Dayana Mendoza of Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe 2008 today at Vietnam, host of this year's most prestigious beauty pageant.
Miss Venezuela, 22, was once kidnapped in her homeland and says the experience taught her to remain poised under pressure.
During her interview with the judges, Mendoza was asked who she thought has it easier in life, women or men. "God made us to share and have differences," she replied, then highlighted what she regards as the different thought processes of men and women. "Men think that the faster way to go to a point is to go straight," she said. "Women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the curves."
Miss Colombia finished second behind Mendoza, followed by Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Russia and Miss Mexico.
Miss Philippines did not make it to top ten.
.... I watched the pageant (through ABS-CBN) at the CBA Faculty Room. Miss Venezuela is beautiful and she is GLOWING. I find Miss Mexico beautiful, too. But then, Miss U is not just about physical beauty. Miss USA looked so mature. I like her, although she seems far from the others. It's obvious that she's older. Hehe. I don't know how Miss Russia even got to be in Top 10. She's got the worst hair and lips. Again, beauty alone does not define beauty queens.
