In reply to: PageantCritic 's message, "Her Presentation" on Sunday, July 13, 11:03:36pm

I can understand what you are trying to say but I totally disgree with you that we did not have the right young lady. Anya was great but her prelim SS walk was poor and her EG failed to dazzle within the first 5 seconds of her onstage. Maggie and Kenisha had really fantastic catwalk skills for the prelim so I have no idea why the heck they told Anya to walk like that. Peter should have gone with a form fitting gown for Anya. Additionally, from the semifinalist it was obvious they were intrested in the taller ladies even if they were not that pretty-period! I mean come on people-Hungary? JAPAN? SPAIN?-Anya was way better than them. Out of these 3 only Japann had a very stunning face but her body was just O.K.

For next year though, PE&A need to take a page from Osmel-5'7" is the minimum height and hopefully we don't crown anyone shorter than 5'9". How tall is Makeda O'Neil? I don't expect to see Valene at MT&TU09 so Peter and Calvin better start looking for ladies they can invite for the screening. Forget about if you find her in a mas camp modeling a costume-MUO does not care-the current MU dropped out of high school to model, had no sense that she was doing something inappropriate when at the children's orphanage (or something like that) she was paying more attention to her face in mirror hanging on the wall than to the kids and she is a bit immature. We are the only people here caught up with intelligence with beauty-a quality we should not lose but let's not forget which pageant we are sending our rep to.

I held back from saying this before but I can't help but think that one of the reasons why Anya was a favorite in Vietnam was because of the way she looked(Asian). I may be a little to critical again. But it stems from knowing that T&T coould of done better. Maybe if her presentation was better. But, lets focus now on MW. Hopefully PE&A regroup and make the right adjustments.

Trini77, you confuse me sometimes. First you say Anya was one of the best delegates yet and then you say that she did not do well in EG and SS, she didn't have great catwalk skills and that her figure is too muscular. What then was great about her. Secondly you say that PE&A should start looking for delegates and forget where the find them....since as we all saw last night Venezuela was one of the most immature and did not come across as intelligent. All this said if PE&A should not pay much attention where they 'pick up' delegates from why didn't Makeda or June go to the pageant then? Since you all agreed that they did not interview great nor had a great walk. In my opinion too many young women from T&T and other countries as well get sent to
MU and MW and they don't deserve it. A well read, accomplished, put together, intelligent woman would always be more refreshing to be around than an airhead with looks and boobs. You spoke about setting a standard and sticking to it,I strongly agree it is time to replace the standards that were present when Wendy won and before that in the olden pageant days. The Miss T&T is becoming too much of a modelling gig. Just because someone looks good in clothes does not mean she is pageant material. Its time to face that fact. Forget about trying to be shallow at least let our reps be remembered for being brilliant not form being dumb and still beating the odds.
