In Kaliningrad, the winner of the international contest "Mrs. Mira-2008" was announced. The diamond diadem of the winner went to the representative of Ukraine Natalia Shmarenkova.
The winner of the spectator sympathy prize - the amber crown - was "Mrs. Singapore" Colin Francisco-Mason.
As NTV writes, the new Mrs. Mira admitted to journalists: "I am 31 years old, but I still do not have children." For me, my children are the children of the whole world, I help all children and have long been charitable activities in different countries. the contest will open more opportunities now. "
The prize of audience sympathy following the results of the competition was awarded to "Mrs. Singapore" by Colin Francisco-Mason, who became the owner of the amber crown.
By tradition, the privilege to participate in the competition is granted only to married women over 18 years from all over the world. The main idea of this competition is to draw public attention to the importance of family values. According to the organizers, for Russia, where 2008 is declared "the year of the family," this is especially true.
Contestants from 40 countries of the world came to Kaliningrad this year. Among them, the majority are mothers who successfully combine work and family. Almost none of the contestants was engaged in the modeling business before, RIA Novosti notes.
Marinika Smirnova represented Russia at the competition. The Russian woman failed to repeat the success of her compatriot Sophia Arzhakovskaya, the ballerina, who in 2006 became "Mrs. Mira."
That year, the diamond crown almost went to the "Mississa Costa Rica" Andrea Bermudez Romero. However, at the last moment the organizers stated that "there was an error", and the winner was named "Mrs. Rossiya" by Sofya Arzhakovskaya.
