Interesting and funny read 'Don't forget to wear panties': Miss Universe contestant told to cover up after going commando By Laurie Whitwell Last updated at 3:06 PM on 10th September 2011 It's the contest where beautiful women from all over the globe don figure-hugging evening gowns and itsy-bitsy bikinis as they fight for the crown of Miss Universe. But one contestant has been reprimanded for leaving too little to the imagination before the pageant has even begun. The 22-year-old Miss Colombia, Catalina Robayo, had to be warned about her attire after being photographed without underwear at official pre-show appearances. Don't forget the underwear! Catalina Robayo, pictured here after being crowned Miss Colombia 2010 last November, has been told she must wear panties after being pictured without them 'Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate,' a source told Fox News. 'People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out.' Along with the other Miss Universe hopefuls, Miss Robayo is in Sao Paolo, Brazil, for publicity events before the contest starts on Monday. She was photographed at one official appearance by a local newspaper doing her best Sharon Stone impression. Miss Robayo was sitting down, wearing a short bright coral dress and failing to cross her legs. The photograph, which allegedly shows her sans panties, was published on the front page of the local paper. Totally inappropriate: Miss Colombia (fourth from right) greeted Sao Paulo Mayor Gilberto Kassab last month. Was she wearing panties? Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, said she could not believe it when she heard the news from her team. 'There were several girls in short dresses which is was a little concerning, but when I saw the (commando) picture on the front page of one of the local papers and was very, very surprised,' Ms Shugart told Fox News. 'Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to her (Robayo) and apparently she said she was wearing underwear. 'But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days.' Not everyone was quick to condemn. A Facebook fanpage entitled 'Catalina Robayo - Pantyless Miss Universe' has been set up. It has more than 50 'likes' Miss Colombia's wardrobe malfunction is not the only bit of controversy to hit Miss Universe. The pageant earlier returned bikini bottoms from sponsor Catalina Brasil Swimwear after they were ruled too skimpy for network television. Donald Trump's annual pageant competition has a record number of contestants this year. There will be 89 beauties all wanting to call themselves Miss Universe. source : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Robayo-told-wear-panties-going-commando.html
Make no mistake,this was in no way an oversight.Miss Columbia knew exactly what she was doing.The publicity she has received over her "mistakes" has gained her worldwide publicity.Supposedly Playboy magazine has already contacted her,they typically pay $100,000 U.S. for a front page cover spread. T.V. talk shows have contacted her too,and she will doubtless be appearing on shows like "Dancing With The Stars" in the future.Win or lose in the upcoming pageant she will become a very rich woman.Then.........she can buy all the pairs of panties she wants.
Without panties, much better. More convinient, and vagina needs air to breeze just like any other part of the body . I would ban panties if I could.
I agree this was a calculated Move...The Publicity and potential offers and Ad Dollars are Just to Huge to pass-up ..The contest has become really secondary. It is almost Better ,financially wise, if you are eliminated or Banned for some scandalous reason.
LOL. Seriously though, these pagents want women to wear skimpy bikinis, but showing less skin in a dress without panties is so horrible?
All these things are only for publicity.... If you want to become popular soon some kind of controversies helps you a lot, the best example you have seen here.
