Miss World 2013 nixes bikinis | The Times of Israel

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Miss World has axed the famed bikinis from this year’s pageant in Indonesia, replacing the skimpy swimsuits with conservative beach sarongs amid mounting protests from hard-line Muslim groups, organizers said Thursday.

All of the more than 130 contestants will be required to wear Bali’s traditional long sarongs instead of the sexy bikinis that are historically part of the competition, said Adjie S. Soeratmadjie of the RCTI, the official broadcaster and local organizer.

Parts of the pageant will take place on the resort island of Bali and the final round will be held September 28 near the capital, Jakarta. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim country.

“There will no bikini in this year’s Miss World pageant to respect our traditional customs and values,” Soeratmadjie said, adding that the London-based Miss World Organization is on board with the decision.

“This is a sensitive issue in Indonesia. We have discussed it since last year and they have agreed,” he said.

The chairwoman of the Miss World Organization, Julia Morley, confirmed that none of the 137 contestants would wear a bikini.

“Indonesia is designing for us a very beautiful one-piece beachwear, and I’m very happy with them,” she told The Associated Press by phone from London, adding that the pageant will include a special beachwear fashion show.

“I don’t think Indonesia is the only country that has that culture,” Morley said. “But we like to work in the manner respectful to every country, and I cannot see why when you go to somebody’s country you should not behave respectfully.”

The pageant began in the 1950s, and the first winner was crowned in a two-piece bathing suit.

Soeratmadjie said the sarong would be made creatively and designed specifically for the event.

Controversy over the pageant has been mounting in Indonesia, which has a reputation as a tolerant, pluralist society that respects freedom of expression.

Clerics of the Indonesian Council of Ulema, or MUI, said they would send a letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to demand that the beauty pageant be canceled.

“That contest is just an excuse to show women’s body parts that should remain covered,” said Mukri Aji, a prominent cleric from West Java province’s MUI branch. “It’s against Islamic teachings.”

Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, a hard-line Islamic group, said it planned to stage a protest and called for the competition to be moved elsewhere.

Most Muslims in Indonesia, a secular country of 240 million people, are moderate, but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.

They have pushed through controversial laws — including an anti-pornography bill — and have been known to attack anything perceived as blasphemous, from transvestites and bars to “deviant” religious sects.

Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her sold-out concert in Indonesia in May following threats by Islamic hard-liners, who called her a “devil worshipper.” Jennifer Lopez toned down her sexy outfits and dance moves during a show in Jakarta last December.

Miss Philippines contestant Megan Young was crowned Miss World 2013 in Bali on Saturday, winning the title following weeks of controversy. The 23-year-old, US-born winner moved to the Philippines at age 10, and she beat 126 other contestants before promising to be "the best Miss World ever." Miss France Marine Lorphelin was the pageant's first runner-up, with Miss Ghana Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter as the second runner-up.

Miss World, the longest-running international beauty pageant, was originally supposed to take place in Jakarta, Indonesia, but protests from a conservative Muslim group triggered a last-minute change of location. Calling it a "whore contest," some Muslims in Indonesia — the world's most populous Muslim country — highlighted the swimsuit portion as particularly offensive, so pageant organizers requested that this year's Miss World contestants trade swimsuits for beachwear. Take a look at some of the best photos from the 2013 pageant.

(CNN) -- A new Miss World was crowned Saturday, and though she competed as Miss Philippines, she hails from the United States.

Megan Young, 23, an aspiring filmmaker, took the top honor at the competition, held in Bali, Indonesia.

"No words! Thank you so much for everyone for choosing me. I promise to be the best Miss World ever," Young said.

Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, and Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, were second and third runners up, respectively.

Young was born in the United States and moved to the Philippines at age 10, according to her biography.

The new Miss World is a college student who has appeared on screen as an actress and presenter since she was 15.

Young wants to move behind the camera and become a director, according to her bio.

Miss World's 127 contestants competed in beach fashion, fitness, world fashion, talent and "Beauty with a Purpose" meant to honor charitable work. The top 10 models -- from Ukraine, South Sudan, Brazil, the Philippines, France, Cameroon, Cyprus, England, Italy and the United States -- were announced earlier this week.

Protesters in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, denounced the event.

In an attempt to appease religious concerns, the pageant scrapped the swimsuit competition and replaced it with less-revealing beachwear attire.

Also, the finals were originally to be held on the outskirts of Jakarta, but protesters forced the event to relocate to the Hindu resort island of Bali.

