Candia Hinds captures Miss Plus Size and Elegant crown

Hinds being interviewed by the press after she won the crown

Candia Hinds has emerged as the winner in the 2013 Miss Plus Size and Elegant pageant.

She outperformed four other competitors at the show which took place at the Old Mill Cultural Center on Friday night.

The five competed in introductory speech, professional wear, performing arts, swimwear, creative wear, lingerie wear and evening wear segments.

Hinds got awards for Best Lingerie and Best in Professional Wear among others.

The show was described as ‘good’ by Corporate Communications Manager at LIME, Ferdina Frampton.

LIME was the main sponsor of the pageant.

However, she said some work needs to be done in terms of the organization of the show.  “At the end of the day patrons are paying money to come to a show and when they come to the  show they want quality from every level. Some work needs to be done there.” She stated.

In other Carnival related news, Carnival Mothers’ Pageant is slated for the Arawak House of Culture tonight (Saturday).

Six contestants will take to the stage to compete in swimsuit, talent, traditional wear (portraying carnival costumes of long ago) and evening wear.

The contestants are Cheronno Morancie, Caryl Baron, Josephine Dublin, Kyishrma Victor, Sandra Adam and Vernice Joseph.
