Check out this clip of Riyo Mori on a reality TV show. The girl might be hot enough to have won Miss Universe, but she's also dumb enough to show up at an airport without valid ID. Wait, scratch that. She didn't have a passport, drivers license, or other form of government-issued ID, but she DID have her Miss Universe sash. Homeboy at the US Airways counter actually let her through, probably because he was pressured by half a dozen hot girls and a camera crew.
While Riyo won the global pageant, back home she wasn't everyone's favorite. She's not really "cute" in the way Japanese people want girls to be cute, I guess. Want to decide for yourself which woman should have been Miss Universe Japan? Check out this next video (after the jump) from the selection ceremony.

I think she might have been drunk or on drugs -- she had her shades on the whole time. It also makes sense that she foolishly went to the airport without any ID.
I know it's shallow as far as evidence goes, but covering her eyes the whole time makes me a little suspicious.

They all win in my book.
As for Riyo-chan busting out the sash as ID...classic.
