Subject: Great News for the Bahamas. . . Michelle Malcolm and her organization (Miss Bahamas Organization) has acquired the Miss Bahamas Universe franchise! Therefore, beginning this year, one young lady will be properly trained and will compete at both the Miss Universe pageant and the Miss World pageant(unless she wins the Miss Universe crown which is the first of her two pageants). Miss Bahamas will finally be a strong force at Miss Universe. Watch out Trinidad/Tobago, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic!

Author Host/IP: NoHost/65.198.212.194
Nassau, Bahamas (MBO) January 12, 2010 – The Miss Bahamas Organization® (MBO) has acquired the Miss Universe franchise, making it the first organization in the history of Bahamian pageantry to hold both the Miss Universe and Miss World licenses concurrently. Under the theme Timeless Beauty, the pageant will select one winner who will compete in both the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants – joining the ranks of Ava Burke Thompson - the only Bahamian woman to do so to date.

“This is an exciting time for us,” says MBO President Michelle Malcolm who never gave up on the vision of having both international franchises under her directorship. “By acquiring this franchise, we will now be able to crown one Miss Bahamas, and in so doing hopefully rid the Bahamas of all the confusion about which is the real national pageant system in the country,” she says. “Ever since our launch back in 2005, we were hopeful that the day would come when we could be managing both Miss World and Miss Universe in the Bahamas. And now that day is finally here.”

The 2010 pageant is set for April 25 and eligible young women are encouraged to apply to enter quickly as there is only a two-and-a-half-week window to do so before the pageant’s contestants screening and training regimen begins. The age limit has been raised from 17 to 18, which is the starting age of the Miss Universe pageant. Additionally, MBO’s minimum height requirement has been adjusted from 5’ 5” to 5’ 3” to allow for wider participation. “A few of our Regional Directors have been after us for a while to relax our height limits, so that they could have an easier time of choosing a representative,” said Miss Malcolm. Interested young women can apply online at MBO’s website www.missbahamas.net. “We are looking for the complete package,” she says, “someone who can make her presence felt at both international pageants, and hopefully capture one of the two crowns for the Bahamas.”

Strategic partnerships are being formed to ensure that the new Miss Bahamas receives a prize package like none before her. “Getting the opportunity to compete in both Miss Universe and Miss World is thrilling within itself,” says Miss Malcolm, “however that’s just the beginning of the amazing prize package that awaits our new queen.”

Plans are underway to make the historic 2010 Miss Bahamas Beauty Pageant a grand affair. During the course of the events, past queens from both the Miss Bahamas and Miss Commonwealth Bahamas pageants of yesteryear will be honored. Additionally, they will be invited to play an active role in the Miss Bahamas Foundation, which will focus on raising money for charitable endeavors throughout the Bahamas.

The news of this acquisition comes on the heels of a stellar performance by Joanna Brown at the Miss World pageant this past December. Although she did not become a semifinalist, Joanna made her presence felt by placing 4th in the Beauty with a Purpose competition, and by becoming a finalist in the Talent Competition, and a semifinalist in the Sportswoman competition. “Joanna has set the bar very high for the queens who follow her,” says Miss Malcolm. “We expect no less than the very best a young lady has to offer, because that after all is what we are giving to her.”

Entrants should be beautiful in form and face, graceful, intelligent and charming, while possessing poise, a pleasing character, and high moral convictions. Candidates must be single, must not have children, nor have ever been pregnant or given birth. Minimum height requirement is 5’ 3” and maximum height requirement is 6’ 2”. Weight must be proportionate to height. Candidates should be of Bahamian ancestry, or citizens of The Bahamas. The Miss Bahamas Organization® reserves the right to refuse an application or dismiss a contestant, using the Organization’s codes and regulations as the basis for its decision. Applicant must submit a headshot and a full body shot of her own choice for review with her application. The deadline for entry is January 29, 2010.

I am mad, effing mad. I have stayed off this board for the past two months until the debacle of Miss World was over, now it is time for me to VENT!!!!!!

First who take my parents and siblings tax money to fund this "queen". My parents work too hard to see their money go to waste!!!

Second I thought this girl was supposed to be smart. Every interview that she gave she sound like a babbling baboon!!

Third the government spent so much time BSing Peter that he gave up the franchise and this amateur come in and totally ruined our very stellar track record that we had the past two years - Two Queens of the Caribbean in a row people!!!!!

Fourth Ashanna you should have had a better showing that. Even if you weren't in contention you should have at least had a better interview, gown something!!!!

Miss Universe anyone??????????????????

Thankfully we can now look on to Miss Universe 2010. I am thankful we have a team of professionals running the Miss Universe franchise. La Toya is going to be a top contender for the crown next year.

[> [> Subject: Seasons Greetings Evaluator...just learnt that Sushmita Sen has been awarded India's franchise for Miss Universe. So I think it's fair to say that we can expect India to turn the heat up next year. Also, perhaps our new Miss World franchise holder would have learnt a lesson this year. In all honesty, I don't think he has what it takes (KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WISE) to bring home another Miss World to T&T. We see again this year that Miss World is choosing a particular kind of beauty. We need to think about choosing a girl like looking for pearls...very simple understated beauty but very hard to find.

And seasons greetings to everyone else. I do expect India to be strong next year. They have not been doing so well lately. With Sushmita taking over I think she will do a good job.

As for the Miss World franchise holder for Trinidad and Tobago. Like you said, maybe he has learned from this experience. Only time will tell. He needs to seek help from people who know what is required to succeed.

Commentary on Miss World:
I did not see Miss Gibraltar coming there. I suppose it's because we admittedly have a tendency to focus on the popular countries, aka sash factor. In the end Julia chooses who she wants. Gibraltar fit the mould: young,impressionable, and will listen to Julia. She also has an understated kind of beauty, the kind Julia likes. I too, like her a lot.

Americas
Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Panama, Brazil: Five Americas out of 16 semifinalists is phenomenal but 4 in the final 7 is even more phenomenal! I was glad Mexico got Queen of the Americas. Her final answer, while it was in Spanish, wasn't great. I loved Panama and was gladly shocked she was in the finals. She should have answered in Spanish. Canada didn't do it for me. She was mature, articulate and immensely talented, but doesn't do it for me beautywise. Colombia was a shock but she was gorgeous. She also seemed to be the type Julia likes but she lacked spark.I cannot comment on Brazil because I didn't even remember her being there.

Asia/Oceania
India,Korea,Vietnam,Kazakhstan,Japan: A great performance for Asia/ Oceania but none of the five advanced to the finals. Three Orientals, nice change. I quite liked Vietnam, I really hope she gets Continental Queen. I expected Korea to be there too based on my analysis of the fast track events' results. I never even saw Kazakhstan. No opinion on Japan, but she advanced because of the Fast Track. India also did not do it for me. I would not have missed her if she didn't make it to the semis or won Beauty with a Purpose.

Caribbean
Martinique. I thought Martinique was a risky vote, but my instincts told me she would make it. I did think she looked old. But she also seemed to have a lot of charisma. Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Barbados did not make it. What a travesty! What was predicted to be a encouraging year for the Caribbean, turned out to be the biggest WTF moments. It goes to show that the betting houses and blogsites sometimes can be dead wrong. For weeks Puerto Rico was the predicted winner and in the end it was Barbados being touted. I do admit, I thought Barbados would take it. Regarding Ashanna, I have no further comment as we all knew that she needed nothing short of a gigantic miracle. What I did notice was that there was a strong T&T flag presence. I wonder how much dey spend on dem flags? Joke!

Africa
South Africa, Sierra Leone. As usual, Africa is under represented. I expected South Africa to be there and Sierra Leone had to be there as she advanced automatically as a result of the fast track. Other than that, no other African. I thought South Africa nailed her question, at least the second half, but she is not Julia's type, too strong willed. Sierra Leone had no chance.

Europe
Gibraltar,France, Poland: Already commented on Gibraltar, France I loved since MU, was glad she advanced to final 7. I thought she could have won. Her look is softer than South Africa. Poland was not even on my list. But never discount these Central/Eastern European countries like Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovenia.

In the end, I like the winner and I like the runner's up. I really wished France would have gotten Europe Queen of Beauty. But what these results reinforce is that YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE JULIA. The delegate must be beautiful in a soft understated way, articulate but not over confident. early to mid 2os, not be too opinionated, mouldable and most of all, sweet and meek! Where does Ashanna figure in these criteria?

Have a great Christmas and I look forward to the metamorphosis that is going to behold us with LaToya, La Joya! (the jewel)

Fast Track Winners:
Sierra Leone,Canada, Mexico, Japan, Gibraltar

Beauty with a Purpose finalists are: Barbados, Guatemala, India. To be honest, any of the these three can win it. My choice is Barbados,followed by India and Guatemala.

If Barbados wins that, she is in the semifinals. In any case if she doesn't win it, she will be picked by the judges. I am getting the same vibe about her as I did with Gabrielle Walcott last year regarding Beauty with a Purpose. I think Barbados can be Miss World this year.

Ten semifinalists to be chosen by the judges could be
Croatia- I just love her
Puerto Rico is gorgeous and a huge favourite
South Africa is strong too and is on home turf
France must be there
Jamaica could very well be there
Vietnam has been a solid performer
Korea has also been a strong Asian contender
Panama has also been strong
Scotland is a favourite too
Zimbabwe has been solid

Continental Queens
Americas-Mexico
Caribbean-Barbados
Asia-Vietnam
Africa-South Africa
Europe-Croatia

My choices are
1st BARBADOS
2nd CROATIA
3rd SOUTH AFRICA
4th MEXICO
5th VIETNAM

Needless to say, Croatia is my heart favourite which may not be realistic. Her place might actually be realistically filled by France.

Just saw a pic of our representative with vietnam. I must say that her make up is a bit harsh, she needs to soften her features by lightening her eybrows and not lining her lips.I'm, no hair expert but a hair bang may have suit her facial features best.
None the less it take great courage to represent your country and for that I give her kudos for. Just do your best.

Well I guess you guys know by now that Miss Trinidad and Tobago for Miss World 2009, Ashanna Arthur, failed to place in the Miss World's Top Model competition held November 28th. I searched everywhere to get a picture of the gown she had on, but no one seems to know, or no one seems to care. Well I want to know!Can Anyone help me? Anyone knows if we are getting into the semis ever, ever, ever? Ashanna where are you girl? Don't hide from the cameras, embrace it. We need to see you.

Where are the pictures of our representative. Dont they know in order for her to be seen that they have to issue pictures with her in it. Take a clue from Ms Bahamas. There is not one image i have seen so far where she is the focus of the picture. Sigh. Did she get TIDCO financing. If so it is bewildering to me why they did not support Peter and he has the winning formula. Gosh even Barbados this year is using some input from Peter with Magdalene's 2005 replica. Very frustrating. Please someone send her a digital camera

I would bet my last dime that on her return when ask about her experience......her answer would be I had a wonderfull experience met so many interesting people and I hope she thank the government for her vacation.She should be well rested, I am not even sure if she made it out of the hotel. last week I read on Globalbeauties blog where she mention she will post pics if she can find a camera what an embarrassment

Well Madame Butterfly has been leaving loads of comments on other delegates' photos on Global Beauties. Maybe they sent her as an observer this year so she could give first hand insight to the new franchise holder as this is his debut year aka he lacking in the experience department...you never know. Maybe they misinterpreted 'beautiful woman' for 'nice person' I mean if it were me and it were my first time as a franchise holder, first of, I'd research the industry, market, competition with a hawk's eye. Afterall, I'd want to make a GREAT first impression and not get written off from day UNO. I'd like to say I'd be looking for an outstanding beauty as that will be my first criterion. But amongst a room full of beauties, one can easily get lost. I would also remind myself that sometimes though, the-not-so-beautiful girl does win. But she must have some facial appeal in the first place. If I cannot find a beautiful-enough face, I won't be sending a delegate. Whether I lose the money allocated for not spending it, is not my concern. I am here for a Certificate of Excellence, aka to win, and not for a Certificate of Participation, aka a clapper.

For Miss World, once we've sorted out the beauty criterion, we can move down the list....Do we have enough time to awaken a social conscience in her, aka Beauty with a Purpose? And for me, the candidate must take ownership of the project and thus buy-in to the Miss World's philosophy of same. In that sense, it must be a genuine interest on the part of the delegate. I think Gabrielle accomplished this.

Miss World makes it a little easier in a sense as it offers a few other fast track events, but these are not guarantees...Swimmer girl from a few years ago looked like she was constantly drinking snail soup, coz she was Miss Lethargy. She did not look like she wanted to be there. Where did she reach...according to the P&L Statement, more was spent than earned. Bottom Line=Loss. Another liability=all inclusive, all expense paid holiday for her.

