I bunked in with Miss Switzerland. Miss Turkey and Miss Germany were our immediate neighbours and upon realizing that, we yanked and yanked and boogied in our rooms till dawn. Some hotel guests complained about us apparently they were not amused by our rowdy behaviour.

During the pageant final night, it was a total chaos. Backstage, the contestants were trying on endless evening gowns, swimwear and national costumes all at once. Black, white, red or blue?. Miss Russia burnt her forehead with her hair-thongs. After few minutes of soothing cream and heavy layers of make up on, she looked great.

The German audiences were very sporting, spontaneous and very supportive to every candidate. They went screaming "go Singapore, go!" and also to everyone else. The winner that night was Miss France while Miss Hungary went on to win 1st runner up and me in the 3rd spot.

Miss Singapore was also in the same place of third at last year's event. It should be noted that I am the only Asian in the top 5 round. The best part was celebrating birthday together with Miss Israel and several other contestants.

Full result:
Miss France-Winner
Miss Hungary-1st runner up
Miss Singapore-2nd runners up
Miss Germany-3rd runners up
Miss Ghana-4th runners up

It still puzzles me to the max on why this outfit was chosen as the best national costume. The judges surely had their own reasons.

Miss Teen Malaysia?...I Never Heard About It In This Year of 2000 Era...

Teen quest promoter says no consent yet from sexy, saucy Sophie

THASHA JAYAMANOGARAN

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 11:38:00

PETALING JAYA: Sexed-up, tattooed and body-pierced 14-year-old Sophie Watson from England has laid bare the ruse of a local teen quest promoter headlining her in an attempted sexualisation of teenage girls here.

In a Facebook chat last night, Sophie - whose rise to "stardom" revolves around a girl her age having sex, drinking alcohol and a body full of tattoos, piercings and permanent make-up - denied any connection with a local events firm promoting the online Miss Teen Malaysia beauty pageant.

She said she had no idea that the firm, TeensInAsia.com, was using her as a "role model" to lure girls below age 18 to enter the contest.

"I have no idea .... no connection at all (with anybody in Malaysia)," she said in response to yesterday's Being Frank column that exposed TeensInAsia.com of using her riotous image luring young Malaysian girls to join the teen quest.

In an immediate response, the local partner of TeensInAsia.com, Alan Chow, told The Malay Mail this  morning they had been planning to contact Sophie to get her consent.

Asked if he viewed his events firm's scheme was tantamount to sexualisation of innocent girls, Chow said: "I have pulled out of the partnership (with Australian Khaled Aban) .... I made a mistake and am very sorry."

On whether Khaled would go ahead with the pageant, Chow said: "What do you think after your newspaper carried the article yesterday?"

Pressed further, Chow said Khaled could not be contacted since yesterday and that potential sponsors - whom he declined to name - had all pulled out after the story broke.

The Malay Mail reported yesterday that the unregistered events firm, headed by Australian Khaled, was planning the pageant using Sophie, who holds 22 teen beauty pageant titles, as the showpiece lure.

Young girls are told to streak ahead of their friends and live their dreams in the world of acting and modelling.

Khaled and his pals have taken to Facebook to create a buzz about the quest and his website originating from the UK shows photos of 30 Asian teenagers, including supposedly Malaysians, with 12 of the girls pictured said to be under the age of 16.

The report launched a debate about sexualisation of young girls with readers urging the authorities to take action against the events firm.

Sophie, when asked if she viewed the move as an attempt to sexualise teenage girls here, said: "I'm not doing interviews for newspapers anymore."

She said she would alert her manager to get the matter sorted out.

Several readers noted that Sophie was a tragic consequence of bad parenting and agreed with The Malay Mail that such a pageant would erode good, respectable values and diminish well meant religious belief.

Criticisms were also heaped on Sophie and her 39-year-old mother who gave the little girl her blessings to sleep with four boys in six months in their house.

The mother was also ridiculed for allowing Sophie to have piercings in her ear, nose and belly button,  flowers inscribed on her tummy, her name written on her wrist and inked-on eyeliner, lip liner, a fake beauty mark and her eyebrows tattooed with makeup.

Miss Earth 2010 Best In Swimsuits Winners On Thanh Nien Front Cover.

If India has Femina magazine, Vietnam has its own in Thanh Nien. I have been an ardent follower of this magazine since they did a very good coverage on Miss Universe pageant way back in 2008. This magazine also has been  publishing many beauty pageant news and photos local and international since long time ago.

There is a street in HCM near the Equatorial Hotel where there are two small shops selling old books and magazines and Thanh Nien will be the first publication I scour thoroughly.
