Future ex Mrs. Trump?
No. In fact, she's quite a celebrity.
Agreed.
That's either silicone or botox...
I have no idea why I posted it on this thread.
I'm sure it has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of the thread.
Maybe I just like organic chemistry.
Or maybe you admire some of the possible uses for such a molecule! :)
I noticed over the last few years that The Donald has made MU a competition for the most face-melting gorgeous women, which is nice. Knowing what they want, I only do a run through the faceshots of the girls. I instantly picked Puerto Rico at first glance, and despite not seeing the show or their bodies, I've picked 2 or 3 of top 5 last three years. Now if you combined these faces with Hawaiian Tropic physiques you'd truly got the sexiest women in the world, but we can't ask for everything. Most candidates have some plastic surgery, usually sharpening and smoothing nose structure. Since the girls are young and live in gyms; they rarely need bodywork, except the occasional airbags. Surgery in Latin America is 80% off, $30 monthly payments are common.
I was disapointed with the Columbian choice. Maybe there is some gangster favoritism, since I see 20+ far prettier choices each day. Now if I didn't value my life, and used an armored tank to drive through the outskirt Barrios, I could locate hundreds far prettier than almost all the contestants without makeup or surgery.
I'm biased, but I don't see USA winning anytime soon. They rarely have the facial structure, and need to once and for all dump the cheap clorox blonde look. Natural beauty wins. I wouldn't have even noticed this year's US girl walking down the street.
Yahh, I agree with what you say.
After another look at all the contestants pictures from the show, I did think PR was in the top 5.
Amazing to find out that she is only 18 years old. She won something like that being soo young.
Plus PR is a lot less seedy with the beauty contests than countrys like Argentina or Columbia were its a like a culture.
I do like what the Donald has done with MU. He's made sure its still a beauty contest and not destroyed by political correctness.
