A group of young people with the name “YoungStars,” have come together to add value to this year’s Carnival offering.
The group will stage a “Mr. Dominica” competition geared towards young men between the ages of 18 and 30 on Friday, February 10th, 2012 and is calling on all young men who feel they have what it takes to participate in a Mr. Dominica competition to come forward.
The event is the brainchild of Marketing & Communications Specialist, Marie-Antoinette Mora, who brought the group of young people together to mentor them.
“When we looked around, all we saw were shows engaging the female gender. There was nothing aimed at the male populace, so this is a “first of a kind” that we know will become an annual event. The audience can expect quality, creativity, excitement and entertainment never before seen in Dominica. We are extremely pleased that the “Mr. Dominica” competition has been endorsed by the Dominica Festival Committee and that it’s on the 2012 Carnival calendar,” said Ms. Mora.
Kimberly Benjamin, a member of the group said, “Dr. Alwin Bully, Chairman of the Dominica Festivals Committee, made a call some time ago for young people to become involved in Carnival activities and we have answered that call. We are very excited about this event and hope that everyone is as excited as we are.”
Annasha Laronde, another member of the group stated that, “The ‘Mr. Dominica’ Show will be a chic display of natural, masculine charm and we are inviting all young men between the ages of 18 and 30 who are role models to register.”
The registration deadline is December 24, 2011 and forms can be obtained from members via email at [email protected]. Further information can also be obtained from Kimberly or Annasha at 276-8453 or 614-1333, respectively.
“Mr. Dominica” contestants will compete in Talent, Best in Magnificent Wear, a Water Works segment, which will showcase beach wear, Formal Wear and Question & Answer segments.
Ms. Mora is urging all businesses to support these enterprising, young persons as they seek sponsorship for this event. “They are eager and energetic and, moreover, they are determined to make a difference; to make a positive contribution to Dominica,” she stated.
lets “move forward” by having men act like women on a stage. being self indulged and allow them to make fools of themselves…all in the name of making carnival more exciting.. you know what would move dominica forward and make it more exciting during carnival? bringing back souce and punch on carnival sunday and peebles park on the saturday before that.. instead of recruiting a bunch of lame douche bags to prance about on a stage. lemme guess… u women are waiting for the swimware section of the show…ironically some of u would still condemn a strip club. smfh..
there should be a Mr.Teen as well
There will be. Thank you for your support!
thats why dominica cannot move forward our own people brining them down, wa happen boys cannpt take part in those shows, its just to make the carnival more excited
One word – Utter rubbish
am its two word learn how to count n let dominica move forward
Now you counting backwards
this is really interesting, I am all for it, It is good to knwo we have such young men in Dominica that can vive for that too and not only young women… Go Guys,,, If i am in DA I will support you all…
I want to see them in slider!!!! Tight tight sliders…. a thong even.
I am soo opened to this new initiative!!! It is NOT a body building competition and it is NOT a gay parade!!! It would be interesting to see regular guys display thier CHARM!!!
I agree… so why is it okay for a woman to go up and get scholarship!!!! And young men dont get a chance? Give them a chance tooo!!!!! Dominicans always have to think that people are gay just because they want to participate in such.
People! the men aren’t gay! its just a funny show to entertain and make people laugh everything in dominica have to be about sexuality and politics!!!! oh god man! stupes!!!!
OK WTF is going on here??
I read about this on another site and I came to the conclusion that this was a bodybuilding competition. Due in no small part to the pic of bodybuilder included in the article.
But now I’m reading this and I just realize that this is actually a MALE version of the Miss Dominica show. UN BELEIVABLE!!
MOTS, you have a point there. I SMELL A RAT..there’s something/someone gay behind that.
We suspect that girl and her pals may be used as a front because carnival is always a MAN/WOMAN TOGETHER thing.
Why are people assuming that the show’s purpose is to promote the ”gay lifestyle”. I find Dominicans can really be petty and stupid. The show has not yet been held but there are people who are already labeling it as ”gay”. I really wonder why people who claim to be heterosexual are so obsessed about gays.
One more step to promote the gay life style. Dominicans beware, our young people are becoming more and more materialistic and shows like these are good avenues for sick older men to snare younger men into their gay trap.
Eh Beh Weh Look Exposure for those who are willing to enforce GAY rights in Dominica…….You Guys will be closely Monitored but I am giving my thumbs up on that as a good Gesture, at least in compliments the calypso shows which features both male and female. Let us take pride in Our young people as they Display there Talents.
what the hell does that have to do with gayness or gay rights? allu dominicans always so negative. stupes
because is women time men fighting to take their rightful place in society.it looks like women are the trend setters. you guys suck!!!!!
they are trying all ways to sneak in that gay bzness on us… the organisers may not even know they are being used… cause behind everything has a bigger man
I read DNO and hardly ever comment. But you know what Mouth of the south and you out there who feel threatened by men of talent, class and confidence. You all sound like insecure, homophobes, undercover, straight pretenders! Keep showing your true colors!!!!!’ WE RULE”……..
I take it that this one is only for the masculine men, right?? No effeminates please.
come on now; what would this show be without a little effemination.
WHAT!!!
HEY! I HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT AS EVERYBODY ELSE TO BE THERE… STANDING NEXT TO YOU OF COURSE
HEH HEH HEH
