One man in a thousand, Solomon says, Will stick more close than a brother. And it’s worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend On what the world sees in you, But the Thousandth Man will stand your friend With the whole round world agin you.

Rudyard Kipling, The Thousandth Man

The Allure of Pageantry: Honoring Variety and Giving People Power

"Accept your own you-niqueness"

-Angelie Nicole G. Almonte

Empowering your you-niqueness doesn't make you self-centered it makes you more confident, True beauty lies in embracing your flaws and imperfections. It's not too late for you to love yourself unconditionally. Accepting your flaws and imperfections makes you more stronger, Love yourself internally to glow externally.

Pageantry, Often associated with beauty pageants, pageants have the power to transform people by building their confidence and empowering them to embrace their unique qualities. While some may see the plays only focusing on physical appearance, there is much more to offer than meets the eye.

We will explore how pageantry helps people develop and increase their confidence, which ultimately leads to personal growth and empowerment. Browsing acts as a catalyst for self-confidence, personal growth and empowerment. By embracing inner and outer beauty, developing action skills, overcoming challenges, fostering personal growth and benefiting from a supportive community, participants gain the confidence to embrace their unique qualities and make a positive impact on the world.

The play transcends physical appearance and gives people a chance to shine and celebrate their true selves. In conclusion, the play is a transformative journey that helps people develop self-confidence, embrace their uniqueness and make a positive impact. Let us appreciate the power of the play to build self-confidence and celebrate inner beauty.

I hope this gives you valuable information on how you can help people increase their self-confidence.

The 72nd Miss Universe was one of the most bittersweet competition 🇵🇭

Michelle Dee was a high caliber candidate presenting the country🇵🇭 with pride. Her quest for the Miss Universe crown will forever be remembered. Im so happy that the Philippines are back on having placement but what saddens me a lot is that we never see her enter the top 5 this upsets the pageant fans most especially the Filipino people because we believe that there are posibilities that she will bag the crown despite her strong advocacy and intelligence in answering QNA's 👑✨

Forever a Queen raising the Philippines flag🇵🇭 Congratulations Michelle Dee Top 10 finalist 💋

Of course you're going to have crippling social anxiety if you spend too much time curating your persona; you'll experience every encounter with other people as a labor of performance.

If social media has taught us anything, it's how to concern ourselves so deeply with presentation that we can no longer identify ourselves beneath the veneer.

Hello Universe!

Pageant blogger yarn?! I can try, right?

Last December, Annie and I were in a call. One of the things we talked about was pageantry—Miss Earth 2022 had just been crowned a few weeks prior.

I've been a pageant fanatic for as long as I can remember. But it was only until these recent years that I started making my personal predictions for the pageants that I follow—and I keep them to myself. I usually make ones for Miss Universe, then Miss Universe Philippines when it was inaugurated, and sometimes I also do Miss Earth. I don't remember any time that I did predictions for Binibining Pilipinas.

I even have these excel sheets for scores and all that, to help me determine my picks.

That's when I told Annie that my predictions have a high accuracy rate. I don't predict who will be crowned, but somewhere in those that I scored high always emerged as the winner.

So... here it is—as requested! My Top Picks for the 71st Miss Universe competition.

Upper Tier

They all did well in swimsuit and evening gown competitions. I don't want to say that these are my Top 5, but I'm almost 100% sure they would make it to the semifinals.

USA nailed both competitions. Enough said. She is THE frontrunner.

Curaçao caught my attention from the moment she introduced herself—I immediately chatted Annie saying, "Curacao is pretty." I eagerly waited for her turn on both swimsuit and gown segments, and she did not let me down. Her beauty is effortless.

Mexico is a good performer. I didn't like her gown, but she worked it and slayed.

Venezuela is Venezuela. You could see that she was well-trained, and she was not over-the-top or unauthentic. I'm not a fan of her gown or her gown performance, but she served.

Puerto Rico is gorgeous, but is prone to too much shoulder rolling, making her performance bordering theatrical. Also, she seemed like she came from the same "fierce Latina" cookie-cutter mold that most Latinas have been exhibiting in any pageant.

Middle Tier

These are the girls who are generally top contenders as well, but something's bugging me about them.

Dominican Republic is hungry for it, and she might as well get it. Whenever she's on the stage, you can feel that she is happy with what she's doing. Sadly, I see her like a cookie-cutter candidate too.

Jamaica is oozing with confidence and she did great—however, something's iffy about her. I really want to see her in the finals.

Philippines has this easy, calm and relaxed demeanor about her that some people might think is underwhelming—it gets drowned out by those who are overdoing their pasarela. She did fine 'coz she just has this gandang di mo na kailangan pang ipilit, di tulad ng iba, todo awra para gumanda. And she was amazing in gown, otherwise I wouldn't be grinning from ear to ear. F*ck all the naysayers.

South Africa is good in both swim and gown, although her gown performance was a little subdued and I could feel her struggle with her form-fitting dress.

Colombia, although beautiful, may look too robotic sometimes. Like... she has mastered everything there is to do in the Miss Universe stage, it's so unreal. She can make it to the semis, but I don't see her winning.

Lower Tier

They did well on both swimsuit and gown, and if they get through to the finals, I won't question it. However, their chances of moving further in the competition is slimmer than those mentioned above.

France is a consistent candidate, and my only concern with her is that she lacks the extra oomph that the other candidates possess.

Aruba is outstanding—honestly, one of the first girls who caught my attention. I just hope the judges noticed her too.

I really like Germany. When she came out, I was like, "Guuuurl, you are soooo pretty... and I'm glad you know what to do on that stage."

Bahrain... Screams diversity. She knows what she represents and she uses it to her advantage. Her gown is simple but unique—although not new in the pageant scene—but the way that she carried it with so much class and elegance... she deserves an applause.

I can feel that Cambodia worked hard for this and is eager to get a spot in the finals. I wish she could get in the Top 16.

They Might Get In

They weren't particularly bad—and they actually did well on some segments—but I'm not a fan. Somehow, gut feels tell me they'd make it to the semifinals.

Wishlist

Seeing these girls on the stage made me smile, but they were outperformed by other candidates. I have big doubts on their chances of making the cut, but I'd be really happy if any of them would be called into the Top 16.

Alternates: Australia, Panama, Honduras, Great Britain

General Thoughts during the Preliminary Competition

The stage isn't that bad. We've seen worse.

The program was boring. I mean, I know that it's gonna be, but nothing they did helped with toning down the boringness. And the background music during the swimsuit and evening gown competitions isn't exciting.

The girls weren't given enough time to showcase themselves. There's a freakin' catwalk on the stage, why the hell did they not utilize it???

In relation to the bullet point above, what's with the cape? I mean... okay, I get it. Customize it, whatever. Good idea. But it would've been better if the hosts were reading something about the cape, at least we'd know what's it about—instead of just viewing what it means on some app. They can still tell something about the girls during the evening gown, either way. And the girls were told to turn around and show their capes, therefore limiting their poses and movements. Their time was already shortened, and then they had to divide that time between showing themselves and the damn cape.

Too many nude, beige, silver, gold, bedazzled gowns.

Too many gowns with flowy appendages—and some girls didn't know what to do with them. This is the side effect of Ms. Paraguay and her mint-green flowy gown from last year where she won as 1st Runner-up.

Lots of "viva magenta" gowns too.

I'm a bit bothered by how Harnaaz pronounces the countries' names. I mean, she could've learned how to pronounce them properly beforehand.
