My Top 3 Delegates @ Miss Universe 2008

Miss Universe 2008 will be held at the Crown Convention Center (Diamond Bay Resort) in Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 14, 2008. There are 80 contestants who will compete for the very prestigious title. My top 3 favorite delegates for this year's Miss Universe are (in no particular order):

Miss Philippines - Jennifer Barrientos

Jennifer Barrientos is a Tourism graduate at the University of Sto. Tomas. She is 22 years old and stands at 5'8". I bet that she will take home the Miss Photogenic award this year, don't you think so? Just take a look at her smile, it's so charming. Unfortunately, her butterfly-accentuated-national-costume for the pageant is a disaster! Even her hairpiece for the costume made her look like having a flower pot on top of her head. In spite of that, I still believe that Ms. Barrientos can make it to the top 5 :-)

Miss Korea - Lee Ji-seon or Sun Lee

Sun Lee is 25 years old and stands at 5'7". She is a student of Parsons School for Design but currently on-leave to concentrate for her pageant training under the tutelage of the renowned French beauty pageant trainer Ines Ligron. FYI, Ines Ligron is the same woman behind the success of Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori. Sun Lee is often being compared to the very beautiful Miss Korea 2006 Honey Lee who ended up third runner up in Miss Universe 2007. But in my opinion, Sun Lee has a great chance to surpass Honey Lee because of her confidence, charm, wit and sexiness (I envy her super toned legs).

Miss Japan - Hiroko Mima

Hiroko Mima is a student of Nihon University with physical education as her major. She is 21 years old and stands at a towering height of 5'10". She is a self-confessed sport addict who especially loves to play basketball and high jump. Just like Sun Lee, she is also being trained by Ines Ligron. If you're going to visit Ines Ligron's blog, you will see Hiroko's great transformation. She has poise and knows how to carry her dress well. Is she going to be the next Miss Universe after Riyo Mori? Who knows :-)
