Inkling: Carousel

Hold me.

Did he just tell me he wanted me to hold him? Or did he order me to hold him? Is this his way of making me feel needed? Or is this him undermining my person. Is this him making me his scapegoat again? Or does he actually want to feel my arms around him? Impossible. After everything that had happened over the summer, he wouldn’t want me in the same room, let alone hold him. But he said those words. Does he still love me? Or is this the beginning of another one of his manipulative ploys? Am I going be one of his toys again? If so, do I even care? Would I mind? Of course I would. I should mind. But I don’t.

Hold me.

His eyes lie. I know that now. But I couldn’t help but look into them and be lead to believe he actually cares. He wants me to hold him. Does he?

If I hold him, would I be giving in? Is that going to be me being the slut that I usually am? Will it mean im stupid? Will it mean he won? But if I don’t, would I regret it? Will I be that guy who would show his picture to my friends and say “he’s the one who got away”?

Hold me.

And I do. And it all starts again from here.

Your Opinion on Janine

Which areas does Janine Tugunon need to improve the most at, so she can nab a top 5 finish at the Miss Universe pageant this year?

I say there are 5 major components of a modern queen, which are basically prerequisites for a good placement at any pageant.

1. Body
2.  Presentation
3. Personality
4. Wit
5. Packaging

Body

We conquered 2010 with Venus’ 22 inch waistline, and 2011 with Shamcey’s super toned  + healthy looking body. Does Janine have either or both? Can she still catch up with the Bodines and the Irene’s who have fabulous bodies?

Presentation

Shamcey’s tsunami, Dayana Mendoza’s twirls, Riyo’s wings, Miriam’s elegance, J. Hawking’s stomp – evidence that a good catwalk would bring you miles ahead of the competition. Does Janine’s pseudo-tsunami walk good enough? Do you think she has what it takes to glide her way to the crown?

Does Janine have Ximena’s easy-breezy poses (giggles in-tow)? Can she charm her way to Leila’s throne?

Personality

We all know that the organizers have a say as to who gets in the top 15 or 20. The so-called trump cards depend on politics. Not being replaced by the trump cards depends on a girl’s relationship with the organizers. Rumors swirled around the exclusion of Vivian Ortiz. The short lived run of Vanessa Goncsalvez too was rumored due to her bitchy personality.

Does Janine have an easy-to-get-along-with personality that won’t antagonize the other girls and the organizers? Does she project a positive persona on pictures and videos? Can Janine do a “Jesinta” and land on the top 5 with a congeniality award under her arms?

Wit

The preliminary interview is so important. Apparently, that was where most of our queens who didn’t penetrate the semis failed at.

Wit isn’t about being Magna Cum Laude, because that obviously didn’t help Licaros. Wit is about being sharp. It entails knowing HOW to answer rather than WHAT to answer. Take Venus and Shamcey’s interviews. They weren’t as smart as the other girls, but they were confident and straight. Their answers were unforgettable.

Does Janine have wit that can help her penetrate the semis and give her an edge at the last round?

Packaging

Hair, make-up, aura.

Does Janine need to change up from Pinay Sweetie to Diva, or add some fierceness to her arsenal?

Sho0uld her hair go straight or curly with bounce?

If you think Janine is safe in all of the facets, then go ahead and let your voice be heard over at the comment section.

If you think there is one or more areas she needs to work on, then tell me. I will take all opinions and make a composite review of Janine after. Also, check out my get-go analysis of Janine here.

Gearing Up for Ms. Philippines Earth 2012: An Analysis

To understand Miss Earth Philippines, you have to understand the force behind it – Carousel Productions.

The thing is, this team isn’t like other pageant organizers. If you look at the past winners of both Miss Earth Philippines and Miss Earth, you’d notice that most of the work the winners have is actually after the pageant itself. Basically, the point is, Carousel Prod., actually sticks to its advocacies and does use its queens as much as they could to forward their vision. Take Miss Earth 2011, Olga of Ecuador. She’s considered the “Busiest Queen” of 2011. So were Larissa and Nicole before her.

This adherence to their advocacy has a multitude of implications to the pageant itself. And so many goddesses were dropped because of this.

Criteria (based on past competitions and winners)

1.       Smart/Witty – compare Ms. Tanzania 2008 to eventual winner, Karla Henry. Consider also, Jennifer Pazmino to Nicole Faria of 2010. There is also the inclusion of Bokang Montjane in 2007. And Athena Imperial’s triumph in the national pageant in 2011. Since of course, they need a functional ambassador, they’d really need someone who has something between their ears. Other examples: Jessika Trisko, Dania Mendez and Winfred Omakwe

2.       Sweet and Pleasant – This is a major result of how Carousel works. Of course they’d want a queen who is easier to deal with, than a crazy primadonna.  This is considered to be why a lot of Goddesses lose out in the completion. The organizers always weed out the bitches. Take Sarka, Ms Czech Rep. 2011, the heavy favorite for the crown. And the inclusion of the plain Ms. Taiwan. The thing with this is it’s not about being nice to get in, but about not being a bitch so you can stay in. Other Examples: Alexandra Braun, Pricilla Mereiles, Karla Henry, Nicole Faria, Olga Alava.

3.       Presentation over Body – Take how Sandra Seifert won most major awards even though Misses Brazil and Venezuela were superior physically. It’s not about the machine, it’s how it’s driven. Jessica Trisko wasn’t even beautiful, but her ramp was. Hill Hernandez of Chile was only “okay” compared to the Ms. India that time. But the way they presented themselves won over their lack in the body department.

These considered, you go on look and read about the MPE candidates for 2012 and see if any fit the 

bill.

My Front-runner so far is Ms. Negros Oriental – Glenna Duch.

Who’s yours?
