I read about a "beauty contest"
and just had to see it.
Now, I dont want to be a 'complainer' BUT, who gave out all the balloons? It made it almost impossible to get a clear photo of the events on stage!
Can YOU see anything? I walked around the gaggle of balloon waving crowd till I spotted a small crease in the people. After bulling my way through and finally grabbing a ladies wiggling balloons, I was able to take a few photos of the dancers before the Beauties came on stage.
I have zero idea what was going on. There were two announcers yammering along at a machine-guns pace. The crowd periodically erupted in shouts and applause and the MUSIC was so loud it hurt my body, almost like being crushed by sound.
It started at 9:30pm and ran for a few hours. I left after taking these photos without ever learning who the winner was. No, I don't know why two ladies dressed in black with crowns. Maybe past winners? Again, I'm clueless. But it was a great Photo Op. *Just cancel the balloons next time.
Now, it's thursday and I fly home tomorrow, so I have to go start packing.
