Miss Brazil UK 2013
As one of the world’ s most cosmopolitan cities, it is undeniable that Londoners have openly embraced the cultural wealth that immigrants have brought to this fine city over the years, and the colourful Brazilian community is no exception. London will be hosting a long-awaited Miss Brazil UK contest and you’ d better brace yourselves for a night of glamour, fun and – it goes without saying – Brazilian sex appeal. Miss Brazil UK – an initiative inspired by many other world-known beauty pageants- is an exciting opportunity for aspiring starlets and models to get exposure and take part in a one-of-a-kind competition that can change a girl’ s life for good. Find that hard to believe? Think again. Among the famous celebrities that started out as former beauty pageants are American journalists Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, actresses Halle Berry and Sharon Stone, and even TV mogul Oprah Winfrey. As a country that boasts about the beauty of its women, landscapes and its enviably booming economy – not to mention the host of the upcoming 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games – it’ s fair to say that the hype about all things Brazilian is definitely here to stay. And that’ s also precisely why the ideal candidate for Miss Brazil UK should have more than just good looks and charisma; she should proudly represent the Brazilian community and reflect the importance of such heritage throughout the pageant. Candidates who want to stand out and make a good impression on the judges should make good use of some timeless rules that have shaped beauty pageants throughout the years:
• An elegant walk that oozes confidence and attitude;
• Very good knowledge of current events. The ideal candidate should be able to talk confidently about the things she holds true to her heart, thereby allowing her to reveal her intelligence and convictions;
• Make-up and styling should be done expertly to enhance the candidate’ s features and give her that‘ effortlessly’ glamorous look that we all love;
• A healthy diet- as advised by a nutritionist- combined with exercising and a positive mental outlook work wonders too;
• Renowned beauty pageant trainers and vocal coaches are also known to be very helpful;
• A contestant’ s wave should be subtle and classy; Here is the moral of the story: good looks and charisma might get you through the door, but they won’ t be enough to keep you in the room. Brazilian girls of all sizes and colours are invited to take part in the Miss Brazil UK cont ¬ est, proving that beauty lies skin deep; at the end of the day, it’ s all about confidence and discipline. If you think you have the attributes listed above, combined with the desire to shine on an unforgettable night of entertainment, then Miss Brazil UK is the pageant for you.
