Tasia is Miss Jaycees 2016

"I think she's got it!

I think she's got it!

By George, she's got it!

By George, she's got it!"

– Professor Higgins in the 1964 classic film "My Fair Lady".

In St John's, Antigua yesterday Sunday, Tasia Floissac, 22, the winsome beauty from Atkinson, won the 55th Miss Jaycees Queen Pageant.

And that has had Dominicans as ecstatic as Professor Higgins in the timeless 1964 film "My Fair Lady".

"By George, she's got it!"

Tarshia, didn't just get it. She nailed it, by winning three of the four judged segments.