Now I look at Keneisha and that woman shone in every single category. How she did not make the finals continues to be one of those things that will befuddle me for the rest of my life. Again, it is my theory that the choice of gown is usually our downfall, the area in which we can crush the competition. It's almost as if we give up the chance by choosing a gown that will single out our girl in a good way. I admit,Caribbean designers are very very talented but they do not have a mainstrean international appeal yet. I loved Keneisha's table cloth/ doily material/ the plastic thingie they put underneath a cake gown. But it did not stand out in a good way on the final stage at Miss World. It was not spectacular. It was wrong! I also felt that her killer asset would always been her flawless ebony complexion,something that should have been captialized on to the max! The lemony dress for Miss Universe looked bland on her that night-for me the colour killed the style and that killed it for the girl. I have absolutely no remorse in stating categorically that I am sending a girl to win the crown for T&T and not to showcase Caribbean Fashion Week. Reminds me of Faye's gown for Miss Universe. Hated the gown but she wore it and worked it elegantly.

To be continued...back to work lol

So check your facts it was not the dress it was the voting are we forgetting the following year ice land won in a granny of the bride badly made number. Don;t blame it on the dress there are always other factors as well.

Lalla, I agree with you to a certain extent. I think there are at least two potential theories regarding how Keneisha ended up in the semis in the first place in Miss World 2004:

So the lines were open to the world to vote for the girl that they wanted to see in the semifinals, that is disregarding the four or five girls who advanced automatically through the fast track events. For Keneisha to advance to the semifinals, she had to have garnered at least the 6th highest number of votes among the remaining 10. The reason I say this is because the delegates with the 5 highest tally of votes advanced to the finals. This means that considering the semifinals, the public voted her in, meaning the voting system worked in her favour!

Theory 2: the rope that acted as her life line in the semis was responsible for her exclusion from the finals. So she got into the semifinals because the worldwide public loved her but other factors came into play. Philippines got into the semifinals because they are notorious for being pageant fanatics. If they messed up the whole Miss Photogenic thing at Miss Universe, how come they didn't secure a final spot for their girl?

The voting thing doesn't hold water for me, for a number of reasons. First and foremost, to think that Julia would leave this whole thing up to the public is ludicrous. Julia picks the winner! These pageants are contrived to the max! Keneisha got into the semis based on international votes, who per se voted for her? Trinis in Trinidad and abroad? Fellow Caribbean countries? Other non white nations? I also don't buy the crap that the votes were determined using a population ratio. Come on, don't you think that after excelling in every single fast track event, her omission from the semis would make a mockery of Miss World? Keneisha was the most consistent performer that year, end of! There is nothing anybody could say that will make me believe Keneisha got in because of votes. Puerto Rico is also notorious for hypervoting, they did not make the semifinals. What about Mexico, their mouths have been watering for the crown forever? While they advanced automatically with Miss Model, not enough votes? What about pageantcental Venezuela? What about India with the second largest population? C'mon, this voting thing had a purpose. At that time, circa 2003 and thereafter, text voting and the like were extremely popular in the UK. It was a way of making the public feel empowered- that the decision was in their hands, when in essence, it was a ploy to extort as much money as possible from the voters...and then the results don't reflect the voting pattern. I don't buy it. I can definitely see Philippines getting in because of votes, I can even see USA and Dominican Republic, China by virtue of their population. Nigeria got in because of votes...no no, let's be realistic. Who would have won Continental Queen of Africa if there was no African semifinalists. Do you also really believe for one second that Peru is a huge pageantaholic population or that the world saw her as the type of beauty queen that would make a great Miss World?

In the final analysis, Julia wanted Keneisha in the semis, and rightfully so, but that is where it ended. After considering all these things, I do stand corrected that maybe great dress or not, it may not have made much difference in Keneisha's placement at Miss World 2004. I beg to differ on Miss Universe.

Hi Evaluator, thanks for these two photos. Very high fashion-very oriental-esque. I think LaToya's undertones are complemented by summer and autumn colours. In that respect, I think the amethyst/ mauve frock looks a lot better on her than the gun-metal looking one. She looks much more vivacious in bright intense colours than matte shadows. With that said, the whitest of whites and deepest of the dark colours will look stunning on her. Metals will have to be very shiny to compete with that already golden complexion.

LOOKING GOOD!

I think the material, the one sleeve, the sequins, the cut of the top and the colour would all suit LaToya very well. I like the sheer effect, embellished with the crystalline sequins and the interplay of colours-black and silver. It would be a dazzling sight. I am also thinking nice high slit to emphasize those skyscraper legs and flowing/dragging in the back...I am not a dressmaker so I don't know what they will have to do to prevent it from getting caught up in the heel a la Crystal Stewart.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_Qq03FRD8 By the way, it's just the colour and the top part I am referring to!

That is very tough to say what I would like to see La Toya's gown or her overall styling be. La Toya is so unique. That many different looks will make her look fabulous. I really liked the style of her hair for the finals of the Miss Trinidad and Tobago pageant. She has such long elegant neck. They will want to showcase that. She is very striking and looks so sophisticated. Yet, she is very modelesque. I think her overall styling needs to reflect all of those attributes.

Well I cannot tell a lie, I was hoping someone would have Ashanna Arthur's name in their top 15. Well it might be a disaster waiting to happen.No one has yet to see what we found so breathtaking about out rep. (So sad!!!) I go online 'hungrily' hoping to see some thing exciting about our rep. Ok! so she was in the Top 12 for Miss sports. So what are u saying we can only run, but not look good. Please don't answer that. I might just give up on Miss World for this year. Hopeless! Hopeless case! Good Luck Ashanna! Looks like we will need it. It's a hard fight to the finish line. I'm almost at my wit's end!!!

Although many people may not realize it, beauty queens are representatives of a BRAND- the country is the company/ corporate brand) and the delegates we send are part of a brand line. There must be consistency, and when Elias took over, there was a consistently high calibre of girls being sent, with the exception of a few, that we all knew needed divine intervention to get passed the face. So T&T had attained a certain recognition for the quality of its brand of beauty. Not meaning to reduce our delegates to that of commodities or merchandise, the analogy is nonetheless befitting. The companies that have the best performing brands usually invest heavily in the quality of the 'offering' meaning, they invest heavily in research and development, creating the best product, the best packaging, the total picture...what it takes to stand out among the rest! And they become winners by relentlessly pursuing excellence. We still have a long way to go.

The Government needs an answer to this question: What benefit can beauty pageants bring to T&T. Well let me answer, because any person with even the minutest amount of business acumen will be able to see the link. For a country as small as T&T, that often fails to make the world map,increasing brand awareness is the first step. If people don't know T&T exist, how can they want to come for holidays re:Tourism, how can they want to do trade? how can they get a broader picture of what T&T is about other than the black lists and advisories warning people not to come.

Feel free to continue the dialogue

Anyone could of seen from the start that Ashanna Arthur was a big waste of time and money. One would think that the new franchise holder would of learned something from Peter Elias's time. The new franchise holder does not seem to understand what Miss World is looking for. Firstly, does Ashanna Arthur have any kind of charity work she has done or is doing?. What is her beauty with a purpose project?.

I would understand if Ashanna Arthur had the beauty and intelligence and not depending totally on a beauty with a purpose project. But, she does not have the beauty and any other girl at Miss World can match her on intelligence.

It is really very disappointing after having such a great run at Miss World under the leadership of Peter Elias. To have this new franchise holder take over and ruin it.

What the new franchise needs to do is totally change the way they select the girls. It all starts at the screening.

Not because a girl has a masters degree means she is a beauty queen. You need to find a girl who has the beauty and who can articulate herself. A girl can win with just being beautiful and able to carry an intelligent conversation. Than a girl who is just intelligent but dont have the beauty.

I do not see Ashanna Arthur doing good at Miss World. It will be a miracle if she enters the semi-finals. It will be interesting to see what the new franchise holder does after Miss World. Would he admit that they made a mistake?. I doubt it. But I do hope that next year we do not have a repeat of this same mistake.

I would sum this up as a learning experience for this Franchise holder. I really do not think he is totally responsible for this disaster.It started with the selection process,they are the ones that selected this girl I am sure their were much better looking girls that got cut.Although time was limited either of the other girls would've done a better job representing T&T.so lastly I blame those judges.

So many random people have made and leaked home made porn, but I think the fact that it potentially involves two former Miss Universe contestants has unequivocally brought the MUO into the picture. They have to do damage control because their reputation has taken a blow/ knock (Freudian slip). And America is obsessed with people's personal lives and with sex and scandal, so they will milk this story for all it's worth. Outside of the Americas, noone gives a damn about it.

LaToya as a top five finalist in Miss Universe 2010 will get this question as a final question:

JUDGE: Your country has been in the news recently as one of your country mates and former Miss Universe delegates has been the protagonist in a number of home made porn clips leaked on the internet, what are your views?

LATOYA: Well Trinis, as we are called, try not assign a moral judgement to other people's acts, we just see the lighter side. First, Trinis have sex like everybody else! Then the fact that this little twin republic (and clearly I am not referring to Anya's Tobagos) could produce such a stir in the media world could only mean that we not only have the technology but the expertise to compete on a global scale with the big fishes!

We go win!

Miss Universe Contestants in Three-Way Sex Tape
Posted Nov 17th 2009 3:30PM by TMZ Staff

Carrie who?

Two former Miss Universe contestants are stealing the sex tape scandal spotlight, after a home video hit the web reportedly featuring Miss Japan 2008 and Miss Trinidad and Tobago 2008 engaged -- fully engaged -- in a hardcore three-way with some dude, reportedly a professional photographer.

Hiroko Mima (Japan) and Anya Ayoung-Chee (T&T) both competed in the 2008 Miss Universe pageant.

TMZ spoke with a rep from the Miss Universe pageant who tells us, "This was apparently eight months after the pageant and neither were the reigning titleholder.

The photographer is NOT a Miss Universe staffer so we have nothing to say or any involvement ... thank goodness."

And for the record -- no, we're not publishing it.

I dont think anyone is really interested in what is going on at Miss World this year. It does not look very promising for Ashanna Arthur based on the pictures I have seen of her at the competition. I think it was a big waste of time and money sending her to Miss World. She is just not beauty queen material. I hope that the franchise learns from this and start picking girls who are beauty queens.

Since the start of the competition I've seen only 2 pictures with our delegate. Any one knows what is going on with her and who prepared her for the competition

I agree C. La Toya has a good chance at winning Miss Universe. She is so sophisticated and beautiful. She looks this great now. Can you imagine how good she will look by the time Miss Universe comes around.

R u guys getting that old familiar feeling again, that tingly feeling that Miss Universe is coming soon, that once again TnT has a rep that we can really get 100% behind?

This year we chose someone gorgeous, articulate, tall and has a slamming body and we really have an excellent chance of bring the crown back home.

I wish La Toya the best of luck and wished we could have sent Danielle to Miss World.

LA TOYA WAS OUTSTANDING FROM THE TIME SHE SCREENED. SHE IS A GREAT REPRESENTATIVE AND TRULY HAS THE TOTAL PACKAGE. WHAT GRACE, CHARM, CONFIDENCE AND INTELLIGENCE!!! SHE CERTAILNY NAILED THE QUESTION AND KNEW EXACLTY WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY. SHE CAN PACK HER SIUTCASES AND LEAVE TOMORROW. THE FACILITATORS WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE TO FIX. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. T&T WILL BE SMOKING HOT IN 2010. SHE CAN WIN!!!!!! I BELIEVE HER EXPERIENCE AS A MODEL HELPED HER A LOT, AS WELL AS HER STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGY. I AM HAPPY TO PREDICT AND PICK A WINNER IN THE LOCAL LEG AGAIN AS I DID WITH DNIELLE JONES, CHERYL ANKRAH, ALEXIA, HEIDI, AND MARGOT. BEST WISHES TO YOU LATOYA. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE.

Ok, after viewing the FACE pics and paying attention to the swimsuit shots, I think the most ready right now for MU are:

SARAH RADDAY, LA TOYA WOODS & DANILLE PRIME.

Unless these other girls have some extreme makeover by the time the pageant comes around, I don't think anyone else deserves the crown. TnT needs to get serious and send a WOW! girl...its about we're called again..."
....TOP 3 right there for ya!

I'm glad danille came 2nd....i used to work with her...she's really cool! i dont know about la toya...havent been following this time as much. from the glimpse i saw of her on the tv i dont think she has a WOW factor about her! she needs to work on her stage presence imo. the one thing working for her is that she's already in gr8 shape and her legs are dynamite :D

Today we will know who won. I think its going to be either La Toya, Danille, Sarah or June.


On a side note. Ashanna Arthur is at Miss World now. She really believes she can win Miss World. I personally dont see beauty queen with her. But, I do wish her the best since she is there. I hope she can live up to what she believes.

This show and these results definitely made up for Trinidad and Tobago's absence last year. Congratulations to Latoya. I was also pleased with the 1st runner up. Peter Elias and the crew did it again. I hope the people for Miss World are taking note! What a show!!!!!!! I am contented!

Evaluator thank you for posting the pic and some more. Guys I have to reitorate I am really feeling the reps this year. This is the first group within recent memory where at least if anyone of three girls wins I could see them in the top 15 with them also going all the way.

Other side of the Atlantic I agree with you on LaToya's make-up. The pic from the screening where she is in her swimsuit, the make-up is softer and her skin abosolutely glows. Girls with a more caramel complexion don't need as much matte make-up. That is one of the best pics I have seen of LaToya.

