You all meant the North and Dennery Carnival Queen pageant
Maybe the potential competitors from mid or South of the island were too dark skin for the planning and management committee. 🤔
You mean they could not have one contestant from each district and call it a day?
What the planning committee needs to do is perhaps hold pageants throughout the year in the different districts. Some districts could be combined based on demographic and census. Thereafter, have the winner for each respective district compete in the national pageant.
But then again St. Lucia is very political as well as have and have nots oriented, who knows who, who glorifies their egos etc etc in everything that they do. Having said this there will never be fairness in the selection process if they continue on that trend. That’s just how they roll period full stop.
The folk on the various committees in St. Lucia look to be glorified and elevated by others and they also think they are the cat’s moew. Trust me they are all sadly misled ….in my book only God gets honor, worship and glory.
Maybe a lot of women are just not interested in that sort of thing these days…
well i dont think women care about this nonsense tbh. but the looks too average.
