My fellow Trinis,
Thank you for all the words of support that came in on this board and those who sent texts and called to still congratulate the team on a job that was well done. We will have to re-group and take a very critical look at the competition this year, with a view towards improving our performance next year.
I urge you all not to be critical of Anya, she was lovely and she worked hard and represented us well. Already I am seeing people starting to turn, and that really dissappoints me. I understand that everyone is dissappointed and feels the need to be "REAL" in their review but we must understand that last year the top 10 was very diverse in looks, sizes, height everything. This year their seemed to be a uniformity of the look etc. especially when it came to the ten and particularly the top 5.
Anya was a magnificant representative and was a favourite in Vietnam and with the international media because of her exotic looks and intellect. So I ask you as a favour to me not to bash her in your evaluation. Lets rather look carefully at how this year's pageant played out and ask ourselves, what do we need to do to ensure placement next year. What did the Miss Universe org. want this year, why was the top 10 composition so radically different from last years. This year seemed to be "text book or shall we say classic Miss Universe" but last year was diverse two Africans, (one who was bald), two Asians, a short curvey girl ( Mexico last year was a curveous as Jessica Rabbit), Miss India was in the 10 as well. A very diverse top 10 last year and this year not so much. Look at the final scoring and see if you see a pattern especially from the transition from 15 to 10.
Basically it boils down to the judges and their preferences, even stage performances seemed a little bit standard, lots of twirling, lots of hair flicks. Last year the women had their own style.
My people, this bump will motivate us to work harder and to do better. We want you all to have a celebration and we will continue to do give our very best to ensure that our flag will fly high throughout the night of these pageants. We focus now on Miss World and regroup to have a stong Miss Universe 2009. Thank you Anya for a wonderful representation and to all our supporters for your unconditional encouragement.
