Demetra Olimpiou Wins Star Cyprus 2009

Cyprus crowned its representatives to Misses Universe and World with the conclusion of Miss Cyprus 2009, also known as Star Cyprus or Carlsberg Pancyprian Beauty Contest, last 2 July 2009 at the Pavillion in the capital Nicosia, once a host of the Miss Universe 2000.

The top prizes in this pageant are Star Cyprus 2009 and Miss Cyprus 2009. Confusing? The former is superior to the latter. The winner of Star Cyprus goes to Miss Universe while Miss Cyprus goes to Miss World.

Star Cyprus 2009 was given to Demetra Olimpiou. She will represent her country at the Miss Universe 2010. Demetra is now the third confirmed representative to the 59th edition of Miss Universe after Turkey and Bolivia. (I have written in this blog entry that Lebanon's Martine Androus was the third one but a switching made her the representative of her country in this year's pageant in the Bahamas.)

The winner of Star Cyprus 2008, Klelia Giasemidou will be the one competing at the Miss Universe 2009 pageant in the Bahamas this coming August 23.

On the other hand, declared as Miss Cyprus 2009 was Christalla Tsiali. She will be competing at the Miss World 2009 pageant in Johannesburg, South Africa and London in December.

Miss Carlsberg or equivalent to First Runner-up went to Antrea Ckolou. Miss Mediterranean or the Second Runner-up was Valentina Elsagiet. The two runners-up will most likely compete at Miss Europe 2009 and Miss Tourism Queen International 2009.

Fifteen graceful ladies participated in the pageant. The top winner, Star Cyprus Demetra Olimpiou, recieved a prize of a new Ford Fiesta.

Who will be Lebanon's Delegate to Miss Universe 2009, Rosarita or Martine?

 

Words have reached us that Miss Lebanon 2008, Rosarita Tawil, is no longer the representative of Lebanon to the Miss Universe 2009 pageant in Bahamas this coming August.

According to some fans, Rosarita Tawil somehow confirmed this with her interviews after the crowning of Miss Lebanon 2009 which was won by Martine Andraos. The new winner is said to be replacing Rosarita.

Rosarita is apparently so sad about this turn of events. She is sad for not able to represent her country to the Miss Universe where she believes she can penetrate the Top 15.

I love that attitude. The girl definitely has the winning attitude.

But sources also told us that Rosarita will still compete for 2009 and Martine will be sent in 2010. Now, everyone is confused. We will update you more about this in the coming days.

Martine Andraos Becomes the Third Confirmed Delegate to Miss Universe 2010 after Winning Miss Lebanon 2009

Eighteen year-old Martine Indraous (Andraos in some reports) became the third confirmed candidate for the Miss Universe 2010 pageant after she was crowned as Miss Lebanon 2009 in Adma, north of Beirut, last Friday, 26 June 2009.

Miss Universe 2009 pageant has not started yet but three countries have already selected their delegates for the 2010 annual pageant.

Turkey is the first country to select their representative when they crowned Senem Kuyucuoglu as Miss Turkey 2009 in April 29.

The second country to crown its representative is Bolivia when Claudia Arce was proclaimed as Miss Bolivia 2009 in May 21.

The new Lebanese beauty queen will compete first at this year's Miss World pageant to be held in London and Johannesburg, South Africa in December before she will take her chance at the 59th Miss Universe. The venue is not yet known as of this time.

Martine beat 18 other beautiful ladies who participated in the pageant. Her First Runner-Up was the crowd favourite, Marie-Ange Sibaaly. Seline Hassoun was Second Runner-Up.

Miss Lebanon 2008, Rosarita Tawil is Lebanon's representative to the 58th Miss Universe pageant in Bahamas in August 23.
