Beauty Contests – another hat-trick in July with Miss Angel
I wrote about the flood of beauty contests in December when there were 3 beauty contests being held in a week’s time (hat-trick, if you like – Republica Miss Teen, Riddhi Siddhi Miss Teen, and Miss Teen Tamang). After that, we had College Ambassador, Miss Mangol, Miss India Worldwide Nepal, Kid Queen, Miss Lumbini, and announcements of Miss Tamang (canceled) plus combined Miss Tamang and Miss Aryan. That is not all, we have a recent announcement of yet another contest, Miss Angel 2010.
A rough history of beauty contests from November to May (10 contests in 7 months and another hat-trick beauty contest announcement for July)**
- Mr and Miss Kathmandu – November, 2009
- College Ambassador – December, 2009
- Miss Newa – December, 2009
- Republica Miss Teen – December, 2009
- Miss Teen Tamang – December, 2009
- Riddhi Siddhi Miss Teen – January, 2010
- Miss Mangol – March, 2010
- Miss India Worldwide Nepal – March, 2010
- Kid Queen – May, 2010
- Miss Lumbini – May, 2010
- Miss Tamang – July, 2010 (announced)
- Miss Aryan – July, 2010 (announced)
- Miss Angel – July, 2010 (announced)
** – This is a rough and unofficial statistics based on our previous reporting. There might have been more contests at that time.
Miss Tamang 2010 rescheduled for July 1
According to previous announcement, the Miss Tamang 2010 beauty contest was supposed to be held on May 1 by Everest Fashion Home. When Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra wanted to do a separate contest, the organizations began to seek a common ground so that confusion is not created by conducting similar contests.
Previous two Miss Tamang contests were organized by Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra and it seems logical that they want to continue their program. After a debate of a couple of months finally Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra and Everest Fashion Homes have agreed to organize only one Miss Tamang.
As if we don’t have enough Miss Whatever contests … it is funny how they were going organize two Miss Tamang beauty contests one on May 1 by Everest and another on first week of July by Tamang Kendra. Everest home had already selected 17 contestants (in photo above) for the event and they were already given a month-long training. Now, the combined contest will include the 17 contestants plus the contestants selected by Tamang Kendra. The organizers say that there might be about 34 contestants in the contest.
Miss Tamang 2010 to be held on May 1, 2010
Yet another beauty contest, Miss Tamang 2010 is going to be held on May 1, 2010. This beauty contest is different from the Miss Teen Tamang held in December of 2009. The first Miss Tamang (2006) was Zenisha Moktan, who also won the Miss Nepal title in 2009.
The organizers have selected 15 contestants to compete for the title. In the following photo features Miss Tamang 2010 contestants.
The winner of Miss Tamang title will be awarded with Rs. 25,000 in cash, and the first and second runners-up will be receiving Rs. 15,000 and 7,000 respectively, in addition to other gift hampers.
Tsering Moktan became Miss Teen Tamang 2009
In the event, Tsering Moktan was awarded Miss Teen Tamang 2009 title. Amrita Moktan won the first runner-up title and Dechhen Chukti Dong won the second runner-up title.
The Miss Tourism 2007 and second runner-up of Miss Nepal 2009, Kunchan Moktan handed the Miss Tamang crown to Tsering. With the crown, Tsering was also awarded with Rs. 15,000 cash and Miss Personality award. The first and second runner-ups were also awarded with a cash of Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 5,000 respectively.
Other award winners are:
Flood of Beauty Contests (Update)
There was the time when the government didn’t allow Miss Nepal to be held and this is the time when at least three beauty contests are being held in a week.
Tamang beauty contest, Miss Teen Tamang 2009, is being held on December 25 (Poush 10). As I wrote previously, Newari beauty contest, Miss Newa 2009, is being held on December 30 (Poush 14). And, Republica Miss Teen, supposed to be held on December 21 has moved to December 31 (Poush 16) due to the Maoist’s nationwide general strike for three days starting Dec 20.
Is that all? Or, did I miss some more beauty contests?
If the trend continues, someday we might be proud to be called – ‘Nepal, the land of beauties’.