CNN's Neda Farshbaf, Mary Primiano, Kathy Quiano and Madison Park contributed to this report.

Miss World 2013 Winner: Megan Young, Miss Philippines, Wins The ...

Miss Philippines, Megan Young, was crowned the winner of Saturday night's 2013 Miss World pageant at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Centre in Indonesia.

"I promise to be the best Miss World ever," the 23-year-old said as she was crowned by last year's winner, Wenxia Yu.

Young, who was born in the United States, beat out 126 other women vying for the crown in the 63rd annual pageant. The brunette beauty moved to the Philippines when she was 10 years old and has been living there since, working as an actress and television host.

Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, 20, placed second and 22-year-old Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, came in third.

The 2013 Miss World pageant was initially slated to be held in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, but was moved to the resort island of Bali amid security concerns.

Police said there were no demonstrations or protests during the pageant, where security was heightened in fear of an attack.

Leading up the pageant, the Islamic Defenders' Front staged protests over the revealing (in their opinion) clothing worn during Miss World pageants. Islamic protesters denounced the pageant, calling it insulting to have women wearing bikinis and form-fitting evening attire in Indonesia, the most populous mostly Muslim nation in the world.

The Jakarta Post said groups were calling for the government to completely shut down the competition, but instead, moved it to Bali three weeks ago.

Miss Philippines crowned Miss World 2013 - World News | TVNZ

Published: 6:03AM Sunday September 29, 2013 Source: Reuters

Miss Philippines was crowned Miss World 2013 at a tightly guarded ceremony in Bali, Indonesia, after the contest was plagued by protests from Muslim hardliners and fears that extremist groups could try to disrupt the event.

US-born Megan Young, a 23-year-old studying digital film, accepted the crown from last year's winner, Wenxia Yu of China, and promised to "be the best Miss World ever".

Thousands of members of the radical Islam Defenders Front took to the streets over the past month to protest holding the pageant in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, calling it "pornography".

The protests forced organisers to move the event from a venue outside Jakarta to Nusa Dua in southern Bali, a predominantly Hindu resort island.

Event organisers announced in June that contestants would eschew bikinis this year in favour of sarongs and one-piece swimwear to avoid causing offence.

The embassies of the United States, Britain and Australia issued travel warnings for Indonesia, saying extremist groups could be planning violence to disrupt the pageant.

However, Indonesian police said there were no reports of unrest surrounding the contest on Saturday.

The new Miss World will spend the next year travelling to represent the Miss World Organization and help raise money for its charitable causes.

Marine Lorphelin, a 20-year-old medical student from France, took second place. From Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, 23, also a medical student, came third.

Nick Verreos: SASHES AND TIARAS.....Miss Venezuela World 2013 ...

Miss Venezuela Mundo 2013: The new "Miss Venezuela World 2013" Karen Soto

This past Saturday, August 10, at the same time the "Miss Teen USA 2013" finals were happening in the Bahamas, another big beauty pageant was occurring in Caracas Venezuela: The "Miss Venezuela World 2013". The winner was dark haired, green-eyed beauty Karen Andrea Soto Lugo. She's 21 years old , stands 1.79 m (about 5' 10") tall, and hails from Maracaibo in the State of Zulia.

Crowning Moment: "Miss Venezuela World 2013" Karen Soto being crowned by "Miss Venezuela Mundo 2011" (and last year's "Miss World" Venezuelan representative) Gabriella Ferrari

Miss Venezuela Organization Director and "Beauty Czar" Osmel Sosa (top photo)and the "Miss Venezuela Mundo 2013" stage, Venevisión Estudio 1 Caracas (bottom photo)

For years now, the "Miss Venezuela" pageant would send its winner to the "Miss Universe" pageant while the First Runner-Up would go on to the "Miss World". The latter would be given a separate sash, crown and be given the "Miss Venezuela Mundo (World)" title. That stopped last year when it was announced that a "Miss World" representative would not be crowned and a separate pageant would occur--at the supposed request of the Miss World Organization and it's President Julia Morley. And so the Miss Venezuela Director and "El Czar de la Belleza" (The Beauty Czar) Osmel Sousa put together an entirely separate pageant to crown it's "Miss Venezuela Mundo 2013".

