Netherlands crowned 19 year-old Avalon-Chanel Weyzig yesterday, 27 June 2009, as the country's representative to the the 58th Miss Universe edition in the Bahamas on August 23rd.

The trivia: Miss Netherlands Universe 2009 is half Indonesian. We will try to write more about this when we get more information from Indonesian pageant lovers who are reading our blog.

Weyzig's court include Stephanie Bos and Stevie Hartmann who were the First and Second Runners-up, respectively. The national pageant was organized by Kim Kotter.

Netherlands first entered the Miss Universe pageant in 1956. It won the title once in 1989 when the country was still known as Holland. Angela Visser was crowned in Cancun, Mexico and was also voted as the Most Beautiful Miss Universe winner.

Melanie Marquez Studies Law

1979 Miss International winner, Mimilanie Marquez or Melanie as she is famously known, is really serious in becoming a lawyer in few years. Considered as the Most Beautiful Miss International winner, Melanie is currently enrolled at  the Law School of Arellano University in Manila, Philippines.

The funny thing is that Melanie's married to an Australian-based attorney whose surname is Lawyer.

Before taking Law, Melanie graduated as a Cum Laude with a degree in Business Management in November 2006. She is still beautiful and youthful at the age of  45.

Rachael Kum Wins Miss Singapore 2009

Rachael Kum, 24, is the winner of Miss Singapore 2009 that was held on Saturday night, May 9, at Shangri-La Hotel's Island Ballroom. She will represent this tiny Asian state at the Miss Universe 2009 which will be held at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas on August 23.

The victory was not an easy win for Rachael who went against all odds. Prior to the coronation, she was mired in a controversy when she was accused by many including fellow contestants of allegedly skipping the preliminary audition rounds and compulsory activities.

Rachael is a manager in the medical industry. She stands 1.71 m. She also bagged two minor awards - The Most Body Beautiful and Miss Personality.

I just don't understand how she managed to get the award of Miss Personality if she has been accused by her fellow contestants of being prima donna.

Miss Singapore 2009, who was a former New Face finalist won $5,000 in cash, a trophy and products and services from the sponsors.

First runner-up is April Wang and second runner-up is Cheryl Wee.

Hi.

My purpose on having this blog is to let you update what is happening and what have had happened on beauty pageants. Well, aside from that, this will also serves as my journal for things I would like remember through the years.

Well, visit me here often and you'll gonna understand what I am talking about.

I am willing to take any comments and I am happy to answer every questions to the best of my ability.
