Wait. Hold back your gasps, shrieks or
whispers of disbelief. These super-duper dudes are for real. In fact, you can
catch a generous number of these drop-dead gorgeous guys live in person - if
you are in Guayaquil, Ecuador from October 4-17, 2015. They are contestants in the
ongoing 2nd edition of Mr. Real Universe pageant.
Incidentally, our guy Mark Andrew
Baron, Mr. Real Universe – Philippines, is the first and only candidate from
Southeast Asia. Can he achieve another first by bringing home the 2015 grand
winner trophy? If you weren’t able to spot him yet, he’s rightmost in the photo
above in his signature pose.
Only on its second cycle, the Ecuador produced
pageant seems to be heating up steam to sufficiently and swiftly propel it toward
becoming part of the big league pageants. Though not as widely or globally
represented at the moment, the remarkable quality of its participants by and
large, especially in the good looks and masculinity department, cannot be simply
ignored. If it steadily keeps improving and growing, it may just be able to outclass
its contemporary rival pageants and be on its way to stardom. If disregarded by other newbie pageants, they
may sooner than later find it really hard to beat Mr. Real Universe in the dash
to the big league.
