Miss Guyana Earth recruitment like pulling teeth

Winner to get UG scholarship

With a launch date set for May 12, the co-ordinators of the Miss Guyana Earth pageant are still continuing their search for the nation’s beauty ambassador to the international pageant.
Ideally, they are aiming for 15 delegates to compete locally but this publication understands that thus far, apparently the nation’s beauties for the most part have not shown their faces for interviews.
The committee has informed that the main prizes for whoever wins Miss Guyana Earth include a four-year University of Guyana Scholarship, a Laptop computer, US$500 cash, assorted jewellery and pageant wardrobe, among other things.
While they have selected six prospects thus far, a committee member told this publication that “finding beauties who are willing to come forward to compete is like pulling teeth.”
The Simpli Royal committee’s search continues as they seek to bring some real Guyanese beauties who can think on their feet out of the wood work to become a national beauty ambassador on the international scene.
Several competitions are carded before the big local night on June 26 as a prelude and the organisers are looking for a line up of at least ten of the most exciting, personable, beautiful Guyanese women aged 18- 25. Dillon said, “The ladies we are looking for have to have beauty of face and figure and possess perfect health. They must also not have had a child, never have been married and should have written CXC. They can be of any race and from any cultural background.”
Pamela Dillon, the franchise holder is emphatic that “this is not a free for all. Any girl and anything goes to pageant, it’s a serious event that allows beauty ambassadors to be groomed and then sent to represent our nation.”
Among the many competitions to be staged before a queen is selected is a high fashion show featuring the delegates competing for the ‘Queen of the catwalk’ title.
The committee includes Wazim Khan as chairman; Wanita Huburn, Public Relations Officer; Gileon James, head of wardrobe; Melessa Payne is Delegate Liaison; and Lester Rauseo as trainer. Interested prospective delegates are asked to contact Dillon on 665-4565.
