You mean May 28th, right?

This year's competition sounds interesting. Sweden withdrew because of feminist pressures from her country. Mexico had to change her national costume because her original one had a bullet-ridden section and depicted scenes of violence from an important event in Mexico's history. I think another contestant had a weapon as part of her costume, so that created some controversy.

Also, I think I read that this year's competition has the first Rastaferian (sp?) and first completely bald/shaved contestants?

Millions and millions of people watch this particular contest and I'm really glad that contestants and their teams are stirring it up more and more! I wish there was a version for men, too.

Thanks for the reminder! I really love the national costumes the most. Unfortunately, I'm not too impressed with Puerto Rico's candidate, but why am I complaining, we had Zuleyka.

Can somebody post Miss Denmark, Sweden, and Norway please?

I actually prefer the old one, she could've at least kept the bullet belt.

No Sweden, as elytrae above mentioned, she's out of the competition.

^ Oh ok, thanks!

I am in shock that neither Denmark nor Norway are blondes this year.

Miss Universe 2007: Miss Sweden drops out amid criticism

Miss Sweden 2007, Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, dropped out Miss Universe 2007 pageant because of a change of heart among Swedes who think that the competition is degrading to women.
Miss Universe organizers dispute Swedes point of view by saying that the contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and cultured.
"With each passing year our ratings continue to get better because of the beautiful and intelligent women who participate in our competitions," Miss Universe co-owner Donald Trump said.
Isabel Lestapier Winqvist was crowned Miss Sweden on April 21, by her precursor, Josephine Alhanko, who was semi-finalist at the Miss Universe 2006 pageant, held in Hollywood.
"We will miss Miss Sweden." was the laconic comment of Miss Universe organizers, Miss Sweden contest organizer Panos Papadopoulos said.
