Dalisa Johnston Wins “Miss Internet Sensation”
Bermuda nursing student Dalisa Johnston was named “Miss Internet Sensation” in a recent on-line beauty competition, after her photo gained hundreds more “Likes” on Facebook then those of other entrants.
The Internet voting was part of the Miss Island Pageant, which is being hosted by the Barry University Caribbean Student Union.
The Miami university’s pageant included 12 contestants representing the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago, the Turks & Caicos and the US Virgin Islands. Miss Dominican Republic, Stephanie Hernandez, won the overall event.
Ms Johnston didn’t just win the online voting portion of the pageant — she received hundreds more votes then most the other competitors combined.
With most the competitors from other islands getting under 50 “Likes” on their photo, Bermudian Facebookers came in strong and propelled Ms Johnston’s photo to almost 600 “Likes.”
The 19-year-old is attending Barry University in Miami studying nursing.
Ms Johnston entered the competition to try and help promote the island, saying: “Sharing these little pieces of Bermuda will make a difference to everyone in attendance learning in a fun way. Bermuda is deep within my heart it’s time to share them with the world.”
