Lord I hope we can win some regionals this year. I am very concerned as I seeing a lot of weight issues, height issues, styling and make up Issues. these girls have to step it up by pre show. you know us dominicans only know how to win and I dont see a winner eh
ladies do yall best and remember is only one of you can win the crown so give it your best shot and good luck to yall wish i could be there
Pay a real photographer next time PLEASE PLEASE. My complexion is way off …even my mother barely recognize me.
Who did these girls’s make-up!!?. And the jewellery?. It’s looking gaudy. To the make-up artiste/stylist, please do a crash course before you present these girls on the day of the competition. We are not seeing their beauty being accentuated. Instead they are looking as if there going to perform at a circus.!
Apparently Dominica have too much professional make up artists when all of allu is the dam same with allu stretch eyebrows and bright color lip sticks stupess… plenty of allu cannot wash half a clothes basket of clothes but sit down talking about face powder….
All the girls are beautiful queens. I wish them all the best.
Dear Sponsors,
You see how early the girls come out, don’t wait for the passport sellers to sponsor. Local businesses can do their part and sponsor as early as possible.
Good luck to all of you. During that process have fun.
whay are these faces so fake man???
hey good luck though to all contestants
not hating jus opinioning
Is it just me or Gabrielle Abraham resembles Gabrielle Union.
Na… It’s Definitely You.
It’s just you!
This is not Miss Dominica show, its Miss Roseau. Are the promoters so lazy that they cannot find girls around the country. Sad day for Dominica!
Word it differently. Are the girls from around the country not interested? Or probably they applied but were not chosen, i.e., not qualified. Give it a thought.
I guess that’s why there is so little interest in this news item!
did you for one second ask yourself if girls from other parts of the country registered?
But I cannot understand some people. Queen show is not a popularity contest everybody knows that. But your first presentation of one self to the public has to make a very big impact. So if the public saw only one girl displayed all the qualities that one are looking for in a Queen so be it.
Being Tall, Short, Fat, Slim, crooked, slanting, up-sided down, are not in the criteria when selecting the young ladies for the competition.
The General public who supports the young lady are not the judges.
Some Dominicans too not easy. All you start already to say who people want for queen. Every year is the same talk. Get to the programme and change that stupid talk. The best person wins the show at the end of the night.
I see only 2 girls with regional potential and one of them is too short for my liking!! It seems the island has already determined whom will be queen; based on the launching and I think its unfair and discouraging to the other girls in the show. Miss Dominica Is not a popularity contest and I encourage all the young ladies to remain focus and not be distracted by the hype of one contestant.
@ Pageant Guru: I remember the same thing was said about Tasia, oh she not pretty, blah blah blah…and look she win the Jaycees crown on all you….
When Leslassa Shillingford was the one people liked they had no problem.Leave people children alone.If the public recognises good representation in a person they will support the girl. Obviously your girl is not as popular so you bitter..Take a few sits and let people children live their lives. Allu start. BON
Unfortunately, your “liking” does not choose the winner imbecile :p
Stay in school, ladies!!! Get de paper (Degree) not de crown.
Well it’s a chance to get the degree…the prize is a Scholarship. May the best girl win.
But if you win the crown you get a scholarship… so I guess you are encouraging them to continue their tertiary education?? Why, I thank you (queen voice)/
that person is a jackass man
Good luck to all the girls..
