Man, yesterday was a wild ride! I decided to dive into the whole Miss Universe bikini pageant scene. I mean, I’ve seen snippets on TV and online, but I wanted the full experience, you know? So, I grabbed my laptop, some snacks, and settled in for what I thought would be a quick look. Boy, was I wrong!

First off, I started with the preliminaries. Just getting a feel for the whole vibe, the contestants, the energy. I’m telling ya, the confidence these women exude is something else. I found myself watching clip after clip, mesmerized by the whole spectacle. The swimsuits, the walks, the smiles – it’s all so perfectly choreographed.
Then, I got sucked into the rabbit hole of different contestants’ videos. Gosh! There are so many of them! Alma Cooper, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, Ashley Carino, like, I spent a good chunk of my evening checking out their walks. I even started to pick up on the subtle differences in their styles. I found myself getting weirdly invested, like I was one of the judges or something, haha!
I also stumbled upon some behind-the-scenes stuff and interviews. It’s crazy to think about all the work that goes into these pageants. The preparation, the dedication, the sheer amount of people involved, it is really a large event. It’s not just about looking good in a bikini; it’s about poise, personality, and representing your country on a global stage.
- Hours spent: Honestly, I lost track. Let’s just say it was way more than I anticipated.
- Snacks consumed: A whole bag of chips and half a box of cookies. Don’t judge me.
- Thoughts provoked: It really got me thinking about beauty standards, the pressure these women face, and the whole concept of judging someone based on their appearance, even the judges are not only one man, they also have many female judges! I felt so complecated after I watched all of them!
By the end of the night, I felt like a pageant expert. I could probably give you a rundown of the top contestants, their strengths, and their chances of winning. Would I do it again? Maybe not the whole deep dive, but I definitely have a newfound appreciation for the Miss Universe pageant and the incredible women who participate.
It’s way more than just a beauty contest, that’s for sure. It is really a big show! It’s a cultural phenomenon, a global event, and a fascinating glimpse into the world of beauty, competition, and national pride. I even learned that big brands like Bulova and Pandora sponsor this event, amazing!

Anyway, that was my unexpected adventure into the world of Miss Universe. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go rest my eyes after all that screen time. And maybe hit the gym, just in case they need a last-minute judge replacement, lol!
