Continuing with my End-of-the-Year Lists...in my last post here on my NICKVERREOS.COM blog, I discussed my Top 30+ List of Best Beauty Pageant Gowns of 2013 so...it's now time for the "Uh Oh!/Ayy Mija" Worst Beauty Pageant Gowns of 2013. These dresses ended up here because
A) They were TACKY
B) Bad 80's/90's Prom-Meets-Quinceañera;
C) Questionable Taste Level;
D) Too cheap looking;
E) Too Much Flammable Polyester, and
F) Too Much Boobies and Too Much Sex-a-Licious Slit
Once again, I have divided it into different pageants (i.e. Miss Universe, Miss World, etc.) and I apologize if I missed some of your Top Worsts. So, here we go...

Finally...It's time for my End-of-the-Year Beauty Pageant Gown Wrap-Up! As it has become tradition here, I am recapping the Best Beauty Pageant Gowns (in my eyes) of this past year. There were lots of gowns that caught my attention in a positive manner--whether it was for their DRAMA appeal, having a bit of that RED CARPET GLAMOUR aspect, or just looking ON TREND, RUNWAY FAB and FITTING CORRECTLY, these gowns--and the women who wore them--ended up here in my Best Beauty Pageant Gowns of 2013. I am dividing the Gallery into "Pageant Sections" (keep reading and you'll see what I mean). And I am sure I might have missed some but I had only so much space here and well, there are 32 dresses/examples here so I think I pretty much covered it--at least for me! So, here we go...

In one of my previous posts, I gave my "Nick Two Cents" on the "Miss World 2013" gowns--for the Winner the gorgeous Megan Young "Miss Philippines", as  well as the Top Ten Semi-Finalists...So now, it's time to discuss the rest of the Top 20 contestants, as well as the gowns/contestants that didn't end up in the Top 10/20 but I thought need a "good" mention...plus, naturally, my "What Was She Thinking?" group. And yes, there are LOTS! Shall we get started?

23 year old Filipino-American US-born TV presenter and actress Megan Young "Miss World Philippines" was crowned "Miss World 2013" in a glittering show in Indonesia. This marks the VERY FIRST TIME in the international pageants 63 year history that a Miss Philippines has ever won that coveted beauty crown.The contest was televised LIVE in the USA on E! Entertainment at 5 am (!). And you can bet your Beauty Pageant Sashes and Tiaras...that I DVR'ed it! I then woke up this morning at 8 am to watch it! It was a GREAT pageant and a fabulous show, highlighting Indonesia, its culture, fashion in a marvelous manner.

Tonight in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, Miss World 2013 held the Top Model Event and Runway Show where all of this year's 127 contestants modeled gowns and dresses from Indonesian fashion designers. This is always one of the most anticipated "Miss World Challenge" events--especially for me as a fashion designer, pageant fan and red carpet commentator. 

This week, 125 beauties from all over world gathered in Indonesia for the start of the 63rd edition of "Miss World".  The finals are to be held on September 28, 2013, in Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center. But for now, there are tons of activities including filming, rehearsals, photo-op's, etc. taking up the contestant's time.
