some miss u tidbits compiled from the internet:
"Miss Elegance - If there was a "Miss Elegance" title, the winner would probably be
Miss Philippines. Attending fancy dinner parties, walking on the streets of Mexico or playing the piano, Anna Theresa Licaros' posture and poise are always irreproachable. She will certainly score high in the evening gown competition!"
"Poland's Globmiss has selected 20 favorites: Albania, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Czech Republic, Greece, Honduras, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay,
Philippines, Poland, Russia, Thailand, USA and Venezuela."
"Belgium Miss & Mister has a couple of favorites per geographical region: Tanzania and Angola in Africa; India, Japan,
Philippines and Thailand in Asia; Czech Republic, Spain, Estonia and Croatia in Europe; Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Peru, USA and Venezuela in the Americas. Miss Belgium is not mentioned at all."
"Ines Ligron, Japan's national director, wrote some of her pupil's impressions on the pageant and some candidates, which caused discomfort among some internet fans and contestants themselves. For instance, she mentioned that when a photographer tried to take a picture of the Asian delegates,
Miss Philippines left the group saying "Sorry, but I am not Asian!" (imagine how the fanatic Filipino fans reacted to that!). She also mentioned that some of the Latin contestants were jealous of all the medial attention Miss Mexico had been getting."
