If you haven’t seen the video of Miss. USA falling in the Miss Universe 2007 pageant, you should get out from under your rock more often. Check out the video.
I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. People seem to be surprised to see her fall. Consider the following facts:
- She is wearing heels that look like stilts
- She is probably starving herself for weeks in fear of gaining a few extra grams
- She is wearing a dress so tight that being able to walk is almost against physics
If think about it, the above facts are in line with the norm in young people these days. So we can expect to see more and more people fall on a regular basis. That’s why I propose that Miss Universe Pageant introduces a new event called “Fall Fashions”, where contestants show how gracefully they can fall and how elegantly they can recover from it. They will be judged based on:
- Perfect and soft landing on their ass
- How quickly they spring back to upright position
- How broad a smile they plaster on their faces, however artificial it is, as if nothing has happened.
Miss USA could’ve scored 10/10 in this category!
LOL!! I saw that too.Sometimes you fall but ppl were booing her!!!!!Strange mentality.She got up superfast and smiled.Good for her!!:))
Wow… 2 posts in a single day when there has been such a lull! Anyway, I think I must congratulate her for recovering so gracefully from the fall — it ain’t easy.
habahaba! i saw tht live ! i must say its a talent !
I too thought she recovered very gracefully from the fall.
Yeah, well, I’m not falling in that category anytime soon…I have enough padding on me to make a perfect landing everytime! They’ll soon be making a runway of me at this rate…
Oh.. can we also add a category where they come up with noble goals - all said with a straight face?
Oh wait they already have that!!
Ash did that - trip and fall - when she took part in the Miss India contest - look where she is now!
I saw Miss usa trip and fall.she got up rather gracefully though. I think the tight dress and being weak from starvation did it.
Poor thing! I did think she was rather graceful given the fall! And def. she would have scored 10/10!
… and you had 10 comments before i wrote this one to spoil the party ;-).
“She is probably starving herself for weeks in fear of gaining a few extra grams”
you mean ounces, not grams, do you? also, with a rarified stomach, the centre of gravity rachets upwards - simple physics.

anisha dutt :
Hey. Hope you are settling down well.
Asha:
ppl were booing her
I guess they were booing the fact the she was American. Or may be that she went to finals not Miss. Mexico.
She got up superfast
Ya! As if nothing happened! amazing
Sudipta Chatterjee:
it ain’t easy
How do you know? Did you try at home
Just kidding. I know what you mean.
Mahathma:
i must say its a talent
Quite agree! Not an easy talent, not even try to rub the area where it hurt!
Alan:
Ya, she did. She didn’t even flinch!@
OrangeJammies:
I’m not falling in that category
LOL@ the pun
LOL. Not falling in the “all bones” category is a good thing!
Sakshi:
they come up with noble goals - all said with a straight face?
ROFL!
desigirl:
Ash did that - trip and fall
Really!? I didn’t know that. I will have to search for a video then!
look where she is now
Hmm. So as I said, we do need a category like that!
starry nights:
she got up rather gracefully
Hmm. Talking about it, she did get up too gracefully! I have a conspiracy theory that she did it on purpose to get sympathy points
Melody:
Poor thing!
Ya, poor thing. All she wanted to do was save the world from starvation. They didn’t even let her win.
some body:
s.b!! So glad to see you, old friend!
a rarified stomach, the centre of gravity rachets upwards
LOL. But I thought with air in the head, it moved downwards!
Yep she took a fall, but hey, she got up and her composure was intact.. points for that!
That was an elegant handling of an embarrassing situation…I am jus one of those who hadn’t heard/read of it till this day
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Only that the one to fall was not sitting on the wall rather cat-walking down the podium.
the model fell into the right pagent!
