A Carpenter Is Our Miss University... With the help of those Afterdark.ie boys Miss University 2011 was crowned last night in Dandelion Bar. And from the looks of it the NCAD stunner Holly Carpenter has the looks and poise to go all the way to the top of Miss World if she grabs the Miss Ireland tiara along the way... Holly Carpenter We have to say that in years gone by we haven't been able to spot at future Miss Ireland at the early heats as most of the gals on show are wee diamonds in the rough. Deep deep deep within the rough. Holly Carpenter But this year for the first since Rosanna Davison we can already see Miss Ireland and Miss World screaming out of Holly Carpenter after she won Miss University 2011 last night... The girl was born to wear a tiara. Holly Carpenter, Emma Waldron But for every winner there are sooo many other losers who over did it on the aul fake bake and under-did it on the aul bikini... And those are the ones we really love folks... The real Miss ShowBiz.ieeees... Rosalyn Taggart Less of the verbal, and it's over to you folks... Holly Carpenter, Miss University 2011. A vintage year... Yay!

Robert Ritter von Greim – Munich April 19, 2011 - 16:31 ""University" refers to all levels of 3rd level education, in order to be fair to all ladies who are studying in institutions other than Universities." --> Under that logic, let's stop awarding grades and give everyone a standard degree. If you're going to call the recipient of the award Miss University, then the ceremony should only be open to those capable of getting into a University as opposed to a post-leaving cert college or one of those horrific Institutes of Technology. Leesa April 18, 2011 - 18:31 Hi Mary, no one cares if the girls are nice or not - it's a beauty contest based on looks. IMO this kind of thing is an embarrassment, firstly cos it's so ancient & 'Lovely Girls' and secondly, cos we have NO lovely girls here to speak of. CRINGE. Natalie – The Truth April 17, 2011 - 23:52 some nerve to enter a beauty contest.,,,,no doubt showbiz will edit this as they havnt any courage! Mary April 17, 2011 - 23:36 Don't think it's very fair that you're slating these girls, I competed in this competition this year and these girls are being slagged for being c0cky and full of themselves, and they have to be the nicest, most down to earth ladies I've ever met. the term "University" refers to all levels of 3rd level education, in order to be fair to all ladies who are studying in institutions other than Universities. Holly Carpenter fully deserves to hold that title and I hope she does very well in the Miss Ireland final :) And fair play to Rosalyn, she took the bikini round as a bit of fun and i salute her for it! :) Leesa April 17, 2011 - 18:02 No genuinely good looking woman would enter this. Also, the winner looks best but that's cos she is modelling Maybelline's entire line of cosmetics. Carls Burgh – Copenhagen April 17, 2011 - 14:08 Judging by "!!! :D"'s spelling - differance, dosnt, sence etc. it's quite obvious that they didn't attend any university in this country. Also, I'm open to correction on this, but I don't believe that any of the judges went to university either. fanny April 17, 2011 - 05:33 Comment Removed. Ivano – Dublin April 16, 2011 - 20:33 What a night fair play to all the girls that were in our final they were amazing on the night... Mark – Dublin April 16, 2011 - 17:35 Complete chav party... Sebastian Longchamps – Bed. April 16, 2011 - 17:25 Ivano's dieting is paying off I see. Leah – Co. Meath April 16, 2011 - 14:59 looks like she wants to get to the loo....urgently!!! smile – dublin April 16, 2011 - 00:44 well all these girls are looking beautiful, fair play for having the courage to get up there! Not sure about the winner though !!! :D – dublin April 16, 2011 - 00:43 firstly , NCAD is the only art university in ireland , secondly it clearly dosnt make a differance if it wasnt , there was 'IT's" competing and all different types of colleges , so that really dosnt make sence , i personally think its fantastic that holly won , as shes a great Representative for the college , and the most down to earth amazing girl you will ever meet , i really hope she will go on to be miss ireland :D i think all the girls were amazing in the competition ,and that , there was some though competition congrats to everyone that competed Conor – Dulin April 15, 2011 - 23:35 Why would any girl put herself through this? Lovely girls competition! Heinrich Himmler – Berlin April 15, 2011 - 21:48 The National College of Art & Design is not a university, so this contest is officially a joke. s – dublin April 15, 2011 - 21:07 oh good lord who is Rosalyn Taggart?? iris – Dublin April 15, 2011 - 21:01 Lara Casey is classy as ever.... robyn – dublin April 15, 2011 - 20:47 Was the winner already with Assets? HA! April 15, 2011 - 20:00 The proper state. Too many words come to mind. None flattering. liz April 15, 2011 - 17:28 yikes yikes and again yikes. The winner was the prettiest by a long shot of any of the girls pictured here but not a patch on previous winners. Most woeful bunch of entrants i ever saw in the history of the competition. On the positive side Nicola Hughes and Emma Waldron look well. Breffny – Dublin April 15, 2011 - 14:42 Get real jobs steve April 15, 2011 - 13:24 Ok i'm not gonna slate any of these girls their ok but i will give them credit in saying that the angle of the photos isn't a flattering one. Niamh cullen is very cute & pretty.
