Finally got the motivation to post after the shocking, surprising exclusion of La Toya from the top 15 of Miss Universe. There are many reasons offered as to why La Toya did not place and I hope the team re group and take a good look at what the Miss U. pageant of today is looking for. I do believe in this team and I know they have what it takes to produce winners. They need to get out of the days of Wendy Fitzwilliam and focus on what the modern day Miss Universe is about. Look at the entire girl and her overall presentation on stage. Alot of people thought La Toya did not have that spark and vibrance on stage that was needed to advance far in the competition. Some thought they went a little to far with her body. La Toya is a great young woman and did an amazing job representing her country. I fully support the team and I know you all will learn from your mistakes and produce great representitives and winners. When does screening start for the next Miss Universe Trinidad and Tobago?. -- Welcome to the Miss Trinidad and Tobago Forum

I have to say FIRST AND FOREMOST that LaToya was a wonderful T&T representative and she did a superb job. That being said, now I have my 2 cents for the pageant company to cash-first you guys are great; you are definitely the right team to train our reps. for MU-in fact I wish Adrian was doing the interview prep. for our MW reps. also. Now about last year's local pageant-to be quite honest I was surprised when LaToya won-She had a stunning face but was 100% model in my book and maintained that "model" aura straight through the MU competition. I have no regrets about TT sending her to MU2010 but if she had placed it would have been "revolutionary" in my mind. Needless to say, she was a competitor but she was not what I would define as a beauty queen-she is just 100% model. Some models can make the transition to beauty queen very easily but in my mind she is the fist model TT ever sent to a beauty pageant.

I do have some concerns about the selection process for MT&TU though. From last year's competition, Ms. Arima by far had the best body -shoulders,cleavage,waist and hips (but the face was not that stunning) while Ms. Plymouth was by far the most photogenic (very MW material). Apart from that, in my mind, Jenna Marie Andre was supposed to be last year's rep. (and based on the top 15 at this year's MU pageant I can say she probably would have made it to top 10 at least). I just don't understand why a strong competitor like Jenna was dumped during the semis and then we had someone who had no chance of cracking the MU top 15 as the first runner up. I just want to stress to the new franchise holder- MU is first and foremost a BEAUTY PAGEANT- not a brains pageant-If you don't have the look then don't turn up to even compete.

Anyways, I am looking forward to MT&TU 2011. Hopefully it is in November. I would like to suggest though that the pageant company regularize the competition timing for MUT&T screenings so that the young ladies always know what week of every year is the MUT&T screenings.
