The curtain has come down at the 2011 Miss Atlantico Internacional pageant, but for South Africa's winning entry, Michelle Gildenhuys, it is only the start of a very exciting year ahead. She charmed the organizers and she charmed the judges, and when she travels to foreign countries as the guest of foreign pageants, she will undoubtedly charm them as well.
So far, Michelle is scheduled to make guest appearances at the Miss Tabasco International pageant in Mexico, and the Rey & Reina Belleza España pageant in Spain. The organizers have informed me that those are but two of the pageants at which our gorgeous Miss Atlantico Internacional will be the guest of honour and serve on the panel of judges. I will keep you updated as time passes.
Just to recap, here are a few images of Michelle's triumph at the 2011 Miss Atlantico Internacional pageant in Punta del Este, Uruguay on Saturday 12 February:
