Miss Singapore "Scandal" - Rachael Kum's Racy Pictures

Rachael Kum, Miss Singapore 2009 and her country's representative to the Miss Universe 2009 pageant to be held in the Bahamas is facing hard time with fans who are not happy on her for winning the crown.

Mostly Singaporean fans, as I have seen on different forums and discussions, are really very vocal about their sentiments on the beauty queen. They say that Rachael should not have won because of her questionable integrity.

Well, this is only a statement I have read from the forums and not my own judgment. I believe that comments from other fans can't fully support the claim that Rachael is not a good role model.

But there are some "racy" pictures of Rachael showing her naughty moments that "might" support the sentiments of the fans. These are actually sent to us and when we checked Rachael Kum's blog, these said pictures are actually posted in her pages.

I leave the judgment to our readers - that's you.

The first picture shows Rachael standing beside a penis mascot and she's making gestures as if she's biting the head.

In the second picture, look at the bottom left corner, Rachael is with another woman in a position suggesting homosexuality.

Lastly, the third picture shows Rachael wearing a costume while a "doll" is in front of her as if she is getting an oral sex.

Is Rachael Kum a lesbian? I don't know that. How about you? What can you say?

Miss Vietnam Vo Hoang Yen is not offended by Ines Ligron's Comment

Wow, the comments made by Ines Ligron, Japan's national director for Miss Universe Organization, in her blog about some of the candidates for the Miss Universe 2009 in Bahamas and was FIRST reported in our blog is now generating "controversy" because of fans around the world who were offended.

In my entry dated 20 May 2009, I relayed what Ines has said about 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!"

But Vietnam's Vo Hoang Yen is not really offended when Ines compared her to a beautiful Miss Tiffany Universe, a pageant for transsexuals.

In an interview with the Yen by Vietnam Net, the beauty queen said that she was not upset by Ligron’s comment because the comment was correct and frank, and not easy to recognize.

“There are some photos of me on the Internet in which I was captured at angles that make me look quite husky. I will learn from them for my next photo shows,” Yen said.

About Ligron’s suggestion of building her own style, Yen said: “I’ll try to develop my image as a supermodel, but not so cold. I’ll smile more and be more cheerful.”

The Performance Art Agency under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism hasn’t received an invitation letter from the Miss Universe 2009 organising board so it hasn’t approved Hoang Yen’s participation. However, Yen is preparing for the event by taking a training course at John Roberts Powers School.

Miss Japan Emiri Miyasaka will Wear a Gucci Gown in the Miss U

Miss Universe 2009 has not even started yet but Miss Japan, Emiri Miyasaki, has already an expensive gown that will surely mesmerize all the pageant enthusiasts in the world like me.

Ines Ligron, the woman who is responsible in turning Japanese girls into modern sophisticated women, has just confirmed that Emiri will be wearing a Gucci gown.

The announcement was made by Ines in her blog. A reader expressed about his excitement to see Emiri's gown in the finals as Miss Japan always has the best gown. She responded by saying, "I already bought it. She will wear Gucci."

One of the most anticipated events in the Miss Universe pageant is the parade of the beauty queens in their colourful evening gowns. Lots of us are glued on our seats watching the ladies how they carry their gowns. Most of us also are busy scrutinizing every details in the dress.

I'm also excited to see the gown.

Ines also added that from now on she will start calling Miss Japan as Emiri and not as Emily.

The reader can explain it better. "Hi Madamme Inés, congratulations on your new winner and she is the best choice. But I prefer you calling her “Emiri” instead of “Emily” because Emily is way to westernized and ordinary, especially when you register her for the Miss Universe pageant. It is better to be Emiri Miyasaka. Although the two names sounds alike, I think Emiri sounds cooler and has the Japanese charm in the name itself. Because the fans love calling the complete names of Miss Japan such as Miyako Myazaki, Kurara Chibana , Riyo Mori etc… Now let’s wait the name Emiri Miyasaka to be called in the top 15 in Miss Universe this August"

"Miss Vietnam Võ Hoàng Yến is like a beautiful Miss Tiffany" - Ines Ligron

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!
