First Pageant experience by Sanne Molenaar (14yr)

The 26th of March was the Miss Westfriesland pageant in ‘Bantam’ in Hoogkarspel
which was organized by Fletcha Events. Cora and Greg had invited me to go there and
I really liked it. I had never been to such a pageant before and it was a nice experience.

The jury consisted of Anke Jabroer, who is the Miss Queen of the World Netherlands 2010-2011, Nanska van de Laar, on behalf of the Noordhollands Dagblad and the designers Cora and Greg of the company Laurisa Inspired.

The pageant consisted of 3 rounds. In the first round, there were shown little films as an introduction of every Miss. In this round, the Misses had to combine blazers of a certain designer with their own clothes in such a way that it would look good.

In the second round, they wore bikinis of Marlies Dekkers and they also had to answer questions about the Westfriesland region and in the final round, the Misses wore beautiful dresses of Laurisa and they were asked what they wanted to mean for Westfriesland if theywould win the pageant.

After having waited for a couple of minutes, the jury had made a decision about who would be the winner. The second Runner Up is Melissa Mantel, the first Runner Up is Lisanne de Rooij and the winner is Liselot Tensen!

I really liked to have experienced this! At first, I actually didn’t know what to expect of a pageant but by now, I know a lot more about what all happens during such an evening and what is going on before and after it wherefore I have learned a lot about it.

One day at Laurisa - young talent Sanne

Hello everybody,

I’m Sanne Molenaar and perhaps I would like to become a fashion designer. For school, everybody has to look into a job you would like to get later and therefore today, I am looking what the job of a fashion designer actually is and whether I like it.

Cora has shown me some dresses she has designed and made and she explained me all the things she does. Beside that, she explained me how she has built up her business and told me that she is already a fashion designer since 28 years, which is in my opinion a very long period of time. She has also designed a lot of dresses for pageants.

Greg showed me some pictures and films of those. I really liked it! Furthermore, he also showed me a film of an advertisement for Hi which he made himself and I was surprised because I didn’t expect that he had made it. Overall, I think it was a very nice day and perhaps in a few years, I will also be a fashion designer!
