The 72nd Annual MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT will be broadcast LIVE from El Salvador on Saturday, November 18th on YouTube, Roku or Telemundo in the United States, starting at 8:00 PM ET.
The pageant's owners, JKN Global Group, out of Thailand, just filed for bankruptcy last week. This year's pageant will go on as scheduled.
I always watch this contest on Telemundo because Latin American countries take this pageant very seriously and do a great broadcasting the event. They even have a pre-show scheduled as well.
Two trans women, Miss Portugal and Miss Netherlands, will be competing amongst the 84 candidates. No word yet on whether they'll 'tuck in' during the swimsuit competition. What I do know is that the pageant directors of the Latin American, African and Middle Eastern countries are LIVID that trans contestants are allowed to compete.
So grab yourself a margarita, sit back and enjoy the show! I know I will. I've watched this pageant since the age of 4 in 1970 with my grandmother. God, I miss those times!
If someone has started a boycott against that contest, count on my support
Just saw my El Salvadorian friend at my late brother’s mass yesterday. Ironically, we were IN El Savador for the beauty contest in the 70s. There was an armed person at each corner. We got to HANG OUT with ALL the bikini-clad contestants around the hotel pool. It was COOL. And my brother and I came back wearing the machetes on our belts on the plane.
He said El Salvador’s really safe now, no armed guards. The ES Pres. just sent 1,000s to jail. He said it’s so different now.
You actually posted this?

Until women get the balls to stand up to these thieves and embarrassments as human beings, I just quit paying attention.

Thank you for the link to the photos. Some of those costumes are gorgeous!
I hate to say it, but Miss Nepal looks like she has whale vomit on her head. I’ve never seen such an ugly headdress.
Same to you and your family!
