Miss USA 2013 Promises Surprises on the Finals

(Miss Minnesota, Danielle Hooper, in her swimsuit and long gown during the preliminary competition yesterday)

The 62nd Miss USA pageant is obviously making an effort to keep the pageant popular so that people will watch it comes coronation night. Why did I say so? First, it is a common knowledge that nowadays beauty pageants are no longer attracting viewership which could transform big profits. Second, Miss USA is being handled by business tycoon, Donald Trump who everybody knows as a publicity whore.These are the two reasons I can think of when I read somewhere that Miss USA 2013 is "introducing something new that will shake up the whole show".

Hmm, now, did that statement from Paula Shugart, the Miss Universe president who is also in charge of Miss USA, pique your interest?

Miss Japan Emiri Miyasaka's Versace Long Gowns

Emiri Miyasaka, Japan's representative to the Miss Universe 2009, will be wearing VERSACE gowns in the Bahamas during the pageant. But not at the evening gown competition.

Karl earlier reported in this blog entry that Emiri will be wearing a Gucci for the evening gown competition as announced by Ines Ligron, Japan's Miss Universe Organization Director, sometime in May. She made the announcement in her blog.

Emiri will be wearing the Versace gowns only at the preliminary interview, charity auctions, fashion shows and other events. This is what Ines had announced in an another blog entry dated 17 June 2009 under the article VERSACE FITTING FOR THE BAHAMAS article.

Here are pictures of some of the gowns.

In an another development, Ines also gave the public an idea of the national costume Emiri will  be wearing. Below is a picture of the said costume.
