Let's see... It's 8:15pm left coast time. Should I watch or not? Wonder who the winner will be?

Thanks Chacha!:a1310:

And congrats to the winner, Miss :mexico:
 
I've never understood why it is called Miss Universe. The only women in the contest are from Earth...so shouldn't it be Miss Earth? The rest of the universe is never given a chance to represent itself during this contest, so it should not be called Miss Universe.

Kind of like the World Series....it isn't really the WORLD series, just the United States and two teams from Canada. Japan has baseball teams, but they don't compete in the World Series. I'm sure there are baseball teams in other countries that never get to compete in the World Series.

Congrats to Miss Earth from Mexico!

The Little League World Series is on ESPN now. It has 8 teams from the United States, and 8 from International. Much better that what the MLB calls a "World Series"

My wife is Filipina so naturally we were rooting for Venus Raj, Miss Philippines. Then she totally FUBAR'ed her answer to judge William Baldwin's question and it wasn't that hard. In spite of the fact that she seemed to have a good command of English. Sorry Venus, have a nice flight home.

...that was the very same reaction I had...
Her question was NOT that very challenging like the others...
...but congratulations anyway!

Obio, I would tell you it is because of mankind's ethnocentric view of the universe. But, I know that dogs don't understand such words. ;)

Congratulations to Miss .... errr....That girl who won the beauty contest,
 
For all you folks crying because there aren't any pictures, I found a picture to post just for you.

What does a fat man with two fish have to do with the Miss Universe contest...nothing! But you have to agree that those are two nice looking crappie and that the fella sure does fill out those bib overalls in all the right places.

I'll tell you precisely why. An Englishman called Eric Morley obtained the exclusive rights to the title 'Miss World' and that particular flesh parade is held in the UK (Don't know if it still is - if so, very low profile, such events are very non-PC these days.)

The Americans could not stomach this idea, so invented 'Miss Universe' to be able to have their own meatfest.

After all, it's no more ridiculous than calling the American Baseball Championship the 'World Series'. Who else in the world plays the game ??? (OK, maybe the Japanese, but I never see any of their teams competing?)
 
The title of this pagent, should alien life be discovered, would automatically include any future female life forms ... I can't wait for that to happen!
 
Ireland had their own "flesh parade" over the last couple of days....the Rose of Tralee. Dire...Dire TV spectacle and embarrassingly cringe worthy.

Sings, "WE are the world" ;)

What was that word I used earlier...ethnocentric.

:ernae:
 
Here's a couple of recent Miss Worlds - I think I probably would prefer these to one of you-know-who's 'ladies'

From Gibraltar and Russia, by the way.
 
I couldn't help myself...picture out of our local newspaper. Jesinta Campbell is a local gal in these parts.
 
Those poor, poor girls - they look so hungry! I may get interested in those shows when women with curves start competing and winning. If Marilyn Monroe was alive today, Hollywood would reject her for being fat! Think about that one for a minute...
 
Miss Robust World ! I like it.

Re Hollywood, Kate Winslet managed to buck the trend, no skeleton she.

But at the end of the day, there's the beauty parade competitors, and there's the real world.

And there's Panther's women......
 
Yep, many of the greatest leading ladies of the 40s, 50s and early 60s would be washouts in today's Hollyweird. Marilyn Manroe, 5 foot 2, size 16. Jane Russel, 5 foot 3, size 18. Betty Grable...don't have her stats, but by today's standards she was a porker. I prefer women with curves, with some meat on their bones. Most of the "super models" and leading actresses are just too thin to look like they are healthy. But, most women in Hollyweird are following the trend to be thin, even if it makes them look like they are dying..and is some cases...it makes them die. Helen Hunt, looked great in Twister and Pay It Forward. Just saw her in a movie last night on Netflix...And Then She Found Me....and Helen looked like she had scurvy, malaria and a life threatening case of diarhea...she was far too thin. Janine Garafalo used to be a hottie, back when she did The Match Maker, The Truth About Cats and Dogs. She bucked the system for a long time in relation to her weight. Then she jumped on board, lost all her curves, died her hair blonde and now looks more like the Crypt Keeper. Cameran Diez looked great in The Mask...she had hips and thighs....but in The Holiday she was a collection of twigs. Angelina Jolie....has always been too thin to make my Hotometer move.

If you want to know what a woman should look like in my book...think back to the Playtex bra ads, the ones with the redhead...the one that talked about muffin tops, and how gravity was no longer her enemy, but brownies were. That is what a woman is supposed to look like. CURVES!
