Michael Cinco to Nova Stevens', MU Canada handlers, "NEXT TIME DON'T USE FILIPINO DESIGNERS."

There appears to be a disagreement between Nova Steven's, Miss Universe Canada 2020's team, and Michael Cinco. Both took to social media to air their complaints. Here's what we can learn from this interaction.

That in itself says a lot about him and his brand, after all, you gotta be “something” to be there in that area. Apart from that, his clientele in the Gulf is massive, he’s made dresses and wedding gowns for Sheikhas across GCC and he’s also always highlighted every Arab Fashion Week, (sometimes even more than Arab designers).

This just goes to show that gowns don’t matter, what matters is the way a girl carries herself. Adline gave the killer performance despite wearing the same decent gown. She made that average gown look so good and that’s all because of her performance. Imagine, if Adline were given amazing gowns, but she didn’t need one.

I don’t know M5 personally but I’ve met him once and we have common friends. He seem sweet, demure and soft spoken. Anyway, if you get free gowns- wear it, don’t wear it but don’t bad mouth the sponsor/designer. Period. Earlier today Nova went live on IG, and Mgmode commented something to the effect downplaying the drama and playing victim. I said “You and your big mouth are to blame.” They blocked me. Lol Nova didnt really apologize or cleared things up. To me it sounded like she probably want to blame the mgmode boys for talking too much but she couldn’t. She’s caught in the middle for sure. Anyway, I read M5 reached out to the guys of mgmode to talk to him but he felt ignored that’s why he decided to speak out. In the end, not a loss for M5. Definitely loss for MUC, free (gown) sponsorship is free and that a big help as we all know competing for MU is very expensive.

[@cruzianobarrymarborieyene92]

Miss Canada's attitude is like sour grapes! Just my opinion.. She's not like Zuzi our previous Miss Universe.. Miss Canada thought that she'll win the show cuz MANY MANY ppl were betting that Canada might take home the crown. But she was wrong... Why??? Cuz her attitude is like a sour lemon

@@astoldbychrisv9464 I've been hearing it on every pageant pages saying her closed door interviews must have been poor which is why she didn't place.

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

@@jenbui5304 This is second hand gossip, and alot of these pageant pages create rumors and try to pass them off as facts. Sure, she may have had a bad interview with the judges, but no credible sources are saying this. Here you come spreading rumors adding more fire to the fuel. It's the same thing where someone made an entire video stating that Miss Israel withdrew from the competition because of war, etc...when in reality she's of the Jewish faith and observe Sabbath, hence why she couldn't fully participate in preliminaries on Saturday evening. The internet is a very dangerous place that will cost a lot of people their life experiences. Anywho, I would like a member of the selection committee to confirm this rumor.

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

@Ash Mencia You and I both know how deep racism is integrated into society and everyday living. Those whom have never experienced an ounce of it will find ways to discredit and justify the injustices. Yes, ever since Nova has won Miss Canada, she has received an intense amount of racial comments for her skin and looks. Then to add fuel to the fire, when she spoke about BLM and posted screen shots of where an abundance of the negativity was coming from, the offenders tried to justify the hate and gloss over it by asking her to not only highlight them but everyone else involved. Two wrongs don't make a right. She and other black contestants that do not have the standard beauty looks are given such hard times for decisions made by others. To be honest, Miss Universe 2020 already shown us what direction they were headed in for a winner with the changes made. Most Latin judges are racist and bias when it comes to beauty competitions. I have no doubt that Nova was already eliminated from the running the minute she was crowned Miss Canada. She wasn't what one would call "the acceptable black person." I just want her to finish her reign and move on with her life. She accomplished one part of her goal and that's all that matters. Everyone else can sit and be salty.

[@laraganda572]

I was really stunned of the fact that they use gowns for FREE even from multiple designers. I thought joining Miss Universe will be very costly in terms of gowns.

[@DaniWalker]

Many contestants come from humble beginnings and wouldn’t be able to afford the gorgeous gowns we see at Miss Universe, that make the show so glamorous and incredible. Fortunately, there’s a lot of press surrounding Miss Universe so showcasing a gown on the Miss Universe stage is usually great press and will lead to future orders. The relationship between queens and sponsors is usually mutually beneficial. The queens have the press, and the designers offer their talents ❤️

[@karenbanogon3244]

"Free" means sponsorship. Not really free. The candidate does not pay the designer and the designer does not pay the candidate to showcase or model his gown. Both sides benefits, without monetary exchange. Now, if the candidate at the end decides not to wear the gown, she should return it or pay for it.

Michael Cinco doesn't have to be dragged into this pageant drama. He just is genuinely gracious enough to dress as many candidates as he possibly can. Knowing that he did all these with his own pocket says a lot about his kindness and abusing his kindness will only backfire. Many candidates can only dream of wearing a Michael Cinco gown for the pageant and Ms Canada had 2 from him, that is more than enough for her. The gowns doesn't make a queen anyway so...
