Hey guys
So the top model of the world
2020 competition took place at the Meraki resort in Hurghada, Egypt last January 24th.
And the winner was Nicole Menayo representing Spain. Her court includes first runner-up Mauritius and second runner-up
Colombia. The two remaining finalists were Australia and Ukraine
Two sources informed me that virtually all of the other
contestants were not happy with Menayo's win and that none of them came up to congratulate her
Many were even angry at her and said that she didn't deserve a top 5 spot. I
scoured her social media, and I don't see any photos or videos of her mingling with fellow contestants
None in the competition's official Facebook page either
It is reported that Menayo o has dual citizenship - Costa Rican and Spanish
She is a pageant veteran, having
represented Costa Rica in Miss Grand International 2018 where she made the top 20, in Miss Supranational
2017 where she placed in the top 10 and in Misss Mesoamerica International 2016, where she was unplaced
No Spanish group or individual was interested in acquiring the Spanish franchise so Menayo, by virtue of being half-Spanish, bought the franchise,
made herself the National Director and sent herself as Spain's representative to the contest. This sounds very fishy to me
Rumor has it that she may have solicited financial assistance from her millionaire boyfriend, an
American by the name of Scott Brannon who appeared at the after-party, had a drink, but took off immediately.
She's actually under investigation by a Costa Rican prosecutor regarding a
$175,000 dispute between her Brannon and a lawyer
Brannon has also been the subject of an investigation
by the Costa Rican district attorney for alleged ties to drug cartels and money laundering.
Meanwhile, in other pageant news, Zozibini Tunzi has finally made her first official visit to a foreign country
approximately six weeks after she was crowned Miss Universe
2019. Zozibini flew to Indonesia a few days ago
But her trip is not mentioned anywhere in the official Miss Universe website or in the official Miss Universe Facebook page
We only learned about her trip to Indonesia via her Instagram account
If you follow her on Instagram
Have you noticed how sparse, scarce, and meager her captions are?
compared to past Miss Universe title holders who gave at least a decent idea what activities they were involved in.
I couldn't help but comment on this Instagram photo of her from yesterday
Let's compare this with the Miss World website where it is constantly updated with the reigning Miss World
Toni-Ann Singh's activities
She's currently in South Africa where she visited the Nelson Mandela Museum, went on a safari and having the best time of her life.
By the way, have you noticed that the Miss Universe Facebook page has been littered with throwback postings
mostly from the Trump era?
What's that suggest?
Easy. That the Trump era was far more exciting and fabulous than the IMG era.
IMG knows that their era is boring
So the only way for them to give their social media
active is to attract fans who love the Trump era and it seems to be working
Since Trump era fans are liking the posts and typing away their comments
Miss World 2013 Megan Young and her longtime boyfriend
Mikael Daez finally tied the knot not once but twice
First on January 10 according to Megan's Instagram account and the second on January 25th
according to Mikael's IG account
Both ceremonies were simple and private as only close relatives and friends had been invited
We wish the couple the best of luck
The new Miss South Africa 2019 is Sasha-Lee Olivier. Well, she was actually first runner-up to Zozibini Tunzi
But now that Zozi is the new Miss Universe
She could no longer fulfill her duties as Miss South Africa
So her second placer Sasha-Lee took over the national title and January 15 Sasha-Lee
competed in this world in 2019 where she made the top 40
Rachel Slawson makes pageant history by being the first
openly bisexual woman to be crowned Miss Utah USA on January 18
It was Slawson's fifth attempt to winning the title. I quote "For many years
I tried to be what I thought the world wanted me to be and in the process I hid who I really am.
This year I allowed myself to be fully seen."
says the 25 year-old who has been equally candid about her mental health struggles
Which includes a bipolar disorder diagnosis and suicide attempts.
Born without arms
Mexican model Ana Gabriela Molina wants to challenge traditional perceptions and physical attractiveness
by winning a beauty pageant in her home state of Veracruz

But that she wanted to set an example for others living with a disability

"I managed to overcome everything that has happened to me in my whole life."
Having no arms, she explained, had not stopped her from eating, using a mobile phone, or
riding with her feet all would perfectly manicured and painted toenails.
