Miss World 2008 contest More than 100 of the world's most beautiful women competed this year's Miss World pageant. The winner was Miss Russia Kseniya Sukhinova, a blonde from the snows of Siberia. Before the judging, she and the other 108 contestants had a month travelling in the host country, South Africa, with some decidedly unglamorous moments on safari. During the final two-hour show, the beauties paraded on stage in gowns created by South African and Jamaican designers. This year's event had a special focus on song, dance and music. South Africa hopes the pageant, that was broadcast in 180 countries to an estimated one billion viewers, will help overcome Johannesburg's reputation for crime and promote the city as a tourist spot. Since the pageant began in 1951, it's been held in South Africa eight times. Julia Morley, head of the Miss World committee that organises the event, says the pageant serves a charitable purpose. "Over the years the crown that is worn by the winner is a symbol for fundraising." i will post some other contestant photos later..hehe,, stay tune.. http://entertainment.my.msn.com/features/photogallery.aspx?cp-documentid=1837734

so which women attracts you the most?? perhaps some og the photos can be posted inside the eye candy thread.
I didn't watch the competition. Among the pictures you have posted, I would have chosen Miss Russia (Champion), Malaysia (1st runner up) and Portugal (2nd runner-up) also if I was the judge.
here u go.... I think Miss Russia is wearing too much mascara and it's too dark and clashes with her blond hair. Too much enhancing makeup, she looks like a manequin. .
That's only to be expected at pageants like this. After all, these are for the benefit of the cosmetics industry
