As a people have we sat down and think of what we write and say about people. Have we put ourselves in their shoes. You have to be in the kitchen to feel te heat. All beauticians, hairdresses, communication personnel, exotic life stly people,past Queen and Contestants,everybody examine your heart and soul – think of what you all are doing to people image – one day the table will turn on you all and there will be no one to help you turn it back for it is said vengence is mine said the Lord.
What is wrong with you all people – people cannot do good for you, all you alone can do things, dress, make-up, do hair, run things, talk etc. Its not good to make belief. Man Proposes, God disposes, remember we see your outside, but God knows your heart – clease yourselves and let us be positive in what we say and do. Jealousy can kill – what you wish for your brother/sister normally comes back and hunt you.
Lets work together for the good of our Country.
LASSA!!!!!!!!!
ok… now
Best of Luck to all the Ladies!!!! Many beauties & talents
Is there photos of the young ladies we can have a look for those of us away from Dominica,…Go miss Kings Hill…
wonder who is romalda them queen this year. if they tell me who Sharlene Richards going to Chaperone and we know the committee choice.
Interesting. What you saying there nor – you went to school inAugust man
Stop using DNO to preach your jealousy. It hurts you. Then join them nor
All you really jealous of that Committee man praise the poeple everytme all you write is something negative – we can never praise people for work well done its always looking like is all you alone who can do things. Jealousy can kill stop it.
shut up
Wendie Lucia Romain of Cottage 2013 queen
Dupigny: jelous of what nah puss…just dow go and have those people queen dress made up of cheap material from Dupigny…lol. whoss mind my panty..lol
Those pass contestants or Queens that think that are the best be careful your time has passed and a new set coming up to overshadow you all. Make way new crop coming – make way – its their time now. Everybody can dress now even mix and match.
wait, but nobody from Castle Bruce doesn’t go up for national queen show- ever!?
Interesting selection for Miss Dominica 2013. Good Luck Ladies.

one of the selected queens loving one of the judges. sa pas right at all. Conflict of interest
oh creator!! lols Somebody salivating to give us all the inside scoop . lols
woy the roro begins
and well early too! Put me in the light!
Which one and which Judge? Mr. Peters? Talk to me! lol
“Is that self” Have you been reading your Bible, our do you know the Ten Commandments. I think if you did – you would not be so negative or even try to tarnish people’s name. The show has not even started but all you already have things to say. What is wrong with you all. Get a job! Get work to do and stop going on DNO to mind people business. Think psotive for once. Give suggestions, advise etc to the young ladies. Big woman like you thats all you day in day out writing comments using different name. Stlye of writing tell who you are????????
OMG show doh even start and you all spreading rumours on the contestants already…stupes
I must commend the Queen Show Committee and the DFC for this news. It shows that the Committee is doing a great job to have all these ladies registering for the Queen Show – to me its the first time I have heard of so many ladies registering- the Queen Show Committee is doing well. Keep up the good work guys. Who jar bless no man curse.
To all the delegates; start doing your regional show homework; both past and to come. It may sound as too much work; youtube the shows; pay attention to the Miss St. Kitts show in December; since St. Kitts is our rival regionally.
Micheal i don’t think these girls should be studying any shows they should be horning then own talent and stage personality not like Ms. Christie of this year..Because it has shown when these young ladies study and copy past shows it doesn’t bring out there true talent of being.
Great group this year; the committee must be commended for their efforts. We got the girls with intelligent; talent and beauty 5/6 months before the show. All we need is the sponsors to come forward and the production of the show. Personally, I think Jeanne Roger and Leslassa Adey Amour- Shillingford, are capable of winning regional titles. Therefore since they are friends; I would have chosen the eldest for the 2013 show; then the other in 2014. My support would certainly be for Leslassa; though I do not know her; I know that she would ace any interview; she got a good background; her aunt Carla was 2 Runner up in 1984; a year in which saw the show and girls competing.
Make us proud Fatima!!!!!!!
CHAYIL

Congratulations to Miss Wendie Romain. I am proud of you. I know you can do it. WIll be coming to DA for carnival. Good luck and all of us from Cottage will be coming to supprot you.
well look it..but whole up..Sharlene Richards – Miss Dominica 2005 was one of the worst queens in the history of miss dominica hence she was handed the crown because of her family ties..i do see what she would be part of the judging..i would have put leandra in that position instead of her..
my point exactly.2005?she didnt even do well.
Stop this all u just like to criticise, remember we in 2012 u really going back poor you. Leave the girl alone
lmao allu tongue too bad ehh on DNO hahahahaha keep it coming lol lol I enjoy reading this
Its people like you who prevent young ladies from entering this pageant. Why under a story about the 2013 contestants, you want to insult the 2005 queen?
Truth is every year there would always be people who don’t like the judges choice and think their girl should have won instead. I’m guessing you are a leandra supporter but she wasn’t even in the 2005 show where Miss Richards won, so I ask Why does supporting leandra have to lead to you insulting the 2005 queen? Its obvious you have a personal problem with the 2005 queen and if you do you should not be so nasty and bitter about it.
Grow up..Some people too fast and always quick to put negative stories behind people name.
To the 2013 contestants do not make fear of rats like pussina (what kind of ghetto name is that anyway?) deter you from participating in the queen show!
Yes I am really wondering if that was leandra…Because I don’t even get where she coming into this conversation?? Anyway leandra, your mother or your grandmother…This is a hot mess of a comment.
Anyway this is why people shouldn’t be idle, and ugly..Go read a book instead of personally attacking people on DNO!
YEA for Jeanne Royer. Beauty and Brains…. what a great combination!!!!!
Fatima Noel of San Sauver?
that’s nice but where are the pics.
We can have the final show with all 12!
I like your enthusiasm. However, DFC can barely get sponsors each year for 7 girls! I wonder what they would have to do to get sponsors for twelve!
My Seven!
Leslassa Adey Armour-Shillingford
Fatima Noel
Tasia Floissac

Jeanne Royer

Kelshia Breezie
Happy to see young ladies wanting to participate in the Miss Dominica Pageant
Finally,
An event planned way ahead of the actual date. Kudos to the The Dominica Festivals Committee for a job well done.
The event is not planned way ahead of time. The girls are normally picked around this time of year.
Resident. You lie. The girls ARE NOT usually picked by this time. Anything to be contrary.
It is at this time every year that the interviews take place. It is not early at all, but right on schedule.
Carnival is very early this year. I have to buy my airline tickets soon.
Its the Queen Show Committee I know they have already started working mark you I kniw dat for sure
Lets go senjo cityyyyy
only know one of the contestants that is Jeanne xD which is one of the most beautiful young ladies i know. Good Luck
