23-year-old chooses Miss Universe over the law

By RENATO GANDIA -- Sun Media -- The Edmonton Sun



Shannon MacKinnon will be competing at the Miss Universe Canada competition in Toronto in April. (SUN MEDIA/Darryl Dyck)


She kissed her dream of becoming a lawyer goodbye so she could embrace the stage and be a full-time performer and choreographer.

Now, Shannon MacKinnon is pursuing the crown of Miss Universe Canada and the chance to represent the country in the international competition this year in Vietnam.

"I no longer want to work in law, I now want to work in artistic education," said MacKinnon.

The 23-year-old, five-foot-seven beauty is one of two Edmontonians selected to compete with 60 other Canadian women in Toronto next month.

She was studying political science at the University of Alberta, but she put it on hold to pursue her love of dancing and performing arts.

"I missed dancing because I grew up dancing 65 to 70 hours a week," she said.

"University was very demanding. I quit dancing for a few months."

She said she struggled in an emotional tug-of-war between being a scholar and being an artist.

"And I know, I only have so many years that my body will co-operate with me before it starts to give me problems."

MacKinnon is not only passionate about dancing, she's also interested in charity work.

In the next couple of years, she wants to start her own art foundation for underprivileged children as well as her own performance company.

While those two are in the making, she works as a professional dancer and choreographer.

She does charity work for Edmonton Firefighter's Burn Treatment Society and wants to raise money for cancer research.

Joining a beauty pageant is something some of her friends least expected of her, while others thought it's a good fit, she said.

If MacKinnon doesn't get the national title, she's hoping to be a choreographer for So You Think You Can Dance, a popular reality TV show, when it comes to Canada.

I've just met a new friend here in Red Deer who claims she once held the title of Miss Red Deer. Judging by her age (45-48, not really a good q on a first meet) it was probably 20-30 yrs ago. I'd like to surprise her with an obvious interest that could establish my credibility. I cannot find any history of this pageant, although varous web hits indicate the existence of a "Miss Red Deer". Help.

Hola!

Hi from Miss World Canada 2008! I'm home now and quite logy.

Having met all 45 girls, I'm just at a point where I'm completely flabbergasted about who will win. Seriously! I'm floored at how well some of these girls move on stage and how well they can model.


Miss Sport was announced tonight: she's the lovely Rena Kawabata. She's stunning in person ... half-Japanese, half-French Canadian. Totally funky look with the short hair.


Those with previous national pageant experience:

-Lena Ma was Miss Chinese Toronto 04 and was loved at Miss Chinese International 05 but did not place.
-Laxmi Navkar was Miss Congeniality at MUC 07.
-Leah Ryerse was 4th at MWC 07.
-Shaileen Stanley was top 10 in MUC 06 (when Alice Panikian won).
-Shawna Pandya was a contestant in MWC 06.
-Simranjit Singh was top 15 at MUC 07 and is a former Miss India Canada AND Miss India Canada Worldwide.

Northern Ontario and BC had big locals that were well attended and sent wonderful delegates.

Other tidbits:
-Nicole Hammer modeled at NY Fashion Week last year.
-Mona Kiran went to my high school and was in grade 8 when I was in grade 13. Hysterical.
-Serena Just is now a brunette - her natural colour - and is full-blooded Chilean!
-I can't get over how many of the delegates speak 3 or 4 (or 5) languages. It's amazing.
-Marianne Corvellec is finishing her Masters degree in PHYSICS. Meanwhile, I dropped science after grade 10!

Everything is so well organized and everyone looks really happy. Tomorrow, more fun activities, meet and greet with the public and more rehearsals.
Friday: prelims and talent night.
Saturday: the big show!

G'nite!

More than just a pretty face
Billijane Gallant is competing at the 2008 Miss World Canada pageant for the right to help a vital charity


Miss World Canada contestant Billijane Gallant will represent Nova Scotia next month in the 2008 competition in Toronto.
Sarah Regan-The News

