  - Phenomenal - love the second pic! If I had to be absolutely picky, she could use a nose job, but bah - keep the hair, tone up a bit (the abs), and with a sexy form-fitting gown (Spain 1999 for instance) - she'll sizzle at MU!!

    - I'm guessing if they are holding it early it's so they aren't rushing around right before national castings take place (NT) -- not sure though, still can't believe Zara Shah didn't make it last year, 13:18:20 06/23/09 Tue (cpe-24-210-136-32.woh.res.rr.com/24.210.136.32)

  - I hope so too! I am sure we will see even more improvement. Having read Shriya's background and her perseverence, I am sure she is always striving to improve. Although she wasn't a student of Ritika Ramtri, she did consult her from time to time. Shriya beat Ekta to the overall Nivea Princess Wildcard title. She seems to be the only one who hasn't put on any post-pageant weight. (NT) -- (mitrr), 23:16:18 05/02/09 Sat (NoHost/207.195.241.208)

      - Hmm... For MU she would not be a bad choice, but not a great choice like Ekta also... She would have been a bad choice for MW, we know how Julia loves girls with beautiful soft features... Shriya is not her type... Shriya is perfect for ME, she can win ME. If she was chosen for MU, she could have been eaten away by latinas!!! :))) My opinion.

      - I think Shriya would've been a perfect choice for MW - very well-spoken, sophisticated, and incredible presence. Pooja C is far too goofy/dramatic a choice, and she would've been great for MI (where the fair-skinned doll-types excel). Harshita for ME, and Ekta is the only perfect selection this year - she'll rock MU! (NT) -- Oy, 23:28:44 06/21/09 Sun (modemcable226.201-201-24.mc.videotron.ca/24.201.201.226)

- From time to time. In 2001, Celina, Sara & Maheshwari went to Switzerland. 2002 was Morrocco.

Unless she's gay herself and in denial and its her way off throwing people of her scent... I'm straight and the issue of a gay marriage/relationships is no concern to me purley because it doesn't affect me!!!

    - 1. NEVER believe anything in a Latin-american news article. Those guys make up stuff that would put some of our own desi journalists to shame. 2. She barely speaks English and no spanish, so who knows what she thought she was answering. 3. She doesn't oppose it - what she says is essentially, that she is not one (a lesbian) but if you are, it is your business (es tu problema in Spanish translates to "it is not my concern or it is your business" (NT) -- She is a sweet girl. She would never have vilified a population group like that., 09:11:54 06/11/09 Thu (h-68-166-51-99-static.cmbrmaor.covad.net/68.166.51.99)

Anyone know who this hot Parvathy look-alike is? She was modeling a beachwear collection by Jai and Parvesh at Bonsai in New Delhi recently. Really sultry looking ... and hot body ... good for MU. Hope she's Indian and not one of those brazilian models that are all the rage in the Indian modeling scene now. Someone sign her in for FMI 2010 this minute! (NT) -- (mitrr) , 01:18:13 05/16/09 Sat (NoHost/209.59.47.82)
- She would be a big flop in international pageants. She is not pretty, flabby at places and her kind of looks don't work internationally. It worked in Parvathy due to her confidence and efforts. Every girl can't do a Parvathy. (NT) -- Anx, 04:33:11 05/16/09 Sat (208.43.6.211-static.reverse.softlayer.com/208.43.6.211)

  - Hey rito, thanks for identifying her, and thanks to the person who posted her picture from Rahul Dutta's website. Looking at the rest of the photos there, she seems to have this Eva Mendes thing going on with her mouth, which is incredibly sexy. I don't know how she speaks or carries herself, but she is beautiful and has a good body. It's unfathomable that the likes of Deeksha & co. get chosen over her. Hope she tries again. I wonder how tall she is. http://www.pbase.com/rahul/rashmijha (NT) -- (mitrr), 01:45:40 05/17/09 Sun (NoHost/207.195.241.208)

By the way, just for the regulars here, I only post for this board. The spammer is up to his tricks again. Expect whatever pictures I post here (and watermarked as Miss India TeaRoom) to be reposted a couple of hours later on this board with a missosology watermark (it takes a while for the spammer to find out where I get the pictures). Just read through all the posts with (94.75.253.67) IP and you'll figure out his game. But please do be prepared for a flood of posts watermarked as missosology.

        yea she was there for endorsing some american company. she must have done it for free... who would not? free trip to cannes, wearing great clothes, posing before photographers. it must have been fun. i think she must have done it for free coz i am sure the american company must be knowing that they can get much prettier girls by paying them... just being honest (NT) -- Ankit, 23:37:12 05/29/09 Fri (208.43.6.211-static.reverse.softlayer.com/208.43.6.211)
        Please stop making up stories. She was there as an ambassador for Chopard, which is neither American nor inclined to pick any old cow off the streets to carry its jewellery. It was obvious from the minute we laid eyes on her that whether her beauty is to our taste or not, Parvathy had a drive and presence that would assuredly take her places.

        Firstly i dint make up a story. What i said is there in times of india. no how much correct it is, i dont care. its upon you whether you wanna believe a post in a forum or not. dont be offended so easily. Are you from Chopard?

