You Had Me At こんにちわ (konnichiwa)

A few days ago, Manolo posted a few pictures from the 'parade of nations' preliminary competition of the upcoming Miss Universe (live at 9pm EST on both NBC and Telemundo this Sunday July 23rd).

I have to root for Miss Japan, afterall, she's from Okinawa, she's multi-lingual, and she seemed to think that the outfit below was perfectly acceptable and a good idea (she probably has a future in Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure) videos)


They seem to be making a push to intergrate some of the activities with the web, they have vlogs for some of the contestants and you can vote for Miss Photogenic at the NBC site, I picked Miss Japan, Miss Lebanon, and Miss Israel. This other thing creeps me out, you can send contestants flowers, that seems like an invitation for creepy stalkerish guys to develop even more intense fantasies.
