VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI - (Post time 11:16pm) Contestant number two Miss Donalin Michel strutted her stuff to pull the highest score throughout the night to win the title of Miss Gorgeous for the Virgin Gorda Easter Festival of 2014.

The prizes for Miss Poise, Best Lingerie, Congeniality, best evening wear and best introduction went to the queen, while the prize for Best Talent went to contestant #1 Miss Sharlene David.

The night started out and went on to the end as nothing but an evening of class and fashion. Present were several Virgin Islands queens, coordinators of queen pageants and residents from across the Territory.

Everyone obviously had their pick of who they wanted to the queen for the night. The contestants for the Miss Gorgeous were Contestant #1: Sharlene David, of Harrigan Estate, Tortola, contestant #2: Donalin Michel of Road Town, Tortola and Contestant #3: Sasha McKie Resident of The Valley, Virgin Gorda.

The contestants all entered the Catholic Community Centre to high energy and were escorted by three sharp looking men teasing the audience as the young women made their entrance. They went through the first segment, the introduction segment, very smoothly. Some of the contestants did their introduction in traditional style while contestant number 2 used some props to send hers through. The other segments followed in order.

The pageant consisted of five segments: the Introduction Segment which carried a maximum total of 40 points, the Lingerie Segment which required contestants to showcase a trendsetting lingerie outfits that spoke volumes as well as class for a score of 45 points.

The Talent Segment accounted for the highest score of 65 points. The Evening Wear permitted gowns of shear, half splits, cleavage and low backs for some 50 points.

In the Question & Answer Segment contestants were given prior questions to the pageant that relate to their biography, theme of the pageant and the confidence of being a strong woman. This segment including the Introduction segment which justified the winning category of Miss Intellect carried total 40 points.

The night was not without the expected entertainment, fun and laughter. Among those providing entertainment was Mr Kirk Adams.

The committee which can be credited for putting on a show that was nothing but gorgeous included Shevone Findlay- Pageant Director, Daniella Flax- Assistant Pageant Director, Lettica Leonard - Secretary, and Sapphie Flax - Public Relations.

The four contestants for the Miss Easter Festival Pageant were also introduced to the excited crowd. They will be chasing the prestigious crowd on April 12, 2014 at the Catholic Community Centre. This seems to be one that is going to draw stiff competiton and crowd rivalry. The crowd had no reservations in showing this as they screamed in excitment for their favourite contestant.

    Why would the festival and fairs committee collaborate an event with a private company the same night they have a show. Great choice in picking a chairperson Myron......self-centered and greedy. Same shirt happening at TB. Total flop.................

      you people so jealous. It was a great collaboration. Do you have a better idea? The committee in tortola collaborate all the time. it helps the committees and they don't have to foot the entire bill. If you knew what festival is and was all about it is the business community that helps festival. Would you have wanted a private business to have the after party by them selves and the committee not make a cent after the show.

    Congrats: to the winner for the show, I,m sure you did well. I was not present but thanks to VINO for the quick Info and the VG Festival Committee for the hard work with limited time. VG girls lets get together and participate and make VG festival great, one girl from VG is not good enough, we can do better than that. It is one BVI and not only Tola participation. We have talent, but we probably need the exposure. Get involve and lets have a fantastic festival.
    Thanks: Mr. Walwyn,(Gov) Sponsors. Festival Committee. ONLY we the community seems to be missing out. LET US PARTICIPATE AND MAKE VG FESTIVAL GREAT ------. ! Thanks VINO for keeping it real!

    First of all, where was the decor, should we consider it to be the airbrushed banner? BTW, where was the production dance/routine or was I asleep when this occurred. Lastly, kindly ensure that when you consider providing programs, you think about utilizing cardstock paper, after all there were countless sponsors for this event. Food for thought! Nevertheless, congrats to Contestant #2 Donalin Michel, job well done!

    My issue was the judges. .I hope they have sensible judges for the ms. Easter pageant...3 of 5 of the judges were poorly selected...not sure how they were chosen..but..whoa!

      Your comment means nothing coming from someone who can barely count. Good thing they didnt choose you as the tabulator.

      In case you are to slow to catch on to what i just said....please note there were actually 6 judges.

      Ps. The show results were perfectly fair....yet you have a problem with the judge selection. Yall need to stop bringing your personal grudges on Vino.

        It could have been 5 7 or 9, poorly selected! Indeed the pageant was fairly judged..but in pageantry, judges should be selected based on numerous things..poppyshow judges and that's final!..it's all about blogging. .personal issues you say?...

    If you would provide the funding to print programs we would appreciate it. These things cost money. More elaborate backdrops and stage decor also cost. Are you willing to be the sponsor for this. I am sure you know how to contact the committee. It is also not necessary to always have a production number or dance number. Same old boring thing every show these production numbers. Anyways we look forward to you sponsoring these things for the next show and for next year.

      In the words of Andre Leon Talley.....dretitude!!!! That's what the show was! No stage, no opening number, no trophies! Last year was not great, but geez; you're not even in the same division let alone the same race with last year's show. I want a refund! It was DRETITUDE!!!!!!
