Manita Hang: Will she give a first-ever placement for Cambodia in Miss Universe?

Manita Hang: Will she give a first-ever placement for Cambodia in Miss Universe?

Among our ASEAN neighbors, there are still nations that remain unplaced in Miss Universe – and no, it doesn’t include Malaysia because they already got one back in the 70s. I’m referring to Cambodia and Laos. Cambodia is pinning its hopes on a lovely Cambodian-French to do the honors of at least making it to the first cut in our favorite beauty pageant. And Manita Hang is ready to show her best…

Miss Universe Cambodia 2022 National Costume:  

It is a contemporary design that combines prehistoric art of Funon and Angkor Era. Based on the Buddhist tales, she is the goddess that educates people to control their anger, to love the lives of humans, animals and nature, to share happiness and to appreciate harmony. "Plants and trees are a part of life on earth; please take care of them!"

[nonasuch]

The 2022 Miss Universe pageant was last night!

Which means: the National Costumes are here.

Yes, there is video. It’s worth watching if you want to see how some of these look in motion, but I’m warning you in advance that the emcees keep doing these shitty little rhyming couplets, and they will make you want to strangle them with one of the many available voluminous gown trains. So I’m suffering on your behalf, and liveblogging.

First up: Albania.

Sparkly flag-inspired bodysuit with train is the voting “present” of the Miss Universe National Costume Competition.

Angola. She did a fun dance on her way to center stage, which would probably not have been possible in her original costume, which was “tree-inspired” and too big to ship to New Orleans.

Argentina. This is where the video does come in handy, because without it I would not be able to award her First Contestant To Visibly Struggle Under The Weight Of Her Outfit. It’s a waterfall. The rainbow crotch area was certainly a design choice.

Armenia. I would like to see what’s going on with the bodice behind the... shield thing? but she never put it down.

Also, it turns out that when one contestant has a costume dedicated to solemn remembrance of the Armenian genocide, and the contestant immediately after her has a costume that’s about beach parties, there is kind of an uncomfortably abrupt tonal shift that happens onstage.

Aruba. Like I said: weird tonal shift! She did a little shimmy dance at Miss Armenia as they passed each other and it was clearly awkward for both of them. This is made of recycled materials leftover from Carnival, which is cool? I guess?

Australia. This is a prom dress. Boo.

Bahrain. A rare pants look! There’s a lot of detail in the headdress and bodice that’s kind of getting lost, but it looks cool in motion. Also the theme is apparently “Bahrain is rich as fuck,” so congrats I guess?

Belgium. Okay so the theme of this costume, my hand to g-d, is “the window on the International Space Station that Belgium built.” Why does this requires a shit-ton of leftover Christmas tinsel and some very awkward-to-wear angel wings? I do not know.

Belize. This is fun! It’s a good “lesser-known Batman villainess” kind of look. Like if Ivy and Catwoman co-mentored someone. The actual theme is “the world’s only jaguar reserve, which is in Belize,” but I think it’s also kind of implying that she might be a were-jaguar. Which, again, is fun!

Bhutan. This goes in the “just an actual regional/folk costume” category, which is also kind of like voting Present, but it looks like the fabrics are nice.

Bolivia. She has an entire Andean condor on her head so I’m already on board. This photo only shows the cloak, which is covered in silver spangles in honor of Bolivia’s silver mines, and is also why her condor is perched on a miner’s helmet. The dress underneath is entirely made of swags of sparkly gold beads, so the visual effect is actually pretty nice in motion.

Brazil. The construction details on this are actually quite lovely! Lots of intricate beading and rhinestone work. Unfortunately that doesn’t convey well at any distance, and also that white fin peplum thing flaps around really awkwardly when she walks. Oh, wait, she can flip it up to be a clamshell thing behind her head!

That looks much better.

British Virgin Islands. First giant flower of the year!

Bulgaria. Apparently this is made of neoprene? So with that and the rainbow stripes, the effect ends up being kind of “what if Midsommar, but at a rave.”

Cambodia. It feels weird to say “yep, standard Miss Universe warrior goddess costume” but basically that’s what this is. I do like the green-and-gold color palette, though.

Cameroon. “The baskets represent the nation’s agricultural movement.” Okay! I like how it’s giving “Valkyrie, but make it Global South,” though I’m not sure three entire country-shaped cutouts were necessary.

Canada. Another fine Miss Universe tradition: contestant who knows how to dance en pointe so she’s going to goddamn wear a costume that goes with pointe shoes, Or Else. Some nice beadwork! I would let her be the third, secret red swan in Swan Lake if that were a thing.

Cayman Islands. Sexy Blue Iguana is a fun concept! There’s a tail in back of the cape.

Chile. Sexy Atacama Desert is kind of abstract, as these things go, but I respect her choice to wear something she could walk in.

China. Hilariously, the announcer was like “This look... does not match the bio we were given, so I’m gonna wing it!” The fabrics are nice -- the satin drapes and moves well -- but the embellishments are kind of meh compared to some of the Miss China looks I’ve seen.

Colombia. This is a legit great Sexy Phoenix, but I need you all to know that her crown got turned a little sideways while she walked to the stage and she clearly knew it and just as clearly could do nothing about it, and I feel bad for laughing but it was funny.

Costa Rica. Sexy hummingbird! I think I’ve identified a recurring theme for this year. Corset and wings are made of recycled materials, which is nice, and they look well-made -- a lot of wing-based costumes tend to flop around or go crooked in motion, but not these.

