The “Luck of the Irish” has been slow to materialise with regard to the Miss Universe Pageant down the years.
Sure enough, Miss Roberta Brown almost made it in 1983 when she was placed as second runner-up to Lorraine Downes who represented New Zealand. Then there were of course the “also ran” finishes, by the Irish lovelies, Julie Ann Farnham in 1975, Loraine Bernadette Enriquez in 1977, Olivia Tracey in 1985 and Andrea Roche in 1997. However Ireland’s beautiful women have always fallen short in the final first place selections, unlike the Miss World contenders, whose performance continues to maintain a relatively high standard.
Well that was before Co.Tipperary entered the fray, this year, with 19 year old top Irish model Miss Rozanna Purcell, a native of Clonmel, here in Co. Tipperary.
Top Irish model and Miss Universe Ireland 2010, who stands 5’9″ tall with light brown hair, isn’t just your average top quality eye candy, there’s brains and not a little self confidence travelling with this classic Tipperary beauty this year.
The quick witted and focused Miss Purcell, who spent her early life growing up on a horse breeding farm here in Tipperary, is presently a full time student, studying Politics in University College Dublin (UCD). Between studies she has carved out a very successful modelling career with Assets Model Agency in Lower Leeson Street, Dublin, and in addition, she is UCD’s Representative on Politics. In 2007, she was selected to act as an Ambassador for Ireland in Ecuador as part of the Experience International Living (EIL) program, working on the renovation of a school in the Riobamba region, and funding book supplies for the school through her many fund-raising activities here in Ireland.
While many would feel that the whole Miss Universe concept is disrespectful of her sex, Rozanna is quick to point out that this pageant serves as a platform to empower young women to celebrate the many forms of worldwide beauty, while helping women throughout the world to achieve their career goals, giving them the opportunity to become both National and International role models.
This is one very positive and focused young lady and the eyes and hopes of a nation will be on her when she represent her country and county in Miss Universe 2010 in Las Vegas, USA on August 23rd, 2010.
This year looks like our best chance ever to take home this coveted title and Tipperary and the Irish Nation wish her every success. We think the “Luck of the Irish” won’t be necessary in this particular case.
As already stated in a previous article when it comes to ladies and gents fashion, the choice available from the numerous clothing outlets in Thurles, seriously outshine all other towns in County Tipperary and surrounding areas.
This week we received numerous emails complaining about the non-availability of tickets to the 2009 Thurles Chamber Fashion Show. Thurles Chamber send their apologies to you lovely ladies who were disappointed, but space at the event was limited strictly to 300 seats.
To take the sting out of your disappointment here is just a small excerpt from that fabulous nights entertainment, courtesy of Thurles Chamber. So, sit back and enjoy the Fashion Show in High-Definition!
If you see something you like, (No I am not referring to the very beautiful and very professional models provided by the Holman Lee Agency, Limerick) just hop on the bike into Thurles.
Thurles town’s secret to finding exactly what you are looking for, be it something for a wedding, party, or just some trendy garment, guaranteed to attract attention at your favourite Nightclub, is the large number of clothing and footwear outlets available in close proximity within the town, plus the wide range of garments on offer to suit all age groups and all pockets.
Remember all of the clothing and footwear shown on this High Definition clip can be obtained from one of these stores;
Note: The professional ‘Make-Up’ and ‘Hair Styles’ for the evenings performance were provided by Natasha Doyle of “Boutique Salon” situated in Parnell Street, Thurles.
Finally a special thanks to A. Strapp (Chamber President) PJ. Shanahan, K. Moloney, A. Broderick and Natasha Doyle for making the evening such a pleasant one for all who attended.
It’s the best community event of the season in Thurles and an occasion when all Tipperary females don that bit of ‘slap’ and their best frocks, to relax and study what’s new in the latest Autumn and Spring fashion lines from various collections currently available in Thurles. It’s an ‘all under one roof event’, with many side shows including jewellery, footwear and health food and of course its the perfect time of year to browse for ideas, with Christmas just 12 weeks away, on the horizon.
This community event, which will open with a wine and cheese reception, is organised annually by Thurles Chamber and will be staged on Thursday next October 1st.
The event moves this year to the Anner Hotel, Dublin Road, Thurles, thanks to the generosity of the hotels proprietor Mr Frank Mulcahy.
The very lovely Celia Holman Lee (RTE fame) will once again act as hostess for the evening and provide models from her very professional Holman Lee Modelling Agency, to exhibit the full garment array entered for viewing.
The Make-Up artist and Hair Stylist for the evenings performance will be provided by Natasha Doyle of “Boutique Salon” situated in Parnell Street, Thurles.
Miss Michelle Heffernan, winner of this years ” Pride of Tipperary 2009″ competition, will also be on hand to assist in finding the evenings ‘Best Dressed Lady’ and this award brings with it as usual a much coveted prize.
