It all comes down to beauty at the Miss International Beauty Pageant

After the Miss Macau beauty pageant, make way for the next queen to be crowned at the 48th Miss International Beauty Pageant which will be held on November 8 at the Venetian Macao.
A total of 63 beautiful young ladies from different countries will try to stand out from each other by using looks, skills and intelligence. The contestants from all over the world will be competing for the title of the 48th Miss International Beauty Pageant winner, 1st runner up, and 2nd runner up.

All of these 63 women have their eyes on the same goal, Miss Priscila Perales' crown. The Mexican Miss International Beauty won last years contest and for the whole past year has travelled around the world spreading beauty and grace thanks to the the 47th Miss International title. In her own words: “I've learned to be a public relations person, to talk and know different people and different cultures, to spread my wings” and for this she feels blessed. The 63 girls were presented to the media during a press conference yesterday where they unveiled the traditionally inspired costumes they'll be wearing at the event. Some of them looked more traditional than others and again some of them looked more flashy than others, but they all had one thing in common: they were all being shown off with smiley, happy faces, just like a pageant should be.

Formally called “The International Beauty Pageant” this event originated in Long Beach, California, USA, in 1960. Since then it has been held in Japan over several years and after a quick return to Long Beach the contest has become a multi-national event recognised as the “Beauty Olympics”.

Miss International Beauty Pageant is one of the top three international beauty pageants in the world. It is more than just 63 beautiful women gathering as contestants from “different ethnicities, who speak different languages, with various religious, traditions and cultural backgrounds”, as the Executive Director of International Cultural Association, and pageant owner, Mr Hirofumi Hashimoto said.

Until the show begins next Saturday, the 63 women will have a full agenda over the next few days. Today, they'll be paying a charity visit to the Fo Hung Society of Macau. The students from the society will welcome contestants with a Portuguese dance, before a small tour inside the centre and a handcraft demonstration of recycled materials. After this, and once more the women will be faced with another marathon of photographs from the media. But that's the effort you have to put in when the dream is to be part of the exclusive club of the most beautiful and talented women on earth.
