Lite 87 FM Miss Universe Sri Lanka 2013
Mini pageants
The Lite Miss Universe Sri Lanka 2013 preliminary mini pageants took place at the
Ranweli Holiday Village in Negombo at which the top ten contestants battled it out for the titles ‘Miss Photogenic’ and ‘Miss Glowing Skin’, followed by a cocktail party where the contestants took the ramp for the final time and showcased all the hard work they have put in since early August.
The afternoon was dedicated to swim suit photo shoots and shoots at various scenic locations in the hotel premises itself.
Speaking on the preparation leading up to the event, the National Director of the event Rosita Wickremesinghe says that though it has been a harrowing task to put it all together it’s a just reward to see the final production.
“It’s a really good feeling when it all comes together and runs smoothly. This is the latest of many events that I have done so I’ve seen a lot over the years, but the standout feature this time is that the contestants are younger than usual but no less capable.”
The event was choreographed by the acclaimed choreographer Lou Ching Wong who divulged yet again the tricks of the trade that he had picked up over 20 years of being in the business, and added that he had an enjoyable time working with the ladies.
“When you do something for over 20 years you pick up more than a few things and that’s what we try to give back time and time again. We have been very fair and devoted an equal amount of time to all the contestants. Some were very raw when they started out but have shown remarkable improvement to be able to take a stage like this.”
The finals of the pageant will take place on 14 September at the Mount Lavinia Hotel where the eventual Miss Universe Sri Lanka will be crowned.

Aug 30, 2013 at 12:00 amthere are lots of beautiful girls in sri lanka. the above candidates either their legs are too thick. haggard looking or so tiny and skinny doesnt give the impression of a woman like school kids without proper food.

waraka says:

Gon Aliya says:
Sep 01, 2013 at 12:00 amTotally agree with the comment by Gon Banda. A few of the contestants have what are called" 'Boonchi kakul". Skinny legs, no calfs at all. I would be really embarrassed for Sri Lanka , if one of them would be chosen to represent Sri Lanka at an international event.

English Sir says:
Sep 02, 2013 at 12:00 amTYPICAL SRI LANKAN COMMENTS!! some of them could have got their comments Grammar Checked before posting!! Wonder when we'll GROW UP as a nation and start appreciating / supporting one another, instead of making statements (Criticisms) merely for the sake of making em! PATHETIC!!!!!!!

Gon Banda says:
Sep 11, 2013 at 12:00 amNone of these women have a chance in any worldwide competition. Its wishful thinking on the part of some to think that they have a chance. This lot will not pass the first selection process. Mark my words.
