Subject: Miss World!!!
Author: Pageant fan [Edit]	Date Posted: 22:23:09 12/13/08 Sat So the newest news is in--right from Global Beauties!!! RUSSIA IS THE NEW MISS WORLD!!! 21-year old Miss Russia, Ksenia Sukhinova, was crowned Miss World 2008 at the conclusion of a spectacular event televised live to over 2 billion people in 130 countries. Sukhinova, 1.78 m student and model from the Tyumen region in Russia, will spend her year making appearances for various charity and social causes and attending high-end events and shows. The 1st runner-up was Miss India, Parvathy Onamakuttan; and the 2nd runner-up was Miss Trinidad & Tobago, Gabrielle Walcott, who also won the "Beauty with a Purpose" fast-track for her work with children suffering from cancer. Also in the top 5 were the contestants from Angola (Brigith dos Santos) and South Africa (Tansey Coetzee). It was announced the day before that the Miss World 2009 pageant will take place again in Johannesburg, next December. Miss United States (Lane Lindell) walked away with the World Designer Award, given to the best evening gown. Completing the top 15 semi finalists were the contestants from Barbados, Brazil, Croatia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Ukraine and Venezuela. The panel of judges was composed by 8 notable personalities: 1) Theatre Stage Director, China and North America - Aminurta Kang 2) International Ambassador for Miss World - Krish Naidoo 3) Group Executive Public Commercial Services SABC - Pearl Luthuli 4) Chairman and CEO of Miss World LTD - Julia Morley 5) Chief executive of the Joburg Tourism Company - Lindiwe Mahlangu 6) Chairperson of African Fashion International - Precious Moloi-Motsepe 7) President of World Travel - Graham Cooke 8) Former Miss World and President of her own charity in Puerto Rico - Winelia Merced Forsyth 109 contestants competed in the 58th edition of the Miss World pageant, the largest number ever. The event also had performances by Alesha Dixon and popular rock band McFly who moved the audience with their catchy music.

link didnt work but there were pretty trashy pics of the current MUC winner so....apparently it doesnt matter as long as there is no total nudity shrug Standards are different (lower or higher) for every event locally, nationally and worldwide. Are you trying to have her ousted? (NT) -- Christi, 14:33:50 12/09/08 Tue I Dunno Why Its Not Working But If Ya Click The Link And Then Press "Find A Model" In The Upper Right And Scroll Down To Ksenia It Works...Sam's Pics IMO Are Nothin Compared To Ksenias....Ksenia Has An AMAZING Body For Sure, But Its Just Kinda Trashy With The Mardi Gras Beads Coverin Her -- Cristina, 15:00:56 12/09/08 Tue Oh great, another "model". I think there should be some standards or else MUC will start standing for Miss Unclothed Canada. I hope this girl comes nowhere close to winning. And I don't even think she's that good looking. d (NT) -- Brent, 15:47:07 12/09/08 Tue She's a beautiful girl, and those are legitimate modelling pictures (not unlike what you might find in Vogue, W, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, etc).. not like the t&a stripper pictures that we have seen of Samantha.. (NT) -- -, 18:32:16 12/09/08 Tue I agree, but she's topless in half of them, not even in a way that looks "tasteful". It reminds me of Mardi Gras, like someone is standing behind the camera, tempting her to get more naked by waving beads at her. Samantha's pictures were kind of racy but she always kept her top on. Ksenia's an amazing model though, the best picture there is the one where she's running to catch her plane. -- Cristina, 19:13:33 12/09/08 Tue I actually agree, she is not on a club promo in a stripper out fit. If you go to europe this is normal. I think she is beautiful look at the polorid shot in the tank no make up OMG stunning. (NT) -- Michelle, 19:16:08 12/09/08 Tue I do agree. There is a difference when it comes to taking nude pictures to be more editorial than ... well, you know what. Not because a model's top is off doesn't make them a poor role model for girls around the world. It's 2008--it's about time women became more empowered with what they can do with their bodies as long as it fosters self-respect and free will. (And world peace. LOL) (NT) -- Mike D, 19:41:23 12/09/08 Tue Mike, I agree with your statement about women being more empowered, but I don't think showing one's tits necessarily achieves that goal. I'd like my Canadian representative, to have a modicum of class (as well as be Canadian), instead of some recent immigrant stripper/model. (NT) -- Brent, 13:06:49 12/10/08 Wed LOL! I do see your point, belive me. All I'm saying is, there's still this double standard between men and women. Men can appear topless all the time (of course), show their butts, etc (e.g., Mario Lopez on NIP/TUCK), and everyone's all hot and bothered. But when a female model or celeb shows her breasts, then she's a harlot. For me, it really is all about the intent behind the image as opposed to what body part was shown. Some people are comfortable in their own skin, and that is cool with me. (NT) -- Mike D, 22:29:59 12/10/08 Wed Well, Mike, there is a difference. After all, Mario Lopez' butt is in fact a national treasure. :-D (NT) -- Brent, 00:42:11 12/13/08 Sat Well, at least it's better and done more tastefully than "tianna loxx". (NT) -- just sayin', 23:40:05 12/09/08 Tue

