    these young ladies would do themselves a huge favor by trying to enter university and get a degree; and leave pageantry for physically gifted people.

    All the girls are beautiful and have great potential. The available press release pictures DO NOT do them justice. Don’t wish to say: another year; same old story. So I’m remaining optimistic. It takes guts to participate in such an event, especially when faced with the various limitations and challenges of finding sponsorship and bringing the final picture together. I encourage the girls to continue to do their very best and put their best foot forward at all times. With the right work and input, I think this can be a phenominal show. -Can’t say Dominica does not have beauty on all fronts, but especially Proud to support Goodwill; LOVE this girl: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jawanza-Stuart-Photography-Videography/201833749842385#!/media/set/?set=a.301146969911062.94941.201833749842385&type=3

    GO GIRLS. Represent your country. Thanks for being brave enough to participate in this year’s carnival. Turn your back from the criticism and give us a show to remember. Little minds will always talk negative but dont give up.Girls will envy you and find faults because they cannot be contestant. Be proud, lift your heads and walk on cloud 9. BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Dominica has the sweetest girls.

    The girls look a hot mess! What about dressing these women in an outfit that one colour No patterns! Something classy and tasteful maybe even a little representative of our culture just a bit. The young lady in white looks okay. But all the others are a mess. Too short, too many colours, little girl dress and pink panther just a mess! The hairstyles are not even good either….smh

      You are clearly biased. That white dress is awful yet you want to bash the other girls’ dresses and give that one props. Come again.

      Famous K you seem to have a problem with English but I guess its my fault for not writing in simple sentences for you. roll eyes…. The girls look a hot mess and no Im not biased. Well maybe a little because I think white dresses even though extravagant can look so simple. The girl next to her dress like pink panther or pep to bismol -grown women don’t dress all in pink, the one next to her looking she got my granny curtains, The one in the animal print makes no sense because its so not local, doh even ask for the one in that little girl dress not very mature and then the blue alight passable but way to short. For all those that saying I biased I’m routing for blue dress. And no famous K I don’t look a hot mess and thats a fact. The next time you want to join an intelligent conversation (as I see from your past posts you have no idea what that is) please ask. Step aside.

      all those that are asking for better girls cant be in the competition because all u cannot represent so please shut up. they still selling blue soap, so go wash your tongue if yu have nothing to say. All of you cannot compete so stop crticisings.

      Think before you write, such events require a lot of exposure and promotion this is the first phase.