    - Hey Keira, write to them! you never know! In the past, Femina has worked in conjunction with designers and stylists from the Indian diaspora, like that Indian woman from Mauritius. The only thing I've noticed from videos of their grooming sessions (access to which has been increasing in recent times), is that they seem to be tied in with various businesses in the beauty industry (so it's pretty much a business thing). But you never know ...!!! (NT) -- (mitrr), 00:49:59 05/16/09 Sat (NoHost/209.59.47.82)

        No need to apologize, keira! Alternatively, if you had the time, you could just set up a blog of sorts to increase fashion awareness in the reader, highlighting styling, etc. in connection with beauty pageants (you'd have to be specific as there are many fashion blogs out there). If you can't infiltrate Femina, you can make yourself more VISIBLE to them. Anyhoo, I'm sure the girls/entrants would benefit from reading such a blog (and get a different perspective from the Femina-sanctioned view).

  - Agreed. There are so many good gowns available already, whats the point in "designing" gowns. the designs can go wrong and thats more probable. Hand-picked gowns can always be more in number, more variety and there will be no disasters, unless the taste of the selectors really sucks lol (NT) -- Anx, 23:08:28 05/15/09 Fri (208.43.6.211-static.reverse.softlayer.com/208.43.6.211)

    - Tatum's got quite a high-pitched voice so I doubt that that contributes to any sort of assertive quality you've observed from hearing her speak. Tansey was quite bubbly too but look at the self-indulgent answers she gave at MW08. I don't know how Tatum will fare in MU, but she will definitely place high in MW.

Ekta was the only one appropriately dressed (IMHO!!!) even though I don't particularly like this dress. Shriya is I'd say slightly overdressed (but she looks elegant) and Pooja might just have bad taste in clothes & choosing designers. Is Femina tightening its purse strings? TOI/Femina should actually sponsor Miss Indias' clothes for events like these. It's very unfair of them to expect someone of Pooja's income bracket to buy clothes just for these one-off events that TOI makes them attend.

  - Pardon me but I object your statement here. Pooja's father is bad but you cant generalise that for all Indian man. You cant call them bastards, i hope you know what that word means. such bad men exist in all parts of the world.

i wish thye had posted the ss pics before the pageant.ss is always the deciding factor.she is so gonna rock miss universe (NT) -- , 10:34:37 04/10/09 Fri (NoHost/202.78.236.56)
- I actually think there is a lot Ekta can do to improve on her body to seal her top 15 inclusion. She should get rid of two vertical crease lines (I don't know how this can be done). She should also firm up so that her tummy is flat (like Harshita's) or go a step further and add definition like many of the Miss USA girls. I'll say it as it is, if she wants to make good on her bid to win MU, she can't turn up like this. (NT) -- (mitrr), 10:45:01 04/10/09 Fri (NoHost/198.65.167.254)
  - shes got time.besides shes not flabby.just needs light toning (NT) -- rito, 10:51:34 04/10/09 Fri (NoHost/202.78.236.56)
    - I agree, all I'm saying is that if she really wants to be the best (ie. WIN), toning up her swimsuit figure to be at par with the best girls there would be crucial. Ekta has at least 4 tatoos ... one her shoulder blade, inside wrist, inside ankle and hip. I don't know whether this should be of any concern, it's just that I'm trying to think of all the MU presentation shows and I don't seem to recall any delegate sporting obvious tatoos on their bodies. Do you? (NT) -- (mitrr), 11:00:36 04/10/09 Fri (NoHost/198.65.167.254)

