Mr Phillip the photographer in Queen Amina hall at the time took the pictures and I quickly dispatched the pictures to Lever Brothers. On reaching there , they said selections had been concluded ,but if anything came up she would be contacted.
With luck on our side , some of the married women who had enrolled earlier  pulled out as their husbands were not in support of their participation .
And that was how Ibidun Ajayi was contacted and that was the beginning of the first Lux Beauty Queen crown which she won.
Ibidunni was a rare and unique soul .
May her peaceful, pleasant and always giving soul rest in perfect peace.
