Wow this will be the last issue of me being Ms. Diamond UK I can’t believe my reign is coming to an end! As most of you know my platform is cancer awareness and this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I have decided to turn this month’s issue pink and share lots of Breast Cancer Facts and stories.
Much love Charlotte Ms Diamond U.K.
Happy Issue 22 everyone! Our Breast Cancer Awareness Special!
So, I compete in Miss Diamond UK 2022 next weekend, and I can’t believe how quickly finals have come around. I have conquered my stage nerves by modelling for bridal shops at the South West Wedding Showcase at the Bath & West Showground and it was SO good to be back on a stage again. I can’t wait to show you all I’ve got next weekend and hopefully (fingers crossed!) come home with the Curve Category title and a trip to Internationals in Las Vegas
This time I’m also thinking about all of my Diamond Queens who only have one week left to reign before they hand over and boy those Queens make me proud to be a Diamond. They are all phenomenal ladies and deserve all the recognition they get. Anyway, see you on the other side!!
and Light, Lyndsay
Hi everyone and welcome to our October edition Issue 22!
I would just like to take this opportunity, as always, to thank you all for your continued support. Wow! Again, what an incredible few weeks we have had in pageant land. I have enjoyed watching so many of my amazing friends compete and you have all been incredible! Not long until Diamond UK finals now!
Wow! We have suddenly come to the end of October, which means I am heading off to Leeds in a couple of days for finals! All I would like to say is a huge congratulations to all the newly crowned Queens this month and thank you for everyone’s support of my journey to finals. Together we have been raising money for Alzheimer’s, Coppafeel and Samaritans.
Hi guys!
What an amazing month for pageantry! Congratulations to all the newly crowned Queens. I can’t wait to watch your journeys!
I am also so excited to be back in pageant land soon to watch the Miss Diamond UK finals and see our beautiful editor, Charlotte, hand her title over.
My name is Robin Torres, I am 26, and I am Miss Missouri Earth USA 2022.
I feel like all good stories always start with a friend. My best friend had just begun pageants and was really learning exactly what pageants had to offer. As an enneagram 3, I naturally love to be an overachiever. The more I began to speak to her about my passions and life goals, she really zoned in on me needing to just open my mind up to see what pageants were all about. At that moment I thought to myself, I am a wrestling coach and don't do pageants. But I decided to take one Saturday to watch a few Miss USA past pageants and see what it could offer. I remember hearing Anea Garcia, Miss Rhode Island USA's story and thinking her story reminded me of my struggles and the adversities I faced growing up. Right there I knew pageants were past surface level and was ready to share my story too.
Have you competed before? If so, can you tell us about your journey?
I started my journey actually not too long ago, in 2021 with the Miss USA system. After competing twice in Miss Missouri USA, I decided to branch out and try the Miss Earth system. Competing at Miss Missouri Earth was my third pageant ever, and I was crowned on August 13th, 2022, in Louisville, KY.
The Miss Earth system caught my eye because it truly embodies diversity and inclusivity. When I first started my journey, I actually debated between the Earth system and the USA system. Since I am 26, I wanted to make sure I ended my pageant journey with no regrets. Knowing the Miss Earth system has been on the forefront of creating a trailblazing pageant journey for all, and shifting the mold and standard for titleholders, I wanted to be a part of something that great.
The biggest thing that pageants have taught me is that we are so much more valuable than we give ourselves credit for. In everyday life it's easy to say, "Am I worthy enough?" or "Do I deserve this?". However, when you start pageants, you really have to get comfortable with knowing your story, who you are, and what you have to offer. The woman who started pageants is not the woman with the crown today. There's been so much growth alone, in just recognizing that I am this successful woman with something to offer the world.
