If you recall...she beat out Miss Oklahoma. Because Miss Oklahoma got asked a question about the AZ illegal immigration law...and she answered it correctly, but not PC.
LOL!
“Sweden Jerry....Sweeeeedennnn.” Kramer
I say they are fakihs
Miss Israel is cute, but there’s something weird about her face around the lower nose-to-upper lip area. I think she’s had a nose job and now the nose doesn’t fit her face. I suspect she had a serious hook at one time.
How can it be Miss Universe? There is not a single Klingon, Vulcan, Romulan, Ferengi or Borg entry!
“Guatemala - pff... those aren’t real”
For the life of me, I cannot understand this comment.
There’s gotta be fotos of her in uniform, right?
Dibs on Miss Puerto Rico! And Guatemala! Oh, and Israel. And Ireland. WTH....Miss USA too.
Husband of?
If she’s a “Believer”, she would never be able to be seen w/o a veil and Burkha, unless she wanted to be killed by her Family for “crimes agains Allah”. So no, I don’t think she would get a “Happy Ramadan”.
She’s a real beauty though!
It is my understanding that JRios1968 is involved in some capacity with The Institute Of Hitting It, perhaps as Public Information Officer, Steering Committee Captain or Resident Femme Fatale Point-Man, and so I must respectfully defer to his wisdom as to what, if any, official position will be adopted by The Institute on this and any other related matters.
In the meantime, here are some photos of Stephany Ortega, Miss Uruguay 2010:
You're quite welcome, and thank you very much for pinging your list :-)
Viivi Pumpanen, Miss Finland 2010
What sez you?
I would hit that like Oprah would hit a cheesecake.
If its approved by the Institute, then its good enough for me......giggety!
That’s some high-quality wimmins.
They should just name three runner’s up and make all the rest Miss Universe. :)
Then it’s settled...fist of an angry God...
Why thank you so much! :-) May God Bless you and yours as well, and as to being polite, I think that if we as a society can't show respect and adoration toward some of the most lovely ladies on Earth then there's not much point in our ever getting up in the morning, is there? ;-)
Lana Obad, Miss Croatia 2010