NEW GLASGOW – Beauty pageants are no longer about the contestant smearing Vaseline on her teeth and asking for world peace. The women participating in the 2008 Miss World Canada competition are beauties with a purpose.
This motto is precisely why Billijane Gallant, a 20-year-old from Pictou Landing, decided she wanted to represent Nova Scotia and compete for the title of Miss World Canada 2008.
"This competition is about more than looks," she said Saturday during an interview at Fibbers Pub and Eatery. "I love the fact that the winner gets to travel and do work for a children's charity. It would be such a great experience."
Gallant was at the New Glasgow pub to raise money to attend the competition in Toronto. Fibbers is also Gallant's official sponsor.
The Dalhousie nursing student will fly to Toronto next month to take part in a week of competitions including, swim wear, evening gown, talent and people's choice. She is up against 46 other delegates from across the county, two from Nova Scotia.
"It's going to be a tough competition," admits Gallant's grandfather, Neil MacDonald. "But she has a lot of talents other girls don't"
Gallant has a track record for being an active volunteer in her community. She has volunteered for the Terry Fox run and Relay for Life. And when she was a student at North Nova Education Centre she organized a campaign to give underprivileged girls the opportunity to buy prom dresses.
Gallant says she is ready for the competition. She has already purchased her evening gown and has been practising the violin for the talent portion.
The winner of Miss World Canada will go on to compete in the Miss World competition in September. She will also become the spokesperson for SOS Children's Villages Canada.
Gallant is asking for your help. The delegate's place in the competition depends on the public's vote. Gallant is asking the people of Pictou County to help push her into the top 15 by voting online at www.missworldcanada.com.

Posted By Karena Walter, kwalter@stcatharinesstandard.ca


Former tomboy Nicole Hemmer was more interested in running down a basketball court than strutting on a catwalk.
Now, she's trading in her high-tops for high heels.
The 18-year-old McMaster University student from Grimsby will be competing in her first beauty pageant in two weeks as a national finalist in Miss World Canada.
If the idea of the bathing suit competition makes her nervous, she doesn't show it.
"I feel comfortable. A little stress and nervousness, I always use it to propel forward and do the best I can," she said, adding the contest is an excellent opportunity.
"When you believe in yourself and the beauty of your dreams, you can accomplish anything in life. There’s no limit."
Hemmer seems determined to take home the Miss World Canada title, while juggling first-year courses in kinesiology at McMaster, working on campus as a key clerk and volunteering.
That drive is seen in a long list of achievements in sports and academics, including graduating from Blessed Trinity High School on the honour roll and being nominated for Grimsby Youth Citizen of the Year in 2007.
So what does she think of joining a pageant and facing widely held stereotypes about beauty queens?
Hemmer said if beauty can capture attention, why not use it?
"It gives you a larger voice to be heard, like a microphone in society," she said. "I know I can make a difference.... I'm an excellent role model for young women in Canada."
Her first inkling that modelling might be part of her future came when she was 13 and an aunt living in New York City gave her a professional photo shoot as a birthday gift.
She discovered she was comfortable in front of the camera and, as a self-admitted tomboy, was surprised to see herself in a dress.
"I didn't even recognize myself and I didn’t know I could look like that," she said.
Still, Hemmer continued her devotion to sports, playing soccer for 10 years and basketball for eight with the Grimsby Grizzlies Travel Basketball Team.
She modelled on the side, making appearances as a hair model for the local Hernder Picasso's Foundation and in a Good Charlotte music video. Last February, she modelled for five designers during New York City's fashion week.
A month later, she became the still-reigning Miss Club Heidelberg — an ambassador for the German club during the Niagara Folk Arts Festival and for events through the year.
To enter the Miss World Canada pageant, Hemmer applied online last month and did a two-hour interview by phone. She was one of 40 women selected from across Canada for the pageant, March 11 to 15, in Toronto.
She hopes Niagara residents will support her by voting for the People's Choice Award on the Miss World Canada website. The winner is guaranteed a spot in the Top 15.
She is also seeking donations for help with transportation, hotel, and wardrobe, and entrance costs. Donors will get their names on the pageant website under Hemmer’s biography.
Hemmer said her family is supportive of her dream. She lives with her parents Liz and John and brother Brandon, 16, on weekends, staying on campus during the week.
If Hemmer does win the title, she'll be touring Canada promoting an anti-bullying platform and touting the importance of self-esteem, something she clearly doesn't lack.
"Having self-esteem is how you excel in school," she said, explaining it keeps students away from the pitfalls of drugs and other problems.
"It's only when you have low self-esteem that you succumb to peer pressure."

Having been involved with local and provincial pageants for numerous years I have searched in vain for a competition or pageant nationally or internationally that celebrates young women and the communities they come from. I have attended and researched many national/international competitions and found that there are none that are open to young ladies of any shape or size, physical handicap or otherwise and that truly challenge these ladies to prepare for a pageant that lets them express who they are, share about the communities they come from and how they would like to make a difference in this country and this world. The pageant I currently run in my province focuses on these things specifically. We look for a role model for our province and the little girls that look up to her. We do not look for a beauty queen, because what one looks like in a bathing suit and high heels does not make for a role model for young women of the future.

I would love to know how many of you reading this would like to have a competition like this to attend, or to send your title holders to?