My platform is called The Treasured Program. It focuses on assisting first generation college freshmen through their college journeys, by pairing them with like mentors ensuring higher retention rates and financial literacy. This platform became big on my heart during the pandemic, when I housed two collegiate athletes who didn't know where they would go with their university closing. They were stuck with trying to decide between paying for school and paying for the cost of living. It brought me back to when I was in college and was forced to make the same decision. Growing up as the oldest of nine, my family didn't have expendable income and so I wasn't able to afford both college and my regular cost of living all at once. So that summer both of those athletes lived with me, with only one guideline: I will pay for everyday living costs (food, housing, etc.), but you must work to pay off school. It made me realize that there are so many other first generation college students who are facing the same adversities. With The Treasured Program, those students will have a mentor to look towards that can help them with those steps that will lead to graduation.
Miss Earth is one title I am so excited to have the opportunity to hold. It truly would be an amazing endeavor. It would allow me to not only make an impact on my state, but implement change across our nation, across the board.
Growing up and never seeing or hearing women with my story, this would be a win for not just 10 year old Robin, but all the other girls who have felt that way before. As a product of divorced parents, a survivor of physical/sexual abuse and attempted suicide, a woman apart of the LGBTQ2+ community, a first generation high school graduate and college student, and a female wrestling coach, I feel like I've been a case of "possible statistics" all my life. I want to ensure that girls, boys, men and women know that the adversities don't have to define you. They can always be the stories leading to your greatness.
What’s the best advice you have for fellow pageant queens/finalists?
Everyone says this but being yourself is the best thing you can do. Being yourself and KNOWING yourself, is going to be what separates you from everyone else, because no one else has your perspective and insight. Taking that time to truly recognize your story, and your why behind it all is so crucial.
What have you been doing in the run up to your pageant final?
I was one of the last state pageants, so I really hit the ground running. I've been really working in my community, and with my overall state. I've been able to work alongside high schools, and in the small towns of Missouri and it's been amazing. Also, organizing my reign has definitely been a huge part of being a titleholder. Organization as a titleholder is SO IMPORTANT. When I don't have my crown and sash on, I am coaching wrestling, and helping veterans on their path to home ownership so I truly believe an organized queen is an accomplished one. I've also been working with my coaches, who are amazing, with getting to the smaller details before Miss Earth USA to make sure I'm ready for Florida!
Recently, I visited the town of Augusta, Missouri for their Harvest Festival and it was such an amazing day. The town was so warm and welcoming. I had the privilege of helping with the children's events, joining in the parade, and got to tour the beautiful town and spend dinner at their Harvest Dinner as well. It felt so surreal because I was able to share my story, and the people of Augusta were so supportive. Small towns are like families, and I am so grateful I got to be a part of the experience.
I view being a good pageant role model like that of being a good big sister. Being authentic, supportive, positive, and uplifting can go such a long way. It's also being transparent and honest, social media creates highlights, and as a titleholder it's very important to show the world that everyone can have bad days. The last thing I would say is being actionable, doing for your community and those around you.
Swimsuit is so fun and definitely my favorite! It's very sassy and has always allowed me to show my personality. I think it goes farther than the swimsuit itself, getting up there takes so much inner work and confidence to be comfortable on stage. It's why I've come to love it so much.
Making a playlist is my immediate go to! Like when I was wrestling in college, fun music has always been able to change my mood instantly and make me more excited than nervous. I'm also an extrovert so I get to shake it out when I talk to people. Being in the moment vs. in my head is always the best route to go.

Cancer has had a huge impact on my family with us losing my four grandparents to it and my husband’s grandad. We have witnessed different aggressions if the disease and the effect of treatments. I'm lucky to be a survivor of cancer and my incredible mom is five years in remission with hers.
Breast cancer is one of those that's had an impact on my family, so I'm honoured to be involved in this campaign. My mom had a breast cancer scare and had her lump removed. Her care was under Ian Patterson who has been jailed due to his malpractice as a breast surgeon. We are still unsure of the true diagnosis of my mom's breast lump however she did later get lymphoma (a form of cancer) and they think it could be linked.
It's extremely important to check for lumps or changes to your breasts as early detection of cancer can save lives.
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as most of you know my platform is Cancer Awareness and end of life Care due to losing four grandparents to cancer and two other family men being cancer survivors.
