BOOT CAMP INES

JAPAN TODAY, 24-Feb-2010: The final 11 Miss Universe Japan contestants have kicked off a two-week beauty camp at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa, where the ladies will stay together and refine their techniques before the winner is announced on March 9.

Three of the sexy ladies, Chie Ishii, 22, Moeko Fukuda, 22, and Maiko Itai, 25, attended a press conference with Ines Ligron, who has been national director of Miss Universe Japan since being appointed to the position by Donald Trump in 1998.

Ligron said: “What I want most from the girls during the next two weeks is for them to have a good think about who they are and how they are going to convey that to the world.”

She added: “This year we’re looking for a girl who can express herself clearly and embodies Japan. Until now, we’ve put forward a strong and even shocking image to counter the one the world has of Japanese girls being shy and weak. We’re going to change our approach this year, putting forward a more traditional image and one of a smart, pure and sophisticated young woman. I want her to show off her Japaneseness as much as possible, so I’d like to see her in a kimono at some point.”

E DIFICIL SER MODESTO...

Yes, there is almost complete unanimity among the Beauty School faculty and staff - from Dean Harris and Prof. Chandni, of course, but also from Beloved Libraian Lorraine, Prof. Scribner, Hedda Hunter, etc. - that it is difficult to be modest when you are Brazilian. Beauty School Security Guard/Body Guard Boris disagrees. He is lobbying hard to have Miss Universe 2010 in Croatia. Meanwhile, Beauty School Brazilian exchange student Eduardo Pires (and Mister Pará 2008) is lobbying hard to have Miss Universe 2010 in Brazil.


Eduardo is an expert practitioner of capoeira. He said he will go all ju-jitsu on the Miss Universe Organization if they don't pick Brazil as the sede for Miss Universe 2010.

HAIR AND MAKEUP

At Mister Luxembourg 2009

Beloved Beauty School Librarian, Lorraine, who is also an expert hair and makeup artist/advisor, took all of the pix posted here. The reason why Beauty School's Library is closed all the time is that Lorraine is always invited to these contests - she provides her services pro bono, so she is very much in demand, even if she tends to give the women contestants a bouffant and she tends to pinch the butts of the men contestants (Lorraine says that you can bounce a dime off of Mister Luxembourg 2009's butt!).

On the movie set with Bollywood star and Miss Universe 1994, Sushmita Sen. Lorraine is holding Sush's makeup mirror. Lorraine travels frequently to Bollywood to do Sush's and Ash's hair and makeup.

Damaging the ozone layer at Miss Arab 2009. Lorraine's hair and makeup services are ecumenical in nature. "Well, the Hindus say 'There is more than one path to God,' and I say, "There is more than one path to good hair and makeup," states Lorraine about her inter-faith services, but "all paths do require the use of hairspray."


At Thailand's Jumbo Queen 2009 contest. Lorraine's contract with the Jumbo Queen pageant stipulates that Lorraine cannot ever appear in the same photo with the Jumbo Queen or Jumbo Queen contestants.

The new Mister Spain 2009, Guillermo Garcia, gets a touch up, from one of Lorraine's gay Spanish buddies. You can't see her, but Lorraine is standing behind Guillermo, pinching his cute butt.

MR. GAY WORLD 2010

South Africa's Charl Van den Berg, 28, who runs a restaurant in Cape Town, is the new Mr. Gay World 2010. He won the 2nd annual title tonite in Norway, at an Oslo nightclub. The runners-up were Australia, Hong Kong, China, and Spain. Australia's Byron Adu, 25, was first runner-up. Hong Kong's Rick Dean Twombley, 33, was second runner-up. Third runner-up was China's Xiaodai Muyi, 26. Spain's Sergio Lara, 26, was fourth runner-up.

BEIJOS BRASILEIROS

Marcus, 23 and 1m90, will be taking more kisses from noon to 2:00pm today at Cafe Zulu. Dean Harris will give the first kiss, of course! "XXOO," says Dean Harris to Marcus!
