I am an avid Barbie collector with almost 300 in my collection, and many of these were very recognizable. Especially Le Papion. I was very impressed with this runway. Missed AGS, and Michelle. One of my fave openings to date.
Jazell is a STAR - a real beauty, a class act and amazingly talented - the legs are a bit skinny but still work - she everything Yuni wanted to be but wasn't.
I'm definitely with you on your comment! I feel like the majority take it over the top vs making it realistic! A lot should have saved there money! This shi_ ain't cheap! I feel like the majority take it over the top vs making it realistic! Too much hair , too much of A lot kinda takes away and the actual talent of impersonation, wanna be a transee totally different from the art! Adrian from the great state of North Carolina! Peace my friends!
Despite i loooove JBR, this was not one of my favs opening. Mimi, Tasha, Mokha and Kelly Lauren looked gorgeous, Erika Norell and Chanel Dupree are very missed.
meh... It was ok, not Grand like it usually is...and What happened to the rest of the formers, like Erica Norell, Monica Munroe, Yoshiko, Michelle Dupree, etc... Something is missing from Continental...
I believe Michelle's kids have school around this time so she was unable to attend. Monica is retired, not sure about the others. I'm sure the flight to and from Hawaii is expensive for Yoshiko though
Mason Garett...lmao!!! That is your 'Opinion'. Don't get pissy wissy when someone else does not agree with you...GROW UP!!! It was a Mediocre opening! Not anywhere near the previous openings the Continental pageant always had. If you have any of the dvds of past winners watch tgem and you'll know...
I can get whatever I want to with a WRONG OPINION! Just know that Jazell Barbie Royale is one of the most beautiful and talented Miss Continentals that has ever graced that Continental stage!
not even close to being the best opening in continental history the ones sayin that must be really young or just new to the pageant ... learn your history look at some tapes from the past ... ijs ... it was cute tho
SDS 4Life no shade i was rather bored ... i was there when Monica Monroe hatched out the egg for her opening and the formers came thru Tandi, Tiffany ...ijs
Irv Hotti Oh Go ahead and Throw shade, its the truth anyway! I've never been to a continental pageant but i own many tapes! It was a little boring and too simple and many former miss continental where not there! I think the best part was when Tommy Ross came out!
Totally agree with Irv Hotti... It wasn't as "Grand" as the past openings of the past winners, no offense to Jazelle Royale... It could've been a lot more "Outstanding", it was mediocre.
Most people work their up to Continental. She is young, and talented. But what do you do after Continental? do you work your way down? Most Continental Queens have a long hard way to the top! What if she ran for a Miss Florida, and doesn't win? Queens are messy! She will be the butt of all jokes. I am proud of her, but feel sorry for her too! Congratulations?
+Mason Garett Foot in mouth.... no ............... It's gonna keep happening. It's gonna keep happening. Time for a 9-5 Monday-Friday job. Depression..... She needs really needs friends
well wrong… she was crowned the first black miss international queen back in 2019. the most prestigious pageant in international trans pageantry. its like the miss universe of trans pageantty

Everything about this was beautiful. Thanks👍
I dont care what anyone says..........CHILI PEPPER is always my favorite to watch! She's still here after all those years.
love love love this....
This was one of the most entertaining openings in Continental history! Thank you for posting it for the people that weren't there to see it in person!
Enjoyed
I just love it so glad for dwess Productions
Maya Douglas, Kelly Lauren, Mini Marks and Tasha Long were all beautiful and tore up the stage with beauty!
John Maldonado Thank you for telling me about your encounter with Ms Douglas...she is an ageless beauty!
I, too, was excited to see Mimi & Maya: both looking lovely! I knew them from back in the late ‘80’s at the Baton (& outside of the club as well).
The first time I seen Maya it was in the early 90's. She was soo stunning. Her and Jasmine Bonet are real women! Jasmine is my favorite!
SuperHurricane75 Agreed! Maya Douglas and Jasmine Bonet are the closest any queen can get for looking like biological women!
Maya is truly Beautiful along with Chanel Duppre i would have to say!
Jazell is a STAR - a real beauty, a class act and amazingly talented - the legs are a bit skinny but still work - she everything Yuni wanted to be but wasn't.
damm you move fast thank you!!!!...
yas, brooke lynne, sasha! danielle hunter! mimi!
I wonder what happened to Latina Sis..Erika and Channel and others that didn't go that year🤔🤔🤔🤔
probably didn’t work with their schedule. or didnt have enough funds for a new costume
GReat opening, would LOVE to see crowning moment & her stepdown!❤
Its nice that the nursing home is letting them out for a fun night. I hope no one breaks a hip...lmao
Loved this!!
How is Queens today tell me their expertise in plastic surgery. The class talent and resolve you rarely see.
Awesome opening number! I know its hard to pick a fav Madonna song but Dress you up its defenetly mine!
SDS 4Life Mine also!
Mocha gettin up there. Granny looks a little sucked and tucked...lol

I am having a gay heart attack watching this.

In my opinion this was the best opening ever at Continental
I don't see Barbie I see more of presentation category in a pageant. Where is Barbie?
Brooke Lynn Hytes is out of this league. No idea how she became Continental.
her package was the best that year with an impeccable talent
I am so sorry but that music does not match the person performing that opening. The Gown and the change not good. sorry.

Melo and Mika LIES! It was very grand to me!

Irv Hotti That is so True!! I have several tapes of Continental and Their Openings are phenomenal!!!!
SDS 4Life no shade i was rather bored ... i was there when Monica Monroe hatched out the egg for her opening and the formers came thru Tandi, Tiffany ...ijs

With that beeing said...Im happy and glad Shantell Won!!

SuperHurricane75 You are so right...she did lose Miss Florida like you surmised!
+Mason Garett get out! I have been busy to know that.
SuperHurricane75 They say a manly queen from Jacksonville won over Jazell and the title was given to her!
+Mason Garett Foot in mouth.... no ............... It's gonna keep happening. It's gonna keep happening. Time for a 9-5 Monday-Friday job. Depression..... She needs really needs friends
well wrong… she was crowned the first black miss international queen back in 2019. the most prestigious pageant in international trans pageantry. its like the miss universe of trans pageantty
they should have let MIMI MARKS open with a MADONNA NUMBER.
Those people opening the doors are picking them up off the ground in stead of sliding them open . NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL.
I'm sorry this was painful to watch. There have been better openings than this.
And what is going on with Mokha????
All that black market surgery is catching up with her.....
