This is really it: Miss Universe 2015 will be on...


This is it folks. Miss Universe 2015 will be live in Las Vegas on December 20, Sunday, Paulina Vega, Miss Universe 2014 will be crowning her successor at the end of the event.

If you happen to be in the area, you may start booking your hotel and ticket near Planet Hollywood, surely the demand will be as high as Miss Universe remains to be the biggest annual beauty pageant.

Excited for our Miss Universe Philippines 2015 Pia Wurtzbach? So am I. :) 

Hmm, checking out the December 2015 schedule for beauty pageants, it would be an exciting one for all pageant bloggers. , ,

Intecontinental One More Time: Christi Lynn McGarry's chances anyone for Miss Intercontinental 2015?

The last three years I was doing pageant blogging, I've never heard of any Filipina beauty queen who would be competing in the same international pageant twice, low and behold, came Christi Lynn McGarry, who was crowned last March as Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015. If you must remember, Christi was also sent by Mutya Ng Pilipinas to compete in the Miss Intercontinental 2010 pageant where she placed in the Top 15 and was the Best in her continent as the Miss Intercontinental Asia and Oceania.

Everybody got high hopes for Christi, who would be leaving for the Germany contest, anchored by the preparations done for her by Aces and Queens. She was also advised upon by Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner Up Kris Tiffany Janson, something that she said she was not able to do during the first time she entered the contest.

For me, Christi is one of those who deserves to move on to the Finals. A Miss Intercontinental crown? Probably Yes, I'm sure Christi would be working so hard for that.

Parul Shah guns for Miss Grand International 2015: Coronation Night Live Tonight

Wishing our Miss Grand Philippines Parul Shah the best of luck in her journey to be the next Miss Grand International 2015. The Coronation Night will happen at the Indoor Stadium Huamark in Bangkok, Thailand. I am praying for a placement, much more a victory for our dearest Parul who waited for a year to be able to compete.

Pretty sure there would be a live streaming link via www.missgrandinternational.com so we can all witness Lees Garcia, reigning Miss Grand International crown her successor. Janelee Chapparo, the very first Miss Grand International will reportedly be a judge in the final event.

How will Parul fair after Ann Colis' Miss Globe 2015 victory?

The New Bb. Pilipinas Website

A better and classier Bb. Pilipinas Website

In case you haven't notice, www.bbpilipinas.com already has a new look, a better and sleeker one which provides the user a better interface through the website. Once you click the "Bb. Pilipinas Queens", you would be seeing the titleholders, with Bb. Pilipinas Tourism out and Miss Globe Philippines in (new title for Ann Lorraine Colis):


Is it safe to assume that there would be 6 crowns for Bb. Pilipinas 2016? Parul Shah was included in the list as Miss Grand Philippines and whatever the result of Miss Grand International 2015 would perhaps be turning over the crown to the Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2016. 

Your blogger is pretty excited for the things to come for BPCI, with 2015 starting on a high note with Ann Colis winning Miss Globe.

Throwback Sunday: Maricar Balagtas and Miss Globe International 2001


After Ann Lorraine Colis' victory as Miss Globe 2015, there was much confusion when she was mentioned as the first titleholder from the Philippines as Maricar Balagtas was mentioned in the conversation when she won in 2001. 

The Philippines, through Maricar won the Miss Globe International 2001 contest which is based in Turkey while Miss Globe, to which Ann Colis is the reigning winner is based in Toronto, Canada. 

Maricar earned the right to join Miss Globe International 2001 when she was appointed by Madam Stella Marquez Araneta as she was Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner Up in 2001. 3 years later, she was Miss Universe Philippines 2004 where she represented the country at Quito, Ecuador.

Miss Global 2015 will be in the Philippines

Miss Global Philippines 2015: Mary Candice Ramos
The third annual Miss Global pageant will be held on October 22, 2015 (Thursday) at Resorts World, Manila with Ela Mino, reigning Miss Global on hand to crown her successor at the end of the event.

"We chose to hold the pageant in the Philippines this year because we have built a great relationship with our franchisee, the Miss Global Philippines Organization" said executive director Tea Mak. The country will play host to nearly 50 queens which includes Miss Global Philippines 2015 Mary Candice Ramos.

Miss Global caters to a different kind of beauty pageant participant, allowing single mothers to particpate and with age range from 18-35 years old. The slogan "empowering women, embracing culture and embodying the future within" speaks of a more diverse mission, which is beyond physical beauty.

Last year, Miss Global Philippines 2014 Catherine Almirante was the first representative winning the 2nd Runner Up placement. This year's Miss Global Philippines Candice Ramos, 28, from Vigan, Ilocos Sur is not new to the pageant scene as she was also part of the 2012 Miss Philippines Earth where she was crowned Miss Philippines - Eco Tourism. 

Miss Global along with MGP CEO Pauline Laping will be on hand to oversee the event leading to the coronation night.
