Caribbean Beauty Ms Netisha Speaks To London Police

1)Tell us who you are and what you do for those not familiar with you?

 Standing 5"9 inches tall, I am a Part-time Model, Teacher of a catholic elementary school & a Humanitarian. with that;

I am an advisor of an NGO in Nigeria Africa, a 'lifesaver' to my students & children at my school, an advisor to teens,

also a discrete member of a charity in Antigua where I reside . Discrete because I believe that my reward is in heaven & I have a

natural instinct to help those in need, not for publicity but for the satisfaction of knowing that I made a difference.

 Commonly referred to as;"Ms. Beauty brains & heart." I am Ms. Netisha Alie "A vibrant and down to earth Caribbean woman".

2)What word best describe you as a person?

 There are but many words in the dictionary that can describe my personality, however when given the choice 

 to narrow it down to one it'd be "Regal"!!!

3)What is one thing you just can't leave home without?

 ...believe it or not, I can't leave home without my sunglasses. They are like

        like my little eye guards from the sun, plus they usually compliment my attire.

4)Do you think your a true representation of a today's woman?

 As far as "Today's Women" are concerned, I view myself as quite 

a 'combination"...as I do practice independence and keep up with certain 

positive trends, but also instill some of the "past principles" in my lifestyle as

I am a well grounded individual, both religiously and socially as far as morals & values are concerned.

5)Describe in your own word what true beauty is?

When one can accept themselves and their abilities that they were blessed with

and appreciate it so much that others can clearly see the radiance that exist

within them, I deem it "true beauty". For in that way no one will be allowed to

define your beauty but yourself.

6)What music makes you shake your booty?

Caribbean Music, from gospel to Soca knocks me off my feet. Due to its

diversity and intense passion portrayed by every artist. I also "shake a leg

on R&B & Pop based on the song or artist.

7)What are 4 things that women do that makes you mad?

a) when women have such a low self esteem that they allow men

    to demoralize  and walk all over them.

b) women who have no ambition nor zeal to have big goals

   and work hard to achieve them.

c) women who display all forms of unnecessary behaviour     

in public.

d) women who have  children & abandon or ill treat them.

(heart-breaking)

8)Are you single/married/relationship/divorce?

Currently in a relationship.

9)What attracts you to someone?

One's personality and how they carry themselves determines

my attraction to them. 

10)What are a few things that makes a girl look to easy to get?

  -a girl who constantly dresses with revealing clothing,

  - the way in which she responds to a guy in a simple conversation,

  - a girl  who does not set standards for herself and display a "don't

    care" attitude.

  - one who will befriend a guy who is in a relationship just to get a   

     shot at being in his girl's place.

  - a girl who will throw herself at a guy without him showing any

     efforts to gain her interest

  

11)If there were 2 pageants you could enter which 2 would they be and why?

1) Miss Universe : due to the fact that it creates a platform that allows the winner

to work with the less fortunate across the globe and that in itself is an 'award' in my opinion.

2) Miss Humanity International :because it allows contestants to highlight humanitarian

issues affecting their respective countries. A great way to educate the world about issues

affecting humanity.

12)Tell us about the modelling on your island?

Modelling on my island is in its initial stages of development and needs a lot

of improvement. Standards need to be set and persons need to start viewing

it for what it can be. Because I believe that the Caribbean  has a lot of talent where

models are concerned.

13)If there would be one person you would love to meet who would it be and why?

Tyra Banks. I watch tyra give young women like me a chance to showcase their abilities on ANTM and

even in her recent T.V show. Since I  am about helping others, she inspires me in many

ways to continue along that line.

14)What do you think of Fashion Police News Report?

I believe it is a great venture to provide everyone involved with exposure

and also to educate the readers about  different aspects of fashion.

15)What dish do you love cooking

I love cooking stewed chicken, with ground provisions and pear as a

side. Yum!

16)What are some secret tips when your in a pageant you live by?

1) Punctuality to every event,practice or rehearsal,

2) go in to have fun, learn and do your best,

3) ensure that you have everything you need, very very

important.

4) always be alert and practice a lot

17)What perfume are you now wearing as we speak?

smiles* VIVID by Liz Claiborne

18)What is one thing people say about you that is not true that you would love to address

Some people usually give me a first look & without knowing who I am, come to the conclusion that I am 

"Conceited" but if there is anything I am is the total opposite. I am confident in my abilities and thankful

for my blessings.

19)Any last words to our many blog readers?

Thank you for reading and supporting such a medium. In anything you wish to pursue set 

your mind to know that no matter how close you are to loosing, winning is still an option. Also

that life is filled with opposites vital to create balance. So when you're sad, smile because it can only

Ms" BATTLE OF THE RUNWAY"2011 Winner Ms Kyomi speaks to the Police

1)Please tell us who you are what you do for those not familiar with you?

My name is Kyomi Thompson A.K.A "Kyomi Kouture" I am a National Diploma college graduate in Fashion and Clothing. Now I have finished my college studies I work free lance designing and making clothes for buyers, along side studying Garment Technology privately to improve my skills; because you can never learn too much!
I also model part time taking part in various photo shoots and exciting fashion shows, modelling my own creations when I get the chance to.

2)Describe yourself in 3 words?

