Subject: Miss Bahamas World 2010 contestants Author: Gabriella [Edit] Date Posted: Sunday, October 25, 04:47:50pm Contestants that I would love to see compete in Miss Bahamas World 2010 Camille Kenney, Amanda Appleyard, Kendra Wilkinson, Shenique Whymms, Dashanique Poitier, Sasha Scott, Jade Strachan & Holly Marshall. Replies: Also I would add Leandra Pratt, Enna Thomas & Sharon Rolle (NT) -- Gabriella, Sunday, October 25, 04:49:19pm Camille Kenny and Kendra isnt my cup of tea when it comes to Miss World, shes more Miss Universe. Jade Strachan and Enna Thomas has potential but needs to work on her lower body and pageantry skills. Sasha Scott needs to work on her body and pageantry skills- I honestly dont see her as a contender. (NT) -- Truth, Sunday, October 25, 10:24:21pm I think Sasha Scott has allot of potential. She is definatly Miss World material. Shorter girls & Caribbean girls do better at Miss World. I think her Mom Tina had gone to Miss World instead of Miss Universe in 1983 she would have done well. Sasha have not seen her recently may need to loose a little wieght but other wisw she could do well at Miss World. (NT) -- Doug, Sunday, October 25, 11:03:09pm Think Camille, Kendra & Jade, should stick with Universe competition. -- This is a nice thought, Tuesday, October 27, 05:07:36pm Yup! (NT) -- Truth, Tuesday, October 27, 06:10:06pm (suck teeth) -- KIRKLAND (lord give we vision lest we perish), Wednesday, October 28, 06:36:05am I think they should try to get a girl from each year who didn't make the top five and who has really great potential. -- Lawrence, Wednesday, October 28, 11:52:44pm

Subject: Miss Earth Netherlands 2009, Sabrina Anijs Revelations Author: WE [Edit] Date Posted: Saturday, October 24, 11:38:47pm Miss Earth Netherlands 2009, Sabrina Anijs Revelations Written by Woman of the Earth How important is winning the Miss Earth crown to you? Why? "First of all, I want to say that I’m feeling very privileged that I will represent my country and myself at the Miss Earth pageant; to be one of the women who are trying to help our environment, is one of the best things I can imagine. The Miss Earth pageant is one of the biggest beauty pageants in the whole world. But the thing that makes this the most beautiful pageant is that it stands for a cause for the environment. It’s true, the whole world has beautiful women, but when we can use beauty to improve our environment, why shouldn’t we do that? Beauty begins from the inside. When you have a good heart, are honest and be caring for your environment and your loved ones, you are very beautiful. For me the Miss Earth crown is very important. I know that I will do more than my best to represent the Miss Earth title and with full commitment I will try to bring a message to the whole earth. As I have said before, it’s not difficult to contribute to our environment. For me it’s important that everyone realizes it. I definitely think that the Miss Earth crown will help me send this message to the whole world."

According to the News she will be presenting prizes at a Basra Fundraiser at Old For Bay on November 7th.

When does Amanda leave for Miss International?. Replies: According to NU Woman magazine's Interview with Kiara Sherman she said the Committee had many things planned for her for the year. Why have we not see or heard of Kiara doing anything?. Only one small article with picture of Kiara, Amanda & Krystal suppossidly visiting schools in the Bahamas?. It may have been ZNS news?. Why has Kiara not been publicized in the papers since Miss Universe?.Why is Amanda presenting Prizes for Basra and not Kiara?. Why has the MBU website not been updated since MB contest?. (NT) -- Terrance, Saturday, October 24, 10:42:42pm You want me answer that nicely? (NT) -- Truth, Sunday, October 25, 12:17:08am Yes please answer nicely and gently.

Subject: Press release Author: MBO [Edit] Date Posted: Thursday, October 22, 03:28:05pm For immediate release Miss Bahamas World raising money for The Beacon School; Special Needs Students to Benefit from Major Fundraiser Nassau, Bahamas (MBO) October 22, 2008 – To Miss Bahamas World 2009 Joanna Brown, Beauty with a Purpose is more than just a slogan. The goodwill ambassador is spearheading a project that is designed to raise money for mentally challenged students. The Grand Bahama native is inviting Bahamians to join her on October 30th for High Tea and high fashion in a major fundraiser at Government House on behalf of The Beacon School. The Beacon School was opened in 1998 for the mentally challenged. Located in Freeport, the school was formerly known as the School for Exceptional Children. The school prepares its students for life after school, and in some cases, its students are returned to mainstream education in schools like Jack Hayward, St. Georges, Eight Mile Rock High and even in private institutions. The Beacon School offers technical and vocational training in addition to the core academic subjects like language arts, mathematics and social sciences. The technical and vocational curriculum offerings include computer enrichment, cosmetology, home economics, pottery and agriculture and the courses are integral to the development of daily and independent living skills in the school’s students. The school is committed in the belief that there is something that every child can do. A total of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) is needed to establish an arts and crafts center at the school, which administrators believe can further help students to prepare for productive living. A building just across the street from the school has been earmarked for this center, however it requires some work. The money raised will go towards upgrading the building, as well as providing the supplies for the center, where students will be taught to make commercial jams and jellies, pottery and other artworks for sale. A small shop selling the items created by the students will also be housed in the building. This is the second consecutive year that