The 'curves' of Miss Universe

Just got a few glimpses of the Miss Universe Pageant last night. It was broadcasted in the Hallmark Channel in cable, but it run in parallel with my favorite AXN shows, so I had to jump from channel to channel.

The 5'10" Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza, 22, gave perhaps one of the most memorable responses during the Q and A portion. What is the difference between men and women?

Men think that the fastest way to go to a point is to go straight.
Women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the curves.

And with that, many would argue, she won the title. Now that's beauty and brains at its finest!

The 2008 Miss Universe pageant was held in Vietnam which, as can be expected from hosting countries, Vietnam is promoted heavily as a tourist destination. :)

One other highlight is Miss USA Crystle Stewart taking a fall during the evening gown section, similar to what happened to last year's Miss USA Rachel Smith.

Not sure why so many people are making a big deal about the trip. She tripped, okay? It happens to all people every now and then. And yet, she makes the front page of a newspaper! It's not a tabloid, mind you. It's a freakin' newspaper! A big picture of her sitting on her rump after falling down is hogging the front page. What? No other news to report about? Geez, get a life! :)
