She is trying to make it a hat trick – Miss Dominica and Miss Caribbean World – Nadira Lando – is hoping she can add the title of Miss Carival Pageant to her conquests when she competes for that title in St Vincent on Friday.
Lando and her team left Dominica on Monday for the show which is expected to take place at Carnival City in Kingstown’s Victoria Park.
“I am full of confidence, a little bit nervous but full confident,” Lando said in an interview with DNO while in transit in Barbados.
She said that capturing the Miss Caribbean World crown in Tortola recently has added some pressure on her, but she knows she can do even better.
“I know all eyes are on me and the Miss Caribbean World crown is putting some pressure on me but it has also boosted my confidence – I am sure I can do better.”
Lando will be going up against nine other contestants in several categories including swim wear, talent, spectacular wear and the interview segment which carries the most points.
The other contestants are from Anguilla, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The show begins at 8:00 pm.
The current holder of the Miss Carival crown is Iantavian Queeley of St. Kitts.
Organizers of the pageant say some of its objectives include fostering greater linkages and bonds between the Caribbean islands, encouraging contestants, chaperones and patrons to go to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to showcase the beauty and diversity of Caribbean young women.
Go Charlene (Barbados) I know you can do it, bring home the crown…
DNO will you be streaming the show live? I would really like to see it.
Lets go Roxy !!!! (Ms St lucia) and Ms Lando (Ms Dominica)…
HOW OLD IS MISS ANGUILLA NA ? LOL ..BUT ANYWAYS WE MUST WIN THAT ! GO NADI..
Good Luck Nadira. We expect the crown to return to Dominica.
Good luck to all the contestants especially Miss Dominica.
I find Nadira has some resemblance to Jennifer Lopez eh. My girl we rooting for u and bring that crown back to DA. All the best
Let’s go nadira..ur the most beautiful among the rest….and u gonna b crowned again
We would all like her to return to Dominica with the title. I however think that Misses Trinidad ; St. Lucia and homegirl got an edge. They all got natural talent and very intelligent. Something lacking in Miss Dominica; things that cannot be taught to her or even her Chaparone ( a past winner) can give to her. However if she could have a good talent and interview round; the two order rounds is hers. DNO the shows start at 8pm not 6pm (source carnivalsvg.com). There is paid live streaming of the show. To the person who asked what is Miss. Carival . Unlike the Miss OECS which Dominica once hosted ; is being held for the past 26 years. Not called Miss. CARICOM; but targets representative from CARICOM since the CARICOM heads of Government Summit was/is being held around this time and Vincy Mas coincide with the first Monday in July being observe as CARICOM day.
Puss but what maypew you coming on there and give nah.. mine me. ok.. Massh
I think that she has a good chance.
DNO is the show 6pm toda July 2? If so in light of the airport situation, did miss Landor arrive SVG? An update and a follow up should be done seeing you have contact to the young lady. (Proactive)
What airport situation?
Editor, pls. enlighten me. What is Carival? Is it differen from Carnival? I’ve never heard of it before. Thanks.
