Elena Semikina Wins Miss Universe Canada 2010 [Gallery]

We would like to congratulate ourselves on a job well done on having the foresight to pick Elena Semikina as a serious contender in this year’s Miss Universe Canada pageant… Oh, and we’d like to congratulate her as well for winning. That’s equally as important.

Elena, seen here receiving the crown from Mariana Valente, will now represent Canada in L’Oreal commercials internationally in a number of appearances and eventually the Miss Universe pageant. Notable mention of course goes to the runner up, Aleksandra Malkin and the other top finishing finalists seen above, Neda Derakhshanfar, Zahra Al-Aubiydy, and Ashley CallingBull (yeah we called that one too). Our girl Sandra Kirilovic finished in the top 15, and we’re insanely proud of her as well. With a lot of great competition this year in the national pageant, we now look on towards the few world pageants that are left before the big show: The 2010 Miss Universe pageant on August 23rd. Once again, we’d like to wish Elena the best of luck on the international stage, and we hope she brings home the big one! Oh yeah, she’s a York U student too. No big deal. The Lions finally won something. It happens.

A special thanks to Sophie Froment for getting naked and bringing the MUC pageant back to the national/international stage. She got more television/media coverage than the entire pageant put together. One day (hopefully next year) Canadians will start taking Canadians seriously, and national events like this one will be broadcast as such… or even broadcast locally (Rogers Cable? A-Channel? What did they even AIR that night?).

At least we can all have a laugh at how short Rick Campanelli is next to Elena!