the Miss Bahamas Organization has partnered with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism to stage a Miss Bahamas World/People to People Tea Party and fashion show. The event will be held on Friday October 30th from 4 to 6 p.m. at historic Government House. Patrons attending the fundraiser will be treated to a Beat Retreat by the Royal Bahamas Police Force Band, as well as entertained by the likes of the Royal Bahamas Police Force Pop Band, and Miss Bahamas World Talent Winner Devera Pinder. Also on display will be fabulous Androsia and Bahama Hand print fashions. Patrons attending the event will be the first to see Miss Bahamas World’s wardrobe for her month long stay in South Africa at this year’s Miss World competition. In addition to raising funds for The Beacon School through the silent auction, Miss Bahamas World will also lead the charge for another initiative that will involve retail shoppers. More information on that second phase of her fundraising efforts will be announced soon. Tickets can be purchased at the event, but those planning on attending are advised to R.S.V.P. to the Miss Bahamas Organization at their email address info@missbahamas.net in order reserve seats. Organizers say while they realize that everyone is feeling the pinch of these tough economic times, they hope that Bahamians will support this worthy cause because by doing so, they will be helping others who are in even more need than they are. Joanna Brown leaves for Miss World on November 4th. Contact: Jerome Sawyer Manager, Media Relations (242) 502-3800 jsawyer@missbahamas.net Replies: You know why I don't think we do well with Beauty with a purpose because it's not the Queen promoting the event, What is the Queen doing besides putting on her Wardrobe what leg work for this event is she doing. Did she physically go to the beacon School and help with the Labour of putting the Art and craft workshop together, Did she go to the places that are sponsoring the silent Auction it clearly states that this event is being done inconjunction with the Ministry of Tourisim, I could be wrong but I think last year and this year Michelle Malcom is doing the bulk of the work I can't tell how much purpose Joanna has when her project doesn't come across like she has done it herself (read more inside) -- Constructive Criticism, Thursday, October 22, 04:22:59pm I think the Queen is doing allot and is guided by the Committee who does a wonderful Job in prommoting her. Love Joanna. I see a winner her. (NT) -- Gaynelle, Thursday, October 22, 04:26:22pm Ummmm, maybe u need to stop jumpin to conclusions and wait to see what they do! How u know Joanna een been to the school? How u know what she been doin? Joanna spent time since she win in Freeport. How u know she didn't go to the school when she was there? How u know she doesn't still plan to go? I could see u makin noise after the project finish if u don't see these things. But u see one invite and u carryin on like a natural a$$! U need to relax yasef and wait to see what the girl doin and stop tryin to be critical for nothin! (NT) -- Yall really gat some deep issue dred!, Thursday, October 22, 05:35:29pm I feel both of you guys are right. Yes you shouldnt jump to conclusions and yes she should PROMOTE her project more. BOTH OF YAL are damn right! ...... I get exactly what yal two are saying. But to the Second person um I feel MBO and Joanna shouldve market her beauty with a purpose more making it NATIONAL. And to the first person she hasnt finish her project yet so theres more time and room for improvements. Joanna needs this beauty with a purpose project to get a spot in the top 15 because her competition is very very very TOUGH. (NT) -- Truth, Friday, October 23, 12:14:54am That long old press release and yal aint state nothing bout what the girl actually did for the school, the only thing this long press release telling me is she pick the Beacon School and she want to donate money to them, If they trying to show she bout purpose IF she been there and I MEAN been there like actually laborly did work then friggin state it how u gon promote a girl and only make it sound like she pick some people to give money too(read inside) -- Constructive Criticism, Friday, October 23, 12:46:16am Joanna face lil' bit too long and too fat on dis picture here (suck teet). (NT) -- XoXo, Thursday, October 22, 05:13:53pm Exactly and a good much of yal think she dont need to loose more weight. I personally feel she needs to loose like 10 more lbs and do alot of toning because her arms look chunky and the rest of her body looks chunky. (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 22, 06:05:48pm I oh so Agree -- Ditto, Friday, October 23, 12:47:57am I dont think Joanna and co understand how much pressure they have this year. Kendra (non-finalist MBW) placed at her international pageant and so did Dashonique Poiter (2nd Runner up). There are alot of pressure for Joanna and Llatera to at-least get SOMETHING'. Joanna screams Miss World however if it was up to me I wouldnt let her win this year and work with her for 2 years to get her body in order and her beauty with a purpose campaign. Dont get me wrong I am a supporter of Joanna and I truely see potential but from this moment I see Dominican Republic, Barbados can easily place. And countries like Aruba, Curaco and Puerto Rico which can easily place. Miss Bahamas World have a good much of competition. (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 22, 06:17:17pm DAMMIT PEOPLE! First of all you can tell this is a bad created invitation and her body looks stretch....i agree the hair isn't WOW....Third yall always running on but ohhh dey should work on her for two years and then send her...PEOPLE PEOPLE LETS NOT BE IGNORANT..yeah the 1st /2nd runner up placed MAYBE that was their PAGEANT doesn't necessarily mean they would of placed in WORLD...and to top it off.... you have to take thsese girls as they come..ain't much girl these dayz interested in pageants (bcuz dey feel they