Cassy Naidas is one of Aces & Queens’ best bets for BBP2013.
So what’s a half-Korean head-turner doing in Bb. Pilipinas? To win one of the crowns, of course!
Statuesque at 5’10”, this Aces & Queens protégé has been preparing well for the national pageant. And Cassandra ‘Cassy’ Naidas is not leaving any stone unturned to insure that she gets in without difficulty. Aware of the extra challenging line-up that she will face come screening time, she is – as the title of this post states – planning to bring her A-game and giving the rest – including her camp-mates – some tough competition.
Her beauty does not immediately grab you upon first encounter. But in due time, she grows in leaps and bounds. Her projection is refined, with a sparkling aura to boot. Jonas Gaffud should be proud of her. 😉

She’s the typical Korean girl that Korea has been sending in MU or other beauty pageants. At first glance I thought I’ve seen her already but never heard of her. I wanna see how she performs since these pics alone aren’t enough to dismiss her. But this gal doesn’t excite me at all. I don’t feel anything. I want a genuine Filipina look or Latina looking one compare to Asian Oriental since we have Spanish blood running through our veins. Yeah, I guess Sharon and I share same observations. Lacking the it factor. However, Aces & Queens know a lot better!
If she has the heart to serve and a strong mind to show to people, then she can be a Binibini.
If she wins, I hope she can influence and inspire lawmakers to pass a law concerning surfing, because the best wave is the wave that we waited for.
I Thank You!
Norman — There’s something about Cassandra that makes me think that she’s the type who does very well during closed-door interviews and that her communication and interpersonal skills will set her apart. She may not be the most photogenic of the candidates — I agree — but this isn’t about choosing Miss Photogenic. One cannot truly gauge a person’s substantive beauty by photographs alone but by engaging with them face to face — that is why beauty pageants like Miss Universe consider their one-on-one interviews with candidates the most critical phase of their selection process. I’m confident Cassandra will shine in this regard. And although I wouldn’t call Cassandra “pageant pretty”, her facial beauty is classically oriental — timeless, serene and it has substance — she should cultivate it, rather than camouflage it. Her statuesque physique at 5’10” is the extra icing on the cake.
PS: I’d like to see her try on occasion a different hairstyle, however — like Gloria Diaz’s 1969 striking and very Asian jet black straight hair-do — so her entire face can be appreciated fully — without those distracting side bangs. It’s the look I personally prefer when it comes to showcasing East Asian beauties.