You have some very pretty candidates there, Michelle - especially Chelsea Durocher. MUC and MWC should hire you to recruit for their contests. (NT) -- Brent, 12:24:43 12/09/08 Tue Agreed 100%, you should get Katie to do MUC 2009. -- Cristina, 17:02:24 12/09/08 Tue Thank you, Some of the photos are bad, but the girls all are really pretty and different, and in shape. They are all nice girls too. I had so many great girls this year. The only thing I wish was I had a ottawa and a nothern girl in the top 16. I had girl from sudbury and kirkland lake and ottawa in the pageant but they did not make it. I am now offf to Alberta to do a pageant there. (NT) -- Michelle Weswaldi, 16:01:40 12/09/08 Tue

Subject: How many times do you think a contestant should compete in a pageant, before they realize they should just give up, and it is not in their books to win.

Until they age out, or go broke trying :) Seriously not all girls are doing it for the 'win'. Some girls know in thier hearts that they arent in the league of the winners but they still compete...comradarie, experience, entertainment, chance to travel, the opportunity to dress up, a reason to wear a tiara. They all have different reasons. Some are in it for the win, and most of the time they do have a chance or they are being 'lead' into believing they have a chance. Most of the girls who dont have a chance really do know it deep down inside (unless they are completely delusional) but regardless, if they arent hurting anyone, and they are having fun copeting, who are we to say they shouldnt compete? Besides it makes the stand outs stand out more if there are some average girls, doesnt it? (NT) -- Christi, 21:23:06 11/30/08 Sun Krystle Stewart, the current Miss USA tried like a 100 times before she won. (I think at least 5). (NT) -- Brent, 21:43:02 11/30/08 Sun There ya go! Every year there is a new line up of girls so its not like a delegate is competiing in the 'same competition' every time. Some years may have stronger girls, some years may have weaker...wouldnt it suck to always wonder 'what if?' rather than take the chance (regardless of other peoples opinions because no matter what anyone says its something you do for yourself and no one else so you should be the only one who matters). (NT) -- Christi, 22:13:14 11/30/08 Sun My thoughts on this question are a bit torn, b/c although I agree that a girl who is a true contender, but who may need some polish, training, or time to mature, should try again if she doesn't win the first time... There are girls who really should NOT return. I think as a potential contestant, you must be honest w/ yourself, and if you don't have some of the basic requirements of a winner (like the obvious - a beautiful face), I think they are wasting their time and money chasing an unattainable dream. And as for the point by the above poster saying that "not all girls are doing it for the 'win'"... of course they are. Everyone wants to win! (NT) -- --, 09:09:18 12/01/08 Mon Well, my question then is, "What's a 'true contender?'" Kandace Krueger competed in Miss Texas USA five times before winning the title, going on to win Miss USA and placing 2nd runner up at Miss Universea. And she didn't even make the semi finals the first four times she competed at Miss Texas USA! I agree that if a young lady really wants it and enjoys competing, she should compete until she ages out or doesn't have the money to compete again. You just never know what the judges will want today, as opposed to last year! (NT) -- Pageant Pauley, 16:22:10 12/08/08 Mon Reply -- Natasha, 15:03:08 12/01/08 Mon Everyone who enters the MUC pageant wants to compete at Miss Universe. Otherwise they would choose a smaller and cheaper pageant to enter. (NT) -- --, 09:06:09 12/02/08 Tue Why are you talking for everyone? You don't know them. (NT) -- Talk for yourself, 09:18:56 12/02/08 Tue i have competed in mulitple pageants and muc was actually the least expensive one. at least if your from the gta....so that doesn't make much sense as a lot of the repeat MUC girls are from the gta (NT) -- ...., 16:56:01 12/02/08 Tue isnt the entry fee for MUC around 3000$ unless beautiesofcanada sponsor you. (NT) -- pageant, 18:42:09 12/02/08 Tue for gta participants it was 750 to be in the gta regional and then obviously you had to make it past that....so no i never paid 3000 (NT) -- ...., 19:41:32 12/02/08 Tue okay so how much is the entry fee if you make past the gta regionals? (NT) -- pageant, 14:59:21 12/04/08 Thu that's it I paid 750 one time and then was in the top six for gta so i advanced and then i never paid anything more. (NT) -- ....., 09:00:05 12/06/08 Sat Could you please explain what you mean by beautiesof canada sponsoring you? How is it any sort of fair that the organization would sponsor delegates?????? Wow. That is just so wrong on so many levels (especially if some are paying $3000 and some are competing in prelims!) (NT) -- Christi, 15:33:15 12/03/08 Wed i do it for world peace (NT) -- kidding, 19:08:17 12/01/08 Mon yes some may do it for the experience. but those who compete in the same pageant more than twice is in it to win. they think if they have a more expensive gown or be a bit thinner, or more toned they will have a better chance. first couple times is an experience, after that it is an interest to win. i understand if you were a finalist before, and you know where you need to improve in. but i think after three times its just sad and pathetic. and i dont mean just nationally, but also locally. some people will compete in local pageants 3,4,5, or even 10 times. is it worth doing? (NT) -- pageant, 18:40:22 12/02/08 Tue people can do anything they want, why does it affevct any of you. If they want to win, or don't, spend the money, get healtheir they can. Its no ones pergative then thier own. Look at chrystal stewart (NT) -- who cares???, 20:43:52 12/02/08 Tue oh so when samantha tajik competed what like 5x before she won MUC, she was only doing it for experience, and not for the win Christy? (NT) -- pageant, 16:17:01 12/08/08 Mon survey -- who cares 2, 08:51:20 12/03/08 Wed and furthermore the entire purpose of this forum is to allow people to voice their opinions on canadian pageants....i think this debate is interesting and since no has really picked on any one girl specifically (I mean said derogatory remarks regarding someone who has participated in multiple pageants) then why are you getting so upset and calling people "stalkers"// (NT) -- ....., 20:53:54 12/03/08 Wed