        LOL no your not, i agree some toning will improve her chances more!!! she's got a good figure and besides part of her training will involve her exercising and toning! (NT) -- Keira xXx, 11:09:14 04/10/09 Fri (77-102-177-149.cable.ubr09.gill.blueyonder.co.uk/77.102.177.149)
        Tattoos dont worry me as much her toning does - after all that TALWALKAR TRAINING hoopla it appears to me that none of these girls seriously took advantage of it - they hardly meet international standards - -- Pure Tea still thinks Ekta and Pooja C are the best, 12:42:11 04/10/09 Fri (c-98-201-111-198.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/98.201.111.198)
        Uh. Ekta, Pooja, Shriya and harshita have bodies as per international standards. They do need to be worked upon - toning is inevitable. but its not as bad as you are putting in words. (NT) -- Ankit, 05:18:46 04/18/09 Sat (208.43.6.211-static.reverse.softlayer.com/208.43.6.211)
  - she's fab even with her figure like this she can penetrate the top 15, but i agree she can further it better and really get her abs toned! I'm sure she'll be just fine come MU!!! (NT) -- Keira xXx, 10:58:26 04/10/09 Fri (77-102-177-149.cable.ubr09.gill.blueyonder.co.uk/77.102.177.149)
- I am more concerned abt her hair and shoulder/neck....that is not a hair of a MU winner, maybe she needs to grow it and try for posh or a Rihanna cut....also Exta posture with shoulder/neck seems a little off....she has a stoop....having said that she is best girl for MU, and it doesn't matter if she can talk or not....cos MU doesn't care abt smart girls..... (NT) -- Jason, 04:22:18 04/11/09 Sat (NoHost/210.18.160.42)
  - Its a tough call...I really think she can bring India back to the winners' circle at Miss Universe (I thought that about Simran too, for the first time after Celina, and well...)...a bit of toning, and the hair...hmmm...either grow it out or come up with a totally chic style...I really think the American judges would love it...click in for some suggestions... -- Rahul, 11:39:26 04/12/09 Sun (c-68-37-105-26.hsd1.nj.comcast.net/68.37.105.26)
  - Brooke Lee won MU with similar hair in 1997, so I wouldnt be so concerned about her hair length -- Pure Tea, 07:24:25 04/13/09 Mon (c-98-201-111-198.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/98.201.111.198)
    - i don't think she's done anything with her hair in this pic, but i don't mind the way she has it styled in the pics below at the pantaloon store!!! bob cut really suits her!!! good thing the MU pageant is being held outside asia, think there's something dodgy when asian girls compete at MU when it's held in asia!!! 2005 & 2008.. (NT) -- Keira xXx, 09:46:04 04/13/09 Mon (77-102-177-149.cable.ubr09.gill.blueyonder.co.uk/77.102.177.149)
    - That was 1997...this is 2009! i am not talking abt growing the hair, but rather make its more stylish, this bob cut is so 80s..... (NT) -- jason, 21:55:15 04/13/09 Mon (NoHost/210.18.160.42)
      - guess its time you get updated - check out Hollywood powerhouses - Posh Beckham being the prime example - besides she will standout better -- Pure Tea, 10:19:03 04/14/09 Tue (c-98-201-111-198.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/98.201.111.198)
        please read my comment first, i mention how she needs to get edgy like Posh or rihannna...she has to gro a little, and get an asymmetric cut...and please Posh ain't no hollywood power house, recently she is hollywood freak....update urself first (NT) -- Jason, 22:55:04 04/20/09 Mon (NoHost/210.18.160.42)
These are the girls who have signed on with TOI's Shoot Talent Management (as of the time this was posted ... they might still be updating their website). I am sure the Top 3 (if not the Top 5) were contractually bound to sign on. There's still no indication whether Harishita is to be sent to Miss International.

Ekta will be in Mumbai from next week, when training starts. I guess she got a well-earned two week break. Looking forward to news about her progress in preparing for MU. (NT) -- (mitrr) , 01:31:27 04/19/09 Sun (NoHost/168.143.120.37)

Ekta's going to get a 6th tatoo to commemorate her win. :-) Now I wonder where her fifth tatoo is. I counted four: wrist, ankle, hip & back shoulder. Anyway ... hoping she gets professional advice on every aspect of her grooming, including advice from international industry experts. (NT) -- (mitrr) , 01:38:28 04/19/09 Sun (NoHost/168.143.120.37)
- I am sure the tattoos wont hurt her chances. She will cover them up with make-up or she will sport them in the best way one can. She is amazing, she is gonna create waves in bahamas. (NT) -- Ankit, 02:13:36 04/19/09 Sun (208.43.6.211-static.reverse.softlayer.com/208.43.6.211)
Pooja and Shriya go shopping ... yawn ... I guess training hasn't started yet ... Pooja needs to get away from that matronly look. I wonder whether it's because she has to wear sponsors' clothes. (NT) -- (mitrr) , 01:27:06 04/19/09 Sun (NoHost/168.143.120.37)

- Ekta really needs to get rid of that tattoo, not to mention that the style of dress and the color white do not suit her. Also, pearl necklace with that style of dress? A BIG fashion NO NO! I hope Ekta was not being serious about wearing this dress and necklace. Femina must definitely ensure that that tattoo is GONE by August. (NT) -- Leo, 23:35:13 04/14/09 Tue (NoHost/208.131.181.126)
  - There is no way to remove permament tatoos except going for surgery. I suppose she could apply make-up to cover it up. Anyway, the issue of the tatoo and the dress aside, I actually think she look stunning in these photos. (NT) -- (mitrr), 01:58:16 04/15/09 Wed (NoHost/168.143.185.211)

  - whats wrong in having a tiny tattoo?just bcoz u have 1 doesnt make u a lesser being.update yur fashion sense will u.i dont think miss universe has ever banned tattoed girls from participating.i do however agree abt the strand of pearls.looks very tacky.the white dress is pretty but she needs 2 wear a good push up bra. she should really stick to a classic bob ala rihannas/victoria's or go for wavy hair.this is kind of halfway between the 2.oh well what more can u expect from feminas styling team?

- Actually, what India really needs at MU is an image make-over like Japan had. Gone with the Geisha image, in with the trendy, cool, hips fashionistas...Ekta is a serious step in the right direction. A really chic close-cropped style, keep the tattoo, a slight bit more oomph in the walk, a kick-ass gown that is sexy-cut and nothing like Simran's flamingo funeral disaster, and yeah, Ekta will be contending (NT) -- Rahul, 19:58:31 04/15/09 Wed (c-68-37-105-26.hsd1.nj.comcast.net/68.37.105.26)
