Hello Everyone and welcome to Issue 23!

Wow it’s been quite a month since the last issue, I handed over my Ms Diamond UK title at the end of October and since then I’ve been travelling first to Prague and then to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the F1. I’ve been having a bit of a pageant break and deciding whether to compete or not again in the future. The magazine will be continuing for now as I love sharing fellow pageant queens stories and the magazine has raised a huge amount for charity and I want to continue this whether I have a title or not.

Much Love Charlotte Lister

Miss Diamond Curve Wiltshire 2023

Hello and welcome to Issue 23!!

How is it the November issue already?! It only seems like a couple of months ago we were releasing the January 2022 issue. Last month I competed at the Miss Diamond UK finals. Although I didn’t place in my category, I was lucky enough to come away with the Miss Diamond Curve Talent 2022 title and Miss Personality for my category, so an improvement on last year! I’m also pleased to announce that I am your Miss Diamond Curve Wiltshire 2023!

We have some great new features this month, as well as your old favourites, so I hope you enjoy it. Love and light Lynz xxx

About our new chosen charity: Coppafeel

We are the first breast cancer charity in the UK to solely create awareness amongst young people, with the aim of instilling the knowledge and tools they need to get to know their bodies. We like to talk about a serious message in a light hearted way, empowering people to start healthy habits for life

We want everyone to have the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. Ideally, we want to live in a world where all breast cancers are diagnosed at the earliest stage possible, at which treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher.

Although our main focus is on breast cancer education, we also instigated the #RETHINKCANCER Campaign, as we strongly believe young people should be taught about all cancers and how to lead healthy lives from a young age.

To ensure all breast cancers are diagnosed early and correctly by…

• Encouraging you to check your boobs and pecs regularly from a young age.

• Educating you on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

• Empowering you to seek advice from a doctor if symptoms persist.
