Interesting…

A few people send me these 2 pictures…. This is Miss China (currently competiting at Miss Universe) with her National Director with one of the prelimary judges Alvaro Garnero. Hum… Is this okay?!

It is totally fair that one of the delegate meets with one of tthe judges before a competition?… I wonder how this happened…. I smell a scandal soon after if she wins. Too bad because she is gorgeous and actually physically the most outstanding delegate this year. The risk of a scandal should have been avoided, because many people have invested so much energy, hope, expectation and money in it.

What happened when people loose integrity when competing? Also why is she having the official hair dresser and make-up artists, the walking superviser taking care of her and only compared to the other girls (execpt for Ukraine, Albania and Kosovo)?

Proud to be the National Directors voice over here….

Good job Maria! Everyone says that you might win the Miss Congenuality price becsuse of your genki-fun-sweet personality. This is the best news! Well done!

Aim for the top you will get to the stars, you look beautiful.

VIETNAM & JAPAN

JAPAN & CHINA

JAPAN & SPAIN

LEBANON & JAPAN

ASIA POWER!

EAST MEETS WEST

Ps: I did not prepare Miss Japan this year and actually  I have never met her…. Japan is in my heart and will always be, also I am automatically her biggest fan!

Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is.

Go Japan!  Go Maria!

Dear Ines,     

Thank you for sharing a video about cleft palate. I believe lots of people will start thinking about donation thanks to you!!:) My 4 year-old daughter was born with cleft palate. I really hope that kids with cleft palate all over the world get a oppotunity to take a surgery and smile everyday… My daughter had a surgery for cleft palate and 4 times surgery for her ear tubes so far. She is a healthy, active funny girl now!

I’m a huge fan of you, by the way:) I’m a Japanese but I live in Washington state, USA now. I asked my family to send me your books and now my daughter is a big fan of you ,too!! She just read your book before going to bed. I enjoyed reading the book with my baby. I feel really happy to share great books with my baby.

Thank you everything Ines. You changed me alot. And my daughter also will learn a lot from you:)

Yuki

Dear Yuki,

thank you for writing. I am glad to hear that I have a positive influence in your life, this is my goal, to motivate little girls to become strong women and to empower people in their life. The next generation of women are bombarded with so much pressure from the media and their peers. More than ever before, they need positive messages from healthy role models. Remember YOU are her most influential one!

Please forward this message to your daughter for me:

“You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are, because beauty comes from the inside. That she is beautiful. That she is important and worthy, and that she needs to safeguard herself from the messages that are out there. That our society, for the most part, when it deals with or talks about woman’s bodies is wrong. That you don’t have to be a size zero. You don’t have to look like a ‘Gossip Girl’ to be beautiful. That you don’t have to be like one of these bone-skinny actresses. You can be, if that’s how you naturally are, but you don’t have to strive for that.

What you need to fatten is your brain with as much as information as possible.  Because you will have opinions and if you have opinions you will have power.” Believe in yourself and be good to others. I would like to meet you in 10 years when you will be 14 years old, and meet the pretty and dazzling young woman that you will be!”

Much love, Ines

“C’est pour mieux vous mangez mon enfant!”

Sarah Jessica Parker looked like a modern day version of Little Red Riding Hood in Moscow this weekend. And look at her shoes!! J’adore!

“Sex and the City” star Sarah Jessica Parker has visited Moscow (who said everyone is away in August?) to present her new film “I Don’t Know How She Does It”. Parker gave a 1-hour press conference in the afternoon as part of the promoting tour.

Sarah Jessica Parker wore a red strapless gown from Giambattista Valli’s (French designer favorite by many Hollywood stars) debut haute couture collection, which she teamed with a superhero cape (very on trend for autumn).

I love what she wears! She is so tinny and get accused of being annorexic at the moment in a few tabloids, but she eats, I can tell you because I had diner with her in Tokyo. I testifie!

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is based on the novel by Allison Pearson Parker will be premiered on September 15. It features Pierce Brosnon, Christina Hendricks and Greg Kinnear. Sarah plays  a New York City business woman and mother of two. Should be inspiring for many of us Mother of a few…. let’s go see it!
