[> [> Subject: Well... Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, July 08, 08:50:02am Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 I can't help but think of the Meiling dress and yes, I think the Meiling gown was better but this is not a clear pic. I really can't seen any detail of the gown and it is obvious this is a gown that needs to be seen while it moves in order to capture its essence. For now I think we have to do alot of praying for Anya to make top 5. That being said, it is a bit "Wendy-esque." It's a very simple design and I guess I need to see better pics of it in order to make an informed decision as to whether or not I like it-based on this pic alone however, I don't because it looks like you literally lose Anya's body inside it. However, I can't believe Peter got it wrong-I think we just need to see better pics of it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: It Looks Great! Author: PageantCritic [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, July 08, 08:56:20am Author Host/IP: c-76-101-51-85.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/76.101.51.85 I really like this gown. It looks great on her. I totally disagree with you I dont think you lose Anya in it at all. This is not a very clear picture of the gown either. It reminds me of Oxana and wendy's gown. I like the way it flows on stage. I really want to see it on video. Go Anya [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Hopefully when clearer pics become available I will love it. I guess Peter Elias is the designer this year. The material looks extremely light and I am actually excited to see the video. I really think this is a "motion" gown-something tells me when Anya is walking across the stage in it she is going to dazzle. I really am getting the Wendy vibe from this gown-I take it as a good sign, since Peter has never done another gown that was even reminiscent of one Wendy wore at MU1998 till now (O.K. I don't know if Peter is the designer but it looks like something he could come up with). Blow the competition away Anya on July 14th in Vietnam. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Anya is looking fabulous in this nice light flowy white gown. What do you think about India's gown?. Any pictures of Japan's gown? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Anya's gown... Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, July 08, 09:21:25am Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 has been generating positive comments-most people seem to like it. It is also growing on me but I hate the lighting in this picture. I was totally not expecting something white-who would have thought-put the most sexy MT&TU I can remember in a dress that has nothing to do with her sex appeal and in white of all colors-Peter seems to know what is required and I am sure this gown is not a Maggie disaster. Once Anya gives a flawless stage performance she will have a good chance to crack the top 5. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Anya looks very lovely...she's a vision in white. Personally, I think she can more than give the front runners a run for their money. I dislike India's gown! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: *sigh* Anya Anya...I got goose bumps watching this picture. I want to see a better pic, but I'm sure it will look stunning. It's funny the ppl. that ignored her on Missossology are admitting they like the dress (it never fails). Our girl is in!

However, based on her stance in the pic she seems to loose it all together from the hips down-I can't explain it. She just looks a bit awkward to me. Maybe it is just the pic. If she can't work the gown onstage then it will be a disaster. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I think PE&A are going to have their biggest placement ever at MU since they took over the franchise in 2004. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It will be very exciting to see Anya win. I want to like India's gown. But, its just okish to me. But, not bad by any means. This year PE&A definitely is going to have their highest placement ever. Anya is keeping her promise to make up for T&T's non participation last year [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I hope the color of MIndia's gown pops and is not pale. From the little I have seen of the prelims-gowns worn by Anya, Columbia, Australia and PR look good but PR looks old and her body is not the best for such a form fitting gown-I really don't think she could make top 5 but we all know latina tend to be favored by the judges and PR is bidding to host next year's event.

Author: pattie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, July 08, 12:33:52pm Author Host/IP: cuscon49658.tstt.net.tt/190.58.73.28 Does anyone know where I can find a bigger, clearer pic of Anya's gown.... I'm new to this whole "follow Miss Universe during the run-up to the pageant" thing, and it frustrates me that none of the sites like Missossology or USB have pics of Anya. Btw...I have seen pics of Japan and Korea's gowns (yuh know the ones Ines was raving about) and I am not inpressed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
