Woohoo! Riyo Mori won the Miss Universe contest, which was held earlier this week in Mexico City, making Japan the official home of the most officially beautiful woman in the world. Mori entered the competition at the will of her grandmother, who told her that her wish was to see her granddaughter win this crown before she turned 20.
If you're into this stuff (I'll be the first to admit it—I don't agree with objectifying women, but I like looking at pretty girls), check out the photo gallery for all the dramatic moments from the big night. Don't miss the moment Mori found out she won (how many times do you think she practiced that surprised look in the mirror?), the smiley shot with Donald Trump, and the fall that booted Miss USA contestant Rachel Smith from the finalist pool.
I'm glad they went with Ms. Japan (I'm bias), although Ms. Brazil was also very beautiful. Not even talking about the fall, I really didn't think (at least from the pictures) that Ms USA wasn't real appealing to me, but then again friends do say I have weird tastes in women.

We were in Mexico City that week and were at the hotel that the girls were at. We saw some pre-contest outdoor thingy one day, all the girls parading around in their national costumes. We got bored so we left before Miss Japan came up.

I'm sorry, riyo mori is pretty but she's no where near Kurara Chibana who should have won last year
