The star-shaped leaf pattern is said to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. Happy New Year 2019! Once again, the Philippines shined on international stage Catriona Gray is Miss Universe 2018 The 24-year-old, Catriona Gray, who beat off 92 contestants to take the coveted Miss Universe crown in Bangkok earlier this week, has thanked her country, saying she could not have done it without its support. In a video posted by the official Miss Universe account, Gray gushes: "I just want to say thank you to the Philippines, my country. You know, you guys have supported me all through this and if not for you, I would not have had the endurance or spirit to do what I do." The model touched down in Manila on Wednesday (December 19) to a hero's welcome, as she was greeted by a large crowd gathered to congratulate her on her title win. She told waiting press she was "so happy" to be back in the Phil- ippines, and said she was looking forward to getting started on her charity work and spending Christmas with her family. Former Miss Philippines and Miss World, Gray garnered a lot of attention during the competition for her incredible confidence, impressing even supermodels with her catwalks.

  • Reinas De Belleza De Puerto Rico: 2018-2020
    Reinas de Puerto Rico Según el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una reina es una mujer que ejerce la potestad real por derecho propio o una mujer que por su excelencia sobresale entre las demás de su clase o especie. Las primeras pertenecen al viejo mundo y las segundas son del nuevo. Puerto Rico ha sido prolífico en reinas. Ya en el Siglo XIX se celebraban fiestas de pueblo donde se escogían a sus reinas para celebrar el triunfo de la espiritualidad sobre la frivolidad y como representante de la monarquía regente. Reinas de Puerto Rico es un intento de identificar todas las damas de nuestra sociedad que de una u otra forma han representado a sus pueblos o al País en los reinados de carnaval, fiestas patronales, fiestas especiales y certámenes de belleza. Estas jóvenes pertenecen a la historia folclórica de Puerto Rico y con este trabajo le damos reconocimiento. ¡Qué viva la Reina! Flor M. Cruz-González, ([email protected]) Bibliotecaria Profesional, Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Arecibo. Agradecimientos Al presentar este proyecto que tomó cerca de ocho años en realizarse y que presento en un momento tan significativo para Puerto Rico, quiero agradecer primero a Dios que rige mi vida y me ha traído hasta aquí. Muy en especial al Sr. Rafael “Rafin” J. Mirabal Linares, por toda su ayuda con el material fotográfico, información y asesoría, al Sr. Confesor Bermúdez, por presentarme a Rafín, por siempre mantenerme al tanto sobre los certámenes de belleza desde que era uno de nuestros estudiantes y por brindarme el ánimo continuo con su gran sentido del humor y talento.

  • Umum – Juara II – Dasasila Bandung #3
    Perkembangan Pola Pikir dan Kepribadian Wanita Asia-Afrika dalam Mewujudkan Kesetaraan melalui Ajang Miss Universe Oleh: Ulfah Mawaddah - Kategori Umum Berdasarkan Tema: Dasasila Bandung dan Relevansinya dengan Kehidupan Masa Kini Subtema: Mengakui persamaan derajat semua ras serta persamaan derajat semua negara besar dan kecil Pada 18 April 1955 Konferensi Asia Afrika (KAA) dibuka Presiden Soekarno di Gedung Merdeka, Bandung. Kini, Asia Afrika sudah memasuki 65 tahun. Pengalaman yang menimbulkan perasaan senasib dan sepenanggungan itu akhirnya melahirkan persatuan tindakan, yang berhasil mewujudkan solidaritas rakyat Asia dan Afrika yang lahir 65 tahun silam. Berdasarkan catatan sejarah Kementerian Luar Negeri RI, dikutip republika.co.id, Sabtu (18/4), diadakannya KAA tidak lain karena dilandasi oleh gagasan dari lima negara yakni Burma (Myanmar), India, Indonesia, Pakistan, dan Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Pertemuan ini melibatkan 24 negara lainnya dari Asia dan Afrika yang berlangsung selama sepekan (18-24 April 1955). Yang paling membanggakan, kini, setelah Arsip VOC, puisi kuno La Galigo, kitab Negarakertagama, dan Babad Diponegoro, kini giliran Arsip Konferensi Asia Afrika ditetapkan sebagai Warisan Ingatan Dunia (Memory of World). Berbicara mengenai Dasasila Bandung yang merupakan hasil kesepakatan dari dilangsungkannya Konferensi Asia-Afrika pada tahun 1955 tersebut, tentu tidak akan terlepas begitu saja dari isu-isu seputar kesetaraan gender yang bahkan masih diperjuangkan hingga sekarang. Tidak sedikit pula wanita di Indonesia, bahkan di Asia dan Afrika sekalipun, yang belum mendapatkan hak mereka yang seutuhnya. Sebagian dari mereka masih terjebak dalam pusaran human trafficking, 1 rasisme, peperangan tak berkesudahan, dan masih banyak lagi hambatan dalam mencapai title sebagai manusia merdeka. Puluhan tahun berselang sejak diselenggarakannya KAA, persoalan pelik semacam itu masih belum dapat terselesaikan secara holistik.

  • Does Race Matter in International Beauty Pageants? a Quantitative Analysis of Miss World B S Z  R  W , PD U    B   C 
    Does race matter in international beauty pageants? A quantitative analysis of Miss World B S Z R W, PD U B C Abstract: Most research on race and beauty pageants uses qualitative research methods and focuses on national beauty pageants. For this reason it is unclear whether there are broad patterns of racial inequalities in international beauty pageants. My study addresses this issue by using a quantitative approach to examine whether race affects success rates in international beauty pageants. This study examines countries that have competed in the Miss World pageant from 1951 to 2011 and examine each country’s probability of winning and being in the semi- fi nals. The analysis shows that race matters. White countries have a much higher chance of winning and being in the semi-fi nals than non-white nations. Furthermore, white nations have been over-represented as winners and semi-fi nalists while non-white nations have been under-represented in both those categories. The patterns of success for white nations and lack of success for non-white nations demonstrates that beauty is not neutral and that global beauty pageants can be seen as a refl ection of racial hierarchies and a reaffi rmation of the ideology of white beauty. Introduction Studying Race in Beauty Pageants than simple phenotypes, in beauty pageants Browsing through the headshots of the Although race is a socially constructed where the body is visually displayed, physical 2011 contestants on the websites of the Miss concept, the concept of race and racism appearance is a noticeable way of signifying World and the Miss Universe pageants, the persists3, and in order to study racial race.5 Moreover, the general public that view women’s beauty was indisputable.
