Nineteen-year-old Marjorie Ramirez did Philipsburg proud early Saturday with a win at the the first-ever St. Maarten Carnival District Queen pageant.
She faced five intense rounds of competition, and claimed titles for Best Speech and Best Interview.
Marjorie impressed from her opening presentation about town, praising the district’s history as a shopping, tourism and social capital.

First runner-up was Mary’s Fancy’s Bria Sorton, who claimed the Ms. Popularity title with an overwhelming 3,466 votes on the More Bacchanal popularity poll. Sixteen-year-old Bria, last year’s Teen Carnival Queen, brought the largest cheering section, and surprised many with her pan-playing skills in the talent segment.
Sucker Garden’s Amanda Rombley claimed the most titles: she got prizes for being Ms. Photogenic, best performance in evening wear and wearer of the Best Costume Design. She also finished as second runner-up.
Twenty-year-old Shanay Andrews claimed prizes for Best Talent – with her daring dance on a 20-foot-plus ladder.
Shanay also claimed the title for Best Costumed Performance for strutting in her Blue Tulip-inspired creative wear.
St. Peters’ representative Carmelita Richardson was named Ms. Amity by the other contestants.
