UNOLOGY: Pageant CROWNING's INTERESTING FACTS

[UNO - God of Beauty]

***This is a long thread.
Almost like an ENCYCLOPEDIA of Pageant Crownings.
Please dont feel dizzy. =)

The list of Beautiful Goddesses who were crowned in their own turf might be a cliche to enumerate as it may only send the wrong message to people who will be reading it as it may be perceived as a "biassed" decision nor an an irrational preference or prejudice.

My second report for UNOLOGY will focus on the uncanny and interesting facts
about some crowning that made the World of Pageantry worth remembering.











Sandwich Crowning


USA-SWEDEN-USA

In 1954, Miss USA Miriam Stevenson won the title. Miss Sweden Hillevi Rombin won in 1955 and after a year she crowned another American beauty Carol Morris.

Crowned in her own TURF and Yet Passed her CROWN at her Own Turf as well.


Brooke Lee was crowned in Miami, Florida USA and she was representing USA. She then passed her crown in 1998 to Miss Trinidad and Tobago in Hawaii (her home state). As we all know Hawaii is still USA so technically she was crowned in USA and crowned her successor in her own country too.







I guess most of these happened in Miss World.

In 1961, Miss United Kingdom Rosemarie Frankland† was crowned in February 1, 1943 in Lyceum Theatre, London, UK and passed her crown to Miss Netherlands Catharina Lodders also in London, UK.

Rosemarie Frankland (Wales) - 1961

In 1983, another Brit named Sarah Jane Hutt was crowned at the Royal Albert Hall London, UK.
She then passed her crowned in 1984 to a Venezuelan goddess named Astrid Carolina Herrera in June 23, 1963 also in London, UK.

...I would add the winning of India in three pageants all in the same year as very fascinating feat (was it in 2000?)... I think Australia was the first one to have done it. That's much harder to achieve, i think, and very noteworthy too.

I'd like to add that the first country to win all big 4 crowns was Brazil in 2004. When the country won miss earth, having already achieved Mu, Mw and Mi crowns before.
2nd Venezuela in 05

No other country has all big 4 crowns.


Until now there isn't a country to win at last two of each big 4 crowns.
Brazil needs +1 MW crown and +1 MI crown
Venezuela needs +1 ME crown