I myself had a cancer scare a few years ago when I found a lump in my breast, the next day I rang my GP and they got me in for an appointment straight away, my GP could also feel a lump, so they referred me to the breast clinic where I gas an ultrasound scan luckily it was nothing serious, but I always check my breasts each month for any changes. To help raise awareness and funds for cancer and cancer charities I have taken part in a number of Race for Life’s and other fun runs. I’ve also created a number of online campaigns and videos to highlight cancer and its effects. I always say know your body and if something isn’t right for you then see your GP.
During lockdown I completed a Level 2 course in Cancer Awareness and a Level 2 course in End of Life Care to help understand my platform more.
Through my magazine, I fundraise for Coppafeel which offer lots of tips and advice about breast cancer.
My cancer story began back in January 2019, aged 48. I started having problems with loose bowels, pain in my rectum and bloated tummy, and with constant pain in my tummy. I was also bleeding from the back passage and was getting very worried and upset. I kept going backwards and forwards to the GP, first diagnosed with piles, then IBS and then Crohn’s. I shared my concern of having a family history of bowel cancer and my doctor reassured me that I was too young to get bowel cancer. In March 2019, a locum Doctor examined my tummy and gave me a letter to go straight up the hospital. I caught the bus to Solihull hospital. I had a very intrusive biopsy up the back passage. I was told it could be either a benign tumour or the dreaded C word, which back then was cancer, long before we had heard of covid 19. In April 2019, I had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with Stage 3 Bowel Cancer and would need radiotherapy, surgery, a colostomy bag for life and chemotherapy. As you can imagine myself, my family, friends, university lecturers and fellow students and my church community were in deep shock and very upset. So getting cancer in the space of 4 years after my full hysterectomy, because of benign tumours and only after 2 years since being diagnosed with the first of my benign brain tumours was sheer bad luck and so unfair. When I got diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. I was halfway through my sociology degree at Coventry University, but I was determined to finish my degree no matter what, because I wanted to go onto broadcasting and journalism college. My radiotherapy was for 6 weeks, during the summer of 2019, at Queen Elizabeth hospital, Birmingham. I shared the waiting room with breast cancer patients. And again, in the first six months of 2020, I shared the chemotherapy ward, with breast cancer patients. They were very brave, beautiful and bold women. We all got along famously and became friends. It did upset me that they had no hair, eyebrows or eyelashes because of their chemotherapy. I used to put all my very long mid brown hair back in a bun, and wear no makeup, with my baggy beige cardigan, top and jeans. I didn’t want to highlight that I still had my hair, eyebrows, eyelashes. I felt very guilty about this, because with bowel cancer treatments you don’t lose these. I was also very self conscious of having breasts too, because of my bowel cancer it didn’t affect my boobs. It was heart breaking knowing that some breast cancer patients were never going to get better, and sadly passed over. Whereas some had a recurrence of breast cancer, or it had spread to other parts of their body. With many women losing one or both breasts, which is very heart breaking for any woman. I had a stoma for my colostomy bags, a Barbie Butt and a deep long tummy scar, starting from my belly button, with my belly button missing, and an ugly scar down to pubic area. Mine wasn’t on show, so no one knows that I had cancer. But for a breast cancer woman, with no breasts, or only one breast that must be very tough going for them, affecting their femininity and on so many emotional, mental and physical levels too. I do remember both on the radiotherapy ward and chemotherapy unit, the sense of kindness, love and respect for each other, which was overwhelming at times. The sisterhood of being in it together and the friendships we made, remain with me forever. The girly chats about anything and everything and the laughs we all had; I can still replay in my mind over again. We used to love to sing and dance along to the radio, and especially anything by ABBA, Take That, Kylie Minogue or Robbie Williams. Such very fond memories, of finding strength and solace in each other during our darkest days. When a big gentle hug, or a touch of a hand from one cancer patient to another before covid meant the world to me, and I am sure it meant a lot my cancer sisters too
In memory of my radiotherapy buddy Martine, my chemotherapy chum Janine, and my cancer pen pal Cathie. Three shine bright like diamond stars in the sky.

