Vietnam may not join Miss World, Miss Universe 2009
Elite Vietnam refused to buy copyright to send Vietnamese candidates to the Miss World, Miss Universe 2009 pageants. It means that Vietnam may miss the two big beauty contests this year.

Elite Vietnam Managing Director Thuy Nga said the firm’s withdrawal was planned in 2008, not because of being afraid of the new strict rules of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on beauty contests.
“If we want, we can choose beauties of previous years. But it is not a good method. It’s time to solve the matter at its roots. We should start from training to have ‘good products’,” she said.
Other firms can replace Elite Vietnam but in this context, it is quite risky for them to pay huge money to hold the copyright to send Vietnamese contestants to these beauty pageants.
Under the new rules, there will have only one national beauty contest, Mrs. Vietnam 2009. Other contests will be local-level events. Contestants at Miss World and Miss Universe must be the winners of national contests.
Miss Vietnam Global 2007 Ngo Phuong Lan, who refused twice to take part in the Miss World pageant, said that if she is invited to attend an international beauty contest in 2009, she would have to refuse because she is busy with the new job and new life in Vietnam, before continuing study.
The first runner-up of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2008, Hoang Yen, said she is willing to represent Vietnam at any international beauty contest.

Being Vietnamese myself, I am stating that Ngo Phuon Lan should be entering this year’s (2009) Miss Universe beauty pageant. If she redeclares her mind, then she will be doing a colossal favor Vietnam, and Vietnam’s people. She will be representing Vietnam throughout the world, and showing other people how proud Vietnam is. Be strong, be brave, be yourself!

Why does Miss Vietnam always have to be so ugly? A good way to brag about Vietnam is to improve the Miss Vietnam’s judges’ thoughts about their new (and not improved) winner. Ugh. I’m sick of all the ugly contestants! >:(
NGO PHOUNG LAN SHE GOOD STANDAD PLEASE CONTACT HER GO TO MISS UNIVERSE 2009 IN BAHAMAS
SHE BEST CANDICATE OF MISS VIETNAM UNIVERSE 2009 (NO HAVE PAGEANT)
SHE GOOD ENGLISH AND SHE HIGTH 171 CM PERFACT PLEASE INVITE HER GO TO MISS UNIVERSE 2009
I THINK MANY GILRS IN VIETNAM WANT GO TO MISS UNIVERSE 2009 BUT DON’T HAVE OPPERTUNITY .
IF I BECOME HER I HAPPY AND WILL GO TO MISS UNIVERSE 2009 SURE MISS UNIVERSE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD VERY VERY MORE THAN MRS WORLD PAGEAT
I think VN should have a contestant to show the beauty of Vietnam’s people, moreover, it’s important for the other country to know more about VN. Good luck!
