May 30, 2007; Ms. Japan is the new Miss Universe!

Yesterday, the 56th annual Miss Universe beauty pageant was held at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, Mexico. Lots of controversy filled the pageant, like the blunders and boos from the crowd pertained to Miss USA, Rachel Smith. It is because of the policies that US is bringing up nowadays which affects the Mexicans per ce. She even slipped during the evening gown presentation, but went up and continued to ramp on. The winner of the pageant yesterday was Miss Japan, Riyo Mori, a 20-year old dancer who really loves to perform since she was a child. Miss Philippines Anna Theresa Licaros didn't make the top 15 but never went home empty-handed, because she won the Miss Photogenic award, making her the 7th Filipina to win the award, which is the most in the pageant's history.
