S'pore beauty wins

SINGAPORE air stewardess Lilian Lee has clinched the Miss Intercontinental Asia Pacific title at the 37th Miss Intercontinental Pageant held in Zarbse, Poland, last Saturday.

The 24-year-old competed with 56 beauties from all over the world. Colombia's Cristina Carmago, 23, was the overall winner, taking the Miss Intercontinental title.

Local pageant organiser iGlamour Singapore helped Lee to prepare for the pageant and her gowns were sponsored by boutique Blum & Co.

The former Singapore Polytechnic student was chosen as the Singapore representative after winning the Miss Singapore Sweetheart pageant here.

She told online portal Stomp: 'When you're there, they don't call you by your name but by your country's name. So it was an extremely proud moment for me when they called for 'Miss Singapore' in front of an international audience.'

The pageant started in 1971 on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean as a way to attract tourists. It was held there for 10 years and has since been held in different countries each year, says the organiser, World Beauty Organization.
