ry days of the Philippines in international pageants. Three Miss International crowns, two Miss Universe titles, and a number of runner-up and semi-final fini- shes all seemed to strengthen the country's growing reputation as a pageant powerhouse. Sad to say, the

ry has had was way back in 1979, when Melanie Marquez was crowned Miss International in Tokyo.

80's Commercial Model
Well, there's the elbow length gloves, the
one shouldered cut of the outfit with match-
ing wispy stole, the mega dangling earrings, and of course, the typical hairstyle of that
decade, the bouffant beehive! Dear, dear
