So, having gone through a terribly stressed day at work, I rushed off at around 7.45pm to try by some superhuman feat to get home before 8.00pm. Needless to say, this did NOT happen. Firstly, the lifts to the car park DID NOT work!! Then, after I successfully managed to get to my car and zoom out the 8 levels I have to drive through (tyres screeching like a wild banshee), I get stuck in fairly heavy and moving traffic. I have said this before and I will say this again, Kancils (660 - 850cc Malaysian made cars) should NOT be allowed on the road, especially Kancils ... don't ever get me started about Volvo drivers!!)!!
OK... back to my Mr World story. Unfortunately, I missed half the show. Mr World is somehow not as glamourous as those female beauty pageants. It was painfully obvious that this was a low budget production (the stage was so small that the 32 guys parading around in their trucks had trouble staying on stage). They had this outdoor, male-macho contest thingie whereby the guys had to do specific activities like throwing haggies, wellington boots etc. Unfortunately, this was shot in Scotland where the weather is cold... no buldging muscles here as they were all wrapped up in wind breakers and rain coats and slathered in mud. The good news was that I didn't miss the swim suit parade...
Ahhhhhh the swim suit parade. It was hysterical watching the pre-swim suit parade preparation!! We had 32 males, in various stages on undress (take note: white underpants is NOT a turn on) doing their hair, makeup etc. We had guys rubbing oil on one another, doing push ups (in ardent hope they they will look more cut), sit ups etc. We had guys adjusting their swim trunks (no g-strings unfortunately *sigh*), tucking in the rude parts etc.
So at long last, I finally managed to see that guy who caught my attention... Mr Philippines I think. I had missed out on his personal interview. I think it was Philippines but I can't be sure. Unfortunately, after seeing them in their trunks, I think that none of these guys will fuel my day dreams. One would expect that these contestants would have a somewhat muscular body right... beep... wrrrrrrrooong!! My lord... some were down right fat!! The shaky tits, beer bellies and wobbly triceps... they were all on show. This was a rude awakening... We had guys with too long a torso, some with too long legs, some with skinny arms... oooh the list goes on and on. After the swim suit section, there was the formal one... now, clothes do heaps to hide the sins. This was abundantly clear during this portion... the fatty ones became gorgeous!! The gorgeous ones became even more gorgeous. Formal clothes do wonders for the less than perfect body.
Oooooh I can be such a bitch about Mr Singapore and Mr Hong Kong right now but I shall refrain from doing so. I will say however, Asians have a smaller stature when compared to rest of the world. They looked tiny compared to the rest of the world.
They are probably going to be showing a rerun of the show later tonight. Am I going to stay up to watch it? Nah... I don't think so. I was disappointed with the 20+ minutes I manage to catch...don't think I am going to sacrifice valuable minutes of sleep for this. Male beauty pageants have a long way to go. Would I ever go out with a Mr World contestant... nope, I don't think so. This one would be another story in itself... .