Top Three: (Left to right) Second Runner-up Andrea Carolina Escobar Colombo, the new "Miss Venezuela World 2013" Karen Andrea Soto Lugo, and First Runner-up Yulibeth Jazmil Angarita Serrano

The final pageant had 12 contestants representing various Venezuelan States and/or Departments. The winner was crowned by the outgoing "Miss Venezuela Mundo 2011" Gabriella Ferrari. Venezuela has won SIX times in its 62 year history, more than any country. India comes in second. The last "Miss Venezuela" to win "Miss World" was only 2 years ago in 2011 with Ivian Sarcos.

Karen Soto "Miss World Top Model 2011" in Lebanon

Now, getting back to this year's winner: Karen is no stranger to the pageant world, she won the "Miss World Top Model 2011" competition in Lebanon (above photos) as well as competed in the "Miss Venezuela 2010" pageant representing "Costa Oriental" where she was a semi-finalist:

Karen Soto "Miss Costa Oriental 2010", Miss Venezuela 2010 Pageant

The Evening Gown portion of Saturday night's "Miss Venezuela World 2013" pageant interestingly enough featured all 12 contestants IN THE SAME GOWN. This is, of course, a departure from what has come to be a MAJOR HIGHLIGHT of the "regular" Miss Venezuela pageant--the fabulous couture-worthy evening gowns created by the top Venezuelan fashion designers and modeled by the contestants. Well, this didn't happen at the "Miss Venezuela World 2013". My guess is that they were under budget or time constraints possibly. Just my guess.

Pics of the (Same) Gowns:

Golden Gown: Karen Soto "Miss Zulia", "Miss Venezuela World 2013" Pageant, Evening Gown portion--Karen, and all the other contestants, wore identical golden yellow gowns with lace overlay, sheer illusion netting sleeves and applique detail top and sleeve cuff details. It was a bit "old school" and nearing on "Mother-of-the-Bride" for me. I was disappointed with this gown as the one that EVERY girl had to wear. But, when all the contestants were on stage in the gowns, they didn't look so bad:

Meet Miss World Japan 2013 Hopefuls BEAUTY PAGEANT NEWS

Meet the 19 Miss World Japan 2013 finalists who will be vying for the right to represent the country in Miss World 2013

The Miss World Japan is now under a new franchise holder, Koo International Co.,Ltd. This is the very first year that a separate Miss World Japan will be chosen after the International Culture Association, organizer of Miss International, lost their license to send Japanese representative to Miss World in late 2012. So, Koo International Co.,Ltd. is managing this year’s pageant, and will be in-charge for the selection of Miss World Japan 2013 to the international competition in Indonesia this September.

From more than 6,500 applicants to become a finalist at Miss World Japan, just 20 passed the two screening tests. However, there are only 19 finalists on the Miss World Japan website. The 20th has probably backed out. They are: Kaori Ikemoto, Maki Ishizuka, Mai Itagaki, Maiko Inada, Yuri Uchida, Asuka Udono, Hikaru Kawai, Mai Kuramochi, Mariko Kuroshima, Tomomi Kondo, Emiri Shimizu, Iori Tazaki, Michiko Tanaka, Sakura Numata, Ruri Nomura, VANRI, Kiyomi Morita, Minako Yamada, Mayumi Yourou.

Let’s wait and see who will be crowned Miss World Japan 2013 by the outgoing queen Miss World Japan 2012 Nozomi Igarashi.

In order to secure a large following, the Miss World Japan management decided to use the internet fan vote to partly determine who shall be chosen as the winner. This is not just about the beauty of the face and body, so not only these online votes but also the personal interview scores will determine the winners.

However, the internet vote factor is very important because the winner will represent the organization. Voting ended on July 18th and the results will be announced soon.

Photos and information of some Miss World Japan 2013 Finalists:

Update:

However, according to L. beauty Press, there has been rumor that The Miss World Committee Won’t Allow Rina Chibany to Enter Pageant. It seems that the Miss World Committee is opposed to Rina’s participation in Miss World 2013 to be held in September, especially after they learned of her identical twin sister Romy’s entry into the pageant, which is rule breaking to them.

Furthermore, the committee of Miss World has disapproved the involvement of MP Faddy Abboud’s in negotiations, as they have informed the former Minister of Tourism Nicolas Fattoush years ago that they were not satisfied by the intervention of any official bodies in any correspondence with her being a trading company and not a government institution – Obviously, MP Abboud has created even more obstacles for Rina, who did not expect such a disappointment.

Will the 2nd runner-up, Christelle Loutfi, take over?