Danielle on the other hand does need the matte because in her shots without it that is why she wasn't on my radar before this pic came out.

Eith this group at least three girls look ready face and body wise to take the stage tomorrow if need be and I haven't said that about any delegate/s since Wendy and Danielle. Kenisha and Faye whom I love immensely had body issuses that they dealt with and as a result were rewarded for it.

As far as interview that is the unknown variable right now. I want a delegate with a good interview not necessarily a doctorate candidate. For as you know when it comes to Trump beauty before brain.

I also like the fact that some of these have modelled before it makes the catwalk training that much easier when you have a girl that can walk.

I would like Peter and Company to please really WOW with the evening gown. Twirling dresses are out, let think body hugging because some of these girls have amazing bodies.

Shirlanna face is gorgeous!!!!!!

La Toya is leading the way right now. She has everything needed to win Miss Universe. She seems poised to take it all. She is stunning and sophisticated. Some of the other girls are closely following. Dont overlook Danille either. She can also take it all. She has such a unique look to her that will go well at Miss Universe. She looks so elegant. June is also closely there. If she gets her interview right she can win it all. I believe one out of these three girls will win.

Guys I just saw a picture and message thread about the final 8 delegates for Miss TnT Universe this weekend. The pic has the delegates sitting on a couch and a few standing at the back. Let me just say that they all looked fab with a few outstanding exceptions:

June Lightbourne - I do find June's face to be appealing but she just striles me as a beauty that could get lost in the competition for Miss Universe. With the stakes higher since it is a Top 9 and not Top 15 she just does not standout to me. In the pic your eyes do not go to her first and that is a problem since you have to get noticed at Miss Universe.

Danielle Prime - This just just snuck up on me. In that photo she looked amazing!!! Her face and complexion looked flawless. But with that being said there a photos where her face and smile look to me to be very awkward. Top 3

Shari Demas - Shari was my original pick to win it all but she seems to lack that extra spark infront of the camera. Her face and skin are beautiful but there is a vacancy behind the eyes for me. Top 2

La Toya Woods - Originally I had her just behind Shari but after seeing the pics from the screening and her amazing face in that group shot she is now my choice to win it all!!! La Toya's face, body and skin tone are FIERCE!!!! She embodies that quintesentially Caribbean Beauty to perfection. And those DIMPLES!! That does not hurt either. If she is crowned I see her doing very well at Miss Universe (top 5 there).

There was a huge surprise for me Shirlanna Singh. This girl while not my choice to win has one of the most beautiful faces that I have seen on a delegate in a long time. I do think with some extra training and toning she could win a regional pageant ( Miss Caribe Hibiscus, Miss Caricom etc)

I also have to say that the ladies were well received on the American Board with many posters stating that they were excited to see TnT back and that we always send exceptionally beautiful and well trained delegates!!

GOOD LUCK to all the girls this weekend!!!!

C, I cannot agree with you more. My pick is still LaToya Woods. However, I have to say I prefer her with less makeup than more. Her complexion is flawless and rich already. It should not be mattified too much, in the photo with her looking at the mirror, the make up makes her look a little harsh because it takes away the softness that makes her so stunning. She is a stunner based on her glowing skin and soft features.

Shirlanna wows me again in that photo. At the moment, she is still my 2nd choice.

Danille is moving up my Billboard charts. Unlike LaToya, make up enhances her face, smooths the contours that made her face look uneven and shiny. The matte look is very suitable for her because she looks like one of those sophisticated beauties for Ebony or Jet. I won't be surprised if she wins it.

Shari, no change in my opinion.

Sarah is not wooing me at the moment.

This year I am getting a very very positive vibe from our representatives. I can see T&T placing very high people!

C, as you said, June's look is not consistent. I want to like her, but she doesn't stand out for me.

Shari

1)all these girls out-shine our rep 4 miss world Ashanna!
2)We know she's no way up 2 par 4 Miss World!
3)If she loved her country she would step down & let the 1st runner up compete since she has a much g8ter chance!

This is really a good batch of girls to chose from. I will not look to much at their bodies right now. Remember the winner has almost a year to prepare for Miss Universe next year. You have to look for the girl that is the best. They will work on her body to world class standards. My favorites right now are June, La Toya Sarah and Shari to win.

I've been meaning to give a synopsis of my views regarding the 8 finalists. So here it goes:

June Lighbourne:
I really do like her. It is a little difficult to estimate how tall she is, but in some photos she looks a little stumpy. She has a very beautiful face and glowing skin. However, I see a little disproportion in her figure. Maybe it's just the photos but she looks a little big on the top and narrow on the lower half making her appear top heavy.
If she were to go to Miss Universe, honestly, the highest I could see her reaching is the top ten.

Shari Dumas:
From the first few photos I had seen of her, I would have sworn by her. But in all honesty, she is no longer my top pick. When I look at all the photos of her together, they are a little too inconsistent for me. No doubt she has a beautiful face but she looks much better in photos when she doesn't smile. That cannot work for me. I do like her figure which is totally fabulous and would do well in swimsuit (needs some work on the calves), skin and all the rest are flawless, it's just the animated/ smiling face that doesn't do it for me.
I could see her making the semifinals at Miss Universe, even top 10 but the top 5 seems like a far call for me.

LaToya Woods
Except for one photo I saw of her on USA Bubble Board, this girl has impressed me most out of all of them. Her photos capture a girlish innocence, a strong beautiful and confident woman and an edgy model all in one. She has edged out Shari for me. She has a flawless, inviting and warm face, with soft features that are characertistic of not just a beauty queen but those of a beauty queen for which you would go OOOH WOW! She has the IT and the X Factor. Her chest is a little flat but she has taken consistently superior photographs. It is evident that the camera loves her and every angle is great. I want to believe that she is extremely telegenic which means that on a live stage, she will command attention and wow the judges. I am in awe that how incredibly beautiful this woman is. For me, she embodies the essence of the modern beautiful Trinbagonian woman.
If she goes up for Miss Universe, she would sail right through to the finals. She will place for sure. She has the greatest potential to win. I can smell it. She would be a hit from day one and she has that instant likeability factor. MY PICK!

Danille Prime
I admit that I did not like her with the wig, which is why it is important to see more photos. But she seems to be one of the taller ones. I am not a fan of her skin and some of the contours of her skin, a bit of adipose around the cheeks and central area of the face. But other than that, her face has a sultriness about it, quite demure and understated. She does look quite seductive and engaging. Her photos are consistent. Her figure is fine, but overall, because she is not one of the prettiest ones, she would not be my pick.
If she is chosen, I think she can make the semi finals, but with Trump choosing 6 and the preliminary judges choosing 9, this one would be a gamble as I wouldn't bet on her to make the 9.

Shirlanna Singh
This chick took me by surprise. She looked quite ordinary with her hair down in the very first photo I saw. But when glammed up, the transformation was great and she looks quite regal but fierce. She looks a bit short. Nevertheless, against a host of generic latina bots, and so very few tanned women, she might very well stand out. She is no doubt a very beautiful girl. There is enough time to tone up that bod!
If she is selected, because, based on India's awful track record during this decade, she might very well be the Asian to watch out for. She would stand out among the Caribbean delegates. I can genuinely see her making the semis, and top 10 for sure.

Sarah Radday
When I saw her first photo, I wasn't impressed. I recognized that she was a beautiful girl, but her look didn't do it for me. Then she cleaned up very nicely for the swimsuit photos and I actually would have said she was my choice as she looked ravishingly beautiful, and very reminscent of the classic beauty queens of yesteryear. I felt that the combed back hair added finesse and sophistication to her already flawless face. Then I saw this picture and I felt she looked a bit harsh, at least when she smiled.
If she is picked, I genuinely could see her cracking the semis and top 10. She doesn't wow me over all the time, so I would say she certainly has the potential to be in the top 5 but I need more info to make a judgment.


Lisa See Tai
She was not one of my picks, but I admit that her follow up photos were better. She doesn't do it for me, sorry. She is no doubt pretty, but doesn't have that extra oomph. She looks like the type of beauty queen that Jamaica likes to crown, but who would do better at World than Universe.
If she is chosen, it is a hit or miss or me and that is too much of a gamble. I knew that Anya wasn't going to be selected and I get the very same vibe from this girl. She might be very articulate and intelligent, but facially, it's a no for me.

Nisa Benjamin
I genuinely like this girl. Her beauty is very understated but she is striking from the moment you look at her. She reminds me of an Angolan beauty that competed in the early 2000s. I do admit that just from the photos, she looks slightly lethargic but that is just my interpretation.
She isn't in my top 3 but I think with the right preparation she could stand a chance. I also get a keneisha vibe from her because there is something about her that draws you in and engages you. She could eitther do very well or miss the cut altogether at Miss Universe.

So, my choices are:
1. LaToya Woods
2. Shirlana Singh
3. Sarah Radday
4. Shari Dumas
5. June Lightbourne
6. Nisa Benjamin
7. Danille Prime
8. Lisa See Tai

Does anybody know who the girl walking behind LaToya Woods in these photos?

Wow, Chanelle looked gorgeous in that shot. I was getting a Leah Guevarra vibe.

I looked at all the photos of LaToya and the only resemblance to Faye is that besides both being insanely gorgeous, they both have that rich sunkissed honey complexion. Faye had a strong AfroAsian look about her, although she is a conglemerate of more than those two ethnicities. The first thing that jumped out at you were her almond shaped Oriental eyes. LaToya, on the other hands, shouts "Creole" as in the mix of Afro and European features. She has very very refined features but she is more akin to Penny Commissiong than to Faye in my eyes. Nevertheless, both are extremely representative of any of the many mixtures in Trinidad, resulting from our rich comsmopolitan identity. We can't escape it.

Having a girl with a new look might be refreshing but the underlying aim should be to pick the girl has the greatest potential to bring home the crown. And for me, that girl is LaToya.

Other side of the Atlantic I totally agree with you and your synopsis of the girls. LaToya is my choice as well to win with Shari just behind. I also saw the pic of LaToya on the American Message Board and she looked stunning!!!!! Her pic on Facebook is exceptional as well.

She has the face and body that can command attention and I love the dimples!!!!!! She has legs for days and as I said that face is flawless. The fact that if crowned she will have more than5 months to prepare the possibilities r endless!!!

I am very excited to c who the new rep is and excited to c the team work their magic on them.

Oh hell, La Toya has to win. Being abroad, I wasn't aware that she entered the Synergy thingy, so it is encouraging to know that she has modelling experience behind her. From all her photos, she looks like the type that will leave people drooling and that's the reaction you want to elicit. Again, my observations are solely based on still shots and I stand ready to be corrected should she fall short on intelligence, articulation and eloquence.

Ok, after viewing the FACE pics and paying attention to the swimsuit shots, I think the most ready right now for MU are:

SARAH RADDAY, LA TOYA WOODS & DANILLE PRIME.

Unless these other girls have some extreme makeover by the time the pageant comes around, I don't think anyone else deserves the crown. TnT needs to get serious and send a WOW! girl...its about we're called again...

FACE, HEIGHT, BODY, PERSONALITY (in that order based on Miss Universe's current standards)

I was reading the newspapers and i saw that they were going to have a presentation show next week and only 7 would be chosen to go through to the final show in november. i think all should compete. And jenna a a nice girl but i could never see her making top 15 at miss universe, some how i just dont. If they still choose to have only seven to compete in miss t&t please leave jenna out and give someone else a chance.

I personally like the way they are doing it. The presentation show helps them see who the best are before making their final decision. I think they are doing it the way it should be done. Rather than have a one night competition where the best girls are so often left out, they are trying to see who has what it takes to shine at Miss Universe.

I also dont think Jenna Marie Andre is good for Miss Universe. She just dont seem to have what is required to make even a top 15 there. I was surprised she entered again. She is also not the most articulate girl. I agree, there are other girls there way way better than her.

My top 8 girls are...

Chenelle Maloney
June Lightbourne
Shari Dumas
Krista Ali
Danille Prime
Tizziana Persad
Sarah Radday
La Toya Woods

[> [> Subject: I am sure that part of the reason Jenna decided to enter was because she was encouraged to do so by Adrian Raymond or Calvin French. She is modelesque but perhaps a little too edgy and raw for me. Also, she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and it is manifested in her inability to articulate herself in an intelligent and eloquent manner, but don't count her out.

Nevertheless, while I have not seen all the girls next to each other to compare heights, my preliminary choices are:

1. Shari Dumas(she will have a universal appeal and is exotic and stunning, she also has a flawless complexion and to-die-for facial bone structure. She is also very very modelesque as well as photogenic)

2. Tizziana Persad(she also has a universal appeal to her look and kinda gives me the Arlene Peterkin vibe, I think she is a natural stunner with a lot of sex appeal, a true babe, and the type Miss Universe likes) It's a toss up between Shari and Tizziana for me.