Croatia. Oh, honey. This has big “my mom helped me make this the night before it was due” energy, unfortunately.

Curacao. “Meet the Fisherman’s Wife, a woman with a key role in Curacao’s fishing industry.” Okay? Honestly you could have left off the basket and said “this costume represents the beautiful marine life of Curacao” and I would have been like “yep, checks out” but now I have many follow-up questions.

Czech Republic. This is meant to be a Mucha-inspired look but uh. Mostly it’s just. beige. I’m starting to feel like all the other Slavic countries saw advance photos of Miss Ukraine and were like “let’s just phone it in this year, girls, there’s no point.”

Dominican Republic. “This costume recognizes the importance of birds in Dominican culture.” They did make it with silk feathers, which I appreciate, because it would have been very weird to use real ones with that mission statement. Also I like her headdress, and the giant feather fans are a good way to nod in the direction of wings without the hassle of actually wearing wings.

Ecuador. This looks good in motion! She did some dancing onstage that worked well, and there’s a great sculpted Inca head scowling on the back of her headdress. This is still only a few notches above voting Present, though.

El Salvador. “History of Currency,” which is definitely a concept! The Bitcoin wizard staff is sure something.

Equatorial Guinea. A perfectly nice entry in the “actual regional costume” category, but on the video I was like “oh, yikes, her headdress is really wobbly” and then it FELL OFF and I felt so bad for her.

Finland. “Spirit of the Forest”? Fuck off, that’s a prom dress. Boo.

I’m going to pause here so this readmore doesn’t get completely out of control. Shit, there are 50 more of these? Well, I have only myself to blame.

UK Student Visa Procedure has been Reduced from 5 to 3 Weeks

The processing times for UK student visas have been lowered from five to three weeks for applications from certain countries, which is good news for students who will be studying in the UK. UK universities are one of the top choices for international students. The British High Commission in India, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Nigeria is among those who have tweeted that the processing time for UK student visas is currently three weeks on average. In the past, the British High Commission in India stated that there is a high demand for UK student visas as the UK universities' courses are globally recognized and that the application procedure takes five weeks. They tweeted earlier this month, "We encourage that you apply in July if you are able to do so, rather than waiting until August." Similar to this, the British High Commission in Nigeria tweeted in June that it typically takes five weeks to complete applications for UK student visas. According to India.com, which cited Live Mint, a representative from the British High Commission in India assured that they are attempting to reduce the processing time. According to the spokesperson, "Indian students make up one of the largest international student populations in the UK, and Indian professionals are the top nationality in the skilled employment category." The Latest UK Student Visa Updates The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, advised students last month to apply for their visas "much earlier than you think you need" if they intend to start their studies this academic year, despite the fact that the latest UK student visa update notes that applicants from Nigeria and India will have their wait times reduced from five to three weeks. "In years past, it could have been acceptable to apply for a visa in August in order to begin your studies in September. "That's going to be way, way too late for this year," she stated in a video that was shared on Twitter. "Laing said that the delays were brought on the "enormous demand" placed on the visa processing system and their top priority of granting visas to Ukrainian nationals. The length of time it takes to process a visa varies depending on where the student is from. The British Embassy in Morocco, the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), British Embassy in Mogadishu (Somalia), and the British High Commission in Ghana are among those that have announced that student visas can take five weeks to process. The British Embassy in Budapest tweeted that UK student visas take four weeks to process. Separately, a recent Navitas Agent Perception survey indicated that when it came to visa application simplicity, the UK outranked other top study abroad countries like Australia, Canada, and the US, Australia came in second with 32% of the total agents giving it the highest rating. The study included more than 700 education agents worldwide. According to 60 percent of respondents, the UK's visa acceptance rate is viewed favorably, according to Jon Chew, global head of insights and analytics at Navitas. This contrasts with respondents' more pessimistic assessments of acceptance rates for Canada and the US, where around 20% gave Very Good ratings to acceptance rates and about 15% gave them to Poor or Very Poor ratings. You need not worry if you missed the September 2022 intake; you can still apply for the upcoming January 2023 intake in UK University. Read the full article

Aman to Launch New Hotel Brand

Aman, one of the most exclusive and luxurious brands in the hotel industry, has unveiled plans to launch Janu. The Janu brand will launch in 2022 with three hotels which are currently under construction: Montenegro, Al Ula in Saudi Arabia and Tokyo. While some purists will shudder in horror at the thought of such a highly respected hotel brand diversifying its portfolio in this way, others will suggest that the two may complement one another. So how will they differ? Here is how Aman compares the two brands, “While Aman is synonymous with its Sanskrit translation, ‘peace’, Janu stands for ‘soul’; Aman is a sanctuary, whereas Janu is connectedness; Aman offers refined respite, whereas Janu offers an energetic vibe seeking greater purpose with inner contentment. Janu bears similarity with Aman in the form of total commitment to its guests, deep roots in destination, exemplary and timeless design, and unruffled service.” Vladislav Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman, said, “The overlap between Aman and its sibling is mutually beneficial; together they offer a total solution for the fluctuating needs and desires of today’s global travel cognoscenti.” There are currently 32 Aman hotels in 20 countries. See latest Travel News, Interviews, Podcasts and other news regarding: Aman, Janu.