I would love to hear from pageant directors across the country who might be interested in working together with me to make this happen. It would great if we could get a connection in each province and bring together young ladies from across the country for a truly authentic Canadian pageant.

Crown and sash taken
Miss Latina Canada 'shocked' by theft

By JONATHAN JENKINS, SUN MEDIA


Carolina Rabsiun is a queen without a crown ever since a thief stole the regal trappings of Miss Latina Canada.

"It's pretty sad these things had to get lost," Rabsiun, 21, said.

"It's a really big loss for me, I think. I was pretty sad when I found out and I was pretty shocked that someone would actually take that."

'SYMBOLIC VALUE'

Crowned last August, Rabsiun usually makes an appearance every week in the crown and sash of Miss Latina. Since the theft last Thursday, she's not sure what she'll do.

"The money value that crown has is nothing compared to the sentimental and symbolic value it has," she said.

"It's the symbol that allows me to represent the Hispanic community. That's really big to me and no amount of money can compare to that.

"Hopefully the person who took it will find it in their hearts to return it. It's important for me to have it. I would like to have my crown and my sash to continue to go to events and keep doing what I do."

The crown -- worth about $300 retail but now irreplaceable since the line has been discontinued -- and the sash were in a case in Elizabeth Singh's car left parked at the Warden subway station.

Singh, the executive producer with ES Team Productions, the company that runs the Miss Latina Canada pageant, said she returned to her car and found the door damaged and the stereo ripped out.

'IT'S A BIG DEAL'

The case in the car with the crown and sash was also gone.

"I think what happened is they might have opened the case and saw the glittery stuff and thought 'Oh my god, this is really valuable' and took it," Singh said.

"It's not so much the monetary value of the crown we're worried about. It's a big deal to the Latin community that this stuff is gone.

"It's a symbolic representation of the Latin culture in Canada."

Over the past few years there has been this controversy regarding blondes and brunettes in the pageant industry. It has been very common for a brunettes to win the crown… and brunettes always seem to be the favourites.
The only time you ever see a blonde win lately is Miss America, and Tara - Miss USA 2006. Do you think that this will continue?
What is you opinion with the Blondes and Brunettes in the pageant world?
I am curious to see everyone’s opinion towards this!

TORONTO, ONTARIO - The Winter Garden Theatre - April 18th - April 29th 2008.

Toronto, ON (Monday, January 28th 2008) - A Canadian tradition, the 57th annual Miss Universe® Canada Pageant will be held at The Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto, Ontario. The reigning Miss Universe® Canada, Toronto's own Inga Skaya will assist in crowning the new Miss Universe® Canada 2008 before a live audience.

Miss Universe® Canada is the Canadian representative sent to compete at the annual Miss Universe® pageant. Canada is one of only four countries (along with France, Germany, and the USA) which have competed in each Miss Universe® pageant since its inception in 1952.
With an established reputation for presenting world-class special events, The Winter Garden Theatre has been chosen to be the host venue for the 2008 Miss Universe® Canada pageant for the first time.

Over sixty delegates from across Canada will compete for the title of Miss Universe® Canada 2008 awarded on Monday, April 28th 2008. The contestants will arrive in Toronto beginning Friday April 18th to kick off Pageant activities and spend time getting to know each other, rehearsing for the show, and visiting Toronto and the surrounding area.

The pageant consists of two separate audience attended events:

Pageant Presentation Show (Saturday, April 26th, 2008) All 60+ delegates from across Canada compete before a live audience and a eleven-person judging panel in the traditional categories (Swimwear and Evening Gown) for the chance to be selected as one of the Judges' 15 semi-finalists. In addition, 5 segment winners (more details to come soon), will be joining the group of semi-finalists for a chance to win the title.

Pageant Finals Show (Monday, April 28th, 2008) The top 20 semi-finalists from Saturday's Pageant Presentation Show will compete for the title of Miss Universe® Canada 2008 in front of the same eleven-person judging panel as well as our live audience in the traditional categories (Swimwear and Evening Gown), plus the addition of a live interview/question and answer segment. However, all 60+ delegates will be involved in production numbers throughout the show.

Miss Universe® Canada delegates are selected each year by competing in local and regional casting calls and pageants held in select areas across the country. 'Beauties of Canada' has the exclusive rights to send a Canadian representative to the Miss Universe® Pageant. The titleholders of Miss Universe® Canada personify the combination of beauty and intelligence that defines women of the 21st Century. As a company producing the Miss Universe® Canada pageant, 'Beauties of Canada' has a corporate structure and goals defined by the Miss Universe® Organization.
