MISS INTERNATIONAL 2009

Miss Mexico wins Miss International! Anagabriela Espinoza Marroquin won the title just a few hours ago in a glittering ceremony from Chengdu, China. First runner-up was Miss Korea Seo Eun-mi, and second runner-up was Miss UK Chloe-Beth Morgan. Beauty School's distinguished Dean's List students will remember that Anagabriela was our pick for Miss World 2008, so we are thrilled she is the 49th Miss International! Viva Mexico!Friday, November 27, 2009

"DO YOUR OWN JUDGING"
A great pastime at Beauty School is to leisurely peruse old pageant programmes. This weekend we unearthed the programme book for the 1963 Miss International Pageant with the lovely Stanny Van Baer of Holland on the cover after winning Miss International in 1962. We were particularly tickled by the full page instructions on how to judge the contestans. Excerpts follow: "Evening Gown, special attention should be to given to each contestant for the beauty and contour of her face, her ankles !!!, her feet !!!, the lines of her shoulders and ...her personality." "Play Suits, is primarily for beauty of figure, form proportion, the fine balance of feminine loveliness, along with poise, grace and personality." And finally "Speech, take into consideration the contestants charm, her personality,her poise, but chiefly her method of speaking, her style of delivery and above all, the intelligence of her remarkes." Given these criteria it's a wonder anyone could have won. You got to love it.

LOST IN TRANSLATION, PART II
We found another priceless goodie from the 40th Annual Miss International Pageant program book. We think what happened is the contestants filled out the information in their native language, which was then translated into Japanese and then back into English. This time we feature Miss Taiwan, whose ambition is "To become the Miss International to save mankind." Now that is even loftier than working for world peace. Say what?

BEAUTY SCHOOL JEOPARDY
Yesterday's Beauty School party went on into the early hours of the morning. Professor Chandni devised a Beauty School version of "Jeopardy" an extremely popular and long-running show on American television. Here's the final clue: She was born in China of Russian parents, moved Down Under and won an International Title in 1962. The answer? Tania Verstak, Miss Australia and the winner of the Miss International Pageant.

LOST IN TRANSLATION
A lovely Saturday afternoon on the Campus of Beauty School. All the students are gone and a perfect time for faculty and staff to get together. Lorraine, our beloved librarian, brought some deviled eggs and a stack of old pageant programs to keep us amused. We particularly loved the program of the 40th Anniversary of Miss International (donated by the way, but the ultimate pageant fan, William Prendiz de Jurado, to whom we are eternally grateful.) As you see there were some translation problems in what the candidates meant to say and what actually got printed. Miss Argentina wants to own her modeling agent and Miss Greece wants to do informational modeling. Say what?

RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES - 06-Nov-1980
TOKYO (PS&S) — Miss Costa Rica, Lorna Marlene Chavez, was crowned the Miss 1980 International Beauty in final judging Tuesday night. The 5-foot, 7-inch, beauty won over a field of 42 other contestants from around the world. Miss American Beauty, Charissa Ann Ewing, 19, was named first runner-up and Miss Spain, Maria Agustina Garcia Alcaide, 18, second runner-up.
"I'm too happy for words," Miss Chavez, 21, a former student at Tokyo's Sophia University said after her crowning. The lovely brunette measures 34-23-34 and weighs a trim 110 pounds. She enjoys swimming, tennis, dancing and is a professional model. Miss Chavez lived in Japan from 1968 to 1974 and says that Japanese cuisine is one of her most favorite foods.
At the outset of the contest, she had expressed hopes of being "in the top 15 finalists." She talked to her mother in Costa Rica right after her selection. She said her mother thought the contest would be a "good experience." "My mother told me to send kisses to everyone," Miss Chavez told the audience in fluent Japanese. The new Miss International also won the national costume segment earlier in the program.
