71st Miss Universe, New Orleans (finals 1/14/23)

USA won…one of my top 2!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Was at family party and we’re still mighty proud of Puerto Rico making top 5! 🇵🇷 No block party, as in the five winning years (a while back!), but still a celebration. 🥳

I only got nine of the top 16 but, hey, I named a few. I also admired several of the others, such as the ballet dancer Canada and the very fit Australia.

The new owner, Mme Anne, seems like quite the character. So she’s hoping to take the top three to Bangkok…or use their talents? So that’s USA, Venez & DR.

Mexico was definitely a fave, though not on my list. After the National director, Lupita Jones, commented about some of the planned changes (allowing mothers, married women, etc) I was afraid that it might hurt the Mexican. There may have been other reasons.

Sorry about those trying to access Roku for English…and that’s why I’m avoiding the Lake Placid College competition!!! Enough wires and strings popping out of my TV set!
 
Speech during last night’s finals by the new owner, Mme Anne J. It was powerful to hear this in English (fan view), rather than the Telemundo dub in the original TV broadcast.


This is the first/only time that I’ve seen a speech by any MU pageant owner…and I’ve been watching every year from 1964. From Harold Glasser to Donald Trump to whoever led IMG. I don’t really follow Miss World but recall that its owner Mrs Morley did speak a small amount in their finals.
