Womenality

Twenty days from now, the world will be graced again by the most beautiful ladies as they compete on the title of Ms. Universe 2010. In my existence, I can only remember two Filipina beauty queens who competed represented our country for the Ms. Universe pageant (well, except for Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran). And they are Charlene Gonzales and Mirriam Quiambao. I must admit, they are so far two of the many beauty queens who have made their mark on me since I was born. =)

Today, I’m including Venus Raj as the third Filipina beauty who is making a mark on me. See… I’m blogging about her. Anyways, the blog is not about the few beauty queens I know but the support that I’m asking for our representative. News said that Venus is ranking on top with the online voting. Let’s all continue to support her by voting the popularity contest on Ms Universe official page and by praying that she’ll make us proud for bringing home the crown as the third Ms Universe of the Philippines.

Goodluck, Venus!

By the way, I’m running a poll about Venus Raj. Please let us know what you think by casting your vote.

FHM, one of the world’s most leading men’s magazines hailed Angel Locsin as the 2010 Sexiest Woman. She got a total of 284, 156 votes. Second and third placers are Christine Reyes (2009 Sexiest Woman) and Marian Rivera who got 227, 390 votes and 218, 724 votes respectively.
