Working beautiesBy Ruhanie Perera and Laila Nasry![]() May 26 was definitely a red letter day for the 14 contestants vying for the Miss Working Girl crown. It was their toughest and most challenging assignment (sans a pesky boss), which called for them to 'perform' and 'prove' themselves. It was now or never.
Miss Photogenic, the first of the mini-pageants saw the girls put their
best 'face' forward. Next came the clips of Miss Talent. They seemed to
have lots of fun, as they broke away from their 'working schedule' and
let their hair down doing what they considered their forte. It was an event
when the spirit of dancing and singing reigned supreme. The contestants
who preferred to swim against the tide showed off their talents at original
activities like card tricks, news reading, fabric painting and jewellery
making. Finally came the clips of the mini-pageant where the most beautiful
'soul' was chosen - Miss Personality. With the conclusion of that presentation,
all that was left was names of the winners to be announced.
Petite Anjula Rajapakse walked away with Miss Photogenic. Uschi Perera 'danced' off with Miss Talent, along with songbird Kishali Waidyasekera and dancer Wasana Danthanarayan as first and second runners-up respectively. Kishali was called forward once more as Miss Personality, obviously she was everyone's favourite gal.
Drum roll...pause... and the names of the winners were announced. Wasana Danthanarayan was second runner-up and Kishali Nilukshi Waidyasekera first runner-up. Two contestants having made it,12 beating hearts were left , of which one heart skipped a beat as her name was announced - Uschi Perera, Miss Working Girl 2000. |
