This is the fifth time that Sanya has hosted the Miss World final (130 countries) and it has become a spiritual home of sorts for the organization. But actually it appeared to be perfection in the Natural beauties in the lobby and grounds of the Crowne Plaza hotel, Sanya, Hainan province for Garden of Eden today at the 60th Miss World contest.
They were joined by past winners of the contest, ranging from France’s 1953 Miss World Denise Perrier Lanfranchi, to the 2008 winner, Russia’s Ksenia Sukhinova – who will join the judges.
At the front of house, the world’s media was desperate for access to the hottest totty in the known universe.
All that was on offer for them to interview on the morning of the contest, however, were three of the performers for the evening show. These included UK X-factor’s Shayne Ward, and Puerto Rican opera singer Carlos Aponte. The third performer tonight, saxophonist Dave Koz said he was in a constant state of arrival after touching down in Sanya.
Behind the scenes, Miss World 2007, China’s Zhang Zilin (张梓琳), was found walking around the grounds, arm-in-arm with Agbani Darego, Miss Nigeria’s world champion in 2001.
Were they really good friends?
“Sure, we keep in touch by e-mail and see each other when we can,” Zilin replied.
“Miss Worlds are a select club,” Agbani added. “It really is like a big family and it’s great to be asked back to judge.”
The pair emphasized that external appearance isn’t everything in the “Beauty with a Purpose” contest.
“It’s the inner beauty that counts,” Zilin said, revealing that the judges “actually get to know the girls beforehand.”
The night of the contest is important but actually some of the decisions have already been made.
The Miss World road show has been traveling China for the past month, visiting Beijing, Shanghai and Ordos in Inner Mongolia.
