In honour of Lenka’s win here are some typical questions asked at beauty pageants and the interesting answers:
What is the essence of being a woman?
Answer from: Sushmita Sen of India – Miss Universe 1994
“Just being a woman is God’s gift that all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother, and is a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman.”
In the next day or so, a man will land on the moon. If a man from the moon landed in your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?
Answer from Gloria Diaz of Philippines – Miss Universe 1969
“Oh, just the same things I do. I think if he has been on the moon for so long, I think when he comes over he wants to change, I guess.”
If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?
Answer from Brook Mahealani Lee of USA – Miss Universe 1997
