Agreed, enthusiastically!
Priscilla Lee, Miss Aruba 2010
I checked out all of the pics and couldn’t find a single guilty one! Best ever! Thanks!
Miss Auuba is a babe! If I had to make a choice, she would be in...err, the top 50.
Absolutely! ;-)
Maria Nowakowska – Miss Poland 2010
Will you settle for Miss Switzerland? ;-)
Linda Fäh – Miss Switzerland 2010
Nice, Thanks!
I am going to write your name in stone and put a gold star next to it.
That’s some high-quality wimmins.
I'm delighted that you approve :-)
They should just name three runner’s up and make all the rest Miss Universe. :)
You won't get any arguments from me ;-)
Anna Amenová – Miss Slovak Republic 2010
WOW! You've been busy! I'm delighted that you've found this to be worthwhile :-)
To All:
It's getting late where I am and I'm pretty beat, so I'm not going to post any more photos at least for tonight.
I'm seeing at the official Miss Universe site that there was an evening gown photoshoot today (in four parts) and they are fantastic!

and there's also a video which they describe as a 'swimsuit fitting' but it's CBS footage of many of the ladies lounging around a pool and features short interviews with Miss Haiti and Miss Australia..

Thanks to everyone for all your kind words and participation. Goodnight :-)
‘night!
( first, best post ever)
1. Israel
2. Croatia
Honorable ( snicker) mention to Uruguay
Thank you so very much for your exceptionally gracious compliment; I'm delighted that you and others have enjoyed the thread :-)
I can't even begin to make a list of my own....they are all so lovely. "sigh"
The world would be such an awful place without pretty ladies and without some means for us to show them our adoration and appreciation for their existence.
I've already posted a few photos of Miss Israel at #26,

so here are some of Miss Guatemala:

And here's a 'hello to my fans' video, with others linked along the side of the page:

I’m going for Miss Guatemala, winning slightly over Miss Israel.
Israel is more exotic-looking, and perhaps more beautiful, but Miss Guatemala is just damn sexy.
