Contestants from Mexico and China

With the Miss World beauty pageant to take place in China this Saturday, betting is in full swing. Among the hot favorites to win the glamour extravaganza are stunners from China and Mexico.

­With 120 contestants in the running this year, passions run pretty high. Since 1951 the event has been considered one of the most prestigious, and therefore, profitable for betting.

Hispanic beauties are regarded as a ‘safe bet’. Latin American senoritas have won recognition across the world, with beauties from Venezuela holding the record of being crowned Miss World six times.

Last year’s winner – Venezuela’s Ivian Lunasol Sarcos Colmenares – will pass on her duties, as well as the coveted tiara, to the new ‘flavor of the month’ to be chosen on August 18.

It could be 20-year-old Mariana Berumen Reynoso, the favorite from Mexico, who describes herself as being a “very committed, polite, punctual and competitive person.”

Her adversary from China, another major preference for betting, is 23-year-old Wenxia YU who modestly says she would like to become a music teacher.

Although Russian ladies are known for their charms, the country’s hopeful for the Miss World title, Elizaveta Golovanova, isn’t among the front runners to win the pageant.

The 19-year-old brunette describes herself as being persistent though, and is currently studying law at a university in the city of Smolensk.

Russia last celebrated victory at Miss World in 2008, with the blond bombshellKsenia Sukhinova crowned the lucky winner.

Dear "JJ", who you really are is formless Consciousness. This Consciousness has experienced many forms (male, female, animal, plant, rock etc). You are and have been all these races you speak about. This Great Consciousness (Spirit) is not limited by any of the forms it is experiencing. Basically "JJ" who you really are is not the current physical body you are identified with :) You are not your body :) Your spirit can assume any form it chooses. There are an infinite number of beautiful forms from which your spirit/soul can choose from. You can say that You are All of it, All That Is. Everything that exists is The Oneness That You Are. All Are One. There is NO SEPARATION. You may wish to read more about this in the Great Book "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch :) Love. Oneness, LAUGHTER and The Light of God Almighty, All That Is, GREAT SPIRIT :)

Most beautiful women in the world, Blonde or Brown hair, Brown or Blue
Eyes, soft white skin, pretty pink nipples not ugly brown ones like these
girls have.  If these girls are so pretty, how come in a lot of Asian countires
yep the big thing the men like is to look at pics of the kind of women I just
described.  Japanese men have a big thing for Russian women.  White Women are the most beautiful women in the world period ! Oh and I notice

LOL  They all try to look white !

probably need to come out of the closet.  I would take these beautiful chicks any time.  What's a matter, a lil color makes you wet your pants and run like pussycat? All women are beautiful, and the fact that you made such a comment like that, tells me that you are a very insecure person.  What type of moron would not see the beauty on these women? what a dumb azz you are...
