I have
never been to Ireland though it is just a plane ride away from
England. But it doesn’t mean, I cannot explore nor know more
about this third- largest island in Europe without the need to go
there. The Internet is just a fingertip away which enables me to read
more relevant articles and is also, the most powerful tool to hear
exciting news published by locals and tourists.
Ireland
is known in the world for widely practising Roman Catholicism as a
religion. That is why, on the 17th of March every year a
national holiday called Saint Patrick's Day is always commemorated.
Saint Patrick is a patron saint particularly associated with their
early history and Roman Catholicism which was brought there during or
prior to the 5th century. Apart from its religious celebrations,
Ireland is also famous for its Ross Castle, the ancestral home of the
O' Dooghue clan; The Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin as well as the
Cork Opera House originally built in 1855.
That is
just a speck of Ireland's history and what it can offer when you
visit!
A week
ago the “ Miss Queen of All Seasons 2012 ” show was held at the
Sugar Club in Dublin. Its quite a flashy display, organized by Miss
Saharajen Dale and her hard working friends who hope to make it an
annual gathering. This prestigious event was enlivened by 7 stunning
ladies who came from different parts of the United Kingdom to compete
for the coveted crown.
Months
before the beauty pageant took placed, many applications were sent in
by interested women who live in and outside the United Kingdom. They
were the beguiling babes willing to parade their fascinating talents
on stage; flaunt their confidence while standing beside one another
as well as showing-off their wit and intelligence in the Question and
Answer portion. Incidentally, weeks before the pageant was held there
were a few who changed their minds because of unexpected reasons. But
that didn’t stop the Queen of All Seasons from unfolding this year
after a 2 year breather.
The Queen
of All Seasons was first organized in 2009 and brought to the stage
by the gorgeous Miss Saharajen Dale herself. Aside from the said
beauty pageant which usually happens either in October or in
September, the hostess was also once an organizer behind “ Alternative Miss Philippines ” and “ Miss Pink Philippines ” in
Dublin, Ireland. These now two defunct extravaganzas were created
with the unending helped of her trustworthy and reliable friends who
stood by her as well as believing in her competence and vision.

The
opening number was a befitting booster to stimulate the attentive
audience. But for most admirers present that night, it was a great
satisfaction and liberation to watch the women performed on stage. In
particular, Miss Dee Chanelle wasn't just an endearing singer as she
also portrayed a sexy woman in her Cut Out Sleeveless Catsuit.
Alongside was Miss Sahara, the hostess herself, who appeared on
stage conspicuously with a blistering red leather jacket and a
salacious black PVC top fishnet hold-ups. Together with Miss Sophia
who was like ball of fire when she came out on the stage with her
sequins halter neck club wear top. And also, Miss Abigail Runway who
aroused the audience with her pair of black vinyl fetish thigh- high
boots.
The
opening number intoxicated the crowd and afterwards, it was time for
the introduction of the stunning candidates who were vying for the
coveted title, “ Miss Queen Of All Seasons 2012 ”.
Then came
the staging of the Miss Talent title, a chance to show the unique
talents performed by each contestant. This entertained the
indefatigable crowd as well as delighting their hopeful supporters.
Each talent demonstrated wasn’t just about showing off their
individual performance or the things they can do best. It was more
about inspiring the people without the need of exerting too much
effort. For that reason, it was difficult to foresee who will be the
winner of Miss Talent. But on the other hand, the talent portion was
evaluated according to grace, confidence and sophistication of the
candidate while showcasing on stage. And in the end, Miss United
Kingdom (Kim Morgan) who intensified most of the audience and
indulged the juror was declared Miss Talent.

It was
already dusky but the crowd was still at the height of their
excitement and joy. They were very buoyant while waiting for the
penultimate part of the pageant. That is why, to maintain their
energy levels Miss Hilary Mae Bubbles ( Miss Summer Princess 2009 )
intensified the audience with her voice. And after her electrifying
number, the contestants were back with their astoundingly delicate
long gowns.

They were all fabulous but there was only one that was phenomenal amongst them who received the Best in Long Gown title. That was Miss Philippines (Jexty Scotwo) who wore a figure- hugging crocheted black gown with a lustrous pattern sequin halter neck.

The
elating talent portion ended and the vivid chromatic display of
National Costumes commenced...
One by
one they appeared on stage wearing their own interpretation of what
National costume was. All of them were wearing artistic headdresses
which were sewed and created by their own hands. It was indeed the
aesthetic part of the pageant as all of the candidates devoted time
and effort in order to create their own masterpieces ( or should that
be Madamepieces? ). The one who captivated my eyes mostly was Miss
Costa Rica ( Venus Brum Mua ) who wore an elegant white ball dress
embellished with white feathers as well as flowers. Aside from her,
Miss Ireland ( Mel Abarquez ) also ensnared my attention when she
came out on stage as it was, more or less, like the green version of
Miss Costa Rica's creation. All in all, it was a very involving part
of the night and the sole winner for Best in National Costume was the
gorgeous Miss Costa Rica.
They went
back to their cosy dressing room and the audience was thrilled by
intermission numbers. Primarily by Miss Emerald Rice ( Miss
Alternative Philippines 2006 ) who gave an impersonation of the
famous blues singer Nina Simone. Along with her was the pliant Miss
Tina Bonde Farrell from Birmingham whose flexible body was surely
envied and applauded by the crowd because of her Belly Dancing
number.
The
contestants were ready to set-off on stage and fire- up with their
jaw dropping Swimsuits...
Majority
of the contestants were very proud to wear bikini or two piece
swimwear which exposed their flat tummies as well as balanced their
pear- shaped figure. Also, they wore high heeled shoes which drew
attention on how much an aphrodisiac they were and the costumes also
made their legs appear longer and leaner. In this category, Miss
Costa Rica ( Venus Brum Mua ) outshone the rest and brought home the
Best in Swimsuit title.
Each
contestant walked on stage with gracefulness to make sure that the
audience and the jury would translucently gaze at the designs of
their exquisite gowns. Their paces on stage was very smooth and you
could almost tell how proud they were especially when they paused and
turned their back to emphasize the glitters and sequins decorated in
their ostentatious long gowns.
They were all fabulous but there was only one that was phenomenal amongst them who received the Best in Long Gown title. That was Miss Philippines (Jexty Scotwo) who wore a figure- hugging crocheted black gown with a lustrous pattern sequin halter neck.
Aside
from their appearances on stage with sumptuously long gowns, the
Question and Answer portion was also brought-in to judge who has the
brain and not just the beauty only. After the hostess asked each
contestant a particular question, the respective members of the jury
unbiasedly scored their answers.
The tally
staff impartially calculated the over all scores of each contestants
and ranked accordingly. In just a few minutes of careful
computation, Miss Queen of All Seasons 2012 as well as the runner-ups
were proclaimed:
MISS
SUMMER PRINCESS 2012

Prior to
the declarations of the deserving winners, there were also minor
awards evaluated unanimously by the jury as well as their fellow
candidates. In which, Miss United Kingdom ( Kim Morgan ) bagged both
titles; LOOK OF THE YEAR and MISS AMITY/ FRIENDSHIP.
The people behind the Queen Of All Seasons is strongly aiming to hold
the beauty pageant every year. The title, Miss Queen Of All Seasons,
isn't just about the crown or the prestige it can give to a
contestant. It is a nourishment and by revealing more about their
inner self will strengthen them as a person. Essentially, the
stability within your personality; an affectionate relationship with
yourself and above all, the most beautiful and confident you.
