1991 was also asian black out!
Another year of asian block out… 1979…2000…. And 2009….
Perhaps it was the long, sleeveless dresses, but the contestants all looked so elegant.
Curioso que solo entraron dos hispanas al top 12 , suramericanas las dos y una de ellas el cetro se llevó el cetro .
This was a historic moment for Belize. Sarita Diana Acosta is still as stunning now as she was 30 years ago.
que querrian decir esos puntajes tan bajos como 7.7, osea que el resto tenia 6 ??
jajaja
yes, I saw Maria Jefrey in Miss Universe 2007 here in Mexico and she had to be in the finalist, she is really beautiful
First and only time Belize made it to semi finals
In 1976 the three countries made the semifinals too
Back in the 70s Argentina had a good performance in MU (Argentina made it in 73 76 77) So it wasn't rare back then….now it's rare to see argentinians making the semifinals, although the are beautiful…and Belize rare then rare now
That scene set collapsed just after the crowning and the broadcast finished.
During six consecutive years Colombia made the top 10 (three times third runner up) but in 1979 Miss Colombia din't make it.
Miss Bermuda went on to win miss world 1979
I love that music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ojalá colocaran el desfile en traje de baño…me gustaría verlo =D.
