THE QUEEN OF IKATLONG LAHI 2019 IS...

Queen of Ikatlong Lahi 2019 
Miss Iwa Moto- Hardy
London, United Kingdom

She travelled more than 700 miles from London, England to Barcelona, Spain by plane in the attempt to bringing home the crown of Queen of Ikatlong Lahi 2019. But prior to her quest for the crown and as a preparation, she went through hairstyle and makeup tutorials under the capable hands of Miss Chin Ungos Swift. Then, during her flight to Spain for the coronation night she was accompanied by Miss Cassandra Mae Madrigal. Who has greatly been her mentor, designer and assistant throughout the process as well as during her past pageant involvements. 

The Queen of Ikatlong Lahi 2019 is an annual beauty pageant founded and formed by an association of Filipinos living in Barcelona. They phrased themselves as FIBA-SYM which stands for “Filipinos in Barcelona- Society of Youthful Minds”. Moreover, the successful production of the pageant on the 26th of October held at the Aquarella Hotel Music & Restaurant was chiefly organised by Rolly Arcega Bernacer. One of the youthful minds responsible for the presence of 8 determined candidates, mostly came from different parts of Europe, who sensationally pranced and fearlessly articulated during the bravura display on a centre stage. 

Without further ado, here are the coquettishly charming ladies during their supple PRODUCTION NUMBER & INTRODUCTION; fascinating spectacle of NATIONAL COSTUME; tantalising swagger in SWIMWEAR and the flounce in plunging neckline LONG GOWN. Thank you to Rolly Arcega Bernacer for capturing and sharing the full body portraits of the 8 ladies.

Candidate No. 1, Candy Barrett of Italy 

Candidate No. 2, Johanna Adelmund of Germany

Candidate No. 3, Jan Nicole Sotto of Palma de Mallorca

Candidate No. 4, Jan Ortuz Torres of Barcelona, Spain

Candidate No. 5, Iwa Moto- Hardy of London, United Kingdom

Candidate No. 6, Lea Pascua of North Tenerife, Spain

Candidate No. 7, Jade Chloe Colobong of Oslo, Norway

Candidate No. 8, Patricia Mcay Go of Vienna, Austria

Iwa Moto- Hardy's attempt at succeeding the 2018 title-holder, Miss Rica Quines Santos, came to a fruition but behind her triumph was a backbone bolster of family and friends. Apart from her becoming the unanimously proclaimed Queen, a few candidates also walked away with contrived awards and 2 contenders with well-esteemed hierarchy status:

The coronation night at the Aquarella Hotel Music & Restaurant wasn't just wrapped in a semblance of eye catching and obsequious candidates on a theatrical stage. More importantly, it was attended and applauded by a teeming of like-minded crowd, whose sensitivity wasn't a spectre of virtue signalling. Because of the generosity of spirit amongst Filipinos and other nationalities who were present on the night, the production of the Queen of Ikatlong Lahi 2019 transpired fruitfully.

The search is on... 

On the 13th of October this year, the inspirational Miss Vicky Lee and her beloved friends will convene once again their assiduous powerhouse event at The WayOut Club. For the past 26 years, this annual catwalk contest has been held in London, United Kingdom. It was intentionally conceptualised, created and organised to uplift the intelligence, beauty and creativity of Transgender people (particularly the Transgender women). Moreover, this milestone event also brings forward a greater awareness and acknowledgement of Transgender people to the wider LGBTQIA+ community. Fundamentally speaking, this uptown catwalk contest and this award winning oldest Transgender Night Club (The WayOut Club) have been unconditionally sustained by Miss Vicky Lee for decades.

ALTERNATIVE MISS LONDON

 by: MisS VictoriA DaviD

It has withstood the test of time ever since it was founded and formed in 1993 by Miss Vicky Lee and Stephan Whitffield. A regular Saturday nightclub which provides a comforting place for safe drinking, out of harm's way, with a dance floor and engaging shows for the LGBTQI community members and their admirers. I am talking about the prestigious and now famous The Wayout Club which is also behind the catwalk contest entitled, Alternative Miss London. 

In 1992, Stephan Whitfield founded Alternative Miss London for he had a mission to share and show to the world how naturally beautiful, resourcefully creative and innately intelligent transgender women are.

This coming 22nd of October 2016, the inspirational Miss Vicky Lee and her hard working team cordially invite us all to witness and bedazzle by the beauty of the desirous candidates as well as their leading-edge performances on stage.

This year's Alternative Miss London will be held at The Minories located at 64-73 Minories, London EC3N 1JL. A traditional pub with beer garden and less than a minute walk from Tower Hill Underground Station. Here is the link of its location for your reference and courtesy of www.thewayoutclub.com,
