are banned – if not super strictly regulated – in China. I am still uncertain if the ban will be lifted while Miss World 2012 is ongoing or only when the candidates are in Ordos. We all know that there will be brief stays in Shanghai, Hongkong and Sanya, so let’s see if online sources can still be gathered from each and every activity this year. 😉

And Gwendoline Ruais makes it to the Top Model semifinals of Miss World 2011!

And so Miss Philippines made it to the Miss World 2011 Top Model semifinals. She is one of only 20 candidates chosen for this fast-track. She was pure elegance in her sexy red number from Hollywood-based Fil-Am designer Oliver Tolentino.

Things are really looking up for our girl in London. Hopefully, the string of good news continues from this point on. 😉

Will Gwen make it to the Top Model Shortlist of Miss World 2011?

Following the Beach Beauty Competition of Miss World 2011, the Top Model segment will be conducted next. Keep in mind that the winners of these fast-tracks will move straight to the semifinals on coronation night come November 6.

Will Miss Philippines Gwendoline Ruais be selected to form part of the Top 20 Top Model aspirants’ list? Let’s keep our fingers crossed because our bet is more than qualified to ramp it up and give her more than 120 competitors a tough fight.

Good luck, Gwen! 😉

Gwendoline Ruais: Beach Beauty Standout in Miss World 2011

The Miss World 2011 Beach Beauty competition was conducted over the weekend, with all the 36 semifinalists out-posing each other to the max. One of them is our very own Gwendoline Ruais who was just scorching hot in her pink two-piece swimwear. She was literally a standout. Aside from her towering height, she was head-to-toe styled perfectly well for the fast-track sidebar to the main competition.

Can she come out on top in this one?
