“My parents told me that if I would be able to follow what she does, there would be no problem with me joining the career,” said one of Miss Teen contestants, Shira Banda, a form three pupil at Mulunguzi Secondary School.
Another model, Chisomo Masinja, who doubles as the reigning Miss Valentine and Miss Chilomoni respectively, concurred with Shira that the Malawi News Model has a huge following among the teenage girls.
“It’s high time Malawians started taking modelling seriously. Faith has been a living example, she is active in both social and charitable activities,” said the form four student at Blantyre Institute of Management (BIM).
During the beauty pageant, Rose Useni (17) was crowned Miss Teen 2009. Faith Wotchi (14) and Madalitso Banda (16) emerged first and second princess respectively.
“I promise to tread in the footsteps of Malawi News Model, she has been an inspiration to me to reach this height,” said Rose, who is also the reigning Miss Balaka.
In an interview, Chibale promised to maintain her good reputation and embark on various projects.
“I still have a lot of projects to achieve, if money is available, including uplifting the welfare of street kids in the country. Malawi News alone has done a lot and I expect well wishers to assist the projects that will benefit the street children and orphans, “said Chibale.
Since she took over the crown in February this year, Chibale has been engaging herself in various aspects of both social and charitable activities.
The same month, she took over the office; she participated in ads like beauty product

Iran Police Move Into Fashion Business
It is the first time live models have been allowed to appear in a fashion show in post-revolutionary Iran. The only unusual aspect is that they are all wearing Islamic dress; including some draped from head to toe in the all enveloping chador. It's part of a new drive to give women more attractive choices of Islamic dress that allow them to express their individuality, while remaining within the letter of the law. Not everyone in the all female audience was happy.
"I don't think ordinary people will like this show because everything comes from Arab culture," complains Faranak who says she wants something more Iranian and indigenous. Her friend agrees: "Here we didn't see anything interesting - in terms of colours and designs we have much better stuff; just look on the streets of Tehran they're wearing much better clothes". 'Western dolls' Many of the women on the streets of Tehran do indeed look more like Western fashion models than the models on the catwalk. In skimpy tight overcoats and high heeled shoes and token headscarves perched on the back of their dyed hair, they are what the authorities call "western dolls". Many young model born after the revolution do not seem to have accepted the official idea of Islamic dress. Conservative MP Rafat Bayat, who always wears a black chador, believes the problem is the state never educated young people properly.
"The generation born after the revolution has grown up in families that do not believe in these principles and they are estranged from these laws," she says. "We thought there would be no problem because we had an Islamic Republic and we thought everyone knew the constitution," says Mrs Bayat with regret. According to the law, a fashion woman who does not cover her hair and body in public can be fined or imprisoned for up to two months. But there are hundreds of shops throughout North Tehran selling glamorous strapless dresses and low-cut, beaded tops for women to wear at parties. Source : news.bbc.co.uk
Lingerie Model Reveals She Was Once A Man
London, July 12 (ANI): With her striking looks, statuesque size ten figure and 34DD boobs, lingerie model Lisa Du Preez is certainly a woman to die for, but even after weeks of dating her, her boyfriend didn't come to know that she was once a man.
Brunette Lisa, 35, has now come out in open to admit that ten years ago she was a bloke called Louis.
And her surgical sex-swap transformation has shown such good results that her electrician fiance didn't know the truth until she rang him and confessed.
"I let people think I was a natural-born woman for a long while and had a great time seeing how many men I could pull and get away with it," News of the World quoted Lisa as saying.
She added: "But now I'm ready to let the world know who I really am. I want people to know that transvestites and transsexuals aren't all ugly freaks."
Lisa has an online lingerie shop liselou.com and her glam pictures have been used on dating websites, nightclub posters and adverts for contact lenses.
"But actually becoming a beauty woman was hell. On a scale of one to ten, the pain was a ten. I had to go on morphine to cope," she admitted.
"Obviously I can't have kids, but when people say I don't know what childbirth feels like, I say I DO! It was agony. But now I look like this I have absolutely no regrets," she said.
Lisa went for the sex-change operation only after meeting a transvestite.
And in 1999, after living as a woman full-time for two years, Lisa - from Enfield, Middlesex - had the surgery that finally allowed her to make love as a woman.
"It was amazing. I did have orgasms as a man but they're better as a woman," she said.
"When I met my fiance John Ward in a pub a year ago we hit it off right away but I didn't tell him about the surgery.
"We dated for a few weeks, kissing and cuddling, and then it got to the stage where I knew I had to tell him.

"The show went so well that I will be hosting a second one in November or December for fall and winter stock." Following Herb N'Wear show, Anna Palumbo, owner and operator of Jipsi Clothing Movement (formally Trendsetters Consignment), held their fashion show. "It was great too," Goulet commented.
