All About Miss Universe 2010 (PART 1)

This a a very late post but this is  not a full - fledge gay blog if it doesn't include an entry about beauty pageant. I am talking about the just concluded Miss Universe pageant to be specific. Millions of Filipinos around the world patiently waited for the live broadcast of the event from Mandalay Bay Resort. Here in the Middle East it was aired early morning and many of us sacrificed our much valued one more hour of sleep just to catch the live broadcast.

I woke up at 4:30 am and turned on my computer and logged into http://www.pinoy-ako.info/ to catch an early morning broadcast but was disappointed to find out that the pageant will not start until "Today with KC" is over so I searched the net for a live streaming and jumped in joy when after twenty something site I found one which was working. I contented watching the pageant in a spanish channel since it started 30 minutes ahead of the TFC broadcast.

The show started with the National Costume parade, and there amidst the sea of stunningly beautiful women, Miss Philippines Venus Raj stood out. With her almost chocolate colored skin and perfect body figure, I silently hoped that she will make it to the 15 finalists.

Then came the announcement of the top 15 finalists....
