This paper examines the symbiotic relationship between individual pageant titleholders (with a specific focus on the pseudonymous representative "Tantely," a stand-in for the modern Malagasy contestant archetype), the institutional brand of Miss Madagascar , and the evolving landscape of entertainment and media content.
