T&T at Miss World 2007 (Sanya, China)/Gallery

Name: Valene Maharaj
Age: 22 years
Height: 5' 8"

NOTICE: Pics of Valene in Sanya follow hereafter.

Lol! T&T and Vietnam look like they were definitely exploring tropical Sanya. I am a bit confused though as to how the events are organized. Ms. Thailand along with several of the (same group of) contestants are seen constantly outdoors while the other 70-80 or so contestants are virtually missing. Obviously this pic was taken inside the hotel. Ms. Thailand looks like she is just about to leave for a formal event while the other 2 women look like they are not scheduled for any formal event. I wish MWorg was more transparent as to how they are distributing the contestants for events.

Another pic of Val with some of the other beautiful contestants inside the hotel.

Beautiful Valene and Ada-what georgeous young ladies!

Valene with her room mate Miss Tanzania, Richa. They look cute together and seem to be getting along very well! I am sure that they will be very good friends by the time 1st Dec 2007 rolls around.

O.K. As I expected-Valene is getting better with time. I have seen numerous unphotoshopped pics of her at the MT&T pageant and she looked stunning but then I saw the previous pics in Sanya where she looked beautiful but not outstanding in most. She looks fantastics in this pic which I might add is the first real official event that she has attended. Based on Peter Elias's track record I think he always coaches his charges to build momentum as a pageant progresses rather that just create an instant stir upon arrival.

Congratulations to Valene on placing in the top 20 of the Beach Beauty finals of the 57th edition of Miss World!

Valene was one of the 20 semifinalists-Congrats Miss T&T!

Can you spot Valene in these pics?
