For instance Khephra, Helina and A'yana?
Judges decision is final though..
If you're responsible for the Prince and Princess show or any other part of festival for that matter you should not be involved in chaperoning one of the contestants.
Imagine if Alvera did that you won't have heard the end of it
You should take your own advice i.e. before getting at others check your grammar or as you put it...make sure you grasp what you are talking about.
Good job Mom you raised beautiful children, Kevin and Kefi.
