A media-driven controversy has broken out over a possible attendance by Natalie Glebova, Miss Universe in 2005 and Thai resident’s possible attendance at a Myanmar beauty pageant.
According to a story in The Myanmar Times, Glebova a Canadian citizen, would be a judge at a beauty pageant sponsored by a private company, Myanmar Lay Nying Co, Ltd, as part of a two-day show of cosmetics.
The Myanmar Times also reported that Gelobava’s husband, Thailand’s No. 1 tennis player, Paradorn Srichaphan, would join her in Myanmar’s capital, Yangon
A staff member of Myanmar Lay Nying Co, Ltd in Rangoon told Chiang Mai-based The Irrawaddy journal that the former Miss Universe was invited to attend and serve as a judge at the beauty contest known as “Ancient Beauty,” to be held at the Sedona Hotel in Yangon.
The staff member said Glebova was listed in the invitation, but it was uncertain if she would attend or not. She said, “It is sure that Glebova was invited. And we also heard that she will come, but we are not sure on that. We have to wait and see.”
Three former Miss Thailand's were also invited to serve as judges, she said.
In February 2007, Glebova published a book, Healthy Happy Beautiful, which became a best seller.
