22 Year Old Kenisha Thom, repping "Sweet Sweet T&T"Miss Universe 2006 was on last night.
Confession #1: we watched it. And to our surprise, it was good.
It was a big old Bravo and NBC lovefest. We watched in part to see Miss USA in Kayne's creation (Project Runway). Interestingly Nancy O'Dell, Project Runway celebrity client from two seasons ago, hosted the show. She was about as interesting as a bag of rocks. Much better was Queer Eye's Carson Kressley. He was just "how you doin'" all over the place - he held nothing back. When Miss Puerto Rico came out, he started singing "Boricua, morena..." Like one of the old men on The Muppets, he commented on everything from make-up to hair to outfits. Santino Rice, also of Project Runway fame, was a judge. Other notable judges: the Brit who won the Apprentice; Emmet Smith; and the new Puerto Rican anchor on the Today Show, Maria Ayayay... listen that's not her last name, but I just really can't remember.
Confession #2: Black chicks watch these pageants with a keen eye on the minorities.
It takes a stunning white girls (not your average Becky or Sara) to capture our attention otherwise. Last night, there were some. Miss Switzerland Lauriane Gillieron was fab, as was Miss Denmark. But IMO, the night belonged to the blacks, latinos, and Asians on the stage.
Miss Trinidad and Tobago, pictured above, was stunning. We won't discuss the 12 foot bag of weave that she rocked as a ponytail. (I mean we're talking straight, shiny, black, and to her butt - like right out of the bag). We're also not so sure about the carnival regalia she wore as her national costume, but she was pretty and quite poised. One of the hosts called her the "best face" of the pageant. Her body was not bad either.
Miss Ethiopia, pictured below, was also stunning - vaguely reminiscent of Beyonce, no?

We're talking body like Iman - hips like whoa. She was robbed, she didn't make it past the first cut.
Miss Japan and Miss India were both cute and accomplished. Miss Japan wore this anime costume - it was cute - very Crouching Tiger. Damned if I could tell the South American chicks apart. They were all shiny dark hair, pretty tan, bronzer for days - except Miss Argentina - who was bottle blond. Miss Mexico was pretty.
Jamaica did not place - rare occurrence. We can't be hot all the time. Whatever.
Congrats to the winner, Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza of Puerto Rico, who walked away with the crown...and fainted shortly thereafter. She rocked her dress, though. The temporary 'rexia was totally worth it.
