Miss France Chloe Mortaud Arrives First in Bahamas

The first delegate to arrive in Bahamas is Miss France Chloe Mortaud.

They say that "the earliest bird catches the worm first". Will this saying be vindicated once again with her winning the next Miss Universe crown?

Chloe arrived Thursday night at 10 pm in Bahamas. She was happily received by the host beauty queen, Kiara Sherman, and officials from the Ministry of Tourism, protocol officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a contingent of police officers.

She took the home number of Miss Bahamas who isn’t scheduled to check into the hotel until early next week. The first thing she said was how excited she is to be in the Bahamas because she always wanted to come here. Chloé was very impressed with the warm welcome she received, remarking that the people are so friendly. After a brief stay in the Lynden Pindling International Airport’s VIP lounge, she was whisked off to the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in a limousine, led by police outriders.

Two more contestants are scheduled to arrive today – Miss Albania and Miss Kosovo. They will be flying in this afternoon with Miss Universe fashion photographer Fadil Berisha who will spend about five days here taking the officials photos of the contestants for the Miss Universe website.

Fadil works with the Miss Albania and Miss Kosovo organizations. So, don't be surprised if Misses Albania and Kosovo gets better treatment as it happened in the past.

Meanwhile, here is a picture of Miss Paraguay Mareike Baumgarten departing for Bahamas.

I've been talking about Miss Earth new website yesterday and surprisingly, Miss Universe also updated theirs by uploading the headshots of each candidates to the 2009 Miss Universe in Bahamas. So, who do you think has the Best Headshot?

But I noticed some honest mistakes which include:

1. Miss Singapore Rachel Kum has the picture of Miss Philippines Pamela Bianca Manalo.

2. Miss Philippines named has been mispelled. Instead of PAMELA Bianca Manalo, what was written is PANELA Bianca Manalo.

Most of the ladies are beautiful in pictures. Most of them are photogenic. The question is, will there be a Miss Photogenic award this year after it was skipped last year?

Miss Indonesia Zivanna Letisha Sirigar is stunning in her headshot. She's a revelation. And I also noticed her big facial similarity with Miss Philippines Pamela Bianca Manalo.

Miss Korea Na Ri is not really that bad. She looks so sensual and sophisticated in the picture.

Miss Netherlands Avalon Chanel Weyzig is like a goddess. I love her almond-like skin colour.

Miss Paraguay Mareike Baumgarten Oroa's headshot should be changed. She doesn't look good in her picture. While most of the candidates have photoshopped pictures, Mareike's picture was not.

Miss Egypt Elham Wagdi is absolutely stunning.

These are only few of my comments. I try to post more next time.
