Amist 10,000 live audience and a 600 million tv viewers - Riyo Mori who was Miss Japan wins the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant 2007!
It was a magical and historic night. You could see the glow on the beauty pageant contestant's faces. Their confidence, their hope to win what they've always dreamt of.
But the one to be crowned was 20 year old Riyo Mori - a japanese ballet dancer.
Zuleyka Rivera (last years queen) from Puerto Rico gave her a $250,000 crown studded with diamonds and pearls.
2 unfortunate events happened:
1- Rachel Smith who is Miss Usa - slipped on the runway. She regained her composure quickly - which was marvelous! But the audience didn't like her anyways.
2- Mexicans booed Smith which drained her confidence and am sure self-worth too. The reason behind that was because the US has strict laws against illegal immigrants from Mexico.
But mexicans trying to get back at the them through the cost of a young beauty pageant contestants was a very sad gesture.
All in all it was a very entertaining show. Glad to see the contestants give there all. At the end of the day only one takes home to crown so it makes it all more compeititive and exciting.

Simple Beauty Pageant Makeup Techniques
How much makeup is too much? I've heard that when you're on stage you should wear a lot, but some people say that's wrong. What do you think?
It’s not about wearing “a lot” it’s about wearing stronger colors and using them in different ways. We “see” by focusing on the way light reflects off a surface. Thus you don’t see as well at night, shiny surfaces look bigger, and stage lights make normal “street” makeup disappear.
Stage lighting is intense. It is very bright and hard - with the result that it “washes out” pale colors. To compensate, people who work onstage learn to use strong colors in ways that make their facial expressions stand out under the harsh lighting.
I think that is why there is a difference of opinion on this subject.
When competing in a pageant you want to look pretty and fresh under the harsh lights – for the judges. Judges are generally seated in the front row of the audience. Therefore you want to design your makeup to make you look beautiful to the first few rows and not worry too much about it “carrying” tothe back or you will risk looking over-made-up.
Try choosing stronger shades of the same colors you normally wear. A darker shade of your customary color in a pancake or cream foundation will provide more coverage and stand up to the lighting better. Be careful to blend the edges well to prevent a “line.” Powder your entire face and neck with loose translucent matte powder to avoid a shiny face.
Choose only matte finishes in all your cosmetics for a natural look. Never wear frosted colors onstage. Avoid bright unnatural eye shadow colors like blue or green.
Use dark eyeliner/pencil to define your eyes, soften with a cotton swab and try individual lashes combined with your own rather than heavy artificial eye lashes.
Use cream, off-white, gray or brown to contour (no white.) Don’t wear a vivid color nail polish – it pulls attention away from your face and is distracting when you move your hands.
Two Offbeat Makeup Tips:
Contrary to the urban legend you may have heard – don’t use Vaseline on your teeth, it makes them look yellow. If you truly have a difficult time with a bright natural smile because your mouth becomes too dry, try rubbing just a very small dab between your lip and gums.
If you are worried about your thighs jiggling as you walk the stage in your swimsuit there is a temporary cure - have plenty of hemorrhoid cream on hand. If you rub it on your skin right before you walk out on stage, it will make the skin appear firmer for those few moments when you walk past the judges.
A final thought about makeup: when you appear for your initial interview with the judges you will most likely be seated directly across a table from them. You want your make up to enhance your natural beauty and make you look just that – natural! So leave the stage makeup for the stage.

Cool Pictures of Miss Universe 2007 Contestants
Hey girls!
Am back with some cool pictures of our Miss Universe contestants.
Checkout their fashion pictures here:
Contestants Pose In Their Bikinis.
2 Things I want you to notice:
Am back with some cool pictures of our Miss Universe contestants.
Checkout their fashion pictures here:
Contestants Pose In Their Bikinis.
2 Things I want you to notice:
1- Have a look at the photo of Trinere Lynes from Bahamas & Jelena Maros from Croatia in the above link. Notice their legs are wide apart. She's trying to give that overly sexly thought - but you know what? It'll backfire.
It's slutty to spread your legs so wide apart in a bikini. Heck that's the pose you'll find in the advertisments of porn sites. You'll never see a classy girl EVER doing that.
And the judges want a classy girl. They don't want a pornstar. That's why you'll never see a girl with extra-ordinarly (naturally or artificially) heavy busts winning any of the top 3 beauty pageants.
Instead - the girls that crossed their legs were the clever ones. People like mystery, they want to see what they can't see & are interesed in what's hidden from them. So by crossing the legs and not exposing their most prized possession - those girls are winning big points.
While the others who think their overly sexy pose will be a hit among judges - are dead wrong.
2- Most of the girls gave a good facial expression. But a majority of them did NOT take advantage of expressing their body language in the right way. They just gave shots standing up starring at the camera not knowing what to do with their hands or sitting down trying to look cool.
Some were even playing with a prop - which they shouldn't have - because many others were playing with the SAME prop! They should've noticed this.
It's too late and I've to go bed. But I'd love to teach you what body language means and how to use it to it's full potential. Though I do go indepth about it in my upcoming beauty pageant course. So if you're serious about becoming a queen - then you'll want to get it as soon as it's released.
Talk soon!

2 Hot Beauty Pageant News From Mexico & Philadelphia
Hi everyone!
I just read this sweet article: One lassie's beauty pageant dreams.
It's a narration of a beauty pageant's experiance (by herself). And that too from Philadelphia.
The winner doesn't get loads of cash but instead - along with the coveted tiara, gets a "a bouquet of white roses and an emerald green sash embroidered with the title and a paid round trip to Ireland to represent Philadelphia in the international Mary from Dungloe festival."
A very interesting read - specially since the author did NOT win the pageant! But she describes the experiance being a big thing on it's own. A great mindset I must add.
.........
Now lets checkout how the pageants are doing in Mexico for Miss Universe 2007.
Here's a fresh out-of-the-oven video:
Contestants enjoy a cocktail party in Mexico City
Notice the fake smiles :-)
That's one thing you should remember. The first time people take your pictures whereever you go - is thrilling and nice and exciting. But we won't feel as excited everytime that happens - specially when it'll happen day and night.
But you STILL have to give a geniune smile. From the heart. Not a fake photo-shoot smile.
And being social and friendly is one of the MUST have qualities for a beauty pageant queen.
Lets see who knows all that in the upcoming Miss Universe 2007. :-)
