MONTREAL (CP) — Alice Panikian of Toronto was selected Miss Universe Canada 2006, defeating 48 other hopefuls Tuesday night at the Montreal casino.

 

The 20-year-old York University student takes over the tiara from Natalie Glebova, who went on to win the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand last year.

“It’s surreal. I think I’m dreaming,” Panikian said, checking her pulse.

 

The judges rated the young women on poise, confidence, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty as they modelled in swimsuits and evening gowns and made impromptu speeches.

 

Glebova said Panikian, who also took the Miss Photogenic prize, will give Canada a strong candidate for the Miss Universe crown for a second year in a row.

 

“She’s gorgeous. Absolutely stunning,” the past queen said.

 

Three Quebecers were among the 10 finalists, but none made the top five.

 

The title of Miss Universe Canada allows the winner to travel the world in defence of a favourite cause. For Panikian, it will be HIV and AIDS prevention in Africa.

 

“(AIDS) is very preventable. With education we can save a lot of lives,” she said.

Alice Panikian is a student currently attending York University majoring in English. She was born in Bulgaria and came to Canada with her parents in 1990. On her spare time, Alice likes to model and enjoys writing, reading, travelling and staying active.

 

She would like a career as a Broadcast Journalist. She wants to be Miss Universe® Canada because of the opportunity to bring light to issues that are important to her such as poverty, Cancer research and AIDS education and prevention.

Is this true that she is only 1/4 Armenian?

 

In free countries, the beauties get the prize.

 

When I visited Yerevan, I saw many women walking on the streets who equalled this woman in beauty. The most beautiful one I saw was in Gyumri, a city in ruins.

 

I still can not understand why a woman of merely passable beauty won the prize as Miss Armenia.

 

 

 

great looking girl

only 1/4 Armenian, the rest Bulgarian.

 

this mean - Armenians start mixing NOW!
