The final of the 10th MISS TOURISM PLANET and MISS MEDITERRANEAN 2006 took place
in Greece and Krystle Robba, Model Search Winner 2005, was selected as 2nd
Runner up and Miss Friendship.   ‘We are delighted with Krystle's
performance,’ said Charlene Figueras. 'Comments throughout the two weeks were
extremely positive and we knew that Krystle would do well. Her skills, her looks
and her friendliness helped Krystle stand out from a group of very beautiful
models. She competed in swimwear, evening gown and national/fantasy costume and
she had enormous stage presence.' For Krystle the experience was a new and very
positive one. 'The mere thought of travelling to Greece was exciting. I had
never travelled so far on my own. During the first few days I found myself
feeling a little lost, since I was only starting to get to know the other
delegates. However, these feelings did not last too long as I soon found them
all very friendly and helpful. I was one of the few who had never attended an
international contest before as most girls go from contest to contest throughout
the world gaining experience, so the others would often give me advice and tips
that proved to be extremely useful.   'The beautiful island of Limnos, where
Miss Mediterranean was held, captured the true essence of Greece and I was
constantly impressed by the scenery, its people and their traditions. I
thoroughly enjoyed the competition and was extremely happy to obtain the second
runner up position and Miss Friendship. I was representing the smallest country
and to have performed as well as I did against experienced models from big
countries like France, Spain and Greece for example felt like a huge achievement
to me.    'However, I did see too how delegates from bigger countries like Spain
or Italy for instance were called to do interviews and were introduced to more
people, whilst I was used as the translator! Nevertheless apart from this, I
enjoyed every moment and thoroughly recommend the experience. I made good
friends from different countries, was invited to attend various other contests
and got to meet many interesting people involved in the fashion industry. It was
definitely something that I would love to repeat if I have the chance!'   Mount
Productions is currently involved in final rehearsals for Model Search 2006 set
to take place at the Alameda Open Air Theatre where two new winners will have
the chance to experience the thrill of competing internationally.
