Luela Figueira was crowned Miss Linden Town Week 2014, on Saturday evening, in Linden at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground.
Figueira copped the top prizes, which include a plot of land and a motorcycle. She also won the prize for “Best Smile”, which include a digital camera, in addition to being “Miss Congeniality”. She will take home US$100 for the latter.
The third runner-up spot went to Keyana De’Souza, who represented Block 22; while Chelsea Venture, who represented Amelia’s Ward, copped the second runner-up position.
The first runner-up went to Manouska Vyfhuis, who represented Nottinghamshire.
In the final question segment, Figueira was asked what advice she would give to girls who post semi-nude photos on social network site Facebook and to share her views on the issue. She responded by saying that she could not believe that young people should do such a thing.
“My advice, know your worth, self-worth is the first worth you need if you need others to respect you. So respect yourself before you expect others to respect you,” she responded.
