Ms Michigan Rima Fakih’s victory in the Ms USA 2010 beauty pageant has given me big hope that the Philippines will do well in this year’s Miss Universe beauty pageant for the following reasons:
As beauty pageant fans know, Donald Trump is directly involved in choosing his beauty queens in the Ms USA AND the Ms Universe as he is the owner of both franchises. Since the new Ms USA Rima Fakih is Lebanese, it means he’s not immune to middle-eastern beauty. Our very own Ma. Venus Raj is part Indian and you can that clearly in her features.
Also, both Rimah Fakih and Ma. Venus Raj are transferees: When Rimah Fakih was an infant, her family immigrated to New York. Ma. Venus Raj, on the other hand, was born in Qatar to an Indian father; when she turned 3, her Filipina mother brought her home to Bicol where she grew up.
Both Beauty Queens have financial challenges. Ma. Venus Raj grew up in a hut, sans electricity, in the middle of rice fields in Bicol but thanks to private sponsors who supported her with clothing and finances, she was able to join beauty pageants. Rima Fakih, on the other hand had to sell her car just to be able to afford to join Ms Michigan.
And, if you haven’t noticed it yet, both girls have a very similar look – long dark curly hair, scarab-like eyes and bodies to die for except that Venus doesn’t look bony even if her waistline IS 22 inches. IMHO, Venus also has a more regal bearing about her.
I just hope Donald Trump keeps his lingerie dreams away from the Ms Universe 2010 beauty pageant.
So what do you think?
