A regular reader of yashvinblogs.com just asked me to have a look at the dress which will be worn by our Miss Mauritius during the Miss Universe 2010 contest on the 23rd August in Las Vegas.
Good luck to our representative!

@ReenaDKL: in this case, you should do your best to take the miss mauritius organisation in your hands so that everything would be perfect!go for it!!!
one should be more careful about one’s sayings.

@jon92:
“Robe” ou “robe nationale”, it still remains a “robe” isnt it?
Again referring to the words of the designer, she mentioned “robe” without necessary adding the word “nationale” with it.
But since you mentioned @Arrmaan‘s comment, I am sure that he has noted this point.
Finally, I would like to add that Armaan wants to stress out on another point here : The choice of the designer.
Usually, I don’t change my titles once published but I think I will make an exception for this time so that more emphasis is put on the national costume…
Btw, I am going out right now and will approve comments a few hours later

Dress or not, designer or not, creative or not, mauritian or not… The “thing” sucks!
A national dress cannot be made by only two people, whom I still wonder if they are Mauritians to know our culture or highly-hired skins just to give some unusual names like “Dior, Bax, Chateau de France blabla” instead of having something like “proudly confectioned by our Mauritian students/designers”.
I don’t have a problem with the designers but the people behind. For me it’s just big money wasted for nothing. Or maybe they are trying to tie some relations with “expats” but whatever. At least they could have considered asking people about the design before finalizing. So I still maintain that the dress… I mean the “thing” sucks!

National costume and robe??man whatever name u want to call it not worth for my dog to sit on.

as i’ve said,i respect all your opinion and never have i said that i love or dislike the costume. i have just wanted to clear some things and express some of my opinion.i’ll also add that’s quite normal that the national costume makes so much controversy( examples australia and thailand this year, last year it was japan’s kimono which was seen as too much sexy or ,in 2008, miss australia,laura dundovic’s costume which was considered too much like a dress than a costume)
@arrmaan: public funds???i really don’t understand!!!how does the public contribute to the miss mauritius’ finance? how come a private company get involved in wastage of public funds? the organising committe is not a parastatal body or any such thing!!!it’s the sponsors who are giving money so that mauritius is represented at the miss universe pageant (countries such as cayman islands did not have enough funding or sponsorship to participate…)
@ReenaDKL: sorry but it’s not me who can give you the contract.you should go for it by yourself!!!( and if you do, well good luck)
@yashvin(the author): i think that everyone’s opinion should be respected!!!so, if one has liked a photo on facebook, you should respect his opinion no matter what yours is!!!(Kouma moriciens cpv like sa foto la? :S). congrats to you for having been able to find a good way in making your blog even more spicy and sensational.finally, i do hope that you’ll keep your word about changing the title about the article!!!
since i’m quite bored and tired of commenting on this blog ( for i’ve to repeat many things several times,it’s always difficult to go against the trend and many of you haven’t got their facts right)i’ll say goodbye to everyone for this is my last comment here.thank you and all the best to you all!
