Competing in the Miss Princess of the World was a great experience

- Miss Guyana

I felt very privileged to have represented Guyana this year, it was great experience said Christine Camacho Guyana’s representative to the just concluded Miss Princess of the World Pageant in the Czech Republic. Reflecting she said that she was given a lot of attention the minute she arrived and was introduced. According to her she was even rated most beautiful overall at the end of the contest given “my mixture of Indian, Amerindian & Portuguese appearance which made me look much different from the European girls”
As a result she credits this to being the reason she probably got the most request for photos by guests and national directors.

In her opinion she did excellent in the PC discipline where she challenged the other girls in networking with the advantage of a good English background but in the end Miss Lithuania won the Princess title while Italy was second and Venezuela placed third. For the pageant she took a taste of the Guyanese Amerindian Culture in her costume which depicted Amerindian Heritage-our indigenous people. Her talent piece was an Indian classical dance which was also different from all the other dances presented. While in the Czech Republic included tours to the castles with golden walls where Kings & Queens used to live, palaces, chapels, city cruise, museums, caves, etc. as well as to places where ordinary visitors couldn’t access, shopping areas etc.

She recalls the challenge of having to adapt the cold weather, but managed to stay healthy and energetic unlike many others who had to visit hospitals.

Among all these pluses on her side when asked what caused her to not win or place even in the top nine she said “I did my best, sold Guyana as much as possible since those people didn’t know of Guyana, however had Guyanese supported more and voted online I would have had a better chance of reaching to the top 9.”

Christine Camacho also noted that had Guyanese supported her online “It would have surely built my popularity”. Nevertheless, she is happy that she has received proposals to enter another international pageant by other national directors including a proposal from the director of Lithuania.

Her trip was made possible by Ken Chung, Carwyn Holland, Ginesta David, Dimple Mendonca, Princess Hotel, Glamour, Sonia Noel, April’s Line, Industrial Safety Supplies, PCS Wireless, Ms. Ginnie Beauty. What’s next following this first outing?

“I’m presently modeling part time for fashion shows including Guyana Fashion Weekend 2010 and has also been booked for appearances on television Commercials along a full time job as a consultant while pursuing studies at the University of Guyana for a Bsc Business Management.

Over all she said “I didn’t win any title but I did get the overall rating”.
