A minute of your time Time to click on Sarah’s video again! I’m determined we win the YouTube views cleanly (without using automated scripts, like one certain Asian country).
It’s called the popular vote, not the automated vote This is Malaysia’s idea of playing fair in the popular vote at World Miss University, with a stated aim of beating New Zealand’s legitimately acquired 10,300 views. I wonder how sour the victory will be if Miss Malaysia takes it (which she will at the rate of increase using automated scripts). So, please vote for Sarah, Miss New Zealand, the legit way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Qb2XbFSUA
Sprung I was notified of a second poll at World Miss University all of a sudden yesterday, despite checking the WMU 2012 site daily for its existence. And this poll already has front-runners from countries which probably knew ahead of us—Poland, Russia, and, of course, the host country, Korea, which have votes in the hundreds or thousands.
Sarah was down at number 25, but with a bit of Facebook-soliciting in the small hours, she got to number 10 before I went to bed at 5 a.m. With a bit more today, she’s now at number 6. If you could, please click on the ‘Vote’ button next to her name—it’s faster than watching her YouTube video (which you should still do if you are like me!).
I’ll cry foul if all of a sudden this other poll becomes the criterion for the popular vote, especially what Sarah was told. The WMU site still refers to YouTube voting, so let’s hope that that’s still the case instead of a situation where it’s very easy to do some ballot-stuffing using anonymous proxies.
Setting records Sarah’s going to be the first to cross 10,000 views—in large part through the readers of our publications, including Lucire—on her World Miss University YouTube video tonight. Please keep those clicks coming for Miss New Zealand!

The Miss Universe New Zealand farce Sums it up nicely.
New ads With the next Miss New Zealand pageant around the corner, it was time to update the ads. The old ones with Katie Taylor still worked conceptually, although the new Priyani Puketapu ones had to be created from scratch with (nearly) the same typefaces.
The Fairfax Press continues to love me Actually, the organizers never said this, so putting it in quotation marks is a bit strange. Specifically, I said it, though I attributed it to all the judges. The list continues to grow, and it makes you wonder.
