Miss Tiffany Universe 2007

[Guest]

The top 3 girls looked lovely, and the winner a good choice, at least on TV.

I can't imagine the emotion there. They are born male, likely have some tough times transitioning, go through life, and then get chosen as a beauty queen, globally recognized. That would be some psychology study.

I thought the winner was a good choice, though some others that didn't make top 10 I might have liked better. So is the winner the one who was a lock to win?

To watch Channel 7 on the web, you have to register. Unfortunately I could not figure it out before the end of the contest.

Ziggy, if you are referring to Erica Andrews, yes, she was bigger than most of the contestants last year, but I would say Mimi Marks MIQ 2005 was a bit more zaftig than Erica.

So, did Film win, Miss Tawanna 2006? This would go along with the "fix" is rumors.

to be honest i dont find the miss tiffany crowd that hot. i prefer the sexy slutty look of the LBs in guess and obsessions and cascades.

[Guest]

Did you know that many of them are very expensive working girls during and after Miss Tiffany's? I mean the winners.

[rxpharm]

Ok, the winner was Film, Miss Tawanna 2006, who was rumored to have the title locked.

Here is a photo of the winner and runners up.

A lovely looking bunch!

Would you know they are LBs from that photo?

They're more beautiful than most ladies in pageants, and while I didn't understand all the Thai, from the audience reaction it seemed their answers to questions were quite strong too. Any translators out there?

Why not a transsexual for premier? Bkk Post


Why not a transsexual for premier?

Pattaya (dpa) - Thanyaras Jiraphatphakorn, after predicting that Thailand may one day have a "lady boy" for prime minister, was crowned the new Miss Tiffany Universe early Saturday morning at the country's oldest transvestite beauty pageant.

Judges awarded the 20-year-old Thanyaras - a Kasetsart University student whose real name is Disanee Jitrapajin - the Miss Tiffany Universe crown based on his "charming lady-like appearance" and "brilliant" answers to their probing questions.

In the intelligence contest, when asked whether its was possible for a "katoey" or "lady boy" to become a politician, Thanyaras answered, "Sure, it is. In the future, there might be prime minister who is a lady boy."

However, he added that much depends on whether Thai society can change their negative views of katoeys.

"Society should judge people by what they do rather than considering what sex they are," opined Thanyaras.

"Today, society sees ladyboys as sinful people. What do think about that?" she asked the audience, which was packed with local and foreign men.

Thanyaras was crowned Miss Tiffany Universe 2007 at 12:30 am Saturday with runners up Pharavee "Bell" Chatpakorn, 18, and Pimchanok Hongsopa, 21, both of them college students.

"The contest this year was most difficult to judge," said Alisa Phanthusak, assistant managing director of Tiffany's Show Pattaya Company, the organiser of the event. "I think she (Thanyaras) won because she answered questions very well and most people thought she was the cutest girl and her eyes look like those of real woman."

The pageant was an outgrowth from the nightly Tiffany Show in Pattaya, a Thai beach resort situated 90 kilometres east of Bangkok that is best known for its swinging night life.

The Miss Tiffany Universe contest was launched in 1998 in tandem with the government's "Amazing Thailand Year," a publicity campaign that emphasised the country's unique tourist attractions.


I can see why her answer generated a lot of applause!

I think one of the three finalists, last night, was a girl from Casanova. Maybe she is no longer working there now?

I was under the impression that all contestants had to be pre-op?

[rxpharm]

There is no stipulation in the Miss Tiffany or Miss Alcazar contest that participants must be preop. There is a mix of pre and postops contestants. Not sure about the other part of your question though.

"Today, society sees ladyboys as sinful people. What do think about that?"

Sometime ago a ladyboy that I got to know quite well used to make similar sort of comments.   It intrigued me so I set out to discover why.

Apparently in the Budhist religion to be reincarnated as a ladyboy is seen as a puishment for adultery in a previous life.

Seeing how prevalent keeping 'small wives' (mistresses) is amongst the better off in Thailand  -  maybe that explains the seemingly large numbers of ladyboys

RR, I have heard that too, what does your gf think about that? It is not just related to being adulterous but also abusive - at least that is what my ex-gf told me.

Anyway, some more photos from the contest - interesting preliminary events, I think they had over 100 applicants as mentioned by diablo80, then whittled this down to 30 for the finals night.



















Ok, now a few from the finals night:

I couldn't figure out: does the new MTU have breast implants? I did see a brief glimpse of her left nipple, though.
