That costume used to belong to a drag queen according to a story from the National Post.

The answer is Miss Panama. If you watched you saw her this evening. She crowned the new winner Miss Dominican Republic.

Thanks. Yes, Miss Egypt was carrying the awful weight that goes along with this type of conversation. Smirk.

Miss Greece does it for me!!!

Not at all.

Only the Malaysian and Philippines reps seemed to have non-conventional Asian features and that's for very good reason: There are a ton of Indians and Dutch-mix in Indonesia and the Filipinas are often mestizos(Spanish or Chinese or both mixed with Pinay)

The rest seem to have pretty standard Asian features, but I've seen vastly superior entrants. There's no way that those women are the best that Thailand, Singapore(who could also run an Indian or Malay woman,) or Korea could offer.

BUT, my girlfriend told me that a HUGE number of Korean women do get surgery, and though most do not completely rid themselves of the epicanthic skin fold(the skin that makes up the "Asian eye") they do reduce it. I just don't think any of these women look like any of the post-surgery types I've been shown.

My thanks to the moderator for the re-post. I didn't see it yesterday.

Baby got some back!

[DoughtyOne]

...meant to say competition (not conversation). Oh well...

[gridlock]

IMHO, Miss Poland takes the prise this year. It's all in the eyes.