are rigged)... they more interested in boys and babies! yall really doing like dese girl waiting patiently to be selected..anybody tryna join dese pageants.. plz (NT) -- judy, Friday, October 23, 10:49:56am her hair looks horrible an she still look so young...i favor her alot dou...still tink she shudda enter miss teen bahamas first.. (NT) -- SHUTUP, Thursday, October 22, 10:37:03pm You understand!!!! I really like the girl but im very nervous. Im a person who feel more comfortable with VETERANS. I mean Joanna a very young girl but i wouldve perfer if she had EXPERIENCE. Yes Age is a factor however I wouldve feel more better if she was one of Theodore's queens. (NT) -- Truth, Friday, October 23, 12:07:21am Why would you feel better is she was one of Theo's Queens?. What's so special about Theo?. Michelle's Queens have done well. Deandrea made the Top 15 at Top Model of the World. Tinnyse Johnson while she did not place at Miss World was a strong favourite with the bookmakers. Michelle's girl Dashanique and Kendra both did well Internationaly. Why still with vetrians sometimes fresh new faces do well. Countries like Tanazania & Angola have emerged recently, The Bahamas can emerge also. Barbados is nice and like the Bahamas has only placed in the seni-finals in Miss World in 1974. She was a white Barbadian not that this means anything. ive Joanna and the Bahamas a chance. (NT) -- Gordie, Friday, October 23, 07:20:47am Um Barbados was in the TOP 15 last year as well 2008, So that's 2 for them with1974 year and one for us! -- Everyone is a Pageant Historian lol, Friday, October 23, 07:54:43am The reason I would Prefer keyword prefer if she was Theo's queen is because I know she would have some sort of international experience. I dont want our queens to have a culture shock.... I want them to know how to network. Thats one of the reasons why Miss T&T placed high. If Miss Brazil is the media's favorite I expect our queen to be scene with so she can get noticed too. Also with Theo's queens they always have pageantry skills. Small pageants help mold a Miss World or Miss Universe (NT) -- Truth, Friday, October 23, 04:10:53pm Yeah in 2008 Barbados Won the Talent contest and the winner Automaticaly advances to the Top 15 0therwise she might not have placed. It might suprise you to know that the Bahamas won the Talent Award at Miss World in 1973. Miss Commonwealth Bahamas 1973 Deborah "Debbie" Louise Issacs won the Talent contest at Miss World. Back then the Talent contest was only held just for fun. The Talent contest was started in 1972 by the USA rep Lynda Carter who went on to play Wonder Woman in the TV series. (NT) -- Bahamas Historian., Friday, October 23, 10:36:45am there would have been nothing wrong if she was to enter theos pageant MTBW.it would have gave her more experience an evening better grooming.Notice you ever saw one of theos queens looking bad?never![unless they got detroned or year of reign is up!]Theo's special training would ahve add spice to her fire..and she would have been on top of all these so call beauty queenz! (NT) -- SHUTUP, Friday, October 23, 09:11:22pm Theo seems to have problems with most of his queens and dethrones them. who wants to be involved with somebody like that?. (NT) -- Gordie, Saturday, October 24, 07:36:12am Well in case you didnt know Kendra to Shanae are big time supporters of Theodore. When they are town they help out despite.... Now Theo shouldve give them a LIL break but he has every right because a MISS TEEN standards should be much higher than a MIss World or Miss Universe. Just look at um um Cindy Thomphson last queen Diranne Tynes now girls like that dont even needs to be joining pageants. If there are provocative pictures of a teen drinking or dancing vulgar that means of dethroning. (NT) -- Truth, Saturday, October 24, 11:20:38am

I saw her in star dust on east street and oh boy she looks old. And to my dear Anya Watkins who is pregnant. (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 22, 06:20:55pm So what if Anya Watkins WAS pregnant? She is a MARRIED woman! She and her husband have a beautiful little boy. So what's your point? (NT) -- ?????, Thursday, October 22, 06:32:36pm SMT SHUT UP !!

Freddie Lightbourne beat out ten finalists in the 2009 Mr. Caribbean International Competition at Hedonism III in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, to become to the 2009/2010 Mr. Caribbean International Winner. The theme for this year's competition was "The Ultimate 007 of the Caribbean". Freddie competed against national winners from Canada, the United States, and The Caribbean in preliminary physique and talent competitions, a rigorous fitness challenge, blind date competition, judges interview, and the much anticipated Final Night Competition, on Saturday, October 10th, 2009. As one of the top five preliminary talent winners, Freddie performed a spellbinding and captivating fire dance routine in the Final Night Competition. Freddie was also a preliminary finalist in the Fitness Challenge and Physique Competitions. In one of the most competitive Mr. Caribbean International Competitions, Freddie was announced one of the top five finalists with the delegates from the USA, Canada, Guyana, and Cuba. Matthew Simon of Guyana was second runner-up, Veniston Johnson of the USA was first runner-up, and Freddie Lightbourne was the overall winner. In addition to being the cover model for the 2011 Mr. Caribbean International Swimsuit Calendar, Freddie wins numerous cash prizes and awards and travel throughout the year.

I know Joanna as Miss World will be based in London and Travel the World for a year. I am not sure about Amanda. She may spend time in Japan home of Miss International?. (NT) -- Lou, Monday, October 19, 12:51:46pm Miss International is November 28th & Miss World is December 12th. They close to each other. I doubt if Amanda wins Miss International that she will be able to compete in the World Festival Queen pageant in Manila and I guess it will be to late to send somebody else?.

