Miss Earth 2007: 96 beautiful women for nature conservancy
Hi! Welcome to this humble blog. You may want to subscribe to TN's RSS feed for updates. Thanks! :D
I already have this domain, www.treasurenature.com, for almost 3 months but time was always short so the matter of continuing my nature blog from blogger.com was forever bumped aside by more pressing concerns. The coming Miss Earth competition in Vietnam and the Philippines prompted me to put it up as I wanted a post on beautiful women (who can better represent Mother Nature?) to be TreasureNature’s first ever (second actually, as there’s an introductory post).
Miss Earth’s humble beginning was the result of a media/entertainment company’s defeated attempt to produce the Miss Asia-Pacific contest. This commercial undertone can be ignored in the face of the Miss Earth’s campaign of environmental awareness and nature conservancy, not to mention an eye-pleasing spectacle of red hot babes in sexy swimsuits. The first competition was first held in 2001 and has become the 3rd largest beauty pageant in the world since then. For 2007, 96 beautiful women (all models) of different color, creed, and nationality will vie for the title.
The Miss Earth beauty pageant attracts a different breed of women as they have to be involved with environmental causes and preservation of the Earth. The pageant gained worldwide fame (or notoriety, depending on our views) when Vida Samadzai, an Afghan, competed in a red bikini in 2003. This was followed by an uproar in Pakistan last 2005 when it was represented by Naomi Zaman. Both are strong and independent women.
The Miss Earth crown was won by Denmark in 2001, Kenya in 2002, Honduras in 2003, Brazil in 2004, Venezuela in 2005, and Chile in 2006. This year, 90 countries will be represented in the finals this November 11, 2007. Check bellow if you have a candidate to root for:

Well, it would be a little more helpful if we you had thumbs of the contestants. I love the concept of a real-life ‘Mother Earth’. I’m thinking voluptuous.

Like choose who’s the most beautiful? Aw man, we can’t do that, every woman is beautiful.
Btw, Jessica Nicole Trisko from Canada is Miss Earth 2007 and she’s hot!

Er, well, ya Jessica is beautiful. I’m glad she one. She looks like a classy gal too.

Yeah, it’ll be a lucky guy indeed who’s gonna win her heart. Actually, a lot of the Miss Earth contestants are independent, strong-willed women.
In 2003, Miss Afghanistan sent a delegate and she wore a red bikini, no less.

I was wondering, and I hope you don’t mind me asking….when and where will Miss Earth 2008 be held?
I like the advocacy of the Miss Earth beauty pageant–they’re more proactive about saving the earth and they reflect it in the themes of the pageant instead of just dealing with ultra glamor. It’s very socially-relevant, it’s a great way to spread awareness.
