Just hours ago, I made a blog entry about Ines Ligron's honest opinion on Miss India Universe Ekta Chaudhary. She called the beauty queen as someone "who can't speak and a little immature" based on a video the National Director of Japan had watched on Youtube.
Ines is the most interesting and most vocal among all the pageant directors in the world. She is very transparent but very sincere and sweet. She is actually my most favourite. If there was a Miss Universe contest for all the national directors, this Frenchwoman could have been definitely the clear runaway winner.
She's also a very good source of beauty pageant news and gossips. Anything that comes out from her mouth makes headlines. That's the reason why I love her aside from being an excellent pageant coach who has high taste for fashion.
I continue updating you on Ines' thoughts on any beauty queens or beauty pageants for that matter. Thus, let's continue. She is not actually frugal in her thoughts about Misses Vietnam, Colombia, Turkey and Venezuela. Let's hear it from her.
On Miss Vietnam - Võ Hoàng Yến is indeed special, but she need to seriously start to look more sophisticated. I saw many pictures of her and she looks like a beautiful Miss Tiffany to me sometimes. She is a beautiful girl but she needs urgent styling. I wish her the best because I want Asian girls to do great. Methinks. Meilleurs voeux le Vietnam!
On Miss Colombia - Michelle Rouillard is special, a pretty face with an angel-aura and a killer body!
Ines agreed on a fan who commented that Miss Colombia's background as a Colombo-French makes her unique. She has a strong personality and amazing look. She is herself and doesn't look like anyone.
On Miss Turkey - According to Ines, Ebru Sam did not include Miss Turkey because to her, she is just a little girl, not a woman yet. But she added that of course she can be wrong.
On Miss Ukraine - Kristina Koz-Gotlib is gorgeous but her hair is too 70’s.
On Miss Venezuela - Estefania Fernandez has such a pretty face when she wears no make-up. She likes her very much. Venezuela has a killer body again!

Miss World final moved from Ukraine over Georgia conflict

The 120 contestants were due to compete at the Ukraina National Palace on October 4.
But the event has been called off and a new host country is being sought, the Daily Telegraph has learned.
In a statement, the organisers said: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, it was with deep regret that the decision was taken to postpone the Miss World 2008 Final. This decision was taken in the interest of contestants and the Miss World Organisation."
A new venue and date will be announced next week, the statement added. Nha Trang in Vietnam is being considered as a last-minute alternative.
A spokesman refused to discuss the reasons for the cancellation, but staff working on the show were told that the situation in Russia was behind the decision. There are fears in the Ukraine that Russia will shift its attention to the Ukraine, another US ally in the former Soviet Union.
Julia Morley, president of the Miss World Organisation, was unavailable for comment. She is attending the Beijing Olympics with Zhang Zilin, current holder of the crown and a former Miss China.
This is not the first time the organisers have been forced to abandon a venue.
In 2002, plans to hold the beauty pageant in Nigeria led to riots which left 200 people dead. The violence was sparked when a local journalist wrote an article claiming the Islamic prophet Mohammad would have approved of the contest and even married one of the contestants. The ensuing clashes between Muslims and Christians rocked the country and forced the contestants to flee the country. Several competitors also boycotted the contest in protest at Nigeria's decision to condemn a woman to death by stoning for committing adultery. The venue was switched to London at the last minute.