3. La Toya Woods(she could pass for Shari's twin, but Shari beats her. I cannot put her second though)

4. Keisha Charles

5. June Lightbourne

6. Chenelle Maloney

7. Krista Ali

Really good list other side of the atlantic. You know you have a good eye for beauty. I agree with you. Jenna is not at all suited for Miss Universe. I just look at the batch of girls and I see so many who can do far better than she can on the Miss Universe stage. I have made my list of girls and this time I have them in order of preference. Note: We still have yet to see the other two girls from Tobago. So, my list could change depending...Here it is....

1. Shari Dumas or Chenelle Maloney for the crown

2. La Toya Woods

3. June Lightbourne

4. Tizziana Persad

5. Krista Ali

6. Keisha Charles

7. Danille Prime

I have to agree with you guys here. This is a great crop of girls!

Chenelle captures the essence of a Caribbean beauty! Look how flawless she is in her photos! She is just simply gorgeous. I have been supporting La Toya Woods since her Synergy Supermodel days!

I also agree with you on the Jenna issue. If you can recall, she did not make the first cut in China in 2005! What, she thinks that having had a boob job,she is now a better candidate for the top 5? Please! Remember the pagent's credo is "Beauty with a purpose". There are other girls with the required package of brains AND beauty, who are quite capable of doing a fine job. Let them have a fair chance, man.

Please someone put the crown on either Shari or La Toya PRONTO!!!!!! These girls are absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I can just c the tranformations now. Some of the top 8 were a surprise - no Tizziane or Jenna. I was surpurised to c June up there. Her body WAS NOT up to snuff in my estimations. But we have a good group!

I c that nobody missed me since everyone mentioned every other original poster except me. Don't worry I won't take it personally.

On to the Miss Universe hopefuls we have a great batch to choose from. I love the look of Keisha, Chenelle, Shari snd Tizziane. I actually know Jenna because she has been seen a lot on the party scene here in NYC but as nice as she is I don't c her as Miss Universe.

I am so happy that Peter is back in some capacity they need him and his expertise. I took a sabbatical after he gave up the franchise because I thought it was the end of Miss TnT Universe as we know it. Thank God he is back and the team that has taken over seems very capable of greatness.

As for the Miss World rep as the ole people say 'if u don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all' so I will keep my comments to myself.

So good to see you C. Everyone is so happy that we have this fantastic team as the Miss Universe franchise holders. We are so glad to see Peter Elias back. He is truly one of the best at what he does. Trinidad and Tobago will be back strong at Miss Universe next year. I agree with you we have such a strong batch of girls to chose from. Its so difficult to chose just one. From the pictures I have seen so far. I think the crown should be between Chenelle Maloney, Shari Dumas, La Toya Woods, June Lightbourne, Tizziana Persad or Keisha Charles. One of these ladies should be the new Miss Trinidad and Tobago.

The two Tobago delegates are nice but they are not as good as most of the girls we already saw.

Now I to ask the question, Where are all the others??. Trini77, PB, mAximus and the rest?. Come on back guys!!!!.

HUNGER- Please choose someone who is hungry for the crown and will work like Keneisha Thom to bring it home. FOr me, half of the battle is won there!

BEAUTY- hair, makeup, dentition, skin....must be IMPECCABLE but unfortunately are not always consistently top notch!This is a beauty competition and there will be no shortage of drop dead gorgeous beauties. Our Trini chicks have always stood out against the rest, from the darkest most flawless ebonies in Wendy and Kenisha, to the mocha divas like Magdalene to our butter scotches like Penny, Faye and Margot, even our creamies like Arlene.

FASHION- a KILLER WARDROBE is A MUST! T&T has never failed to impress in this category!

EVENING GOWN- I think you need to strategize. PLEASE DO NOT COMPROMISE A STUNNING DRESS THAT MEETS INTERNATIONAL FASHION STANDARDS FOR A SUB-PAR LOCALLY DESIGNED DRESS. It is not about the designer, it is about a dress that ensure that a girl advances as far as possible.

SWIMSUIT- I have never questioned the capabilities of the local team to work with the girls and deliver the package!

I think the above is the winning formula! Looking forward. I would like to see full body and close up of face photos and perhaps a video to adjudicate on telegenics.

I know alot of us are still disappointed with the Miss World Trinidad and Tobago pick. But, we can all be happy that we have a group of people who seems to know what they are doing in the Miss Trinidad and Tobago Universe pageant. The screening is on the 18th of October and the finals is scheduled for the 9th of November. I can not wait to see the gorgeous beauties.

Maybe the franchise holder for the Miss World Trinidad and Tobago learn from this and have the pageant earlier so the delegate will have more time to prepare for the international arena. And also adverties the screening more and hopefully next time pickt the most beautiful girls.

I am sorry but she may be attractive for a Best Village Pageant but by no means International. In a weird way she looks like Leah Guevara but Leah has such a beautiful face. Nothing stands out in a positive way for me

I don't know what I rathered, not seeing the pagaent or seing it. Definitely a major disappointment for me. I know I could never be best judge on beauty but would the cameras in South Africa pick up that Ashanna is intelligent from face value? Would the cameras really give her the attention she deserves? Sad to say we are going to get a rude awakening over there. Hope we actually win a fast track event. Even that I ain't too sure about. I'm still confused. Can someone send me a ray of hope?

Some may say that beauty is subjective, but there are objective standards. I wish the girl all the best but in the end it is a beauty pageant and she falls short, especially in Miss World where the winners are undoubtedly stunners. Can she attain the success of Agbani Darego Nigeria 2001 or be the stellar beauty from France Véronique Caloc 1998 or even Micaela Reis Angola 2007? Methinks not!

Sad to say but I think this girl is not going to do much at Miss World. I dont know what makes this new franchise holder think that Miss World is a Miss Intelligence Pageant. Look at last years Miss World. She could not even talk properly, yet she won the title. Why, because she was beautiful. This guy is going to get a rude awakening as you said Miles. Trinidad and Tobago has been doing so good then to have this new guy take over and ruining it. Most of the girls in the pageant this year was no where close to being beauty queens. There was only a couple of them who had any chance. The best was the first runner up Chenelle Maloney. She should of won it. I am sure she would of definitely been noticed and do Trinidad and Tobago proud again. Even some of the girls who was not in the top three were far better. Like Sunita Dairam and Nadiege Honore. The judges messed up big time and so did the franchise holder. When they screen girls next time beauty should always be first. Ashanna is going to get lost in the crowd at Miss World. I almost rather not being represented if this is the type of girls this new franchise holder is going to send. He seems to not have a clue what is required to win a "BEAUTY" pageant. This is like taking 100 steps back from Valene and Gabrielle. What a total waste of money and time with this girl.

Just an observation I have made watching the Miss Trinidad and Tobago pageant. I dont seem to see the racial diversity with the contestants. How come in a country where over 43 percent of the population is of Indian decent. There were only one Indian girl in the entire competition.This has been the pattern for some time now. There was at the least seven girls of African decent two mixed race girls and one caucasian girl. I hope it is a matter of the girls being chosen are the best who came out. But, I find it hard to believe. Because most of the girls this year are no where close to beauty queen material. I know that there are many beautiful Indian and mix race girls in Trinidad and Tobago. How come we dont see more of them in Miss Trinidad and Tobago. Valene Maharaj was the last Miss Trinidad and Tobago of Indian decent and even in her year, I think she and one other girl was the only two Indian girls in the competition. I know alot of Indian girls are interested in representing their country. I hope alot more of them get chosen to be in Miss Trinidad and Tobago next year.

Alot of them are very educated and beautiful. I know they will do extremely well. I hope it is not a matter of favoritism when it comes to chosing girls. But, a matter of the best of the best gets picked. No matter what race they may belong to.

[> Subject: I think you answered your own question in the end. From my understanding, pageants are not prioritized among the general Indo-Trinidadian population. Just the other day I was having a discussion with my mom about where the Indians are making a mark for themselves in Trinidad...there seems to be a trend, moreso now than before, that people who are focussed on education and professional formation do not delve into pageantry. There seems to be a negative correlation or inverse relationship. Yes, pageants are deemed frivolous. Indo-Trinidadians are also still very conservative, while many are quite modern and wear current fashions, there is still the pressure from their community to wear conservative clothes. One Indian from India noted that many of the 21st century Indians in Trinidad still hold on to 19th century Indian values...not a bad thing. And finally, while I prefer to ignore it, there is the historical animosity between Afros and Indos.

I think the fact that there is a lack of an Indian presence is a symptom of a deeper socio-cultural phenomenon. Indians generally keep away from Afro-centric events, again, it is rooted in history. But having studied history, I can say that the world over, the Indian diaspora is more concerned with making their mark in all things academic

Is this the best this new franchise holder could do?. I am sorry but this girl just dont have it. She is not pageant beauty at all. This franchise holder have to remember that at the end of the day its a beauty pageant and not a Miss Intelligence world pageant. Miss World's theme is beauty with a purpose. This girl dont have the beauty of a Miss World. The franchise holder needs to learn how to chose beautiful girls. He needs to look at past Miss Trinidad and Tobago's who have reached far and done well and try to find girls as good as they were or better. They are smart and also very beautiful. Just look at Gabrielle Walcott. What a shame.

Please come back Peter Elias.

who the judges,
or the ugly girls that enter every year. i was hoping she did not win but the pickings was very slim. They need a larger pool of girls to choose from maybe they need to give applicants a longer time for registration,or select girls from every borough then the winners compete for the title something like miss usa.I now know how the people of Turks & Caicos felt

Miss World gets new franchise holder


Michael Raghunanan
...new local franchise holder of Miss World
The search for Gabrielle Walcott’s successor to represent T&T at the Miss World pageant in South Africa in December has started. The new franchise holder of the competition is Michael Raghunanan, owner of Michael’s Vogue Designs, who took over from fashion designer and former franchise holder of both Miss Universe and Miss World, Peter Elias.

Raghunanan said he planned to stage a local contest to select Miss World T&T on September 26. With Miss Universe scheduled to take place in The Bahamas on August 23, a search of the Web site, www.missuniverse.com confirms that T&T would not be represented this year. Raghunanan said he was up to the challenge. He has already started work, putting together a committee to oversee the selection process and has sent letters requesting sponsorship from several corporate companies and state bodies such as the Tourism Development Company, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Tourism. Raghunanan said Elias, the former national director of the competition, called him and offered congratulations and words of advice and encouragement.

“I felt humbled that this great man, who has worked so tirelessly to promote the beauty of our islands to the rest of the world, could take the time to offer his kind words and sentiments,” Raghunanan said. He said, too, he was moved to accept the challenge after hearing Minister of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs, Marlene McDonald’s address in Parliament that her ministry would offer 80 per cent of the cost of sending a delegate to Miss Universe and Miss World. Raghunanan said, “I sense that the minister is a woman of integrity and honour so I am expecting her full support.” Raghunanan echoed McDonald’s challenge and hoped that support from the business community would be forthcoming.

He said, “If I have to beg or borrow and write letters to hundreds of companies, I am prepared to do just that. This is an investment in nation-building and in the future of our youth.” He added, “It is also an unprecedented opportunity to promote the growth of the tourism sector in T&T, especially following the vicious attack on two vacationing nationals from the UK, in Tobago over the weekend.”

Elias responds
Elias said yesterday he wished Raghunanan well.
He said, “I really wish him the best. I know that he will give his best. People overlook that they are people’s daughters that we work with and as a result this is a precious commodity. I have complete faith that Michael will be responsible. I only hope he is able to get the required support to do an effective job

Potential delegates
Interested contestants for Miss World T&T:
• Must be 17 on or before January 1, 2009 and must not have attained the age of 24 on or before January 31, 2009.
• Should be height and weight proportionate.
• Should be single and must not have had any children or have been pregnant prior to entering the competition and should not become pregnant during the term of her reign (if selected).
• Must have a valid T&T passport which must not expire before December 2010.
• Must be a citizen either by birth or through naturalisation.
• Must be a natural female. By natural it is understood that only persons who were born female are eligible to enter.
• Must be physically fit and athletic.
n Should possess a talent—singing, dancing or playing an instrument.
• Must speak English as a first language (although bilingual persons are encouraged to compete).
• Should be able to travel to South Africa if selected as the representative for T&T.
Screening takes place at the end of August and the winner would be selected at the local contest on September 26.

Seeing all the countries arriving in the Bahamas for Miss Universe with no Miss Trinidad and Tobago is a very sad time. Delegates holding their national flag in pride as they arrive is such a wonderful thing to observe. T&T should of been one of the top countries there this year. Especially with the competition right in the caribbean. Miss T&T would of been a huge favorite to win again. sadly, no one seems to see the great oppertunity that these girls have to promote their country and represent it with pride and passion.

Miss World is right around the corner later this year. Are we not going to be represented at that pageant to?. I hope there is a Miss Trinidad and Tobago at Miss World. T&T has been doing so good not to be a part of the pageant this year. Lets hope for at least a Miss T&T at Miss World later this year.
Since we are not going to be at Miss Universe

Designer gets Miss TT/World franchise
By MELISSA DASSRATH Wednesday, August 5 2009

FASHION designer Michael Raghunanan is the new holder of the Miss TT/World beauty pageant franchise. Raghunanan who operates Michael’s Vogue Designs is a member of the Fashion Entrepreneurs of Trinidad and Tobago (FETT) group and his designs were featured at the 2009 TT Fashion Week and the 2009 Caribbean Fashion Week.

