Showcase your plasticity in the Poulangy village hall so that the most beautiful of all becomes Miss /15-17 year old Haute-Marne. Already surrounded by a miss or dauphine sash in neighboring departments of Champagne-Ardenne, their elders participated in the show, Sunday June 2, interspersing their own scenographies with those of competitors.
“All little girls should cope.” The first of the eleven candidates* makes the pitch of her personality in front of a mixed jury, in the Poulangy village hall, Sunday June 2. Each in turn, the very young ladies remember that they had to overcome their lack of self-confidence to come and showcase their bodies in front of a mixed jury and in public. The atmosphere that reigns here, which is a stone’s throw from Chaumont, is also a thousand miles from the spirit of the times, saturated with demands in favor of a “new status” for women, who, above all, would be better off – at least as well – if he exfiltrated sexuality.
“Thanks to Ilinka for teaching us how to walk”
However, on Sunday, if these teenagers who dream of being named the most beautiful of all, are careful not to reveal too much of their flesh, they emphasize the assets of their plastic. A pretty face is not everything, the body must know how to speak to the jury. And nothing beats a sway of the hips, a resistant smile, a fall of the back more arched than usual, a singularly swaying turn, the eyes searching for those of the jury. So many “fundamentals” designed to make you fall in love. Tacit uses of the game of seduction since the dawn of time, and essential in beauty contests for ages… to the great dismay of neo-feminists. Nevertheless, the said customs rule the roost on Sunday in Poulangy, in everything: we move in stiletto heels, we jump in cheerleader mode. “Thanks to Ilinka for teaching us how to walk.” All the lovely candidates greeted Ilinka Cornuot, the title holder of Miss 15-17 Haute-Marne in 2023, who guided them in the preparation of their performance on Sunday. “The girls” will know how to enhance their silhouettes.
To the cheers of their fans – often their mothers; a few boys who come after having carefully worked on their style – “the girls” are the target of the lens of multiple mobile phones… and the curiosity of older couples. The test to which they submit is moral and physical. It was not necessarily necessary to rock the queens of the track on Sunday evening.
It is the young lady Kiara Beligny, who is Miss 15/17 Haute-Marne, succeeding Ilinka Cornuot. Its 1time runner-up is Elisa Guillaumot, her 2e runner-up is Maïssa Baudouhia-Tallon, her 3e runner-up is Léonie Gaché, her 4e runner-up is Sara Kaci; the “favorite” prize goes to Sarah Peigneis; the photogenic prize to Violaine Krezoch.

There were twelve candidates in the running, but one of them, suffering, was deprived of the competition.
