Miss Universe World Pageant 2005

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you, MISS UNIVERSE WORLD 2005


Just a sample pic... nothin' to do with any pageants or what not

Yes yes, it's one of those drag diva contests again. Funny it may sound to you, or rather ridiculous to some, but the contest itself is actually rather serious and as about the same as the real pageant thingie.

The real pageant has an introduction round whereby the contestants parades either in their traditional/ national costumes or just in casual wear; THAT we also have. The real pageant thingie has a round where all the contestants will parade in evening gowns of their own choices; THAT we have it here too, in this 'make believe ' pageant. The actual pageant does require the contestants to wear either one piece or two-piece swimwear, normally sponsored. NOW this one, SOMETIMES we have it here, MOST of the times we DON'T. Why? Ask the organizers and plus - most of the contestants don't feel comfy in it - understood lah, drags maaaa... ehehhe. Then the real thing has top 10*, q and a session, and then the results.
*Depending on the contest, some may even have top 15 to even top 20 before narrowing down to the final lineups of 5 maybe 6 contestants

The ONLY I say, only thing, that sets the real contest with THIS KL make believe contest - is that the contestants, well, lets just say, for THIS 'make believe' pageant thingie, are somewhat different than those competing in the real Miss Universe pageants or Miss World pageants - go figure :)

So anyways, tonight is the night when KL will have it's new make-believe:
- Miss Universe 2005 (Main prize/ title)
- Miss World 2005 (1st runner-up)
- Miss Earth 2005 (2nd runner-up)
- Miss International 2005 (3rd runner-up)
- Miss Continental 2005 (4th runner-up)
- Miss Globe 2005 (5th runner-up)

This entry reminds me of last years Miss Universe World, which I, apparently participated *one of my last few participations before I said farewell to the beautiful world of beauty queens*.

I remembered clearly I took part as Miss South Africa - boy that was a change as I normally would take up South Americana coutries especially Columbia and Mexico... Wanna hear my intro? Nothin' fancy - somethin' simple I guess, for a change...

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome down to Miss Universe World 2004. From a country that embodies unity through diversity, I'm Lauriellelai Kubeckka Kingston, South Africa!"

No no, this is not an entry about that contest last year... LOL no of course not. WHY? Sajeeee....ehehehe. No lah. Reasonnye cam nih.

Basically I didn't wanna compete. But since a good friend of mine insisted that me competed, and dia nak sponsor my evening dress, which dia berbelanja like, wooohoo! Banyak jugak, so - tannak menghampakan niat kawan, mek masuk also on last minute noticed. Picked up South Africa since itu jer country yang available, like - another 3 weeks before pageant itiew baru I decided to compete.

So the usuals, me shop for dresses and what not - not to mention my friend nih designed the Versace-look Evening wear, in shocking yellow and green colour - so last year's hottest colours around. Ehehe.

Preparations made, although ala kadar. As usual, bile dah dekat seminggu to the contest, persiapan ala kadar dah siap, and dari semangat biase biase aje terus berkobar2 nak compete, very DQ - the usual me. Mula2 feeling like "oh well, it's just another contests- win or lose, dinch kisah" but NOPE! Just before the contest, I started setting up high expectations... my fault, my mistake.

The night started late - planned at 8pm but eventually started at 10pm. I was starving like nobody's business. Owh wait, this started to sound like an entry about me competing in last years event. Tsk tsk tsk - ok ok CUT SHORT!

So I managed to get into the top 15 semifinalists and I was like one of the talked about contestant to be in the top 10, tapi, NAN ADO! Didn't get through into the final 10. Tsk tsk tks - as usual, me, went down the stage, CRIED like nobody's business. Walhal apa la sangat mek keluarkan for that contest? Regsitration fees, sponsored. Evening dress, sponsored. Casual sponsored... mek bayar make up and also bawak pasang badan jer for that night. I know I know I tak patut sentap tapi if you guys were there, ugrh!

BUT SERIOUSLY if you ask me now, to tell u guys in detail from A to Z about last years Miss Universe World 2004 - MEMANG I takkan citer, dah sebab MEMANG MEK TAK AMIK PORT lepas didn't make it into the final cut 10. Sentap! Tak concentrate dah pun. But ROUGHLY... nih la resultnye...

TOP 15 semifinalists *in random order

And some other sub awards mek dah tak ingat. I was hoping for Best Evening dress though- tak expected best hair-do yang dengan menggayakan 3 lapis rambut wig itiew. Gambar? Nanti la mek selongkar - I tak banyak pics from that contest. Correct, sbb mek tak dapat top 6! Ehehe. NO LAH - reason being camera mek rosak. Guna camera kawan. Kawan pulak very clever - didn't snap pics sbb ASYIK tgk pageant. SENTAP DAK!? Ehehehehe

MISS EARTH: ***Hmmm - asal mek leh lupe yang nih ek? tsk tsk tsk...
MISS WORLD: Miss Greece (1st runner-up)
MISS UNIVERSE 2004: MISS INDIA (Winner)

Waktu diaorang annouced the results tu I think I was already up in my hotel room - yeap, so much for Miss Friendship - eheheh. SENTAP tak terhengga time itiew. No no, sentap waktu kalah dengan Miss G during Miss Universe 2003 tu lain - sentap sentap pon dapat 2nd runner-up to the title, so lain lah. Ini, muke mek! Tercampak keluar dari top 10? MALU ok! - konfenssion terus terang mek. Ekekeke

So tonight, I think by now, diaorang dah start kot contest itiew. Resultsnye, tunggu lah mek buat entry tomorrow. Nanti lah I nak do research and buat entry pasal which country yang dah banyak menang titles, nah? Ooooo this is gonna be fun! No - not the REAL contest thingie. Nih, this make believe pageants in KL nih la... ekeke Tgk negara mana selalu menang.. Ehehehe.

BE SURE to stay tuned for the results in tomorrow's entry nah? :)

Tapi kalau u only have negative thoughts as well as comments - save it la to urself. Kalau things yang positive dan leh membantu - by all means, go ahead. Bukan sentap tapi I just feel like - ini hak saya, my world, my style, my life ... so, paham2 aje lah, ek? Thanks...
