No more Miss Kosovo at Miss Universe! It's official!

It has been announced by Agron Selimi, the owner of Miss Kosovo Universe pageant that there will be no representative from this tiny country for Miss Universe 2013 to be held in Moscow, Russia.

Oh, yes, it is for this year only. But is this really a big deal?

Misses Albania and Kosovo - Photoshopped Queens?

Fadil Berisha's - official photographer of Miss Universe 2009 pageant - girls, Misses Albania Hasna Xhukiçi and Kosovo Marigona Dragusha, were the second earliest to arrive in Bahamas after Miss France Chloe Mortaud for the Miss Universe 2009 pageant.

The three beauty queens got together immediately and with the latest pictures of them on their arrival, fans started to whine again about the beauty queens' real looks.

Prior to their arrival, beauty pageant lovers were pampered with stunning pictures of Hasna and Marigona all over the internet. Those pictures were highly doctored or "photoshopped" which set the expectations too high for both the ladies.

This is the reason why disappointed fans are more and more becoming vocal with their criticisms to the two of the most-hyped European delegates to the the Miss U pageant. Some fans are labeling them the Photoshopped Queens.

We hope to see the transformations of Hasna and Marigona in the following days. Hopefully, they can regained the admiration of those disappointed fans.

In that picture which is shown above, Chloe seems prepared for the pageant. She looks stunning.

Below is the photoshopped picture of Misses Albania and Kosovo.

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.

Candid Photo of Misses Albania Hashna Xhukici and Kosovo Marigona Dragusha

You probably have observed that Miss Albania Universe Hasna Xhukiçi and Miss Kosovo Universe Marigona Dragusha are one of the most hyped European candidates to the 2009 Miss Universe pageant because of their stunning photoshopped pictures circulating in the forums for beauty pageant lovers.

They have been in the favourite lists of self-proclaimed beauty experts or pageant-experts because they're really beautiful in those pictures. We kinda agree.

But we have discovered a candid shot of these two ladies and we admit we were disappointed to see them in this photo. Just take a look on the picture for yourself. You judge it.
