" Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
--- BUDDHA

News on Miss Grand International 2013

The first edition of Miss Grand International 2013 was held in Thailand from 3rd of November to 19th of November. Live Streaming of Press Conference, Preliminary Competition and Final Night events were televised from Channel 7 and Youtube channels. 75 beauty pageants came to compete and 4 contestants left during the competition. Miss Ukraine had to go back due to her father's health while Miss Denmark and Miss Sweden left because of the “cultural differences” (according to Miss Sweden’s Facebook status). Miss Singapore also had to resign from the competition after breaking the pageant’s rules and regulations.

Final Coronation Night

The final coronation night was held in Bangkok, Thailand on 19th November 2013. 22-year old Janelee Chaparro from Puerto Rico was crowned on that night. (She also competed in Miss World 2012 and placed Top30, Top 40 Beach Fashion, Top 47 Top Model and Top 10 World Fashion Designer Dress.)

The runner-ups were

In addition to 1RU, she won "Best in Evening Gown" award and placed Top20 Best in Swimsuit. ( She is also a crossover from Miss Supranational 2012 where she placed Top20, and Miss Global Team International placing 4RU & Caribbean Queen)






~ 2RU: Denisa Paseciakova from Slovak Republic .
I noticed her only on the final night and she was amazingly gorgeous in her black gown. She also placed Top10 "Best in Evening Gown" and Top20 "Best in Swimsuit". (She is a crossover from Miss Tourism Queen International 2013 where she won Miss Bikini of the world.)

Congratulations to all winners. The news for Miss Grand International 2013 ends here. However, as a bonus, I would like to give some more information about our Miss Myanmar. ;)
+ + + + + + + + + +

She is a beautiful Arakan (Rakhine ethic) girl with an attractive face. Needless to say she has a great body as she is a gymnastic girl. She played acrobatics since she was 6 and played it for 10 years. After that, due to her health problem, she stopped playing it and working as an acrobatics instructor for children. She is also a BE (IT) holder as well. Among MM misses who went for international competition, her catwalk is the best and I find her really great. It would be better if she is bolder than this and a little bit taller. :)

In my opinion, Nang Khin Zay Yar (Miss Myanmar International 2013) has the best personality so far. But, among all Myanmar misses, I find Htar Htet Htet is the best. She has beauty pageant material. She's the very first Myanmar Miss that I gave so much time to support. I have hoped that she would be in Top10 semi, but, she ended up with Top20.

Whatever it is, without the help of Internet votes, Htar Htet Htet is the first Miss Myanmar who could go into quarter finalist at an international competition.
( Khin Wint Wah got Miss Internet and this brought her into quarter finalist at Miss Supranational 2013 (Top20 = Top19 + Miss Internet), the owner of Supra org nevertheless said KWW would be in even if she didn't get Miss Internet. However, there is no official news for that.)

Below are a few photos of Htar Htet Htet during Miss Grand International 2013 competition activities.