Speaking on the franchise, Raghunanan said, “This is not a money-making venture. If anything, it comes down to pulling out of my own pocket at times. But I’m doing this for the love of my country.”

In the coming months, Raghunanan plans to stage a national beauty pageant to select a delegate for the Miss World pageant which will be held in December in Johannesburgh, South Africa. The Miss TT World Pageant has suffered from inconsistent and inadequate funding in recent years. A lack of Government support and corporate sponsorship has resulted in dwindling interest in the pageant. Raghunanan estimates that approximately $150,000 will cover the cost of preparing and styling a delegate.

Raghunanan said he was motivated by the Culture Minister’s vow to cover 80 percent of the cost to send a delegate to the Miss World pageant. “I sense that the Minister is a woman of integrity and honour so I am expecting her full support,” he said.

And while Raghunanan is now the Miss TT/World franchise holder, the Miss TT/Universe franchise remains in abeyance after well-known style guru Peter Elias decided to relinquish both the Miss World and Universe franchises.

Walcott: It’s too late for Miss Universe
By Joan Rampersad Wednesday, July 15 2009

click on pic to zoom inGabrielle Walcott placed third in the Miss World 2008 competition....If asked to Gabrielle Walcott will not represent Trinidad and Tobago (TT) in the Miss Universe 2009 pageant which takes place in the Bahamas next month.

There is just not enough time for either her or any other woman to prepare for the internationally popular beauty competition, said Walcott, the third-placed winner in the Miss World 2008 pageant.

“I understand girls have to be there in the Bahamas in the next two weeks. I would never do myself or our country that injustice or disservice. How could I be prepared in just two weeks?” Walcott told Newsday.

Several broadcast media reports over the past two days claimed Walcott was expected to be approached by the Government to represent this country at the pageant. TT has had two winners at Miss Universe, Janelle Penny Commissiong in 1977 and Wendy Fitzwilliam in 1998, along with a string of semifinalists in recent years. Giselle La Ronde won Miss World in 2006, and again, this country has had successful runner-ups in this competition.

In 2008, Anya Ayoung-Chee represented the country in the Miss Universe in Vietnam, while Walcott went to South Africa for the Miss World competition. Ayong-Chee did not place among the semifinalists but Walcott placed third, and even won the Queen of the Caribbean prize.

Walcott denied the media reports and said no one from the Government had approached her to be a possible delegate to send to Bahamas. Even so, Walcott said it would be too late for her to get ready to compete.

“I think it’s just too late to be properly prepared. Our girls have done well at that competition before and I don’t want to be one to spoil that record.”

Former pageant trainer Allyson Brown, who has previously helped past delegates to both beauty competitions, was also in the dark about Walcott or any other woman being selected for Bahamas.

“I did not hear anything. I have absolutely no information whatever on that,” said Brown.

According to Miss Universe Inc, 86 countries have already confirmed their attendance with this country listed as a withdrawal along with Antigua & Barbuda and Sri Lanka.

That this country would be without a delegate at Miss Universe and possibly Miss World 2009, stemmed from the previous struggles of former franchise holder Peter Elias to obtain consistent support from the Government and the business community. In 2007, TT did not take part in Miss Universe because of lack of funding, and afterward Government stepped in and supported Valene Maharaj’s entry to Miss World 2007 where she placed third.

Elias could not be reached for comment yesterday. However, after Walcott’s success at Miss World last year, Elias stated that he was giving up the franchise for both competitions.

We need Miss T&T to be represented this year

Other caribbean countries are taking advantage of the fact that the Miss Universe pageant is being held in the caribbean this year. They all know they have a good chance of doing well or some of them placing for the firs time or the first time in many years. Trinidad and Tobago is probably the only caribbean country to apart from Puerto Rico and to a lesser extent Dominican Republic to have done extremely well at Miss Universe and Miss World. If T&T is not represented it will be a major blow for future representation. How sad to see countries who do not have to resources that T&T has are able to send someone to represent their country year after year. T&T with all its riches should be showcased every year at the pageants.

How can the government not want to consistantly sponsor these great ambassadors of their country?. I could understand wanting the private sector to help but if they are unwilling to help then I do believe the government should step up and do what is necessary to send a representitive to Miss Universe and Miss World.

I truly admire the franchise holder before Peter Elias. Kim S. always seem to be able to send someone to represent the country for many years up until her death.

I was hoping that Peter Elias would of held on to the franchises. I am sure that he could of find some sort of sponsorship. Just like Kim S. did it I believe he could of done it to. He may not be able to do all the training of the delegates he would like but at the least T&T would be repsented each year. Kim S. may not have been able to train the girls as Peter have done for the past five years or so. But, she did do her best and managed to place at Miss Universe many times and even won the Miss Universe title as well. I can undrstand Peter wanting the government to do their part. But, it is clear that the government has no interest in the promotion of T&T in such a manner. They will be quick to praise the delegate when she has done well but slow to offer assistance to help achieve success. That is a sad reality. Its a fact that government has never done anything consistantly to help these ladies reach the successes they have had.

It is shameful to that no one step in to take over the francise after Peter gaved it up. So many companies etc. can do this, yet we have not had anyone willing to.

To Peter Elias, if you are reading this. Please consider taking up the franchise again. You seem to be the only person with real passion to promote T&T in such a manner. Take adavantage of this oppetunity of the Miss Universe pageant being in the caribbean again. I am sure the Miss Universe org. wanted Trinidad and Tobago to be there. Try to hold on to at least one of the franchises, either Miss World or Miss Universe. There are many people who support you and are very grateful for what you have done for the country. Let Miss T&T shine on the international stage again.

Valene is absolutely beautiful she can be hand picked to go to the bahamas now. She dont need alot of preparation.She can bring home the crown for T&T again. Gabrielle Walcott would of been another great contender but she is not interested in going this year. She stated she did not have enough time to be prepared enough. Although I personally dont think she needs alot of training.

She do not need alot of preparation. As you stated she is in good shape and looks great. All she needs to do is leanr about the bahamas like its history ect. if she does not know already. In regards to her look. She dont need to do much at all. She will be a great representitive.

It seems that T&T will not be represented at Miss Universe after all. With speculations that Gabrielle Walcott might be sent or asked to go to Miss Universe. That has proven not to be true. This is indeed a very sad day for pageantry in Trinidad and Tobago. It is so embarassing that the T&T Government can not see the potential that these beautiful ladies have to promote T&T to the world.

No one was even approached or there was not a hint to anyone to represent the country in the Bahamas this year. Gabrielle walcott said that even if she was ask now it will be to late for her to properly be prepared to compete at Miss Universe. She noted that T&T has had tremendous success at Miss Universe and dont want to spoil T&T's record for not being ready enough.

I persoanlly think that Gabby would still do great if she was asked to go with just under three weeks until the start of the competition. But, I can understand her position. She does not want to feel rushed and by that can ruin her chances.

Its is really sad that there will not be a Miss T&T at Miss Universe. My hope is that T&T will have a representative at Miss World so we can continue the success at that pageant to.

I still believe that there are girls who can be chosen now and be sent to Miss Universe with just a few weeks to go and do very well. I remember Maggie walcott being chosen in a very short space of time yet still did very good at Miss Universe. There are countries still chosing their representitives right now, so there may still be time for T&T to have a good representitve sent. T&T girls know how to shine and be noticed.

Even if we dont see a Miss T&T at Miss Universe this year. Lets hope that this will be the last time that there is a struggle to send someone to the international stage just because of lack of financing. T&T is way to rich of a country to not be represented each year.

25-year-old Interior Designer Carolyn Yapp, was selected as Miss Jamaica Universe 2009 in a super-secretive and media shy affair at Villa Ronai, Kingston. Carolyn will represent Jamaica in the Bahamas, where the new Miss Universe will be crowned.

It is very disappointing that Trinidad and Tobago may not be represented this year at Miss Universe or even Miss World. For such a rich country there should not be any problems with sending someone to represent Trinidad and Tobago. It is a shame that T&T has done so well for so long to not be represented this year.It seems as though other countries hold Miss T&T's in higher esteem sometimes than some people in T&T or rather the government. Angola was recently welcoming former Miss Universe Wendy Fitzwilliam to their country. Eleven years after she won Miss universe she is still making T&T proud. It is truly a disappointment that the T&T government or any of the big companies that can sponsor a Miss T&T, have not done so consistantly. Many countries who do not have the resources that T&T has have sent delegates to the international stage every year. A lot of other countries have not reached any where close to T&T's success on the world stage yet always seems to be able to send someone to represent their country each year.

There is still enough time to chose someone to go to Miss Universe this year and Miss World. I hope that by the time Miss Universe starts we will see Miss Trinidad and Tobago's name up there with the list of contestants.

The Miss Universe Pageant is also being held in the caribbean this year. This could be T&T's year to win again. Come on T&T send someone to represent the country. These ladies have continued to make thier country proud and promote it in a positive way even beyond their reign.

Check out the Miss Bahamas Universe website. There are some amazing girls who are competing for the chance of placing at the top 15 at Miss Universe in August:

http://www.missbahamas.org/.

My favorites are Camille Kenny, Amanda Applewood, Jade Strachan, Kiara Sherman, Alexandra Deal, and Sharie Delva.

It is really sad that Trinidad & Tobago will not be represented this year at Miss Universe. With the pageant being held in the Caribbean, TnT would have had a great chance to bring the Miss Universe crown back to Trinidad, especially considering that it is 10 years this year since Trinidad last hosted the Miss Universe Pageant. It would be awesome to have either Valene M. or Gabrielle W. represent TnT. I am sure that either one of them could win the title.

...the more they open their mouths the more petty and stupid they appear. All this shi% about TT$300,000 to send a "TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO" to the world stage being too excessive, and then they turn around and spend over 300 million of we (taxpapers') money without thinking twice just so Manning could feel better about himself on paper-because that was all I see this summit being about.

To think that the Miss Universe Pageant will be held in the Caribbean this year and Trinidad and Tobago may not be represented is very shameful. Trinidad and Tobago is such a rich country. There should not be a problem to send a delegate to both Miss Universe and Miss World. It seems as though some people like to take the glory when a representitive from T&T does well but are unwilling to contribute to helping these individuals reach to the point where they are world class.

I hope to see a Miss T&T at both Miss Universe and Miss World this year. There are so many girls who can do great if given the chance.

Even if there is not enough time to have a local pageant to select someone. There are girls who dont need alot of training that could be sent and easily win either international pageants. Gabrielle Walcott is a great example. If she is sent she can easily win Miss Universe.

Here are my early picks for MU2009:
Australia
Puerto Rico
USA (she is just a plane pretty american girl, nothing noteworthy but she is MUSA so she is guaranteed a top 10 placement at the least)
Czech Republic
France
Ukraine
Switzerland

Others who I need to see more of: Mexico, Columbia, Angola, South Africa

There is still enough time to send a delegate to the Miss Universe pageant this year. This could be a great oppertunity again for T&T to win the Miss Universe title. I think if T&T dont send a delegate this year they will be missing out on a very good chance of winning the third crown.

Why has there not been a new franchise holder yet?. Is PE&A still the franchise holders?. I was hoping that PE&A hold on to one of the local franchises. Either Miss Universe or Miss World. Maybe he should re-consider his decision and continue with the great work he has done, for the people who support him and the country.

This is will be really disappointing again if there is no delegate. T&T has done so well for many years. T&T is a rich enough country to send delegates every year. There should never be a problem to send a delegate because of financial problems.

To PE&A if you are reading this. Please continue with your good work and re-consider your decision and try to send a delegate to Miss Universe this year.

Kesha Quash is the most friendly, elegant delegate we have ever had in this country and when given the chance if she accept, then we would have another MU/MW until that time i say good luck to all the lady's. To the guy that has a problem with Kesha, a little advice, get over yourself. I attend SBCS and whenever i see KESHA QUASH i know she's going to be very successful in whatever she does. You need to get a life and stop bad mouthing others.

Since Peter & Co don't have to worry with the Miss T&T franchise anymore, a great way for him to make some money is to start offering his training services to other countries that haven't had much success in the pageant circuit. Other nations that ironically, have much less money than T&T, are able to send delegates but don't always do well due to lack of proper training. Peter & Co can offer their fine training and prepping services to other nations or franchises for a "good" price plus he already has a proven successful track record with Miss T&T. I don't think Miss T&T will ever be this good again now that he is not in charge.

I am waiting with bated breath for what the minister has to say. Congratulations to the minister for single handedly killing PE&A. I know Peter Elias is a serious man, so when he says it is over it over! That being said, we know Pete, Alyson, Adrian and Bobby have a passion for this thing. I believe that whoever ends up with the franchises, this group will be glad to assist, BUT we have to remember they will not be able to do so much anymore because you don't want to overstep your boundaries. I hope TIDCO takes over the franchise though.

