 Hooters Australia today confirmed Miss Hooters Australia
2008 Emma Caminiti from Hooters Parramatta will be representing Australia in
the 12th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant in Florida this July.
Caminiti, 20 from the Blue Mountains was crowned last Thursday night (5 June)
at the annual beauty and bikini Hooters Honey Contest 2008 Grand Final, having
competed in front of a 250 strong crowd at Hooters Parramatta. Over twenty Hooters
Girls competed in the three Hooters Honey Contest rounds held at Hooters Mermaid
Beach, Hooters Cronulla and Hooters Parramatta, all of whom were vying to win
the Miss Hooters Australia 2008 crown and the chance to represent Australia in
the international pageant. Natalye Cole of Hooters Mermaid Beach was crowned
Miss Hooters Queensland 2008.
Described by judges as having a "vivacious character and versatility" Caminiti
charmed the judging panel with her on "stage presence, confident answers
and great presentation" in all heats. The Hooters Honey Contest judging
panel consisted of representatives from Zoo Weekly, Ralph Magazine and Universal
Magazines. The Hooters Honey Contest 2008 featured the Hooters Girl uniform,
evening wear and bikini rounds as well as a charity auction with proceeds raised
benefiting The Children's Hospital at Westmead.
Caminiti will join more than 115 Hooters Girls from over 20 countries around
the world competing for the Miss Hooters International title and over USD $150,000
in cash and prizes, including their place in the annual swimsuit calendar. The
12th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant will be held at the Broward
Center for Performing Arts in Hollywood, Florida on Wednesday 8 July.
"I was absolutely shocked but extremely delighted to be chosen as Miss
Hooters Australia” says Caminiti “and I am privileged to be given
the opportunity to represent Hooters Australia in Florida, I hope I do a good
job representing the Australia and the other Hooters Girls".
"We're very excited to be sending Emma to represent us in the international
pageant. As one of our longest standing Hooters Girls as well as being a Hooters
Girl Trainer we're confident Emma is going to be a fantastic brand ambassador
for Hooters Australia" says Julia Bayley, Marketing Manager of Hooters
Restaurants Australia.
Hooters Cronulla, Hooters Mermaid Beach and Hooters Parramatta join more than
435 locations worldwide in over 24 international countries. Hooters Australia
is scheduled to open restaurants in Perth WA, Brisbane QLD and Auckland New Zealand
by the end of 2009.
