It's Not All Positive Thinking

Melody Gersbach was said to be a crowd-favorite at the recently held Miss International 2009 at the Tennis International hotel in Chengdu, China, on November 28.

Melody also got in the Top 15, so it's not shameful anymore. I remember her being so positive in her interview that she'd be the next Lara Quigaman. But oh well, at least she got into the Top 15.


Miss Mexico Anagabriela Espinoza Marroquin won the crown. She's one of the early favorites along with Miss Venezuela and Miss Philippines.

The runners-up, though, were not Venezuela and Philippines, but Miss Korea Eun Mi Seo (1st runner-up) and Miss United Kingdom Chloe Beth Morgan (2nd runner-up).


Before Miss International, Anagabriela represented Mexico at the 2008 Miss World pageant. She won the pageant's fast track event, the Miss World Beach Beauty, thereby securing her a slot in the Top 10.
