An Opportunity to Get Into the Modelling Industry

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:01:45 +0000

I’ve always been interested in modelling and Miss Burnley sounded like allot of fun.

Getting ready before the show started was the best part of the experince for me. It was really exciting and the atmosphere between the girls was great.

Taking part really helped with my confidence and made me more comfortable on stage.

The experience was amazing and I can’t imagine anything that could have made it better!

I would definitely encourage girls to enter Miss Burnley, it is great for confidence and a great chance to meet new people, as well as a great opportunity to get into the modelling industry.

Thanks again for the great experience.

An Amazing Feeling

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:58:37 +0000

I entered Miss Burnley because I want to be a model and I thought it would give me experience and confidence to do so.

The best part of the whole experience was cat walking on a stage in front of loads of people.

Taking part in Miss Burnley gave me confidence speaking in front of a large group of people

If you’re thinking of entering Miss Burnley DO IT!!

It’s great fun and even if modelling isn’t your thing it’s a great way to meet new people and just have fun, and it’s an amazing feeling having everyone’s eyes on you.

Thank you for a great day/night I hope to take part again

You Don’t Have to Look a Certain Way

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:47:19 +0000

I entered Miss Burnley build my confidence.

Meeting the girls and the people backstage who helped out with the catwalk routines was the best part of the day.

Taking part in Miss Burnley made me realise that you don’t have to look a certain way to be beautiful and that’s what I wanted to portray and show other girls.

If you’re thinking of entering go for it and just enjoy the experience.

I feel I have grown as a person and this has inspired me to push myself more career wise so thank you

Just Go For It

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:42:27 +0000

I entered because I wanted to challenge myself, as I’m quite a shy person. I wanted toput myself into a situation that was out of my comfort zone and hopefully come out of it stronger, which I did.

The whole day was great fun but by far the best bit was the adrenaline and pride I felt when afterwards I got home.

Taking part boosted my confidence and made me less shy, I’m far more outgoing now and don’t feel vulnerable in situations where the focus is on me.

If you’re thinking of entering – Just go for it. It is scary and nerve-wracking on the day of the finals, but all the other girls are in the same boat.

You make lots of new friends and the pride you feel afterwards having taken part in such an event is worth it.

The Whole Day Was Great

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:38:04 +0000

I entered Miss Burnley to meet new people and I thought it would be a great opportunity to try something new and exciting.

The best part of the experience was meeting all the girls. I had such a good laugh and giggle all day with them it made the day so much fun. Also the dominos pizza was a highlight of the day. I wish I could re live it and do it all again.

Taking part in Miss Burnley gave me the opportunity to experience something new, meet new friends and go to new places.

I thought the whole day was great and I can’t think of any areas that could be improved or changed.

My advice to anyone who wanted to enter Miss Burnley would be to go for it. The experience is invaluable.

Miss Burnley, Catherine Drain, joined 60 other Miss England Semi Finalists at the luxureous Champneys Health Resort in Leicestershire.

With just 15 places up for grabs for the Miss England Final, competition was tough.

Catherine was joined by 8 other regional winners from the North West. Self self titled “Team North” met at Chester Railway Station to travel down to Leicestershire by minibus which gave them lots of time to bond.

The girls stayed overnight in Nottingham before moving on the Leicestershire for the next day’s Semi Final.

Each girl had to have a panel interview in their self created “Eco Wear” – an outfit made from recycled or ethically sourced materials.
Catherine’s creation wowed the judges and had special mention on the Miss England website.

Then each girl took part in the Sports Challenge, a Royal Navy Bleep Test. This really tested the stamina and was won by Miss Southpport, Abi Bridgeman who travelled down with Catherine.

An Evening Wear round followed where Catherine dazzled in a stunning red dress.

Although Catherine didn’t make the 15 that went through to the final she says that she had an amazing day and is looking forward to being an Ambassador for Burnley for the rest of her year in office.
