Miss Zimdiamond took place a few nights ago in the United Kingdom and the rep issued this press release so let me quit playing with the scissors and cut the chase...
Its been a few days since we had the Grande Finale of Miss Zim Diamond 2011 and I still can not believe that it has come and is done after a whole year of plugging Miss Zim Diamond, the final took place and oh what a memorable event. I feel so humbled by all the people who came out to support us & just the great feeling of community and support that filtered through the room. It was great to feel the love and support from the audience and for that I thank you. Many have rated the show a success and I believe with out the support of the people it could never have gone as well as it did. We can only improve next year!