SHE WILL BE A FORCE TO BE RECONCILED WITH COME MISS WORLD 2010. -- Truth, Friday, October 16, 06:39:15pm "Truth"....you's ma jack and all...and I love your posts....but the cliche should read "SHE WILL BE A FORCE TO BE 'RECKONED' WITH".....AND I AGREE TOTALLY....however to reconcile means to make ammends, to forgive, "bury the hatchet"..."we reconciled"..."we let bygones be bygones".... (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Hey it happens to the best of us...I mix up words at times as well!!!", Friday, October 16, 08:48:39pm Your right!!!.... I dont get why they think she shouldve won MBU when shes not Miss Universe material.... shes more Miss World. (NT) -- Truth, Saturday, October 17, 10:43:58am huh? -- KIRKLAND (....), Saturday, October 17, 08:42:49pm chal kirkland i was thinking the same thing. i don't like this pic, her face looks fat and the makeup is ridiculous. (NT) -- Miss B, Sunday, October 18, 01:20:25am That's because it is HEAVILY PHOTOSHOPPED! (NT) -- Heavy hand, Sunday, October 18, 09:56:58am OMG this Amanda? (NT) -- Truth, Sunday, October 18, 11:02:27am The Hair Color and everything was changed in this photo. She looks Geourgous in the photo. Don't know why the Idiot who posted this photo changed it. (NT) -- Gaynelle, Sunday, October 18, 02:16:47pm FAVOURED TO WIN BY WHICH SITES??????????????????????????? the usual bla bla bla nonsense again, dont get me wrong D gal cute but she not the smoothest pebble on the beach + Black girls never do well in Asia in general, and deffinately not in China!....... Dem nah want us fey win nottin' even if ah only 6 black gal turn up for the contes inna China, Black gal ah still nah go win the contest, dem a go make up some mago mago politics and say dem can't deside so no winner rather than have Black gal Win (NT) -- toptop, Sunday, October 18, 09:52:05pm Miss Colombia a Black girl won in 2004. A girl from Guadelope made the semi-finals in 2006. Miss Senegal has made the semi-finals twice. The contest is now opening up. Amanda Is Bi -Racial and looks more on the whiter side which could help here. Amanda has that exotic look that appeals to everybody and I think she will appeal to the Chinease, Japenease & Asians. She has the personality to march. Amanda is very Intelligent. Amanda has what it takes to win. (NT) -- Obie, Sunday, October 18, 11:18:25pm YES YES Facts with good analysis. Amanda's major major advantage is her looks. Amanda's beauty is UNIQUE and have you thinking if shes black or white or w.e! My TWO Major concerns about Amanda is 1. Her Personality and 2. Her Body..... Im not sure as yet how she will act among 60+ beautiful girls and will she learn to network. 2. Im worried that she isnt as TONED as she oUght to be and other girls who are As pretty as her can easily place solely because of their bodies. OTHER THAN THAT SHE CAN DO WONDERS and IM MORE THAN HAPPY She didnt win Miss Bahamas Universe because with this experience and exporsurer at a smaller pageant IT CAN DO WONDERS FOR HER in 2010 Miss WORLD! Joanna Is my jack but I personally feel Amanda is more beautiful than her. (NT) -- Truth, Sunday, October 18, 11:30:32pm Miss International is the most Traditional of all Beauty Pageants in the World. Amanda just has to be herself and know how to market herself and she will be okay. (NT) -- Cyprianna, Monday, October 19, 08:14:51am Miss International to serve Dog Meat at this years pageant. A popular dish in China. This not a Joke. They are asking People to boycott the pageant. (NT) -- Lou, Monday, October 19, 11:28:14am Lou ...........................

Subject: DARK HORSE JOANNA! Author: KIRKLAND (watch this girl!!) [Edit] Date Posted: Tuesday, October 13, 06:49:00am there are several reasons i am impressed with joanna and feel good about a secure placement at world...joanna will be the girl that nobody saw coming...there are several factors that i have considered to rationalize my claim and they are a follows... * height/body - 6 footer...a clear standout! ...joanna has taken off a good bit of weight and has also TONED well...her stomach is FLAT, legs are toned and her breasts are at attention (no implants unlike gabby)...her weight is proportionate to her height and this captures a signature appeal for a queen... * all natural - joanna is michelle's LEAST airbrushed queen and most natural...what you see is what you get...that airbrushing has literally killed ada aimee de la cruz, tinnyse, deandrea and anya - this bevy of lovlies all came out at world with amazing perfectly touched photos and presented as 'watered down' versions in real time - again joanna never seems to be wearing hardly any make up...compare for yourself...consistancy is very important and the way a queen 'rolls out' is important if she is to grow on the judges and adoring public alike * angelic youth - joanna is visibly young...she hasnt taken on that 'hardness' as yet...for God's sake she is still growing (smile)...she has a sweet adorable appeal and her beauty is more 'ahhh' than 'woah'...again, this is world and not universe therein lies a big difference - a subdued beauty is prefered at world for sure ethnic appeal... unrehearsed - if you notice joanna doesnt come across robotic...her expressions and tone is spontaneous and unscripted very NOT typical of bahamian queens... with a killer wardrobe and proper styling i expect miss brown to do the bahamas pround...again, the right girl was crowned! Replies: I'm not going to lie in 2007 I wanted Camille Kenny to win but thought Anya Watkins is more Miss World material and should win. I was very please with her performance at Miss World. In 2008 I saw some potential beauties such as Tinnyse, Chrystal, Azaria, Sharranna, and Tiara. I expected Sharranna to win or Chrystal Bethel based upon look and speaking skills.... but unfortunately Tinnyse Johnson won. Tinnyse's problem at Miss world was her makeup, PERSONALITY and speaking skills. Tinnyse is nothing close to a Miss World even though shes beautiful with LBS of makeup or airbrushing which TAKES AWAY from the girls REAL BEAUTY. In 2009 I didnt have any clear winners But Joanna, Llatera, Kendra, Gabrielle,Devera and Dashonique was my favorites.I fell in love with Joana's personality and speaking skills but honestly didnt see her as Miss Bahamas World. Im happy she won but STILL NERVOUS ABOUT HER BODY!!! (NT) -- Truth, Tuesday, October 13, 05:51:20pm Interesting synopsis......I am warming up to Joanna....I do believe that she has shown that she is serious about the crown.....I will watch her some more....and I do think she has a good chance to do well....she just needs to know how to "market" herself when she arrives!!!! (NT) -- We have to be twenty steps says: "I think Joanna can be considered a Dark Horse", Tuesday, October 13, 10:45:43pm YES I agree with the marketing yourself part. Tinnyse should have marjeted herself better. Most of the pictures I saw she was with MIss Cayman Islands. When she first arrived in Johannesburg she was photographed with Miss USA & Venezuela and I thought she was off to a good start but after that she was mostly photographed with Miss Cayman Islands. A Queens to get out there and nix and mingle with all the girls and be photographed with them. Especialy with the bigger pageant Country Power House girls so that People will take notice of her. (NT) -- Sean K, Wednesday, October 14, 06:59:04am For non-pageant countries like The Bahamas...We needs to send girls with PERSONALITY...Anya did it in 2007 but she couldve network even more and Tinnyse didnt do it. I WOULD NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT TIARA COOPER...... HOW CAN WE HONESTLY SEND GIRLS INTERNATIONALY WITH OUT HAVING LEADERSHIP....Tiara was beautiful YES but lack any personality! (NT) -- Truth, Wednesday, October 14, 08:53:14am Trinere Lynes had loads of Personality and mingled with everybody but sadly she did not place at MU 2007. (NT) -- Groupher, Wednesday, October 14, 11:27:14am Anya Watkins was the best. She trully marketed herself. (NT) -- Courtnee, Wednesday, October 14, 12:21:23pm Sweety thats the ONLY THING nice a person could say about Trinere Lynes. She will forever be the WORSTE MISS BAHAMAS UNIVERSE EVER!!!!!!!! Her or Nadia Johnson. Dont get me started on Trinere Lyness though.... Shes not pretty, shes VERY VERY short and she sounds dumb! And for Courtney.... YES ANYA IS SURELY THE BEST MISS BAHAMAS WORLD in YEARS....Her pageantry days are finish though and I wish her THE BEST OF LUCK IN HER ENDERVOUS.... We needs to scout some queens from Highschool in the family islands and Freport and SOME TRUE BEAUTIES FROM SCHOOLS OUT OF THE EAST... KINGSWAY TO SAC TO STANDREWS to ST ANNES to even Faith Temple. BEAUTY along with Brains for most! (NT) -- Truth, Wednesday, October 14, 01:55:22pm Why are you guys always brining the short issue up, Ask God why he did not make everybody in the world tall?. (NT) -- Courtnee, Wednesday, October 14, 02:05:06pm Courtnee, give it a rest honey! Yes, God made people short, but that doesn't mean that they have to be beauty queens. It's just like a six foot tall man questioning why he can't be a jockey! God made him 6 feet tall, but that don't mean he could be a jockey. In today's world, beauty queens are generally tall... the shortest they come is 5' 7". If we want to get serious about pageants, it don't make no sense we send a short girl, because all she will be doing is going on vacation. That's just the reality, like it or not. So please, give it a rest. A short girl could go do something else! (NT) -- Tired of this silly argument!, Wednesday, October 14, 04:22:10pm NO NO YOU NEEDS TO BREAK IT DOWN for them....5'5 or less IN MISS UNIVERSE??????????? GET REAL PEOPLE!!!! (NT) -- Truth, Wednesday, October 14, 05:44:55pm YES BUT BEAUTY is BEAUTY and some SHort Women are Queens more Queenly than some tall Women. (NT) -- Courtnee, Wednesday, October 14, 07:20:27pm ARE YOU SAYING SHORT WOMEN ARE UGLY AND NOT QUEENS. (NT) -- Courtnee, Wednesday, October 14, 07:21:32pm No I'm saying Height is a MUST in Miss Universe. Height is a PLUS in Miss World..... Just look at Miss Universe stats under the current management. My question for you is.... Are all full figured women are Miss Universe Material?? NO.... the same thing with a 5'4 dumb girl who wants to get in the Late Micheal Jackson's head. (NT) -- Truth, Wednesday, October 14, 08:54:23pm It's not a Plus some taller girls do better but some short girls have done well also. One of the best Miss World winners was Giselle Laronde of Trinidad & Tabago in 1986 who beat out the USA rep Halle Berry another shorter girl. (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 08:34:55am Giselle was only 5" 5". (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 08:37:03am Mudda sick dred! Suck teeth! That was 26 long years ago! Good God, yall slow! Name ONE short queen (below 5' 7") in any of the major pageants IN RECENT TIMES (within the last ten years)! The rest of the world done move on, but u still stuck in 1986! Get over it already! Short it OUT when it comes to international pageants if you want to WIN! (NT) -- Tired of this silly argument!, Thursday, October 15, 11:20:07am Sorry, that should've said 23 years ago instead of 26. But my point is still the same. (NT) -- Tired of this silly argument!, Thursday, October 15, 11:21:35am Ummmm, Halle Berry is 5' 7" (NT) -- Pageant fan, Thursday, October 15, 11:23:51am Well that relively short the same hieght as Miss USA one of the shortest contestants in Miss Universe this year. (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 12:16:25pm Giselle still won right and she was only 5"5". (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 12:17:12pm Yeah... TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO! (NT) -- Give it a rest!, Thursday, October 15, 02:28:26pm Courtnee Didnt you disagree with what I said about Trinere Lyne's Height when she was in MISS UNIVERSE and NOT MISS WORLD...UNDERSTAND What Im trying to say to you. From 1996 just look at the STATS of former Miss Universe. The reason i said 1996 is because thats when TRUMP was in charge of Miss Universe. OK What ME and YOU might that are Miss Universe might be TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT DONALD TRUMP's ORGANIZATION HAVE.... What me and you think DONT COUNT... Trump Management COUNTS!.....Miss Universe 1996-2009 are MOSTLY 5'7+ and won when they were Less than 21 years. OKKKKK WHAT MISS UNIVERSE(DONALD TRUMP)CRITERIA of a beauty IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT than MISS WORLD. (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 15, 03:18:24pm **OK What ME and YOU might THINK a TYPICAL Miss Universe should be and Donald Trump disagree (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 15, 03:20:24pm WE MUST GET FACTS AND PUT IT IN OUR HEADS.... In Pageantry Height is a mUST Nowadays..... ITS MADATORY for MISS UNIVERSE..... NOW MISS WORLD its a HUGE PLUS and Yes girls do get disfranchised based upon their HEIGHT HOWEVERRRRRRRRRR THE CHANCES of a Short Girl to win or place high is VERY VERY SLIM BUT POSSIBLE.... Gabrielle Walcott in 2008 BROUGHT ALL THE ATTRIBUTES of a GREAT MISS WORLD.... She participated and was very successful in ALMOST EVERY FAST TRACK EVENT. In case YOU DIDNT KNOW TINNYSE Johnson was RANKED higher than Gabrielle in one of the predictions BUT When the girls went S.A Gabrielle LIGHTed up the room with her PERSONALITY, BODY, BEAUTY, BRAINS, FASHION, and EAGERNESS for EVERY FAST TRACK EVENT. (NT) -- Truth- for a 5'6 girl Miss Universe is DEF. OUT OF THE PICTURE However Miss World is a MAYBE..... In 2008 Chrystal Bethel shouldve been Miss bahamas World, Thursday, October 15, 03:26:22pm There is a first time for everything and a short girl could win Miss Universe and maybe even next year who knows. (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 03:50:11pm Well u go ahead having that mind set whats next a fat gurl is going to win Miss Universe? (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 15, 04:37:36pm You know Courtnee...what you're not understanding about pageantry is this: 1. There is such a thing called "Sash Factor"...don't let anyone tell that it's a myth...that is the TRUTH....a good example would be the NEW MISS UNIVERSE THAT WE HAVE NOW....If her Sash said "Moldova" she wouldn't have won; (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Hope this helps", Thursday, October 15, 06:18:41pm 2. Pageants are a BUSINESS...the reason why more white/latin girls win is because of the "sad" reality that they are "more" "mareketable" internationally and they cater to the countries in the developed world where "BEAUTY and FASHION" are "HUGE INDUSTRIES"....if you know anything about geography you would know that the richest economies in the world are the European/North American Countries, that is why when a woman of colour wins the crown it is such a big "TRIUMPH" and she is considered "EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL" by International Standards...not...Western standards...there is a difference. 3. Pageantry borrows alot from fashion and the world of HIGH FASHION...have you ever seen a 5ft 4 - 5ft 5 runway model???? Not in these recent times....the height requirements for a female runway model is minimum 5ft 9 to 5ft 11/6ft 0" without heels. (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Hope this helps", Thursday, October 15, 06:20:21pm I say all of this to say: 1. The Bahamas is not a sash factor country so in order to get the world's attention our queen must meet the ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS....2. We must not just send a light skinned girl or a dark skinned girl...we must send a girl that THE WORLD CAN ADMIRE AS BEAUTY NO MATTER HER SKIN COLOUR....In my opinion Her facial Features and Beauty as well as a well proportioned, toned healthy body should be her assets to succeed..3. We need the full package, brains, personality, intelligence, wit and sheer elegance. Now, once we've built a name for ourself internationally and our reputation is good then sending a short girl once in a while if she is AMAZING (A LA ANA RITA CONTREAS OF THE DR OR GABBY WALCOTT of T&T) can be justified. (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Hope this helps", Thursday, October 15, 06:21:42pm Seeing how you are new to pageants, take some time out to educate yourself about the REAL WORLD OF PAGEANTRY. A lot of things may SHOCK YOU as some of it is gross, but you will understand why certain countries and ethnicities win certain pageants or place in them. Hope this post helps...Cheers!!! (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Hope this helps", Thursday, October 15, 06:22:08pm Well said but I wanted to point out that in Miss Universe the sash factor happens frequently annually. Secondly WE MUST DIFFERENTIATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISS WORLD and MISS UNIVERSE.... Miss Universe is all about Height, Age, SKINNY body type, PERSONALITY, FIERCE, RUNWAY EXTRAORDINAIRE and Sash Factor. While Miss World is about Beauty, Grace, Humble, Brains, Good Speaking skills, Girl next door appeal and with some other Miss Universe Characteristics. I ALWAYS TRY TO TELL THE NEW PEOPLE that Miss World is basically a Miss America when Miss Universe is basically a Modeling COMPETITION (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 15, 08:20:07pm If it's the Sash factor was does Miss Bahamas even bother taking part in Miss Universe. (NT) -- Courtnee, Thursday, October 15, 10:23:25pm Thats why Miss Universe had 82 contestants and Miss World HAVE 106 CURRENT CONTESTANTS. Keep in mind THATS The CONFIRMED queens THUS far and the pageant is in December. OK Just take a good look at all of the past Miss Universe pageants and NOTICE The Host always says the top 15 are chosen from their preliminaries panels AND MISS UNIVERSE PANEL AKA DONALD TRUMP MANAGEMENT. AND NOTICE that every year USA always in the top 10. If shes FAT, IF shes Ugly, If shes a whore, if shes 5'4. SO GIRL GET WITH THE PROGRAM... LOVE IT or HATE IT!.... ALSO JUST LOOK at the top 15 this year all was 5'8+ (MISS USA WAS THE SHORTEST) and THE girls who got knocked off out of the top 15 were all EUROPEAN GIRLS WHERE DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO SET UP BUSINESS IN... (NT) -- Truth, Thursday, October 15, 11:09:55pm Good question.....YOU SHOULD ASK GAYNELLE THAT QUESTION....CAUSE CLEARLY SHE HASN'T BEEN CONSISTENT IN SENDING QUEENS THAT HAVE MADE ANY KIND OF IMPACT IN MISS UNIVERSE!!!!....ALSO, PAGEANTS MAKE A LOT OF MONEY...SO WHEN YOU HAVE ORGANIZERS THAT'S ONLY INTO MONEY, THAT'S THE REASON WHY "WE HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS"....NEXT THING, THE FRANCHISE FEE AND PARTICIPATION FEE FOR A NATIONAL TITLE HOLDER IN MISS UNIVERSE IS A LOT A LOT A LOT OF MONEY....AND DONALD LOVES THAT!...I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS THAT IF THE ORGANZERS ARE NOT PRODUCTIVE IN PRODUCING A "WORTHY" TITLE-HOLDER THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE A CONTENDER TO PLACE AND WIN....THEN THEY SHOULD STOP SENDING MISS BAHAMAS PERIOD AND USE THE MONEY FOR THE GREATER GOOD AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATION!!!!.... (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Good Question...ASK GAYNELLE", Thursday, October 15, 11:54:16pm YET WE END UP WITH QUEENS LIKE TRINERE, NADIA RODGERS, HALF-STEPPIN SORT OF PRETTY GIRLS LIKE DENIA, SACHA, KIARA AND GIRLS THAT HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL THAT IS NOT EVEN DEVELOPED PROPERLY LIKE NADIA RODGERS-ALBURY AND SAMANTHA CARTER....THE MOST PREPARED QUEEN THAT GAYNELLE HAS SENT IS RACQUEL HORTON!!!!! AND HER YEAR WAS TOUGH BECAUSE THE AVERAGE HEIGHT INTHE TOP 15 WAS 5FT 10" AND SHE STOOD 5FT 7"....HER YEAR WAS THE YEAR OF THE "GLAMAZONS"....EVEN JAMAICA DID VERY VERY WELL THAT YEAR WITH GORGEOUS CHRISTINE STRAW!!!! (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "Good Question...ASK GAYNELLE", Thursday, October 15, 11:55:39pm Correction:....That should read *"YET WE END UP WITH QUEENS LIKE TRINERE, *NADIA JOHNSON".....NOT NADIA RODGERS AS SHE WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MISS