Miss Teen girls are poised for beauty event
Miss Teen contestants get set for the big day
Friday, August 6, 2004
The five contestants vying for the coveted title of Miss Teen Cayman Islands
are currently undergoing a rigorous training schedule which includes stage
training, grooming, etiquette, and public speaking classes.
Shakira Diaz, 15, and Deborah Robb, 16, both of Bodden Town, Evana Martinez,
17, and Iliana Del la Cruz, 16, from George Town, and Kristy Hurlston, 15, of
West Bay, will all compete in the pageant which takes place at the Lions Centre
on Saturday, 28 August.
Each will be hoping to win the title and the two-year scholarship.
Sponsored by Leo Club of Grand Cayman and Cable & Wireless, the 26th Annual
Miss Teen Cayman Islands Pageant is keeping the competitors busy as they prepare
for the various stages.
As well as rehearsals, photo shoots, make-up classes and public appearances,
the young ladies are honing their personal talents for the show, and increasing
their knowledge of the countries they will each represent during the pageant.
“The Miss Teen contestants are put through quite a labour-intensive training
programme in preparation for the pageant,” explained Rosa McLean, President of
the Leo Club of Grand Cayman.
“We try to give them as much exposure and experience as possible, and provide
them with opportunities to develop their skills and talents, with the hope that
they will go on to become future Miss Cayman Islands delegates, but more
importantly, successful, contributing citizens to their respective communities
and their country.”
Andrea Fa’amoe, C&W Corporate Communications Manager said: “Cable & Wireless
is proud to be associated with the Miss Teen Cayman Islands Pageant, a programme
which seeks to nurture both the internal and external beauty that is inherent
within Cayman’s teenage girls.
“I would like to commend Deborah, Evana, Iliana, Shakira and Kristy for
allowing themselves to be tested by this invaluable experience, and wish them
the best of luck in the upcoming pageant.”
Cable & Wireless is sponsoring the event for the second time, and will be
giving away phones throughout the pageant.
