EDITOR

In this Edition we interviewed Kings and Queens who won beauty Pageants 2020 and 2019 to find out if they have a common factor that made them win so we can help you get that common factor to win beauty pageants, we asked them the same questions, go through all their answers and you will get points that will help you win Beauty Pageants.

From what I have observed beauty pageants have the same point system, entering a beauty pageant without knowing that point system is like going to war without a weapon.

We also created this edition to show event organiser that they should make it with it for their contestants, models pay an entry fee, they buy clothes, do UPCOMING MAG must be worth it, starting with 3 a nails, hair and more. Therefore, the prizes cash prize.

What makes a model?

How you present yourself to the community

around you, examples you are setting.

Mostly what makes a model is Confidence, how you display yourself, how you dress, it is not really about how you walk but how you present yourself.
