Looks like Miss British Virgin Islands has not getting much support from her country. Erika Creque is all set to fly in the Philippines for the 65th annual Miss Universe pageant. But unlike other girls who have huge luggage, Miss British Virgin Is. will be travelling with just just 1 large cabin and 2 small suitcases for a month-long pageant activities.
British Virgin Islands has never won a Miss Universe title before. In fact the territory has been very unfortunate in even getting placements most of the time.
They started sending candidates since 1977, and was unplaced from 1977-2015.
Erika appreciates the support that helped her get to this point and promised win or lose she will be extremely proud to represent such an amazing islands. It’s wonderful that she has such a strong mother she can look up to, as well as a lot of very supportive friends and fans.
Here's her bio at the Miss Universe website :