Cheers as Miss TT returns home
Tuesday, December 16 2008

GABRIELLE WALCOTT, second runner-up in the Miss World Pageant, got a rousing VIP welcome at Piarco International Airport when she returned home from South Africa last night.

Gabrielle was originally scheduled to return home tomorrow night but decided to return home earlier because she is anxious to be with her father, Derek Walcott, one of her most ardent supporters. In fact, she quoted her father in answer to a question during the final round if the competition on Saturday.

Her father, a Roman Catholic deacon, was among those eagerly awaiting the chance to greet the world-class beauty as she stepped off her flight. Gabrielle mother and grandmother, who were with her in South Africa, are due to arrive home via New York later today. Her chaperone, Allyson Brown, who stopped off in London, arrives tomorrow evening.

Last night Gabrielle was wined and dined during a reception at the airport’s VIP Lounge hosted by the Ministry of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs. The Minister, Marlene McDonald, Parliamentary Secretary Junia Regrello and other government officials were part of the delegation on hand to welcome her home.

Also on hand was Peter Elias, franchaise holder for the pageant.

“It is a fantastic feeling to be part of something like this that brings national pride,” he remarked just before Gabrielle’s flight touched down at Piarco.
******************************************************************************

I am pretty much resigned to the fact that we will not be attending MU09. It will be interesting to see what the government comes up with in January-as pgwizz said I don't think they care. As Peter said, Gabrielle is probably our last MT&T at either MU or MW for a very long time to come. This government is hopeless. They are doing nothing to make a dent in crime, the police need policing themselves and they don't care about promoting brand Trinidad and Tobago internationally, only dining foreign dignitaries on public money so they can get personal praise from these visitors to prop up their all mighty egos.

This is the worst government in the history of T&T in my opinion. What a mess they are.

...Barbados, Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago are the only Caribbean entrants to make it to the semis. I am surprised that Bahamas did not make the cut. I guess DR's "deer in the headlights" look did not go over well with the judges. As I said, if she was a couple years more older maybe she could have gotten over that "lost" look. I still think she is beautiful though.

..Angola (2nd) and India was 3rd. O.K. As I said before Russia and Mexico are the 2 to beat but now I officially think that the heavy favorite is Russia.

After this fast track, here is what I think (again-I know):
QOAfrica -South Africa (expect Angola to make the top 15 though)
Queen of Asia -India (expect Lebanon and Philippines [people's choice] to make the semis)
Queen of Europe-Russia/Spain (I don't see Ukraine winning this regional title at all; I still think Spain is boring but she had alot of time to prepare for interviews after her crowning)
Queen of Caribbean-T&T/PR (forget everyone else; Bahamas could place but I am not too sure anymore)
Queen of the Americas-Venezuela or Mexico (no one else could win the regional title; something tells me Venezuela will pull a surprise regional win.)


Pray Gabby nails the interview! I know Wilnela will want PR to get the regional title.

My take is for both Top Model and Beach Beauty height would be a factor. I mean even in swimsuit, not matter how amazing your body is, the taller girls will have that extra something....because their legs go on for miles.
Same for Top Model. Models dont even have to be pretty, just tall. But from not on its all about Interview and Presentation for her, so I believe she can make Top 5 like Valene.

I agree with you a bit on this smurfgyrl. I think in regards to these mini contest like the top model and beach beauty that height do play a part in chosing the winner and usually the taller girls come out on top. The reason is because they are just looking for that one thing in the girls and not the overall attributes of a Miss World. However, as I have once said that in chosing the overall winner of the Miss World crown, height dont really matter. Especially in Regards to Miss World.

I think generally, height is not a major issue in beauty pageants these days. Its more about the girl and who she is and what she represents. if she is short and has a good body and the charisma/right personality. She can win. I am so proud of Gabby and how well she has done so far. I know she will shine even more. I think she has a great chance at beauty with a purpose. She needs to nail her interview. I think thats where she will seperate herself from alot of the girls. Go Gabby

Gabby is continuing to be noticed and doing well. I am still sruprised that Puerto Rico made it once again. I just dont see Puerto Rico as a top contender. I think they are trying hard to put Puerto rico up there. Its going to be between Gabby and Puerto Rico for the Queen of the Caribbean title. Gabby needs to seal the deal with her interview and how she presents herself. I think she can do it. I also hope she does well in the Beauty with a Purpose fast track.

i would actually say SA deserves her spot. SHe has been looking much better, so yes I think she is one of the stronger one. Should she win? Dont think so, but she deserves to be up there yes. As for Bahamas, lol...you still believe dont you? thats great. But I`m still not seeing it, and I totally get why she hasnt been included in anything.

Anyway Gabby looks awesome here.

this is very sad:

(CNN) -- The family of a 20-year-old Brazilian model who is fighting for her life after having her hands and feet amputated have urged her supporters around the world to keep praying for their daughter.


Brazilian model Mariana Bridi is in a serious condition in hospital after undergoing multiple amputations.

A blog created to provide updates on Mariana Bridi da Costa's condition says the model's stomach had to be removed during the last surgery due to internal bleeding.

"Continue praying for her. The doctors are doing everything that is humanly possible to save her, but only God can really save your (sic) life," says the most recent post by Renato Lindgren.

Da Costa's boyfriend, Thiago Simoes, told the G1 news Web site that Bridi fell ill on December 30 and was initially misdiagnosed with kidney stones.

When her condition worsened she returned to hospital where doctors determined she was suffering from a severe urinary tract infection.

By then, Bridi was also suffering from septicimea, a blood infection that limited the supply of oxygen to her extremities.

The condition forced doctors to amputate first her hands and then her feet.

Her father, Agnaldo da Costa, is said to have told Folha de S Paulo newspaper that "the concern is over her life."

The executive director of Miss World Brazil, Henrique Fontes, issued a call for blood donors.

According to the blogsite, Bridi has a rare negative blood type. By Tuesday, it said more than 100 people had donated blood in her name.

News of Bridi's condition spread quickly throughout Brazil and then worldwide.

A message on her Web site said that the volume of traffic to the Web site had caused it to crash, and that the site had received more than 15,000 hits in two days.

"The whole world, I repeat, the whole world is touched by the case of Mariana."

The message said they had received "emails of solidarity from all corners of the world: Australia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, France, Italy, USA, Russia, etc.. "

Bridi's family and friends have urged people to keep praying for Mariana's survival. "Mariana is (a) warrior and will win this battle."

In 2007 and 2008, Bridi came fourth in the quest to find Miss World Brazil, representing first the coastal town of Guarapari and then the town of Sergipe.

She also came fourth in the Face of the Universe competition held in South Africa in 2007. And last year she won the award for the best body in the Miss Bikini International competition held in China.

To set the record straight the Peter Elias received 200,000 TT in support for Ms World Gabrielle Wakcott from the Ministry of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs.

Mr Elias received the first 100,000 earlier this year and stated later on that it was used to pay off last year's bills. Note that Sponsorship given by the Government has to be used in the year it was intended for not the previous year. After Mr Elias made an outcry of lack of sponsorship he recedived an addtitional 100,000.00.

It is not the responsibility of the Government to foot the entire bill when offering assistance and the Ministry has many other projects which offer assistance to individuals and communities as well as Scholarships all of which have a set budget of funds that can me distributed equitably.

Well you do raise an important (and good) point Ria. If they gave money for 08, then it should be used for 08, but obviously Ria, Peter probably had to use from his own funds to cover Valene`s preparation.
So the fact is if he does intend to continue, I think Peter cant depend on the Government for 100 percent of the funding, because they dont seem interested.

Trinidad Express

'LOOK AT THESE': Miss World Trinidad and Tobago Gabrielle Walcott displays the two awards she received on arrival at Piarco International Airport on Monday night, following her second runner-up placing in the Miss World competition on Saturday at Johannesburg, South Africa. Gabrielle copped the Beauty with a Purpose and Caribbean Queen titles. -Photo: JERMAINE CRUICKSHANK
Miss World Trinidad and Tobago, Gabrielle Walcott, plans on enjoying a "Trini style" Christmas in the upcoming weeks.

Walcott emerged second runner-up in the 2008 Miss World pageant last Saturday, behind Miss India, Parvathay Omanakuttan, the first runner-up, and Miss Russia, Kseniya Sukhinova, who won the Miss World crown.

She also won the Beauty with a Purpose award for her work with the Just Because Foundation at the international event, which took place in Johannesburg, South Africa.

"The Miss World Organisation may require me to tour and do charity work so I'm waiting to hear what's going on," Walcott explained to the Express yesterday.

"I have to be available when they need the help. In the meantime I'm just going to enjoy Christmas."

The local beauty, who returned home on Monday night, was very proud of her accomplishment.

"I'm extremely happy about my performance at the competition," she said.

"I went there and I did exactly what I hoped I could do for my country. I only wished that I could have finished giving my answer to the question I was asked."

Apart from being a finalist in the pageant and meeting many other girls, Walcott said she loved the safari experience in South Africa.

"I was particularly the most relaxed on the safari," she added.

"We stayed in a Pedi village, which is a native African tribe village, and we slept in their huts one night. Waking up on the crack of dawn on safari was amazing. The lions and the elephants made the experience even better."

As for queen maker Peter Elias's announcement that he would be bowing out of the pageant world, Walcott said it was a very sad moment for her.

Elias has been working in the local pageant industry for the last 15 years and has had many successes in the top 15 of both the Miss Universe and Miss World international pageants. He has also seen the crowning of Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam.

Boy.. somehow i have the feeling russia was chosen weeks ago so no matter how she did russia would still have won. I dunno.

I Also think that the damn host must have known how strong gabby was and may have intentionally tried to break her onstage confidence. Look how much time india got.. lol

What a joke.

Crossing my fingers for a Miss Trinidad and Tobago Universe and World 2009!!!!

Congratulations to Gabby again on a job well done. The only question is what is the future for other Miss T&Ts?. Peter Elias has announced that this was his last pageant. This is truly a major disappointing thing to hear. He has done so well with the promotion of T&T and the grooming of each girl that has represented T&T.

While I understand his frustration. I hope that he somehow reconsiders resigning and continue the great job that he is doing. This will be a great lost for T&T if he is no longer a part of the franchise.

I dont understand why the government has not been continuously supportive financially to PE&A. That is a huge let down. The girls that are sent to these pageants are representing T&T and promoting it to the world in a positive light. One will think that the government will want to be a part of this continuously. PE&A should not have to be asking everytime for support. It should be readily available when they need it.

My hope is that Peter elias decides to stay on and do it for his country and the people that supports him and the girls that so proudly represents T&T on the world stage. I can not imagine what the future of Miss T&T will look like without the training and development expertise of PE&A. Then, the other question is. Will there even be another Miss Trinidad and Tobago?. If there is and there is another franchise holder, I hope they can do and continue the great job PE&A has done for so many years.

Peter, try and reconsider your decision to leave!

Unless the ministry gives in writing a legally binding agreement of financial support then I think Peter Elias and Associates should not reconsider. Will we be going to MU09? I am already concerned that if we even make it to MW09, we don't end up with another Heidi Rostant-phenomenal beuaty queen-horrible interview!

The time for begging is over. Peter Elias and Assoicates is a world-class organization-sorry I can't say the same for the T&T government-vision 20/20 is apparently nobody knows about our country outside of the Caribbean and Venezuela. I hope the ministry is totally embarrassed by PE&A's announcement (as they should rightfully be).

Dont you all get it? Hats off to PE&A but people dont understand the government does not care! We have too much oil, gas and other such natural resources...why spend time trying to market Trinidad and Tobago...this is to me what the government thinks and its stupid. Stupid because these resources are not renewable and we just shouldnt just depend on this...I dont know who or what is in charge of marketing Trinidad & Tobago, but whoever is surely needs to get a wake up call...This is good marketing going down the drain, like everything else in this once paradise. They do not care! I support PE&A 100% because this is the only way sometimes...Look at the Soca Warriors and many other TnT representatives...there is always some confusion in terms of gov't spending...yet they spend spend spend! I'm just so glad I dont have to live here anymore but VERY much more sad that I CAN'T!

I'm no gov't basher...but people who deserve a bashing will get one! I am so fed up with their talk about private sector funding...These people need to understand...TnT is NO VENEZUELA (a pageant fanatic country!) Its just not part of our culture...why then should u depend on private citizens to do the job of the public sector...I.E. if these pageants are seen as a tool for marketing...WHO THEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MARKETING TRINIDAD & TOBAGO????

...this is very weird. I know I dreamt that Russia won and I said I thought Gabby was 2nd...I saw some confusion with Gabby and although I could not tell who the other 3 finalists were I remember thinking they had tans (i.e. not pale white as Russia). Very weird how things really played on the int'al stage.

I am so proud of Peter Elias, Adrian, Alyson, Bobby, Gabby and all the others who behind the scenes were a driving force for this win. Congrats to all. I am very sad to hear that Peter Elias and associates is no more but I totally support this very difficult decision. As I have said before, no one but the Gov't can hold on to either franchise more than 3 years. I hope TIDCO acquires the franchises but now they will have to pay Peter, Alyson and Adrian for their services because there is no group better in T&T to manage these franchises with the success that PE&A have had. Pete we behind yuh all de way with this one.

