These Contestants nailed it at the Miss Nicaragua 2023 Official Presentation Night
Yesterday, Friday, June 9, the candidates for the Miss Nicaragua 2023 pageant were announced to the media and all the fans, although all Nicaraguans already knew who the 10 women who compete for the crown and the right to represent this beautiful Central American country in the next edition of Miss Universe were, since social networks leave nothing to the imagination.
I am not going to stop to comment on the scenery, since it was nothing special. It seems to me that this is the third year in a row that we've seen tacky white curtains as the main stage decoration, but it didn't look as bad as many thought. I cannot advance in my analysis, without commenting on the costumes worn by the candidates at the opening segment, what beauty of costumes, I loved them! I loved the colors, design, and silhouette it made for the contestants and, it was fascinating to see the embroidery technique and the traditional Nicaraguan openwork in them. The designer Bayron Mendieta just nailed it, Congratulations!
What is necessary to tell you, is the quality of the presenters that the event had, which lasted a little over an hour; Two finalists from the last edition took the stage again, but this time to share their talent as hostesses, and they did it very well: Diana Navarro and Katherine Burgos. Diana felt more natural in her role, and I liked that she took the lead. Katherine looked a little nervous and at times she looked confused and a bit lost, but honestly, they are two of the best presenters that have been there in years. The role suited them very well; from the image, the pose, and the tone of their voices. I hope many doors open for both of them on national television after such a good job.
Now, let's talk about the best during the official presentation Night. You already know that I normally prepare a top 5, but as Diana said yesterday, the organization plans to choose 6 finalists, so I present below the 6 candidates who did best during the official presentation.
6. Iris Ruiz: She is the representative of the Department of Leon. She has a beautiful face and although her speech is not bad, she needs to project more joy and charisma when speaking. It seems to me that, in general terms, she was one of the candidates who stood out the most, but I cannot ignore the fact that she does not convey elegance and lacks poise, but nothing that a good catwalk and stage projection classes cannot solve.

5. Waymara Antonio: She is the representative of the Autonomous Region of the North Caribbean (City of Puerto Cabezas). She seemed to be one of the best in the group, even though the look that the organization decided on is not the most appropriate for her, a darker shade of hair is urgently needed to make her look more natural. Although her speech is good, she lacks naturalness, but she is still one of the candidates who look good on stage.
4. Melissa Morales: She is the representative of the department of Jinotega (City of La Concordia), she has a very beautiful oratory and voice timbre; her image and her personality project a lot of naturalness and confidence. I see her standing out in the following activities of the competition because she seems very determined, but the catwalk and her scenic domain are something that she must work on urgently; she looked lost on the stage, and she didn't know how to handle her face. Her short hair makes her stand out, however, I think she would look much better in the beauty queen role with her long hair, to highlight the features of her face and soften her facial expressions a bit.
3. Daysi Velázquez: She is the representative of the Boaco Department (City of Santa Lucia) and is the first mother to participate in the contest. I loved her face, her elegance, and her demeanor. The sweetness and softness of her voice are her strong weapon because she captures and conquers the audience. She looked sober, fine, and well-focused, at all times. I can't stop mentioning that she has a beautiful face, she is very pretty.
2. Isabela Salgado: She is the representative of Chinandega. Isabela was like a fish in water, very confident, relaxed, and jovial; she transmitted a lot of joy and security. We know that it is her third time on that stage, and I was really surprised by her progress in oratory, she sounds more natural, better coordinated in her ideas, and with better pronunciation. I must confess that it seemed imprudent of her to appear for the third time without having overcome her weakness, but it's good that she did, her oratory is better than I imagined, without a doubt, Miss Charm was a great school for her.
1. Sheynnis Palacios: She is the representative of The Carazo Department, and she was the best of the night. She stands out for her height, her bearing, her poise, and her elegance; she is the complete package and her experience is her best weapon. Sheynnis has an excellent oratory.