Some 18 year olds have the poise and maturity of older girls -- and some older girls act like immature brats (Tara Conner from USA 2006). I don't think you can generalize. As for Vanessa, she's probably pursuing more substantive things right now. And look at the "older girls" who represented Canada the last 2 years. They didn't place.

(NT) -- hl, 11:11:00 10/11/08 Sat Oh my god. she is breaktaking beautiful and she is even more beautiful than Miss Universe Canada 2008 and Miss World Canada 2008 and I think she should be in top five in Miss Teen World 2008/9. Well Done to Michelle Weswaldi. I think Michelle should send Katie to Miss Teen International pageant in Costa Rica and she can easily win it.

And she does! A little bit more prep (gym, interviews, poise) and we have ourself another fantastic MUC if not MU herself! Give her another year or so. She'll be ready.

The memories are the best keepsake of all, so take tons of pictures to revive those great experiences. When we competed at Miss World Canada, you were outstanding, so I know you will also shine at Miss World. You are beautiful and charming, so keep working that and you will rock the stage. Best of luck and bring home the crown!

Author: Mike D (3eGW) [Edit]	Date Posted: 01:44:10 11/08/08 Sat She looks smashing, of course, although Samantha's gown looks two sizes smaller/shorter on her. I wonder if Alice's Miguel de la Torre red number would've looked a lot better.

The show just wrapped up and Elena was not in semi-finals. I'm a quite surprised. What a pity. Spain won, Colombia second. (NT) -- Jimmy S., 10:42:25 11/08/08 Sat To be honest, I'm not that surprised.. There is no question that she is absolutely gorgeous, and she photographs incredibly. But when I watched her on stage last year at MUC, I was a little disappointed b/c I thought she was missing something.. That certain "spark". Maybe after a year, if she's working w/ a pageant coach, things are different. But from what I saw last year, and if she is still the same now, I'm not surprised she didn't place. (NT) -- jmo, 15:14:55 11/10/08 Mon Hmmm ... that is indeed a bit of a surprise. P.S. Jimmy, you goin' to MUC GTA PRELIMS 1 on the 22nd? (NT) -- Mike D, 21:12:59 11/08/08 Sat

tomf -- tomf, 04:34:28 11/06/08 Thu No it is not; it is a special award that has no impact on the selection of the semi-finalists, just as the swimsuit competition was also just a special award. The selection of the finalists is based on the pre-judging day which is a quick swimsuit walk in front of the judges and a three-minute interview (with no makeup).

Subject: Internet entrepreneur named Miss Oktoberfest
Author: Tommy () [Edit]	Date Posted: 09:18:30 10/07/08 Tue October 05, 2008 April Robinson The Record Oktoberfest Expo, a warmup to the Oktoberfest itself, was helped along by a $261,000 provincial grant. Miss Oktoberfest, Natalie MacNeil 22 of Kitchener taps a keg along with Kevin Schmitt. KITCHENER - Natalie MacNeil is using a 40-year-old platform to push a modern message. The 22-year-old Kitchener native and University of Waterloo graduate was crowned Miss Oktoberfest on Friday. The ambassador contest was treated as a beauty pageant until 2003. But MacNeil wants young girls to know it's beauty on the inside that matters. "I think it's really hard for little girls growing up," said MacNeil, an Internet entrepreneur who wants to start a Miss Oktoberfest blog. "When you stay true to yourself, that's when you're really a beautiful person." MacNeil is familiar with the pageant circuit. She has represented Canada as Miss Global in China, Miss Tourism in Tanzania, and International Model of the Year in South Korea. In all she's been to 50 countries. But none of those experiences will compare to being Miss Oktoberfest, she said. She remembers sitting along the parade route as a child, waiting to wave at Miss Oktoberfest. "It's really been a part of my life for as long as I can remember," she said of the Bavarian festival that begins Friday. MacNeil, who was having a photo shoot Saturday after getting fitted for a traditional dirndl, will attend more than 130 events over the next two weeks. She was chosen from 16 applicants who live within an 80-kilometre radius of Kitchener and Waterloo. Organizers used to invite applicants from across North America to compete in a pageant that included a swimsuit competition. Now, local women must show they have a range of experience and confidence to be a suitable festival ambassador and role model for young women. Since graduating from UW in June, MacNeil has launched a website for Internet entrepreneurs and keeps a blog, "Taking on the World in Four-Inch Heels." She hopes to bring some of her innovative ideas to the festival, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. "Whenever you have an anniversary, you can see how far we've come," she said. "Going into the next decade, we need to modernize the message." http://news.guelphmercury.com/News/BreakingNews/article/388525 Last edited by author: Tue October 07, 2008 11:29:16 Edited 2 times.

The red lipstick is a bit much, but it does make me think "LATINA". The corset definitely accentuates her figure. She seems very versatile becuase she looks different in every photo. I think its nice that she doesn't fit a cookie cutter image - and she really does look a Latina - strong candidate for international Latin events I think!

Im new to the pageant industry and to this forum...I want to introduce myself. Im Autumn =)

I was reading the earlier comments and I agree that Canada hasn't been sending very stong girls to MU the past few years. Its a shame cause Canada has the potential..in my opinion..to be one of the powerhouses. We have beautiful, smart, charming girls from all over the world! I think its a lack of preparation from BOC. Which is wierd because isnt the director from central or south america? If anyone knows how to do pagents its them. Girls in South America are so much more prepared even for a small local pageant than most girls here were prepared for MUC.

I was speaking to some girls who competed in MU 2008 and, being new to this industry, I was shocked at how much preperation they go through before MU...from learning how to do hair and make up..to public speaking..to walking. And this wasn't just a few classes here and there...this was 3 or 4 times a week for however many months they have before MU. From what I know BOC doesnt do that...or can someone fill me in on that.

Also with the national costume...the past 2 years have been a very sad attempt, if thats what you can call it. Put Canada's costume beside Colombia's, Thailand's, or Brazil's costumes and it looks like a joke. We have so much beauty to show the world..and all they can come up with is a simple hockey uniform or a plain native costume.