From the Newsday. And I dont blame Peter. Enough is enough

Trinidad and Tobago’s Gabrielle Walcott was yesterday crowned second runner-up at the Miss World 2008 contest at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. But even while ecstatic in her victory, local franchise holder Peter Elias told Newsday that this was the end of the road for him.

He said, “What joy, what joy, what joy! This is one of the proudest moments in my life. When Gabby won the ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ contest and I saw the Trinidad and Tobago flag featured in her piece I felt so proud of TT. I’m proud of my team and Gabby’s effort. It was a long hard road but we succeeded. All is great but this is the end of the road for Peter Elias. I’m going to pass on the baton to someone else. I feel proud to have contributed to my country over the years and the feelings I felt today I want it to stay with me for the rest of my life.”

On the Miss World stage Walcott carried herself with grace and charm, looking absolutely regal as she was announced winner of the Beauty with a Purpose award.

Beauty With A Purpose is an event established in 2001 that is celebrated during the activities prior to the Miss World pageant. It awards the contestant with the most relevant and important charity project in her nation.

A short video was shown of Walcott’s work with the Just Because Foundation which supports children suffering with or recovering from cancer at the Paediatric Speciality Centre at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope.

Gabrielle’s work was highlighted and broadcast to two billion viewers in 187 countries. The world was shown that while working with those children Walcott decided to create more hospitable conditions for them since the facilities were not adequate. She helped raise about $100,000 in charity for the creation of a new children’s ward.

Bobby Ackbarali who is in South Africa with the TT team had his moment of pride when the gown that Walcott wore was a finalist for the World Designer Award.

Eventually beauties from 109 countries were whittled down to 15 semi-finalists with Trinidad and Tobago being the second country to be called after India and before Angola, Russia and South Africa.

Since 2005 the Beauty with a Purpose winner automatically makes the semi-finals but Miss Trinidad and Tobago World 2008 went a step further as she is the first and only winner to place in the top three.

Asked what makes her the best delegate for the Miss World title Walcott quoted from former South African president, Nelson Mandela stating, “A good mind and a good heart form a wonderful combination”, and from her own father who she said always told her “to whom much is given much is expected”. Walcott stated that she had that mind and heart and was prepared to give her all.

Then just before the announcing of the results Miss TT was asked about her South African experience leading up to yesterday’s final. She said, “I came here a girl, I will leave here a woman.”

Julia Morley, CEO of Miss World then named Miss Trinidad and Tobago second runner-up, India first runner-up and Russia’s Kseniya Sukhinova, Miss World 2008. The 21-year-old blue-eyed blonde and 58th Miss World beauty takes over from Zhang Zi Lin of China.

Culture Minister praises Gabrielle

Sunday, December 14 2008

Minister of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs, Marlene McDonald, yesterday conveyed the gratitude of the Government and people of Trinidad and Tobago to the Miss Trinidad and Tobago Miss World delegate Gabrielle Walcott, for being chosen the second runner-up in the 2008 Miss World Competition.

In a release issued yesterday McDonald noted Walcott’s achievement in copping the first place in the “Beauty with a purpose” segment of the competition, and also noted that Walcott’s gown was the second place winner in the “World Designer Award” for her evening gown.

She stated that the Government of Trinidad and Tobago remains conscious of the tremendous opportunity afforded by the Miss World pageant for the promotion of our country and the development of delegates like Miss Walcott as possible role models for our young women.

McDonald then said, “As in previous years therefore, the Government provided the financial support necessary to assist in enabling our delegate to not only prepare herself, but to compete and produce results such as that which we celebrate today and of which the country takes immeasurable pride.”

When Newsday spoke with franchise holder for the Miss World and Miss Universe competitions, Peter Elias earlier he said, “Peter Elias and Associates is grateful for whatever support we have received from the Government; however, support has been our greatest challenge of all.”

It is public knowledge that Elias has had to struggle to get promised support over the years.

This year was no different in that the first installment from the government was received one day before Miss Universe representative Anya Ayoung-Chee left for the competition.

By that time Elias had spent more than that first $100,000. preparing her for competition.

Other financial support came in August and late November, after Walcott already left for South Africa causing a strain on preparations.

Eventually the government gave approximately two-thirds of the budget necessary to have delegates properly represent this country.

Nevertheless McDonald said, “The Ministry again encourages the private sector and the national community in general, to partner with the franchise holders in respect of future competitions and, in particular, the provision of assistance to local charities selected by future delegates.”

The Ministry, on behalf of the Government took the opportunity to again applaud the efforts of Elias and Associates, for their continued efforts in preparing our delegates for the competitions.

Gabby, we thank you for representing T&T so well. You did excellent. A job well done!. I am extremely happy that Gabby won the Beauty with a Purpose award and was also one of the finalist for best designer award. What an accomplishment. Second runner up Miss World finals/Beauty with a Purpose Winner/Queen of the Caribbean Winner/ finalist in Top Model and Beach Beauty. You represented your country great.

I hope that the government step up and give the much needed financail support that PE&A needs. They need as much help as they can get. As mAXIMUS said, people know about T&T just because of the track records at both Miss Universe and Miss World.

Thank you Gabby!!!!!

Angola was a mess in her interview. she was speaking english but i had no clue what she was saying. plus I think the host felt like a dork for cutting Gabby off, so maybe he wanted to give her some extra time.
Its 248am i gotta work at 830 i should go to sleep but im so happyyyyy. Gabby was also in the top 3 for best dress (usa won) and she won the beauty with a purpose.

The eyes of the world were on one stage when Kseniya Sukhinovia from Russia was crowned Miss World in a glittering, star-studded ceremony at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, the City of Gold.

The 2008 Miss World Festival, a record breaking year in the number of contestants taking part, has seen 109 beautiful and talented contestants spend an unforgettable month in South Africa. However, there could only be one winner and the applause rang out in the packed Convention Centre as Julia Morley, Chairman of the Miss World Organisation and of the international panel of judges, announced the winnerâ??s name.
Kseniya Sukhoinova smile spoke a thousand words to a worldwide TV audience of over 2 billion as she was crowned by last year`s Miss World, Zilin Zhang.

First runner-up was Trinidad and Tobago followed by India as second runner-up. The other two finalists were South Africa and Angola.

To be honest I think Julia wanted Russia from day 1 so Gabby could have been perfect and it would have been the same result.
Great job, she was so calm and amazing. One of the best Tnt has ever sent. And to think shes one of the shortest girls.

The only continental queen that I think is safe is India since I don't see anyone strong from that region although China has a very beautiful face. I have to admit that I agree with Gabby and Miss Bahamas being the top 2 in the Caribbean region-I know everyone else on the bigger forums are mostly saying DR is the best but I just have some serious doubts about her after seeing some recent photos-yes she looked good-but I got no personality from them. I really don't like SA and Brazil and I would not miss either from the semis but realistically, SA is probably guaranteed a semi-finalist spot.
By far, the most competitive region this year is Europe-Ukraine, Spain and Russia seem to be the best-any one of them could be the continental queen.

Expect this list to change quite a bit when they update it in a few days-according to globalbeauties, they are not too certain how good some of the pre-arrival favorites look because they have not seem much of them them in candid photos so this would explain why some ladies seem out of place on the chart (if you get my meaning).

[> [> Subject: Globalbeauties refrain from making predictions? REALLY? The owners of GB are also the owners of Miss Brazil World, did you expect them to say otherwise? I dont see Miss Brazil being continental Queen, nor do I even think she deserve to make the cut, She seems like she mised the pageant she was to go to and that was Miss Earth. She likes to plant and that is great for her and for our world but I dont see a Miss World winner or Continental Queen.

...the only pageant that I personally think Brazil may have a chance of placing in based on merit is Miss Earth. I don't what what appeal people have for her.

Hey guys, I checked and pics are not available yet (I know it's been over 8 hours since delegates started arriving in relatively good numbers. I am happy to see that Gabby has today off to rest after that very long trip. Tomorrow they are supposed to go sight seeing and may film some segments for the final.

Beauty With A Purpose

Trinidad and Tobago has taken the last fast-tracked place into the Miss World Semi-Final after receiving the `Beauty With A Purpose` Award.

This year`s winner has just been announced during the 58th Miss World Final show and was presented with her trophy by Tumisho.

Trinidad and Tobago said: `I have worked very hard with a children`s specialist hospital unit to make a difference and I am so excited to be going through to the Semi-Final. But the real reward for me is the difference I have been able to make to lives of people in my home country.`

`Beauty With A Purpose` recognises the achievements of the contestants and their licence holders for their outstanding charity work in their local communities.
Julia Morley, Chairman, MWO, who initiated the `Beauty With A Purpose` Award specifically to recognise efforts of charity and good deeds, said: `The standard of work submitted by this year�s contestants was truly amazing.`
Trinidad and Tobago now joins the other four Fast Track Semi-Finalists Espinoza Marroquin Anagabriela, Mexico; Kseniya Sukhinova, Russia; Natalie Olivia Griffith, Barbados and Alexandra Helga Ivarsdottir from Iceland in tonight�s Final 15.

The excitement is growing as 10 more Semi-Final places are to be announced by the judges. Fifteen contestants will now go forward to contest tonight�s Miss World Semi-Final.

oh gosh dis black dress looking HOT! looks like a fusion pattern, african and asian. btw trini77 see what i was talking about the pushing up thing? look at pic one, she looks quite normal there compared to the pic of her with russia where she seems to be arching her back more. it could be the angle but the angle is not that different to me. btw...that slit on the silver dress rather high....lol. I'm curious to know what is the silver material on her arm below that silver bangle...any suggestions anyone?

haha check it the pic with gabby hugging the other black girl! gabby's arm looks quite strong and the black girl fingers are poised like she is about to drink tea....british style :D

That black dress is hot! It complemets her very well. The girl Gabby is hugging is Miss Barbados who is already a top 15 semifinialist. To be quite honest, that silver gown in my opinion is difficult to wear. I am sure she turned quite a number of heads with that number.

I think we see things differently-I don't think for one second that she is pushing the dress up-actually she is standing more erect and I think the gown was designed to "push the assets up"-I think this is a Bobby Ackberali creation (well if I believe Newsday anyways) and the boobs are supposed to be up-Remember Valene last year-for BB I saw very little boobs but for the finals "BOOBS GALORE" (forgive the expression) but it was very tastefully done.

Anyways, sticking with the boobs topic-am I the only one on here who remembers in the 1990s when the reigning MW would be on the judging panel for the MW finals and I totally remember thinking that I never realized how much boobs the winners had until then. I really don't think Mrs. Morley is afraid of the big boobs-only if they are too plastic looking or come with an attitude, then I think she is turned off. Zi Lin aside, MW does not really crown the pencil thin top model type. It's beauty is more Eurocentric. If boob jobs were a turnoff then we would not have had 5 Miss Worlds from Venezuela.

Anyways, I can't wait to hear what takes place for the finals (yes no video feed). If Gabby wins beauty with a purpose I personally think she is MW2008 if she interviews well onstage...but for now, I will predict that if she wins Beauty with a purpose then she is at least 2nd-runner up.

O.K. It would be interesting to see if we have a shock top 3-T&T as MW, SA as 1st-RU and Venezuela as 2nd-RU. Anyways, MW is totally unpredictable. Let's just pray that Gabby does well.

hey trini77, i see where ur coming from. i think it maybe a case of the first time i've seen one of girls compete with "enhancements" already done if u kno what i mean. the way i see it is that its all well and good for the girls if they choose to do that but like T&T also has a rep for sending up competitive girls who are all natural (as far as i kno in terms of the natural part). not one of our delegates have been compared to a latin delegate and especially not in the surgery department. i'm just voicing the "push up" issue because of the pics i've seen and not wanting her to come across as "hoochie" in anyway! the least things we give ppl to make negative comments about the better!

the good thing is that miss world so far has not been crowning the gorgeous model types like miss universe, i guess they want miss world to be more the approachable beauty!

at the end of the day, i supporting gabby all d way.....big "enhancements" or not...lol

p.s. u notice trini77, how we (the true fans) could have a disagreement and a different pov and not end up fighting at each other throats? some ppl need to take a hint...but i aint calling names nah!

You're absolutely hilarious...and yes I am Trinidadian. My remaining family in Trinidad now reside in Valsayn. We're originally from San Juan, or Sawa (not sure how that sounds british to you). It, like the dilect from which it is usually spoken has no resemblance to the british proper english, so really, don't kid yourself. It's funny to me that Trinidadians perceive the british accent to be a measure of class (that's why so many Trinis fake it I assume). That excuse about it being a british colony would have worked 50 years ago, but alas mother England left the country to it's own devices and it's OWN culture and dialect continued to flourish; independant of the initial influence. Jamaica has much the same story, and an accent (they don't hide) that reflects it.

To someone who didn't know better, your weak excuses might have meant something. That being said, I've got to tell you, those people who ask if your accent is british...are obviously trying to say in a kind way, "admit it you're not from England and you're not fooling anyone"...clue in already. I am so embarassed by people like you, you make Trinis seem like they don't have a culture of their own to be proud of.

