Total nude will be at least understandable but seminude? Of all countries to condemn these things and push for conservatism...Colombia? really?
This is an absolute hypocrisy Colombians should definitely protest to this!
Since when is this rule taking effect? This is new
This is like NOT seeing Rolene Strauss, Megan Young, Paulina Vega compete in pageantsOh this rule has been in affect at CNB for a while, they have a bunch of ridiculous rules too like contestants may never have participated in an international pageant etc... and yes a lot of people are by boycotting the pageant that will select the girl for Miss Universe 2018 in september. And @JoelR, who knows, you may be right but none of those countries have been in the Top 3 for 4 years in a row. Its like with the Philippines I bet, no matter how many Pinoys complain about Stella Araneta, she will never lose franchise because she has had so much success in recent years and same w/ Colombia.
Yes but Osmel produced 7 Winner 3 of the last are big favorites of MUO and for them not to give Osmel the franchise is because they want old ND gone. Molly ended up with the franchise. I think IMG wants to bring a new era. At the end of the day Raymundo had no say in Paulina, Ari, Andrea winning, (and if he did rigged the pageant 4 years in a row then IMG can take the franchise away) so he is not 100% the reason they placed so high. The girls had amazing bodies, which they had before winning Señorita Colombia. Their English didn't improve much after winning. They didn't get a make over, well Laura did but she went back to her normal look. Unless Raymundo personally trained those girls he gets no credit for their placement. If they crown a clapped in September Colombia loses momentum and it will be hard to gain it. Look at Spain, Patricia and Desiree gave Spain momentum on for Spain to crown a clapped and go back to being a backgrounder. Sophia brought Spain back but look who Spain crowned, she isn't facially stunning like Sophia. Semi nude photos are empowering to woman, we aren't in the 50's where you slut shame girls. Señorita Colombia is stuck in the 50's where they want cookie cutter girls to act like pageant bettys. If a new ND comes and crowns Stunners like the 4 top 3 girls, they can keep placing. I can rant on and on. #FueraRaymundoOh I really really hope you are right and I hope it comes to IMGs attention, but the thing is Venezuela does not currently have a streak in Miss Universe (they clapped in 2016 and Osmel quit before it came out that he was pretty much a pimp) and yes I always believe that the only ones who deserve credit for the countries placements are the girls themselves, Osmel or any other trainer deserves credit because they can only physically help them, not compete and the girls can choose to listen or not and the girls should be the only ones to say their placement was an "accomplishment." And no Raimundo does not train the girls in fact I'm not even sure the organization trains them for Miss Universe because the priority is being "Señorita Colombia" not Miss Universe even though it's very popular here and it became even more popular after Paulina was crowned Miss Universe. I completely agree and really hope you are right, he's not interested in results for Miss Universe at all, I just don't want to get my hopes up.
And that's why he's going to get the boot. IMG and MUO want ND that want their girls to win. That's one reason why Desiree got the boot. She said all she wants her girls to do is either be fan favorite, lead the polls and place. If she her girls does any of those things, it's good enough for her. The top 3 girls have to unite and speak on this issue like many PR queens did. If it wasn't for Mariam being such a bitch Venezuela would have a streak. In order for MUO to take notice we have to make a lot of noise. If we trend #FueraRaymundo during the September pageant and the ratings are low and comment and tag MUO page they will take notice. That's how we got Desiree out. Japan got a new ND and MUO appointed a few new state directors. IMG wants change and if you aren't willing to change, you get the boot. Look at garret he lost the Florida franchise after so many years. California got a new SD as well. #FueraRaymundo