Im not trying to bash MUC I just think if Canada wants to be taken seriously at MU, BOC needs to step up and prepare these girls.

(NT) -- Pageant observer, 14:57:05 09/18/08 Thu I am not doubting that she is a nice girl and works hard in promoting the nonstereotypical pageant girl, but MUC does not look for inner beauty, they are looking for Alice P and Natalie G. type girls.

Some of them were not the tallest, or even the prettiest but I heard were amazing in their platform speech and interview. Lisa would be great at these aspects. I agree MUC is about only searching for model type, not about your wardrobe or how expensive your gown is. Lisa just does not fit the MUC category, which is the MUC organizations fault, not lisas fault. I would never enter a national pageant 3 times. What a waste of money.

Subject: Miss Latina Canada 2009: Diana Schoutsen
Author: ES Team Production [Edit]	Date Posted: 11:59:39 09/05/08 Fri 21 year old Diana Schoutsen is no stranger to the world of fashion and pageantry. The York University student majoring in Kinesiology found her calling at this 2009 Miss Latina Canada event on Sunday August 24 2008, winning the title on national television as part of the first televised reality series in the country. Diana had previously tried out for Canada’s Next Top Model and other national pageants; and while she may not have won those events, her calling seemed to be in the celebration of her cultural heritage. Schoutsen is both Latin American from her mother’s side (from Honduras) and Dutch, and has grown up on a dairy farm located in Binbrook Ontario, just north of Hamilton. Her country girl sincerity combined with her striking Latin-American features managed to captivate both the audience and judges. Among an array of products and prizes, Diana will be taking a trip to the Dominican Republic as part of her ambassadorial work, visiting Hollywood California as part of a scholarship to the New York Film Academy at Universal Studios, and representing Canada at international events around the world. She will have a busy year as a spokesperson to many causes and businesses in the country including collaborating on a fundraiser for children in Honduras. Miss Latina® Canada 2009 was an historical event for the Latin-Canadian community landmarking the very first national event in the country for the cultural community, with 22 women from across Canada competing for the national title. In the live televised taping on Sunday August 24, 2008 at the Holiday Inn Rooms & Suites in Markham, Ontario, 21 year old Diana Schoutsen of Halton Region was crowned the winner, in the organizations 5th year anniversary celebration. 1st Runner up was Rocio Challen of Montreal QC, 2nd runner up was Rosalba Vagge of Burnaby BC, 3rd runner up was Ana Laura Martinez Ibarra of Brampton ON, & 5th runner up was Johanna Almeida of London ON. All 22 contestants were part of the Miss Latina® Canada 2009: The Reality Series, the first of its kind in Canada – and also the first time in 17 years that a pageant has been given national television time in the country. The season premiere aired on Thursday August 28, 2008 on Nuevo Mundo Television, and Diana’s win will be part of the season finale taking place on September 25th, 2008. Diana’s very first appearance took place over the Labour day long weekend at Toronto’s oldest Hispanic Festival, where she was available for photos and autographs. We wish her all the best, and a successful year as Canada’s 2009 Latin-Canadian good will ambassador.

Subject: Miss Earth 2007
Author: Mike D [Edit]	Date Posted: 01:40:25 09/09/08 Tue Very little has been said on the Canadian board about Jessica Trisko as Miss Earth 2007, but having gone through the Miss Earth website and still remembering that killer answer she gave the night she won ... it makes me think she really is very bright and will someday be very successful. (I'm glad we've had people like her, Natalie and Nazanin represent us.) Here's the link to the Miss Earth website, http://www.missearth.tv/missearth.html. And I'm quoting a small bit of what was written about here, and it goes ... During the competition in Vietnam, Jessica quoted that "the waters which touch the shores of any country are the same waters which touch the beaches where I grew up. We don’t realize how close we are as one people, one planet, until we realize this. Every action we take affects every other person on earth. Please keep this in mind and let it be a daily inspiration to live a better, greener life for yourself and for the rest of the earth". Jessica’s inspiration as Miss Earth 2007 is that belief that we should never stop learning, living, and loving. With this philosophy in mind, Jessica embraces the world and all the experiences it has to offer, including the Miss Earth 2007 title.
