    Beautiful but….

    I ask myself, should children at that tender age be encouraged to emulate the hand-on-hip posture of catwalk models?

    Nope she didnt deserve that crown at all and the judges must stop that nonsense. Is it because she’s from Silver Lake? How can the most consistent contest not win. This little girl was the best in every round. The others were good but went down in other rounds. What nonsense it that. Plea worse! Roseau Primary was the Best in Costume round and had the Best costume and allu still didnt give this child that award because allu Know that she would had captured that crown. Bias set of judges. STOP VICTIMIZE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY COME FROM. ZAHEER TOUSSAINT IS THE WINNER.

        @ Edina You posted what you wanted and you can’t tell me what I should post. It’s a disgrace to see how Roosevelt Skerrit demolished our school and have our children in a fowl cage. As a villager of Thibaud it is within my right to let Skerrit know how I feel and nobody will stop me
