Holly Carpenter from Raheny in Dublin is the representative of all the Universities in Ireland this year’s iMiss Ireland Pageant which took place in Ballsbridge Dublin on August 13th. Holly is 19 and going into her second year at NCAD in Textiles. Fun loving Holly likes art and crafts, taking pictures and fancy dress and was once mistaken for Kin Kardashian in New York! She said “I love Ireland and would be proud to represent my country. Let’s face it, I wouldn’t be able to do it for sport or the Eurovision but this is something I can do. I’m down to earth, up for the craic and have green eyes – Irish or what.”

MISS ARAB WORLD 2010

Rim El Tounsi of Tunisia was crowned MISS ARAB WORLD 2010 on December 7th in Cairo, Egypt. Eighteen young women of Arab descent competed in the annual pageant. 



The pageant, which aspires to embrace the conservative nature of Arab culture, was criticized by two conservative contestants who felt uncomfortable with the excessive Western touch of the pageant. Al Zahraa Al Maleki, 21, had been representing Oman before pulling out. 



“For me, this was wrong, especially as a woman from an Arab Gulf society,” she said. “I joined with the understanding that this was a cultural event, but after three days of wearing full makeup, standing for photo shoots and learning to walk on stage, I chose to go back to my classes,” she added. 



Miss Kuwait, who was accompanied by her mother, left a few days later.
