KOREA, JAPAN AND PHILIPPINES smimsuit shoot JAPAN, KOREA AND INDIA ALL THE WAY! Beautiful gowns and girls! These gowns are their choice for the picture that will be up on the Miss Universe website and not the gown that they will model on stage on the day of the telecast. Japan models a gown by Loewe for SS08, Korea models a Etro silk gown for SS08. Love India’s gown, very fresh, modern and high fashion. I spoke with Hiroko after she arrived and she said that she thinks that Trinidad & Tobago is really charming-cute, classy and mega smart. And, that she thinks Miss India is the most beautitul of all the delegates. She said that some delegates are so fake and old-fashion. but that some girls really stand out for they real-girl look , fresh beauty and good heart. The look that Miss Universe is looking for. Do you want to know who they are? Miss Universe wants someone like Jennifer Hawkins (2004) and Riyo Mori (2007). Mr. Trump in an interview said that tboth are the 2 best Miss Universe ever. And this is also what I hear from the MUO staff always. JAPAN & PHILIPPINES at the Welcome dinner Hiroko arrives at the welcome dinner party in Hoh Chi Minh. She wears a dress and belt designed by Karl Lagerfeld for FENdi spring summer collection. With a Samantha Thavasa bag “LOVE versus Hate”. Accessories by Scooter and red platform shoes by YSL. Jennifer looks so fresh and stylish. Germany and Russia are modern beauties, and I like them as well very much. KOREA Sun on her first night, at the hotel, while dinning at the coffee shop. Sun is so lucky she can eat so much, if she doesn’t then she looses her weight very quickly. She was horrified after returning from North Korea becauise she had lost 2 kilos in 5 days only. We always laugh that Hiroko and Sun are on a completely different spectrum. Sun needs to keep her weight up, and Hiroko needs to always be careful with what she eats. Sun and her roomate beautiful Miss Ireland
