Miss Minsk finalist: Organizers asked to forget about contest

One of the finalists of the notorious contest Miss Minsk 2013 was surprised to find out that... there was no contest at all.

“The organisers phoned the participants of the contest and advised that we should forget about it. They did not comment on anything and did not show the final on TV. Many girls were offended,” the Miss Minsk finalist told Euroradio. “I understand the tactics – be quiet and keep silent. However, who will award the crown in two years? Who will represent Belarus at Miss Supranational?”

She is indignant at the fact that all the girls were reduced to the same height after the contest.

“They think that all the girls are strippers and prostitutes although there were many good girls worth to win the crown. Belarusians can only discuss, they cannot support. It is a pity that many good girls made it to the final but were not noticed.”

They noticed strippers and dancers. There were five of them and some did not make it to the final, the girl said. The fact that the judges preferred some girls to the others could strike everyone’s eyes.

“Maybe it is just a coincidence, but it is strange that 5 strippers and dancers who knew one another met in one contest and were getting the most attention. You could see the same faces in the contest diaries too. The girls did not need to be asked to do anything – they knew what to do. And the scandal has become a good PR campaign for many,” the beauty said.

The organization of the contest was not satisfactory, the girl noted. The girls had to pay for manicure and pedicure and they did not get any meals at all.

“I did not pay much attention to it because I knew that the contest required some financial contribution from us. However, we did not get any meals and nobody even asked about it. At least we were slender and thin before the final,” the girl laughed.

Many girls had problems at work and at university: “They had to get fake sick leaves, ask for days-off and beg off during exams.”

Rumours about the future winners appeared about a week before the final.

“And the rumours turned out to be true,” the girl smiled.

Some of the beauties were invited to the President’s party after the contest: “They just read out the list of invitees. Nobody tried refusing.”

And the President’s party couldn’t go without an awkward situation. Miss Minsk was wearing... the dress that can be seen in the erotic club photos distributed on the Internet.