My name is Jade Dando and I’m your UK’s National Miss Wiltshire and for the last 4 years, I have dedicated my time to my platform of Breast Cancer Awareness. In 2018 I became a Uni Boob Team leader for Coppafeel at my university, where I dedicated a year on campus to educate people on the importance of Boob and pec checking among all genders. When I graduated, I knew it was something I wanted to continue to do, which is why I introduced it as my Pageant platform.
Breast Cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in the UK and the most common cancer in the world, with 1 women being diagnosed every 10 minutes in the UK. Early detection increases your chance of survival, so I knew I had to get the message out there. Over the last few years, I have introduced many different campaigns and projects to help raise awareness for this important cause. My TLC4BC campaign was originally launched back in 2020 and relaunched this October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is to promote the statistic that 1 woman is diagnosed every 10 minutes in the UK, which is around the same time it takes to do a face mask. During the 2020 lockdown, I discovered my own lump, which I went on to have removed. Although it was benign, in the time it was found to the time it was removed, it has grown from the size of a grape to the size of a golf ball. This inspired me to launch my Boob Chats with Jade podcast where I speak to people who have been affected by breast cancer in some way. I also shared my own full story here. I then went on to launch my “I check because” campaign the following Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast Cancer has several different charities within the UK and there have been 2 I have worked particularly close with. Against Breast Cancer run a bra collection campaign which doesn’t only give bras a second lease of life but also helps raises vital funds for research. In January 2022, I sent away 850 bras that I had collected for this cause. This October I have relaunched this collection and am currently on track to collect a further 500. The charity I work particularly close with is Coppafeel. This charity has had a special place in my heart since I discovered them 10 years ago. This charity encouraged me to start checking, which lead me to find my lump. Since my Uni Boob Team Leader experience, I have raised over £2000 for Coppafeel with over £1000 of this being raised this October alone.
My charity pageant Miss Sparkling Beauty announced its official charity as Coppafeel back in 2021 and in the 2022 final, we raised over £1000. I have several more charity events planned for my upcoming year so make sure to watch this space. Checking your chest should be part of your regular routine as knowing your body will make it easier to know when something changes. If you do find something that isn’t usual for you, please speak to your GP. Although October is Breast Cancer awareness month, the awareness and charity work doesn’t end here. I can confidently say I will speak about boobs for as long as I need to. To make sure people are checking themselves.
If you would like to take part in any of my projects, please let me know. This October I encourage you to start checking, as early detection could save your life.
In May my bra bin arrived for against Breast cancer, collecting peoples u wanted bras helps raise vital funds and can help underdeveloped countries such as Africa, with the textile and recycling partners these bras get given a new lease of life in other countries where bras remain too expensive to buy.
I am delighted to say I had 151 donated and I boxed them up last week and had them collected, I already have a few more starting off the next collection, thank you to everyone who donated, this will be a ongoing donation Bra bin if you have any please drop me a message.

Hello, my name is Megan, I am 23 years old, and I am your current Miss Regal World. I was born and raised on St Helena, a remote volcanic outpost in the South Atlantic Ocean. I started pageantry two years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since!
Because of pageantry I had the opportunity to meet new people and gain confidence. I am very passionate about helping others and I currently sponsor a little girl in The Gambia, West Africa. Helping others, especially those who are less fortunate than yourself, can help to put things into perspective.
I am currently collecting toys, clothing and stationery for the children in Uganda. Many children do not have the privilege to have nice things and I want to do something special for them. Christmas is approaching us very soon but even though times are tough right now, I want to at least make this Christmas special for the children. I want them to experience the joy of Christmas and to see those happy smiles.
I am honoured to be your Miss Regal World 22/33, love Megan xx

It is a great honour to have earned this title. Over the past 10+ years I have been modelling which led to my interest in competing in pageants. Competing in pageants however is very different from modelling. I am able to have a platform and advocate for my personal interests.
After earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing I have made it a goal of mine to use my platform to help others in any way I can. Over the years, I have been able to work in a care centre helping elderly residents. The pandemic helped me to learn how much of a difference I am truly making just by following my goals and passion. With my new title I will continue to impact others on my journey and make sure to do all that I can to help others along the way.

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.
