Miss International Queen 2010

[El_hefe]

Can't argue with the winners, esp. Korea & Japan..... but as someone mentioned Miss Canada was absolutely beautiful too!

Thanks for the pics and great reporting rx and others.

The girls look absolutely stunning - I also like your tall Canadian representative, as well as Misses Japan, PI, France......

Saw a video on You Tube of a few of the girls at the beach and then eating at a food court and the camera kept finding the eventual winner, Mini from Korea. She might not be the prettiest but definitely has lots of pizazz and personality.

Funny to see Sunny Delight up there - you're correct, she organizes TG events in NYC. I met her in 08 or 09 and at the time she told me she was going to compete in MIQ, so I'm glad she got to make the trip.

I actually landed in Bangkok on the 18th and was tempted to go down to Pattaya for MIQ, but decided to leave it for another time when I could be there for the entire week's festivities. And I definitely would want to organize my own panel of judges as an escort party as many of you guys did. That's always nice.....

crackerjax - yes, going to a contest with your own special panel makes the experience a lot better! Your idea of turning up for the full week of activities is a good one - get to see the ladies a lot more, and many of the activities are free to public, you just need to stay out of the way of the pro photographers and videographers.

Some more photos, and continued thanks to those contributing to this thread!

Hey rx, it was Post 42, 1st pic (link here).

Thanks Jake, looks like it was an after the fact shot, will have to see if it shows up on video.

Now on to more swim suits!

No. 9, Mini from Korea. She impressed my panel at this point, they all said Suay mak! So confident!

I must apologize for some of the white distractions in the shots. I had an over enthusiastic Japanese fan on my right who was waving a banner for her favorites, and got into a few of the shots.
