I’m a little backlogged on posts so here are quick shorts on some of the stuff I’ve been planning to write about but haven’t had the time to cover in detail. Malaysian all-girl team, Joe Jer and Zabrina win the Amazing Race Asia – the first female duo to ever win any edition the race. [...]
A sadist I am not, but there’s just something about seeing Amanda Congdon literally getting the shock of her life that really gets me to smile.

Two girls who, by the reputation that precedes them, make other candidates uneasy. Two girls who, by their sashes alone, make [...]
Partial preliminary competition photos have been posted on the Miss Universe Press site as well as other places on the net including Yahoo and Getty Images. I haven’t had the chance to see all girls in swimsuit and evening gowns yet so I’m holding off from doing another favorites list till tomorrow. I’ve seen even [...]
