Alina Gerasimenko from Orsha made it to the final of the National Beauty Contest "Miss Belarus-2023"

Alina Gerasimenko, an 18-year-old native of Orsha, has never worn high-heeled shoes for as long as she can remember. The girl admits: apparently, due to her height-177cm. But this was the case until February of this year, when I came up with the idea to try my hand at the regional casting of the National Beauty Contest "Miss Belarus-2023".

Today Alina on 10-centimeter stilettos confidently defiles on the catwalk in the capital. She is one of the 24 finalists of the final stage of the competition. Behind the shoulders of the girl-casting fever, months of work on yourself. And here is the finish line.

– I never thought in my life that this would happen, - Alina shared with the correspondent of "BB". – In social networks in the group of the Orsha State Mechanical and Economic College, where I studied, I saw that a casting call was announced in Orsha. I jokingly told my friends about this, and they offered to try their hand. I came to the regional selection with them to feel supported. And when I heard that I had made it to the semifinals, I was really shocked. When I arrived in Vitebsk, I was shocked by how many girls of model appearance gathered, how confident they communicate and keep on their heels. I'm a fighter by nature, and no matter what, I've already decided to go all the way. This was taught to me by sports – I was seriously interested in handball and basketball. Friends and family continued to encourage and inspire confidence in themselves.

Alina said that the most difficult test for her in the semifinals was a photo shoot in a swimsuit – she had never had such an experience before. There were also unexpected questions from the jury, which had to be answered immediately.

The grand final of Miss Belarus will be held on September 8 at the Sports Palace in Minsk. Alina Gerasimenko, like the rest of the contestants, is very excited about this event. However, now the charming brown-haired woman with green eyes has much more confidence in her abilities.

- A tough fashion show from 10 am to 10 pm, many hours of choreography rehearsals, numerous master classes with public speaking teachers, a nutritionist, a psychologist, meetings with prominent government figures, etc. – we have a great team working with us. We are all like one family – " said the beauty. – There is no competition or envy among girls, only sincere friendship. And it doesn't matter if I try on the crown or not, for me it's a huge unforgettable experience.

It is interesting that Alina will be supported not only in the Vitebsk region, which she represents along with Valeria Fomchenko, but also in Minsk. The finalist is the "newly minted" dispatcher of automobile transport of the branch " Transport Park No. 2 "of the State Enterprise "Minsktrans". There, the young specialist is expected with impatience and wishes the girl a victory.
