At the lobby of the delegates hotel in Vietnam, from left: beautiful Nayla, Miss Brazil director and my friend, Hiroko, Miss Brazil and Sun Miss Korea oops… what about Miss France?!…. My friend Lipe, national Director of Miss Angola. My dress is by Akiko Ogawa, my favorite Japanese designer. We just arrived in Japan with Hiroko, our team and the media. Miss Bolivia, Mexico and Cayman Islands were in our plane as well. So tired as we haven’t slept in ages… we went straight to the office for a press conference directly from the airport. I have not disapeared but Hiroko being in the top 15 has created a lot of interviews and we have not ate and slept and we have worked so hard that we both are at the end of our rope…. Going to have a massage now and I shall write later on tonight. Tomorrow I leave for Los Angeles only for one day, then New York to shoot with diva Jennifer Lopez for an ad campaign in Japan. Connecting after the shoot to paris and going to meet my family, my babies. cannot wait to see them. Riyo comes back to japan after tomnorrow. The first time that the Miss Universe IOrganization have 2 misses working together which is cool. Riyo has left a very good impression and will leave good memories to all at the Miss Universe Organization. I am proud of her, so much! We are thrilled about japan being one of the 15 most beautiful women. Much love to all always, ines
