Adalgisa Colombo, Miss Brazil 1958, dies at 73

Adalgisa Colombo, who was Miss Brazil 1958 and placed 1st runner-up in Miss Universe 1958, passed away last January 17, 2013 in a Rio de Janeiro hospital. Her family has never disclosed the cause of her death. Adalgisa is survived by her three children and her husband Flávio Teruszkin.

During Miss Universe 2007 pageant in Mexico, Adalgisa drew attention when she commented that first runner-up Natália Guimarães of Brazil should have won instead of Riyo Mori of Japan. In a 2008 interview, Adalgisa expressed her continuous resentment for losing to Colombia's Luz Marina Zuluaga in Miss Universe 1958. She said: "Perdi para uma colombiana [Luz Marina Zuloaga]. Só para você ter uma ideia, ela media 1,58 m e eu, 1,70 m. Dá para entender?" ["I lost to a Colombian. Just so you have an idea, she was 5'2" tall and I was 5'7". Just so you understand."]

In the following year, Adalgisa was honored for her 50th coronation anniversary
as Miss Brazil 1958.

Adalgisa inspired the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade to write the following poem:

Entre estouros, risos, foguetes,
assustado, lá foge o pombo
que bicava milho na praça,
mas surge Adalgisa Colombo,

escultura, graça alongada,
e a seus munícipes ensina
que entre todos os bens da terra
a beleza é graça divina.

[Between bursts, laughs, rockets,
scared, there flees the pigeon
that pecking corn in the square,
but arises Adalgisa Colombo

sculpture, elongated grace,
and to teach its residents
that among all the goods of the earth
beauty is divine grace.]

Miss Universe Guatemala 2012 Laura Godoy

Road to Miss Guatemala 2013 has officially begun. Casting calls have gone out. This year will be completely different from previous years. We are starting up fresh with a new organization under new ownership. The old organization ( if we can call it an organization) was a complete mess and a total embarrassment. Hopefully this new organization won't disappoint.
Gira de la Belleza Nacional (National Tour of Beauty) will consist of 3 preliminaries this year held in different parts of the country.
- The first will be a swimsuit preliminary and will be held in Escuintla, Guatemala.
- The second will be held in Coban, Guatemala and will feature costumes from each department/state that is being represented.
- The third preliminary will be held in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala and will feature evening gowns. During the evening gown presentation, Miss Guatemala World will also be chosen.
The event will take place sometime in June.
The chosen winner will represent Guatemala at the Miss Universe 2013 and at Miss Continente Americano 2013. Miss World Guatemala will represent Guatemala at the Miss World 2013. Miss Guatemala Internacional will represent Guatemala at the Miss International 2013.

Former Miss Universe Japan director Inés Ligron calls current pageant "beyond horrible" and "old-fashion"

In her Facebook page dated January 24, 2013, Inés Ligron, the French woman who directed the Miss Universe Japan pageant from 1997 to 2010, criticized the "beyond horrible" and "old-fashion" image of the current Miss Universe Japan competition. Before Ligron's directorship, Japanese women had fared very poorly in Miss Universe competition. When Ligron took the helm in 1997, she did a major makeover of the national competition which included intense preparations of the contestants as well as attracting multi-million dollar sponsors. It also became a popular televised event. Under her directorship, Japan placed in the finals 3 times (2003, 2006, 2007), won its second crown in 2007, and placed in the semifinals in 2008. Though her last two years proved to be unsuccessful (2009, 2010). Pageant fans nevertheless expressed sadness in Ligron's departure and hope for her return.
