19)What advice do you have for any lady who is thinking of doing the pageant next year?
I would advise any woman that is thinking of entering this pageant to:
Do their research prior, make sure that this is for you. Its alot of hard work, being pretty and having a nice body wont make you place or win
save save save, because if sponsor dont work out, this pageant is expensive, especially if you want all the finer things in the pageant.
Have patience and get good rest, because once your in it, your life is moving so quickly. Outings and rehersals takes up so much time, and remember we still have our every day life

20)If you was to walk the red carpet which designer would you wear and why?
LV i love his style of clothes and i love love his bags and i would match with a pair of Louboutin shoes. Love me some red bottoms.
21)If you had the power to change one thing in the world what would it be and why?
I would try to make people understand that CHANGE is good. People need to understand that not because something is the accontomed means that its right. Being open to change shows growth
22)What are a few things you love about St Maarten Carnival?
The fact that our carnival is mixed, our diversity. On parade day you get to see all the different nations come together and display their crafts. Jouvert morning (when the bands come on the road) is also very entertaining. 2 weeks of parading, shows, local food from our booth holders. Carnival does not get better than this.
23)What do you think about the fashion police news blog?
Police News is an interesting blog site shows you what's hot, i love Mr. Fierce's style. Covering some events and keeping the fashion world up to date, God knows many people need it. I love the arresting part for those who are just not cutting it. This is always funny. (can you please arrest those people that wear white pumps ). Mr. Fierce comes from a caribbean back ground so it gives him an edge over other bloggers and other fashion guru. The site it self is well kept and keeps us entertained and well informed.
24)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk?
I think that men have something extra, they are unique and see things that a woman trainer would not see. They are very particular and has that extra spunk.
25)Any last words for our many blog readers world wide on your upcoming Ms Mature pageant where your a contestant?
Thank you to fashion police for this opportunity to e on your blog for the world wide blog readers. Please stay tuned because I am about to blow you away. If I am allowed to come back after my show on April 22 i plan to make you proud no matter what the outcome.
26)What do you think of women with curves on the catwalks?
I think women with curves is a great thing on the run way, we have to remember that God did not create us all to look the same way. Women with curves are sexy and in a fashion class by them selves. Curvy women on the run way with attitude shows confidence. Tyra Banks has hips, bust, and backside, and she has embrace that she is not a size 1 and she has very successful model. Embrace your curves and show the world WOMEN run it with curves (smile).
