Mother, Daughter Pageant was a superb celebration of love and sophistication

The 27th production of the Supa-Stylistics’ Mother and Daughter Pageant was nothing short of sophistication, finesse and clean entertainment. Its classy content served to remind everyone in attendance that the bond between parent and child is indeed, a magical beauty to behold.

Under the theme “Love’s Kaleidoscope”, the pageant took place at the National Cultural Centre. It saw 44 gracious contestants in three categories: Junior, Middle and Senior. The Junior Segment saw eight mother and daughter pairs. The participants included: Cyntina Bharat-Bacchus and Maya; Danielle Deveira and Tzeitel; Kenicia Lewis and Aariel; Marica Abrams and Nomarra; Marika Dawson and Onecia; Mia Ritchie and Breann; Michelle Drepaul and Rawlanna; and Theana McDonald and Joanna. Members of the audience were engrossed by the glistening, princess-styled attires of the participants and cheered them on from beginning to end. But only three were able to secure the top positions. Coming in third place was Cyntina BharatBacchus and her daughter Maya. The lovely Danielle Deveira and her princess Tzeitel copped the second position. Capturing the first place prize was Marika Dawson and her daughter Onecia. The duo was marvelously attired in sparkling white and green gowns that depicted the beauty of a sunny day. They walked away with tickets for two to any Fly Jamaica destination; a $10,000 gift voucher compliments of Shoe Haven; one smartphone; one electronic tablet and a perfume set from Elite Fragrances. The Middle Category was ultra-chic and full of finesse. Six mother and daughter pairs competed for the coveted title. The contestants included: Charlene Hamilton and Chrislene; Hollis David and Amaya; Marcy Cameron and Chelsia; Norma Hughes and Shanika; Ronda Daymon and Rebecca; and Shonette Vyphuis and Saniayah. Each pair fabulously strutted their stuff across stage, as they showcased their colourful, yet creative designs. Before the results were announced for this category, the Supa-stylistics headed by Dr. Sulan Fung-Browne and her mother, Mrs. Ingrid Fung, allowed four pairs of fathers and sons to showcase that they too can command the stage. If the roaring cheers and resounding applause was anything to judge by, one can say that the Supa-stylistics might consider having a “fatherson” edition in the future. It was indeed, one of the most entertaining segments of the night, especially when a father and his twin boys displayed their jaw dropping waistline moves that could fit right in with the upcoming Guyana Carnival.
