Miss Universe pageant 2007- she still made top 5 but I've been watching pageants all my life (and outside the drag bars) have never watched someone fall and bust their ass!

When was this?

Damn! I missed it I can't get into pageants like I used to. As a little girl I used to follow them fairly well, but now I can't remember the last time I actually sat down to watch one.

Girl like 10 mins ago!

OMG- it gets worse! Rachel was called to answer her question and the crowd BOOED her and chanted "GO BACK! GO BACK!"

I flipped it over there and saw that. Classless crowd.....you could barely hear the question being asked. I feel so weird watching it since it's been ages. Venezuela is gorgeous.

I like Japan's dress.....very different from the traditional frou frou sequined dresses.

Well I know Americans aren't popular in the world- but they are bank rolling that country- PEROID!

Anyway- I love me some Mexico!

and Miss Venezuela's gown fit like a glove- not a bit of stretch material! Wasn't off the rack- very structured!

AnckSuNamun said:

YES YES YES I loved her dress!



AND SHE WON!!!!!

CynthiasSocks said:

Yeah, the US-Mexico tension is present now, but it's still no excuse to take it out on a beauty pageant contestant.

CynthiasSocks said:

She was adorable I still don't think I could get back into watch these pageant though.

AnckSuNamun said:

Poor girl- 1st she fell on her ass, then gets BOOED, and then lost!

AnckSuNamun said:

SHHHHHIT!

CynthiasSocks said:

I really can't wait to see this on youtube. I don't care who it is.....I'll never pass up the opportunity to see a contestant fall. Is it really a first?

Can someone post the video please?

AnckSuNamun said:

It is for me! I've been watchin this shit half my life!

So havent missed it, this just started here in the West Coast

CynthiasSocks said:

Poor thing

I think Miss Tanzania was the prettiest.

Aw I only saw it when there were the top 10 and that was on spanish t.v. then I moved on.

Oouch!!!

She recovered well though. It looked like it barely phased her.

Talking about falls, here's Dana International's fall. I guess the trophy was a bit too heavy for her

Yeah, it was like she bounced right back up, as if she was on a trampoline. I'm sure youtube is having a field day with this one.

i was impressed at how she fell directly on her ass and bounced right back up, as if her butt was made of rubber. and the wink/shit-eating grin right after was very Divine circa 'pink flamingos'.

Anxiety said:

Not Divine, I'ma need you to stop. . .

Poor thing, she kept it together though...a weaker woman would have ran off

It was funny to me because she recovered so quickly and played it off so well. (Tyra would be proud.) When no one is hurt, we can laugh and feel little guilt.

I've resolved that if I ever fall in public, I'm gonna make it look as deadly cataclysmic as possible, possibly taking innocent people with me. And I may try to spontaneously bleed and play dead for a few minutes to elicit sympathy and corporate woe over laughter.

Anything to save face.

I just watched it on cnn.com, she recovered well...girlfriend, bounced right back up and kept going.
