...Gabby was a good representative - in fact, one of the best-Period! Pgwhizz, if she had made the top 16 would you have been saying these things?
Let me be totally honest, Gabby lived a couple of years in the US doing her acting degree and she was TAUGHT how to speak and conduct herself on a stage. If you want to pong Gabby, then first pong me. I am of east indian descent, and did my Masters on scholarship at an I.V. institution where I learnt how to speak phonetically correct for my job. I am living in T'dad now and you could not hear from the way I speak anything to indicate I was 'up north.' However, if I have to do a presentation or talk to a group of people at work, this 'accent' that you don't like comes out with the standard english. So I don't get what the heck the issue about the accent is. Does an accent make anyone a Trini? Well then we should boycott Nicki Manaj's music and go off on Penny when she pops in a little accent. Gosh people, Gabby was doing her JOB as MUTT2011. SHE LOVES T&T! If MU wanted natural, authentic ladies that represent "every woman" in their respective countries, then they should have dumped that bag of bones with the botox shots, breast implants, bleached teeth and colored hair called MUSA 2011.
The main take away that I have from this year's pageant, is that NO WAY is MU going to crown a lady shorter than 5'8" again. Everyone in the top 16 looked tall (with the exception of USA and Philippines). Eveyrone was the same cookie-cutter shape just like last year. At least I saw a different skin tone this year.
Yo-Yo realized they would not sway from their mould for the organizational picks, while I was still holding out hope. I now know better. Ideally, our MT&T reps. should be 5'8" and above in height.
I always said Gabby did not fit the MUorg body type but what this year showed us is that regardless of how beautiful a relatively short delegate is, she will not place. MU is about fitting their clearly defined mould. MW is still more open to different types of beauty.
Valene 5'8", Shinequa 5'10" and Miss Arima from the 2010 local pageant are the only past reps. that fit this mould and still meet the age requirement. MUorg. likes young reps. but Valene is too strong to miss the top 9 merit list provided she has the right gown. Shinequa would be a top 3 fav. and placer in SS and gown. Miss Arima (from MUTT2010) would have to work her as# off to place but she is definitely a competitor.