BAHAMAS' EVER SENT TO MISS UNIVERSE NEXT TO RACQUEL HORTON!!!! (NT) -- We have to be 20 steps ahead says: "OOOPPSS.....NADIA RODGERS VS. NADIA JOHNSON...NADIA RODGERS WINS!!!!", Thursday, October 15, 11:59:08pm Raquel is not 5' 7"! She is only 5' 5". She short too! (NT) -- Hehehe!, Friday, October 16, 12:21:58am Surprisingly Raquel Horton is one of my Favorite recent Miss Bahamas Universe. I really believe Raquel and Nadia Rodgers Albury were the best recent Miss Bahamas Universe... Also 20 steps IF YOU LOOK AT Gaynell's track-record it seems like the shorter you are the better off you will be. 2009 I honestly feel Camille Kenny, Amanda Appleyard, Aquelle Plakaris, Ife Bethel and Allysa Knowleses or Garelle Hudson shouldve been the top contenders. But it seems like Keira's HEIGHT give her an ADVANTAGE to THE MISS BAHAMAS UNIVERSE. and for that she got what she deserved at Miss Universe. (NT) -- Truth, Friday, October 16, 01:51:12am Hello since 1963 the Bahamas has been sending Queens to MU and non have ever made the semi-finals except for Glennis Knowles in 1999 who placed no 12 overall. Back then they only had a Top 10. (NT) -- Smee, Friday, October 16, 08:18:11am Here how the true results of MBU should have been. 2002 Nadia Rodgers Albury, 2003 Sarah Simpson Beek, 2004 Raquel Horton, 2005 Nadia Cash, 2006 Leandra Pratt, 2007 Sharon Rolle, 2008 Sasha Scott, 2009 Amanda Appleyard. (NT) -- Smee, Friday, October 16, 08:23:27am Your Right But in 2003 it shouldve been Raquel Horton and in 2004 it shouldve been Leslia Miller. Now for 2009 Well Yinno thats a 50/50 thing with me. I strongly believe that Camille Kenny shouldve won and Ife Bethel as 1st runner up and Amanda as 2nd runner up. The main reason is because I feel Amanda's performance was more "MISS WORLD" material AND it wouldve been very difficult for her to score high in Swimwear. And If she was chosen as queen she couldnt loose the amount of weight she needed for Miss Universe which was 3 months later. (NT) -- Truth, Friday, October 16, 01:55:50pm

Subject: bookmakers Author: Sean K [Edit] Date Posted: Thursday, October 15, 03:55:21pm Paddy Bookmakers have Miss Bahamas World & Miss England at an 18-1 chance of winning Miss World. I think closer to the contest Joanna's stats will move way up and she will be a Favourite.

Subject: Miss Grand Bahama Author: Nestor [Edit] Date Posted: Thursday, October 15, 10:46:03am Has there ever been a White Miss Grand Bahama contestant?. Replies: There were a few not as many as Miss Bahamas. In 1983 the year Pamela Parker won there were two White Girls MS. Parotti and another girl forgot her name. Both were Runners-up. In 1986 Miss Freeport Transfer Amber Darville was White she was 2nd Runner-up and winner of both Miss Amity & Miss Photogenic. Also in the mid 1990's there was Lisa Darville she was 2nd Runner-up. I don't know about before 1983. In 1988 Tasha Ramirez was Bi-racial. (NT) -- Bahamas Historian, Thursday, October 15, 12:14:35pm

Wonderful photography Replies: How much is the Magazine and were can you purchase it from?. (NT) -- Doug, Monday, October 05, 08:19:47am So is Kiara working for this E-Life 242 Magazine now. Because she was at Thompson Trading seeking employment last week? How come she is not working for the Ministry of Tourism? (NT) -- Bahamain, Monday, October 05, 08:50:52am I guess you have to ask the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism that question?. Maybe now that Michelle Malcolm is with the Ministry of Tourism they only want to hire Miss Bahamas World winners?. In the past Miss Bahamas winners worked with the Ministry of Tourism but the Miss Commonwealth Bahamas winners did not have employement. (NT) -- Doug, Monday, October 05, 10:54:43am Doug you have to be more careful with statements like that... As far as Im concern Deandra Concliff, Anya Watkins and Tinnyse Johnson are NOT employed by the ministry of Tourism. I noticed the last time that A Miss Bahamas UNIVERSE queen was employed by Ministry of Tourism was Samatha Carter. In 2007 Trinere Tynes (THE WORST MISS BAHAMAS EVER!!!) was crowned and trust me and you ..... who would want her working with tourist?..... OH YES I'm Not sure if Deandra Concliff works there or ever worked there but I know Tinnyse and Anya dont work their. (NT) -- Truth, Monday, October 05, 11:18:01am Well MBW has never had a Queen working at the ministry of tourism. But MBU do. Samantha Carter and Raquel Horten (NT) -- 1111111, Monday, October 05, 12:10:12pm THANK-YOU!!!! (NT) -- Truth, Monday, October 05, 12:11:53pm You ALL need to get your facts straight. MBW Joanna Brown was employed at the Ministry of Tourism this summer, as well as MBI Amanda Appleyard. So please people, get it right. (NT) -- Get it RIGHT, Monday, October 05, 01:03:00pm FOR YOUR INFORMATION THEY WERENT PERMANENT JOBS THEY WERE TEMP JOBS. PLEASE THESE GIRL NEED PERMANENT JOBS JUST LIKE SAMAMTHA AND RAQUEL. EVERYONE KNOW THEY WERE IMPLOYED THERE FOR THE SUMMER. (NT) -- 1111111, Monday, October 05, 02:29:36pm At one time the Miss Bahamas winners were employeed full time with the Ministry of Tourism and travelled allot for them. In Jamaica both there Queens for Miss World & Miss Universe work for the department of Tourism in Jamaica. How do we expect our girls to do well Internationaly if they don't have the full support from the Bahamas Goverment and the Tourism Ministry (NT) -- Doug, Monday, October 05, 03:11:11pm Were do you get copies of this magazine from. United Bookshop does not have it. Also what is the cost.
