The 11 delegates from around the world had to pay their own way
to TnT for the pageant.
Miss Germany is said to have spoken to her lawyer before boarding
her flight home at the Piarco International Airport.
“He is now making efforts to contact the organiser of the
German leg of the pageant to discuss their next move,” one
source said.
Miss Germany’s participation in this “Miss Teen World
2006” is regarded as very important and is “big news”
in her country.
“We were fooled; it was a real low-class show and the franchise
should be taken away from those responsible,” slammed the
source.
“Nothing was up to standard.”
She stressed that the teens travelled long hours from all over the
world to be here.
“Kyra Robison (Miss Australia) travelled for 16 hours all
by herself to get here,” it was noted.
“It took her three days as she had to go to Los Angeles, then
to Texas before arriving in Trinidad.
“These girls didn’t deserve the way they were treated
on and off the stage.”
The high-priced show, which was reportedly attended by only 75 people,
at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya was agreeably poor.
“Ask those people who paid $500 and got served in styrotex
plates that had a sandwich and got a soft drink in a plastic cup
…” the source added.
Mirror was told that nothing went right for the teenagers that night,
but according to the source it didn’t only start then.
“It had been rough treatment from the time they landed,”
the source alleged.
“Imagine the girls were on the road all the time; they complained
to me that they hardly got anything to eat.
“Plenty crackers they had.”
She said they referred to the pageant as “a kindergarten”.
She spoke of activities backstage, where young men ran through the
area where the girls were changing.
“The young teenagers were all put at risk,” the source
continued.
“Imagine there were just two change rooms to serve that number
of delegates.
She revealed that Miss South Africa occupied one room while an unidentified
delegate took the other.
“For the other girls to get some privacy, we had to hold up
a curtain …” Mirror was also told.
“Is that the way things happen at an international pageant?”
She said the girls all left TnT with bad memories.
“Many of the girls including, Miss Hungary, told me they would
not be encouraging any one to ever come this way to participate
in a queen show again,” the source added.
“They left an unhappy bunch; imagine is only yesterday (Wednesday)
Miss Germany tasted a roti.
“She was encouraged to visit Tobago, which she did at her
own expense and enjoyed it.
“She was the envy of the others.”
Efforts to speak to Ramnarine “Molly” Bridgelalsingh
of Miss Teen World Organisation proved futile, as his cellphone
went unanswered.
