Culturama 2009 Queen Contestants
As most are aware, Culturama 2009 is less than two months away now, and many Nevis Island dwellers as well as tourists are looking forward to the beautiful festival and fun events.
That’s right, it’s coming up! So, for those who don’t know exactly what it is… here is a brief breakdown. Culturama was first held in 1974. It is an annual festival, two-weeks long, which takes place around Emancipation Day (the first Monday in August).
This celebrates the emancipation of slaves in the 1830s. Cultural and class barriers are overcome for a fortnight of entertainment that includes great music, calypso tents, fashion shows, the annual crowning of a new queen, beach parties, live theatre, food and drink events and much more. It is the funnest two weeks in Nevis!
Just recently, the lovely Nevis contestants were chosen for the Culturama Pageant and SKNvibes reported on comments from local island dwellers! This is big doing there, and I am excited to introduce the six Nevis Island beauties.
The beauties, dubbed the Sensational Six, were presented to the public at a simple ceremony on the Charlestown Waterfront after a motorcade through the town. Weekend Vibes asked Nevisians for their impressions of the six young ladies.

I love Tatiana. She is full of talent and beauty. All the girls looked lovely for the launching. I think the show would be competitive. I wish all the girls good luck.

It will be a good show because they are six talented girls. It’s going to be a very tough show. Beauty, talent and excitement will be there. I know all the girls personally. They all come to my store and, from interacting with them, I know all of them are intelligent. Best of luck to all of them.

I think it will be a good show this year because they are well-known fashionable beautiful young girls. I might not know their educational status but if you have to judge by watching them, I will say that they are all intelligent.

I think that the girls are gorgeous and wonderful. I think that will be one of the best shows ever. Once the girls perform to expectations the show will be great. I am from Rawlins and am rooting for Tamerelle.
Chunky (a.k.a big thing) said:
The girls are nice. I think it’s between Kishsandra and Mika. One has the walk and one has the act: put those with their talent and you will see. I think the show will be great. I will be there, so make sure you are there to experience the show of the year.

I think the chairperson is a very good person for this event. I give a plus to the committee because all the girls reside in Nevis. The launching was very creative; the girls are full of experience also. More public appearance of the girls should be exposed before the pageant.
