Miss Amazing Philippine Beauties 2010

While we're chowing down on the rest of our turkey, on the other side of the International Date Line it's Friday, and that means the finals of the eighth annual Miss Amazing Philippine Beauties Pageant will be taking place at the Manila Film Center tonight..

This pageant takes place in another nation that takes its pageantry seriously and like the Miss Tiffany Universe pageant is limited to local transwomen only.    It rivals only the Thai ones in terms of the beauty, intelligence and talent of the transpinays who take part in it, and in addition to being a way for the Amazing Philippine Show to find talent for its cabaret production, it has been embraced by STRAP, the Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines as well.

2009 queen Bem Bem May Razada will be crowning her successor from the 25 transpinay contestants who started on the journey to become this year's  Miss Amazing Philippine Beauty.

Who is going to be the winner?   As soon as I find out, I'll let y'all know.

Miss International Queen 2010 Is...

  

Miss Korea,  Mini Han!

1st Runner up was Ami Takeuchi of Japan

2nd Runner up was Stasha Sanchez of the USA. (Damn)

Stasha has been one of my fave pageant sistahs for years and I was hoping she'd not only bring that Miss International Queen title back to the USA, but in the process become the first African-American to win it.

The last African-American contestant to participate in the Miss International Queen pageant was my homegirl Domanique Shappelle in 2006  

The Japanese girls almost pulled off the back to back wins.  2009 queen Ai Haruna won it last year 

Once the pics get posted on the Net from the pageant I'll post them here.
