Miss Universe Sexy Art Paint

The universal truth controversy sells. So does sexy. Club them together and they are likely to breathe life into a dead beauty pageant.

Once upon a time the ticket to easy fame and money, beauty pageants are now struggling to remain afloat. Even the Grand Slam or Big Four of the pageant world – The Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth and Miss International are encountering tough times. TV viewers have plummeted and sponsors are hard to come by.

In an age of women’s emancipation, women have so many means to achieve the life of their dreams. Look at self made hi-achievers among women around the world. They haven’t taken the pageant route-far from it.

This year the contestants are grabbing eyeballs without the twirl of a single gorgeous gown. In a new form of pre-event hype, some of the contestants are posing hot and/or covered in body paint.

Of the 83 contestants, Miss USA, Miss Japan and Miss Trinidad and Tobago faced the camera with body paint on.
