I have no world-ly idea why the hosting of Miss World 2019 returned to London from the originally-announced Thailand. Maybe some crucial talks bogged down in the process of making some compromises in the production itself. I’m not sure. The deal fell through somewhere between the announcement and the actual planning, methinks.
Watch the guesting of Julia Morley and reigning titleholder Vanessa Ponce de Leon on Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan.
The four winning pillars of pageantry in 2018:
Catriona Gray – Miss Universe
Vanessa Ponce de León – Miss World
Mariem Claret Velazco – Miss International
Nguyễn Phương Khánh – Miss Earth
Indeed, this is the year split between Asians and Latinas in international beauty competitions. If you consider the rest of the other pageants like Miss Supranational (Puerto Rico), Miss Grand International(Paraguay), Miss Tourism International (Indonesia), Miss Asia Pacific International (Philippines), Miss Eco International (Philippines), The Miss Globe (China), Reina Hispanoamericana (Venezuela), Miss United Continents (México) and more, you’ll see what I mean.
As 2018 comes to a close, let us look forward to an even more exciting 2019 with the opening salvo being the 47th Miss Intercontinental next month.
Happy New Year to all of you, my dear readers!
