t was an unexpected call. Mr. L, a member of a reputable Thai pageant forum was aghast to know that it was a direct call from Tokyo with Miss International people on the other end of the line. Mr. L has developed a good relationship with the pageant for years and the call was a bit perplexing.
Turns out that there was indeed something that should be of a real concern. A Thai organization had approached the Miss International pageant for a hostile takeover. As reliable sources told Missosology, the organization was willing to dole out cash for the Miss International franchise in Thailand. Mr. L was caught off guard since franchise fee was an alien concept at the Miss International pageant. The money involved in the hostile takeover was something that Mr. L couldn’t afford.
