~ Adulating Diana Hayden ~
It's about Diana. Not just any Diana, but the one who won the Miss World 1997 crown. It’s hard not to recognize the long lustrous hair, the porcelain skin and the eyes like obsidian, deep pools of liquid darkness that give us a new fancy of Indian beauty.

It’s now time to cast your vote for Miss World 2003's "Worst in Gown".....



_ __ Miss Turkey, Kadriye Tugba Karaca - Honey, you're not in a circus! She has what it takes to be a semifinalist but her chances were ruined when she hit the stage in a feathery black gown. Azra's successor plays a peek-a-boo in her very overdone slit.

_ __ Miss Nepal, Priti Situala - It looks like she's on an ancient road to Queen Elizabeth's palace. Why she wants to blend into the 18th-century imperial wallpaper is beyond us. Her dress with gold ornamentations summed up to a matronly ensemble.

_ _ _Miss Uruguay, Natalia Rodriguez Lassiy - The multi-colored gown she donned looks gaudy for the event. She appeared down and out with her outdated duster.




__ _ Miss China, Guan Qi- Her "Chinese curtain" number and cluttered hairstyle took her to a fashion tumble during the evening but thanks to her fellows for the back-up.

_ __ Miss Denmark, Maj Buchholtz Petersen - This blond opted for a plain yellow ballgown with white crinoline petticoat from a fashion-line victimizer.

_ _ _Miss Georgia, Irina Onashvili - She keeps things flamboyant in her ala Moulin Rouge gown but her authority on the runaway was surprisingly condescending to the suitable way of carrying it. Perhaps she only wanted to show off her gentler side beyond her bizarre attire.

__ _ In this year’s edition of Miss World, the top 5 delegates were the only ones given the opportunity to be interviewed. We were able to see their distinctions upon hearing them speak up their hearts and minds. At this point, it’s up to you to decide on who’s fairest or dreariest in interview.

_ __ Miss Ireland, Rosanna Davidson took authority by delivering a very assertive response. It seems she already had a strong feeling that the title will be hers. Canada's Nazanin Afshin-Jam gave a polished and heartfelt answer which somehow appeared dramatic. Miss China, Guan Qi showed wit to the ecstatic audience. The response of India's Ami Vashi was long-winded and "overcooked." The Philippines’ Maria Rafaela Yunon gave the impression of being cool, calm and collected yet administered an impenetrable line.
