BEAUTIES INVADE JOHANNESBURG If you were at OR Tambo International on Saturday you are forgiven for thinking that you had suddenly been transported to red-blooded-male-paradise. 113 of the 120 contestants in the 2009 Miss World pageant arrived in South Africa on Saturday and OR Tambo and transformed the airport into something akin to Hollywood. Or the Playboy mansion on a respectable day.

The pageant will be staged in at Gallagher Estate - for the second consecutive year – on December 12.

Miss World is cited as the benchmark for beauty across cultures.

To date the most titles awarded to a country are India and Venezuela (5); United Kingdom (4); Iceland, Jamaica and Sweden (3) and South Africa joining seven other countries who have won the title twice.

Also amongst the bevy of beauties is Miss World 2008, Russia’s Kseniya Sukhinova.

 

Good luck to South Africa’s Tatum Lucy Keshwar. No matter the outcome, we think she is yummie!

The City of Gold will be hosting this spectacle for the second year running and will be showcasing its charms as well as those of the 113 represented countries.

The contestants have a busy month-long schedule before the finale. Jozi residents will be able to get a good look at the gorgeous contestants when they pay visits to various events across the city including trips to Soweto and Soccer City as well as the Johannesburg Zoo for the Miss World Children’s Christmas Party.

An extensive nationwide tour is also included in their itenary.
