Miss Universe 2009 alternate finalists

August 28th 2009 04:14
Mayra Matos Perez
I grew up watching Miss Universe with my father. He’d be illustrating away on his easel and I’d be glued to the television my adolescent hormones coursing through my lions. I remember Miss Venezuela winning in 1981. They’ve won the competition six times (the second highest after USA with seven wins). Puerto Rico has won five times, and Sweden three times. Miss Venezuela won last year and, setting a precedent, won again this year. Must be something in the water they drink.


Mayra Matos Perez
I have a predilection toward the darker complexion and brunette hair colour. My lover is olive-skinned and a brunette. As they say, the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I’d agree with that. Although they also say blondes have more fun, and as a blond myself, I’d have to agree, but my eye will wander in the direction of a dusky jewel more often than a creamy strawberry or platinum bombshell.

Indiana Sanchez
I’ve decided to post my personal selection of finalists for this year’s Miss Universe, as they differ quite significantly from the official place winners, which were Fourth Runner-Up: Miss Puerto Rico - Mayra Matos Perez, Third Runner-Up: Miss Australia - Rachel Finch, Second Runner-Up: Miss Kosovo – Gona Dragusha, First Runner-Up: Miss Dominican Republic – Ada Aimee De la Cruz, and Miss Universe 2009: Miss Venezuela – Stefania Fernandez.


Indiana Sanchez
It’s rather curious how many Latin-esque darker beauties have dominated the finals in recent years. Even the countries that that are more famous for pure-bred blondes (ie some of the Scandanavian and Bavarian contestants) are parading mixed dark heritage. All good with me. My own selection certainly reflects this (with one very close crossover). I've also taken the liberty of including photos taken from their modeling careers. So without further adieu here they are:

4TH RUNNER-UP:
MISS EGYPT - ELHAM WAGDI

It was a tough call between Indiana and Mayra, but the island girl came out on top. Ms. Perez is one svelte foh-ox! So, my favourite pics would have to be; Whitney on the yacht, Mayra in her black swimsuit, Elham in her bikini, Indiana in her evening gown, and Mayra's emerald close-up. Go the mochachino flavour!
