Tell us about your
annual contest which is called Miss Fashion vs beauty pageant contest?
Miss fashion vs beauty is a
unique combination of beauty pageant and fashion catwalk. It's the only
competition of its kind which allows the two industries to compete on one
stage. Think London fashion week vs miss England
pageant.
The competition started in
August 2010 and is going strength to strength with this years winner (miss
fashion vs beauty 2011) winning the signed by Katie Price programme
(AKA Jordan ). The
show funds go directly to Bobath children’s therapy centre Wales who I adore so much and help make a huge
difference to children in Wales
living with cerebral palsy. The applications are open again for 2012 if you
would like to apply please do so online www.fashionvsbeauty.com
When you’re not
working what do you do in your spare time?
When I am not working I enjoy
spending time with friends going out.
I am also am a big food buff
so love food festivals and also as expected fashion shows to keep up to date
with the latest trends. I am well travelled having visited well over 100
countries and cities and so love to spend time aboard also.
Describe in your
words what beauty is?
To me real beauty starts
inside, sound silly considering we as women thrive to work on the outside so
much. However I think most men would agree that a woman can not truly be
beautiful until she can learn to love herself for who she truly is first. I
have worked with allot of really beautiful women over the years and so many of
them have such huge self confidence issues. All women should work with their
best assets and try not to turn to cosmetic surgery to follow trends. For me
true beauty is having self confidence and being able to walk into a room and
light it up with a smile.
What are some things
your winners go on and do after winning?
Previous winners and
contestants of Miss Fashion vs beauty go on to do many things such as fashion
shows, model for companies such as wok to walk and also this years winner Amy
Willterton went onto win Signed by Katie price
Explain is what's the
difference between a pageant girl and a fashion model?
People ask me the question all
the time what is the difference between fashion models and pageant contestants
and my answer is simple. Fashion is a very skill trade walking catwalk should
be fierce and fashion holds no limits and models should be able to transform
time and time again. Pageant girls have a softer side and should be able to
almost float down the stage. They should be graceful, well spoken and do allot
for charity.
Their are so many
pageant in the UK
what makes this one any different?
Miss fashion vs beauty
combines the two industries - it's unique and no- one has anything like it. I
also have a very strong bond with my girls before and after the show.
Contestants can always rely on me for advice and a shoulder to cry on. Many
contestants say how my pageant has boost there confidence and how they have
made so many friends since attending the show.
Name one thing you
just can't leave your home without?
I can't leave home without my
iphone. I use it to check my emails and facebook messages for work. Also my
reminder app has got me out of many sticky situations - like forgetting
birthdays.
My top apps include: eBay,
reminder app, event organising app and many more
If you got 3 tickets
to attend 3 different pageants in the UK which 3 would you go to and why?
1. Miss galaxy - I love this
pageant as they are very friendly and helpful with all the girls and the prizes
are great too. I was also Miss Cardiff Galaxy 2010.
2. Miss Universe Wales - My
friend owns this pageant it's very well put together and they always pull in
the best entertainment and venues to hold the shows
3. Miss England - I have never
been and would be interested to see what it's like. I hear they have great
table gifts for the guests.
What kind of music
brings you to the dance floor to shake your booty?
My number one booty shaker has
to be single ladies turn this on and stand back as heels will not hold me back
with this tune.
Describe in your
words what a true today’s woman is and should look like?
To me a true today’s woman
should look naturally beautiful by that I don't mean lose the make up but keep
anything god gave you natural.
Are you
married/single/relationship?
I am single and proud. A
chosen lifestyle I am calling it. Not that it stops married/ coupled up friends
searching the market place for you lol. I like to think of myself as the Carrie
Bradshaw of Cardiff
seeking my mr big. Being single has many advantages such as being able to
concentrate on what I want out of life. This industry moves fast and so I have
to keep up with it - which requires time. However dating on the other hand is
very fun and gives me the chance to find a male that will fit me like a glove.
What attracts you to
someone?
I love a beautiful: smile,
broad shoulders, and beautiful eyes
Naturally like most people
looks will attract me, but the goodness of his heart will keep me. I have dated
males who are extremely good looking but if they can't make me laugh out loud I
tend to lose interest. On the other side if I get to know a persons personality
first I am more likely to fall in love. I also like someone who can hold there
own and confidence is always a huge pull.
