Miss Universe Contest, successfully held in Thailand
Prime minister Tak Shin
evaluated the last "54th Miss Universe Contest" held for three weeks in Bangkok
successful. He emphasized that through this contest which attracted a billion
viewers from 170 countries, Thailand was able to show it has recovered fully
from the Tsunami and praised how the new Miss Universe, Natalie Glebova, will be
a great public affairs ambassador of the country.
When Miss Thailand,
Miss Chanapon fell out in the preliminary contest choosing 15 contestants,
Thailand citizens held hope on Miss Norway, who is half Thai. The surprising
fact is that Miss Indonesia, who joined the contest three days before, made it
to the preliminary contest choosing 15 contestants. Indonesia has not
participated in the contest being a Muslim country but this time Miss Indonesia
wore a swimming suit for the contest.
Miss Glebova, chosen as Miss
Universe out of 81 contestants, is Miss Canada, born in Russia and she was the
only one not from a Latin country among the 5 finalists. It is said that she
acquired a high score for a clever answer in the final vote competing with five
other contestants. Glebova has started her busy schedule after the contest, what
with appearing on TV and attending official events. The Miss Universe has
happily claimed that the hardest thing to do is giving out autographs as the new
Miss Universe, Glebova said to the
press.
