“...Dominican Republic leading the pack."
If you’re reading this, then I suspect you probably watched the Miss Universe Presentation show online as millions of pageant fans did around the world, and have already formed your own opinions of who was hot and who was not. However, as one of the thousands sitting in the theatre and watching it live, I can tell you that seeing is believing. The 2009 Miss Universe presentation show was truly a feast for the senses.
The ever morphing stage designed by Art Director Joe Stewart was the first image to stir you – hues of lilac, lavender and mauve were reflected on crystal like sculptures hanging from the ceiling and on six of nine giant screens. On the three center screens, a mysterious blue wave. Within seconds, the theme changes to shades of turquoise, a reflection of the beautiful waters surrounding the Bahamas. And this is all before the show begins!
Shortly before 8 p.m. the stage was darkened as the contestants positioned themselves. And then the show began with the contestants introductions. The ladies looked lovely wearing white halter dresses with a floral panel, lending a touch of island flair. Pageant fans from across the globe have gathered here and they vigorously cheered on their favorites. Receiving the most applause were the contestants from Colombia, Dominican Republic, Great Britain, India, Israel, Jamaica, Mexico, Philippines, and Ukraine. However, the largest cheers came for Misses Bahamas, USA and Venezuela. The show’s hosts Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza and local radio personality Ed Field were introduced next and after light banter, they went straight into the swimsuit competition.
The colors of the stage took on a warm, earthy tone with shades of mustard, brick and red for the swimsuit portion of the show. Standouts in swimsuit were Angola, Australia, Bahamas, Belgium, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Honduras, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Namibia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine and Venezuela with Dominican Republic leading the pack. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, Ada Aimée de la Cruz (photo) commanded your attention with her amazing catwalk and fabulous physique.
Following entertainment by London based singer Anthoney Wright, the stage took on the regal colors of purple and blue for the evening gown competition. Standouts were Angola, Australia, Bahamas, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Kosovo, Namibia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Russia, USA and Venezeula. In my opinion, the gowns of the night belonged to Misses Angola, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, USA and Venezuela.
Several national directors were in the audience. Among them, Venezuela’s Osmel Sousa; Mexico’s Lupita Jones; Puerto Rico’s Désirée Lowry; Romania’s Mike Costache; and the Dominican Republic’s Magali Febles with whom I briefly spoke during dinner after the show.
The preliminar interview round begins on Monday and is expected to last over a course of three days. And then the fate of the top 15 will be sealed. We of course won’t find out who they are until the finale on August 23rd.

Re: Bianca Manalo: Bb Pilipinas - Universe 2009
She was superb in the swimsuit competition. However, she was just ok in her gown. I think she has a chance to place compared to the all of our queens (in Miss U) this decade. Irregardless of the results, she did her best. Mabuhay ka Bianca!

Re: Bianca Manalo: Bb Pilipinas - Universe 2009
This could be the last few posts of my coverage for Bianca's Miss Universe stint. Thank you Pageant Mania for letting me represent my beloved country THE PHILIPPINES. I have been blinded by my nationalism before (guess most Filipinos are prone to being one) but this year I can really say that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, I AM PROUD OF PAMELA BIANCA MANALO!
She has been one of the most bashed (if not the most bashed) delegate there is but I'll put my name at stake in saying that SHE HAS INDEED PROVED HER DETRACTORS WRONG!
To Bianca, THANK YOU for making me proud as The Philippines' Prime Minister in this forum. I'LL PRAY FOR YOUR (and OUR) SUCCESS!
I'll end this message with this video. My all time fave Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Universe Contestant, CYNTHIA OLAVARRIA's CHOICES FOR MISS UNIVERSE 2009!
