The finale of the Miss Universe pageant is a week from Sunday. It will be televised on NBC at 8 Eastern, 7 Central. We wrote about the pageant and previewed some of the contestants here. Miss Universe now easily eclipses Miss World as the leading international beauty pageant. It is on television, for one thing; it still has a swimsuit competition, for another. Also, Miss Universe promotes itself far more skillfully, perhaps because it is owned by Donald Trump. The main Miss Universe web site is here; the pageant’s YouTube feed is here; its Facebook page is here; its excellent Instagram account, which is supplemented by lots of contestants’ accounts, is here. On YouTube, you can see brief interviews with the contestants, and the main web site finally has a good selection of photos for each contestant.
The contestants have been assembled in Miami for a week or so and have participated in a variety of activities, all of which have been copiously photographed. Yesterday they took the swimsuit photos, a signal event. There are small versions of the photos on the pageant site, but much higher resolution ones are available at Missology. Yes, there are web sites devoted to pageantry. We scour the Internet so you don’t have to.

Yes but the women are truly “ornamental” cuz they are so gorgeous!
Too much airbrushing in the photo processing, but there’s no need to stray too far from home, I’ll take Miss USA...
Of those I have narrowed my choice down to either Miss France or Miss Serbia.
You have not met "exercise mom", Maria Kang:
Yeah, I know about her. I figured she might show up.
But you have to admit that she is a very rare exception. Especially considering that most women didn’t look anything like that pre-pregnancy. LOL!
or 44 year old mom of four Lora Colson
It takes a lot of work in the gym, and most women aren't willing to put in the time to accomplish it. Most men aren't, either.
My point is that it is more of a matter of motivation, than "it can't be done".
Of course it can be done.
Are you sure the second one isn’t really a guy? Maybe a bit too much.
She’s theoretically a mom of four. Perhaps she did steroids to get back in shape?
I wouldn’t be surprised if she had. Being in top shape is one thing for a woman, 6-pack abs is another.
Gabon is on the Atlantic coast of Africa, north of the mouth of the Congo River. It was a former French colony.
Yep
