Hello world!!!

Hope you and yours are doing well. I'm doing fantastic, thanks to the Almighty. One of the amazing things about the world of pageantry is that there are a lot of titleholders and pageant systems out there to learn from around the world, it all depends on what traits and characteristics you're looking for out there because there's a role model Queen doing or an organization supporting your kind of platform! One of the most famous pageants in the world is the Miss World Pageant. The upcoming 64th edition of Miss World will be held this year on December 14, 2014 at ExCeL London in London, United Kingdom. Miss World 2013 Megan Young from the Philippines will be crowning her successor.