Persist in negating my heritage if it entertains you, truly some exchange should be in order given the tremendous "entertainment" value I am getting out of Miss Trinidad's atrocious helium filled appendages that Trini77 seems to be so proud of. She's pageant pretty, but the height, the boobs, strike one, strike two...I'm just waiting for the stripper heels.

Well really, "Ent yeh know ah don come teh macko an spread talk so ol yeh let be nah" oooops there goes my british accent again :)

Ok, so I get it. And to be honest I have nothing against your views. The fake accent is a pet peeve of mine too. Speaking properly to alot folks= the "Corn-vunt axe-unt".

And to be honest most of these folks live in the same area you mentioned your family lives. However, I`ve never met Gabby (and I don`t think you have either, maybe I`m wrong) so I dont know if that was an act or not...so I`m not going there.

I admit I didnt like her actions, she tried abit too hard for my liking. Moving on though- with regards to the implants which you hate so much (yes...ok wonderful maybe you are au natural, no to implants, no to makeup, no to weave, no to relaxer...etc) Hey I respect that also. But the point is it comes down to choice. So if she WANTED to get her boobs done, who are you to judge her? She isn`t the first and she damn sure wont be the last.

And I guess finally I just want to know- since you have a major problem with her why do you come here then? Wont it annoy you even more to see said implants plastered all over the forum? Why waste your time?

...anyone can come on the internet and claim to be from T&T or Mars for all I care. It does not matter. No real Trinbagonian would come on here and just have 100% of negativity towards Gabby, or any T&T rep for that matter. I already have an idea of who is this "not impressed" person and in my nearly 30 years on this planet I have never seen a Trini spell dialect that way. To be bashing incessantly, is ridiculous. Yes she is short but still made it to the semis of BB and Top Model when alot of ladies failed to (shouldn't it be something to be happy about). The fake boobs-wait a minute let's talk about all the fake boobs that for decades the Lain and european ladies have had not to mention the liposuction and rib removal-this is the same beauty that Trinis like to go "GA GA" for but let one Trini lady do something that she thinks could advance her further in the competition and everyone has to pong. And for everyone saying Gabby is pushing up the breast-in most pics she is not. Her frame is very compact and tight unlike some of the latin ladies who I might add have bigger implants.

P.S. I am pretty sure my dialect is in tact because up to this year when I was in T&T people were like "you have no accent." I am sorry that you think speaking standard english is like a curse or something-trust me if Wendy spoke in dialect for the prelim interview she would have never made it to the top 10 of MU. Come on people, this is not a political meeting in T'dad where dialect could be appreciated. She is on a world stage and she has to adjust. My gosh people, I have been in the room with and given presentations to elite people (nobel prize winners, major US philanthropists, scientsists, etc) and even I was critiqued as needing to reduce the strength of the foreign accent. Gabby was in the US for a while-she wants to be an acctress-do you really noone told her to pay attention to her accent. Gosh people, fake accent my backsi#e! If she wanted to be fake she would sound American. Even my closest friends have told me I have a strong British accent when giving presentations.

...I was finally able to see the video-my question is "what fake accent?" I am happy to see that she was very animated in the video because this is meant to attract attention for the voting-even if you think she was "trying to hard" you will still remember her after seeing all the vids from the Caribbean delegates for that very same fact. Remember this is for the online voting public-I am glad to see that PE&A made her change up the professional, mature "vote for me" vids that our reps have done before- I always remember the vid of a certain other Caribbean delegate where she was literally hopping around in and extremely animated (fortunately she was able to stand to film hers and not confined to a chair like Gaaby) and I thought to myself-"give the public what it wants for these vids."

It seems every year when a new Miss T&T is crowned there is thess negative posts. I think if you dont like her why bother yourself coming on a forum where most people are in support of her and behind her 100 percent?. This forum is plastered with Gabby's pictures are positive comments for her. Why will you want to suffer yourself the pain of being overwhelmed with all the well wishers?.

Gabby is a fantastic girl and has done remarkably well. I applaud her efforts in being the best that she can be. For your information. Being a former british colony has alot to do with it. I also if it is true that Trini's look at the british accent as some sought of classy accent. It is not just Trini's. You need to take a closer look at things then make your comments.

It is also a fact that when Trini's speak without the native dialect. They do sound british. You said you are Trini but your words says otherwise.

There are many people who talk the way Gabby does. I dont understand why this is even an issue. If you are Trini and talking to someone who is not country. We all know you will speak without your trini dialect. I am sure "Not Impressed" that even you if you are really Trini will change the style of your speach if you are having a conversation with someone or a group on indiviuals from another country.

I am really confused by some of your comments. Is speaking standard english "not having a culture"?.

Gabby is a true gem and is in everyway a true representation of a Trinidadian. Go Gabby!!!!

First of all I am the last person in the world who would object to delegates having plastic surgery, trust me on this :) Most delegates have implants, but Gaby's are of the poorest quality I have seen in many years (not the latin standard). They are sitting WAY too high and quite simply; they make her look cheap (and by extension, also Trinidad). The dated overly provocative wardrobe also doesn't help. This deeply upsets me because once again Peter and his "associates" have gotten it very WRONG. Why they didn't opt for a revision surgery baffles me, they had plenty of time and should have done so when the (very obvious) problem was identified. Any legitimate surgeon would have done the revision at no additional cost.

The only thing that I am sure will be more offensive than this choice will be the predictably horrid gown PE selects for her to match the stripper styled platforms I am sure he is adamant on. I'm cringing just to think what poorly cut boring outdated gown will be framing Trinidad once again. Why doesn't he just contract in some help, or make an alliance with another country's pageant prep team? That's what the latins do. An alliance with Magali Febles' Dominican team might just be in your reach if you play your cards right.

Secondly, Trini77, you live your life on this board...plain and simple. You think that it belongs to you and that you are the all seeing all knowing omnipotent eye of pageantry that we must all bow down to...GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD...YOU ARE NOT...WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS. PS - Don't talk to me about spelling mistakes...I read your posts enough to know that you are no scholar.

Thirdly, fake british accents internationally are laughed at so I reserve my right to laugh again, ha ha. There is no reasonable argument that supports acceptance of such behaviour other than citing a lack of confidence in one's one origins.

Lastly, style of speech (ie. grammar, word usage and sentence composition) is not synonymous with 'accent'. They relate to two very different aspects of speech

...and no, I never adjust my accent.

Where do I start, first of all. It is sad that you still decided to come on this forum in the midst of all these fans of Gabby to defame her. Are you not feeling irritated by the fact that this entire forum is literally plastered with her pictures and well wishers?. Maybe you are. Is this why you feel the need to say only negative things about her?.

Do you have anything positive to say?. Or are you just in hate of everything that is Trinidad and Tobago?. Once again, you keep saying you are a Trini, but have you read your comments?. You sound very bitter to Trini's in general.

First you had a problem with Gabby's accent, then it was her breasts. Now, its about the clothes she wears. For the record, alot of people think that Gabby's breast are just fine. I dont know what problem you talk about that needed to be fixed.

PE&A has been seen as one of the best teams in pageantry. He has created great cutting edge designs and alot of people do like it. I dont know where you come from with this "outdated" comments that just sounds really ludicrous!.

You seem stuck on the idea of horrid gowns? What gown or gowns in your opinion has been so horrid and as you said stripper like platforms that the Miss T&T's has worn?

Secondly "Not Impressed", PE&A has contracted other designers to create gowns for Miss T&T. Last year Bobby A. designed Valene's gown and he is also the designer for Gabby's gown this year. I think you need to do a little research before commenting.

Why in this world will PE&A want to team up with the Dominican team or whoever it is?. PE&A have proven to be a great world class team. They have proven to be on top with their sense of style, great training methods or preparations of the girls. I dont think they need the help of the latin countries. You talk about getting associated with them as some sought of priviledge. T&T has done way bettter than alot of these latin countires alot of times. So, what do you think about Miss Dominican Republic this year?.

You keep insisting with this view of someone having a fake british accent. Again, Gabby speaks perfecrtly fine and sounds 100 percent Trini and showcases the variety of the culture that is Trinidad and Tobago!!. What origins exactly are you talking about?. If you want to talk about origins then we go right back to T&T as a former british colony and thats where english became the language that is the language spoken in T&T. So, quit trying to defend something that can not be defended. You are making yourself look really bad now.

No one said that grammar or word usage in a sentence is the same as with speaking in a accent. We all know that standard english is understood no matter what accent its spoken in. But, you talk about you dont change your style of speech. So, I assume when adressing a group or indiviuals that are not from your country you speak with the day to day trini words?. You know, the ones you speak with your friends etc?. Most people know that when speaking standard english you do sound different.

Also T&T is very diverse and Gabby represents that all the way!!!

That's a riot...Bobby Ackbarali is not a real fashion designer, nor is Peter. Their designs are OUTDATED and outside the realm of actual fashion. I can look in my own closet to find an assortment of ACTUAL designer gowns, can you? Do you even know what's showing in Milan for the spring shows?? No, the closest you've ever gotten to actual fashion is sorting through 'made in china' bolts of fabric in Port of Spain. Don't YOU lecture ME. Their designs belong in the Seventeen Magazine Prom Edition with the other poorly cut ill-inspired designs. Their skill is really quite limited to the trained eye. It doesn't matter where you're from, it's your original interpretation of fashion and ever evolving talent that makes you shine; just look at Carlos Miele. Peter and Bobby just don't have what it takes to be called designers. They are unoriginal, they are dressmakers. To be sure if you yourself really agree with me just hold their work to the standard that I am forced to; the mid-range international standard. It's not the highest standard, it's the bare minimum. Focus on composition of the gowns not cost of the gowns.

You're arguments have no merit so I won't bother responding to any of your other silly remarks. You're too far inside your own bubble to see any flaws within the Trinidadian system. I don't hate Trinidad or Trinidadians; just the excess of stupidity and ignorance that prevails among certain individuals on this board.

That being said, I'll let you go back to your delusions of grandeur and save you from the harsh reality of what is truly lacking for you to have a crown. Miss World is the poor man's Miss Universe so good luck to winning this year's set of rhinestones. Like I said before...you'll need it.

To be honest I got no beef that this person hates Gabby. Not everyone will like her and thats a fact. But I can do without the condescending and judgmental attitude. This person just sounds like she thinks she is better than everyone. A waste folks, lets focus on better things.

To be completely honest if I can be without getting bashed on here, Gabrielle talks like a normal white Trinidadian person to me. British? Maybe, but everyone here knows that white Trini's talk a whole lot different than the rest of the population on the island. It’s hardly spoken with any of the “Creole” Trini words and phrases. No slang, I mean.
Just my two cents.

I am so glad to know that the video of gabby's foundation, "Just Because" has won a spot to be played on the night of the Miss World show. I am always touched when stories from her project air on the local news cast. I am so proud of my country right now. Even if she doesn't win, my heart is now content. I am always so sad looking at the cancer patients as they air there stories on national TV. I am proud to know that others have felt the same way and hence found Miss T&T deserving of a spot in the Beauty with a pupose challenge. Way to go Gabby! Way to go! You make me proud to be a Trinbabgonian. Thanks a million! See you on Pagaent night with or without that crown, we'll definitely see you!

Hey everyone Gabby made top four in beauty with a purpose with her project with the just because foundation where she opened a pediatric children's ward at mount hope. The video will air with three others on the night of the show. Other finalists were Mexico, Kenya and Hungry. At that point the beauty with a purpose fast track winner will be announced. The video was done by Christian Fluke and narrated by Gabby herself, this announcement was made at the charity dinner where our national gift received the highest bid after a piece from South Africa. Congrats to Gabby.

...as I predicted, Gabby is in the running for beauty with a purpose. Thank you so much Adrian, Pete and Alyson for your tireless work with our young lady and for such excellent representation of T&T on the world stage. I hope everything works out with the funding. You guys deserve better than you have been getting.

Go for the crown Gabby! Congrats! I know you can win this one!

...Russia's vote for me vid was not the best, Mexico did not looked a bit lifeless for top model so....I think it's an open race for Gabby. I hope she wins but at the very least I want to see her as 2nd-runner up. Can't stress this enough-Interview! Interview! Interview!

On another note the rumor is also circulating that the Jamaican camp seems very certain that Miss Jamaica is Queen of the Caribbean already since they are doing the outfits for the MW opening number. I just don't see this happening with the other 6 judges on the 8-member prelim panel.

Pray for Gabby everybody! This is the closest we have been to the MW crown since Michelle in 1995.

A word from the webmaster...
Comments will be removed that I find offensive or go out side the bounds of good taste,
there should be no need for use of curse words on this site, the english language is way to huge to stoop so low.

If you don't like the rules you are free to express yourself elsewhere... Again I did not create this site for folks to be mean or hostile to each other. No way would I want the contestants to feel degraded by comments placed on here...The people who want to represent TNT should feel proud to come to this site, constructive criticism is welcomed not destructive.
If you feel hurt that your comments were removed,
just imagine how hurt the contestants and folks you bash react when reading a posting that is outlandish.
