Neil the Phillipines used to be a Spanish colony.Fron 1565 to 1821  That is why Miss Phillipino looks hispanic.

Or many of the Hispanic's look Filipino.   There are many Hispanic's here and I am amazed sometime because some of them look so Asian.

Miss Angola Leila Lopes was crowned Miss Universe, beating out the other 88 competitors.

 The first runner-up was 23-year-old Olesia Stefanko of Ukraine and the second runner-up was Priscila Machado of Brazil. The third was Miss Philippines and the fourth Miss China.



Hey 2 of our Asian girls made it quite far.

Yeah that was screwie. Miss China was TALL, 6 foot and then heals? The only thing with her is she had the wrong eye makeup on, just to much couldn't see her eyes.

Looking at the poll (Which I arrived to late to vote on) I would have gone for Miss Guam.

Only because she had no votes and China is this week holding the Ethnic Minorities Games.  So it would have been in keeping with current events.  The opening ceremony was as big as the Olympics!

I have seem some peculiar events I can tell you. 

Spinning a wooden top and trying to knock another of the podium.   Tug of war back to back length of material between legs and pull for men only!!!