Creative, ambitious and headstrong ;-)

3)When not working what do you enjoy doing?

Laughing, spending time with family, designing new collections, and going on holiday. 

4)If you had to grade yourself for 1 to 100 on your modelling walk how much would you give your self?

99...always room for improvement!

5)What made you compete in Ms Battle of the runway 2011?

A make up artist I know fowarded me the details because she thought I may be interested. I thought that it would open up new doors for me, good opportunity for me to network , improve my walk and obviously to win the £500 prize. 

6)Did you think you was going to win after seeing all those fierce girls?

definately NOT, it was so funny because just before the show I was talking to some lady telling her how much in doubt I was of winning and because I had so many friends and family attending the show on the night I really wanted to make them proud in winning. I had loads of competition.

7)Have many doors open for you since you won?explaine

To be honest no. The one thing it had done though, it gave me loads of motivation and enthusiasm to enter in  more competitions and apply for different modelling agencys

8)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?

Fantastic, always alive and buzzing with new hot topics.

9)Who are some of the people who showed you how to walk?

No one really I just learnt by watching a lot of modelling programmes like: America's/Britain's Next Top Model, Gok's Fashion, and youtube I like to watch people walk and try to take notes.

10)Tell us your expereience in Battle of the runway catwalk contest 2011?

I learnt a lot from Battle Of The Runway, I made new friends who pointed me in different directions to do with fashion shows and I learned how important it is to be confident on the runway. The downfall of the competition was that I was promised a cash prize of "£500" and I never got it. This has made be even more so vidulant in sniffing out Rats in the industry when applying for more modelling jobs and competitions in the future. I know Maxine made money on the night as she got all of the ticket money from the show, every contendant had to pay £10 for our pictures to be taken plus she never had to pay for make up artists and helpers back stage as they were all voluntery. considering out of all the contestants I brought the most people to the show so with them buying tickets I basically put the money in to Maxines pocket. I never thought Maxine Grifiths would turn out to be such a fraud and rob a 19 year old girl in her hard earned cash prize, and that she has left me but no other choice of having to take her to court to get my prize.

11)What advice do you have for any girl looking to compete and take your crown in 2012

Well for a start I will not be taking part in any of the crowing of the winner of 2012 Battle Of The Runway. I would say don't waist your time as I wasn't rewarded my prize they just build you up and then once the shows over drop you back down. Through making people aware of what Maxine done to me I have found out from a lot of people that this is the typical nature of Maxine, so I would definatley say to do your research in to her before you decide to enter the competition.

12)If you was to do a photo shoot with 2 people of your choice who would it be and why?

Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks, because I know out of that one photo shoot I could learn loads from them.

13)Which other contest would you like to compete in and why if any?

Top Model Of Colour, because I think they would more appreciate my ethnicity, natural hair and unusual looks.

14)If you was given 3 tickets to attend any event of your choice which 3 would you go to and why?

America's Next Top Model Show, BET Awards and London Fashion Week in Somerset House because it would be a fantastic place to network and I love watching fashion shows for inspiration.

15)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk?

I think they are good teachers because men often exaggerateso the woman can clearly see where they are going wrong or right

16)Describe what true beauty is in your own words?

true beauty truley does come within and I'm not just talking about personality I'm talking you can cover your face and hair with as much chemical based "beauty products"and make up as you like but unless your feeding the inside of your body with the nutritious foods and herbs God blessed the Earth with your body will automatically eject the chemicals through the 1000's of pores in the most largest organ we have our skin far from showing beauty.

17)How did you prepare for the contest?

I used to go to my sisters house a she had a very large hall way, Put a long mirror at the end of the hallway and walked up and down, posing at the end in the mirror as if it was the runway I got my sister to be my critique and just kept on practicing in my heels until I got it perfect, I also was filmed so I could watch myself so I could see where I was going wrong.

18)If you had the chance to walk the runway with 2 people of your choice who would it be and why?

Professor catwalk because hes so fierce :-)

20)What are your thoughts on women who live with weave 365 days of the year in their heads?

Erm, there heads must itch! lol no obviously its a free country people can wear what they want but I do like to see African and Carribean women wearing there own natural hair and looking good with it because when they have caucasian or Asian weave on there head it does make me wonder why they are not proud of there ethnicity and if they are trying to aspire to look like what they're not.

21)Are you married/single/relationship/divorced

Single

22)What advice do you have for our many readers out there?

Cheerfully and energetically she tackles the challenges each day brings. Her husband and children love and respect her for her kind, generous and caring nature.

I loved both pageants. For Miss World; it was the year Lionel Richie performed. He had the chance of spending extra ttime with 10 beauties out of the 104 contestants, I was one of the chosen 10. Sharing a conversation with him and then singing and dancing along to "you are once, twice, three time a lady" with him on stage was fab! For Miss Universe, it was meeting and shaking hands with Mr Trump himself. He is one of my inspirations for starting my parent company; Swanilenga Group Ltd.

18) What are your thoughts on women who never leave their hair rest, they always have weave?

Its their personal choice, if it makes them feel great / complete, all the best to them. For me, I love working with and maintaining my own hair whatever the length / texture.

Most Sought After Make Up Artist"Hotlips" Confess to the Police

1)For those who are not familiar with you who are you and what do you do?

1) My name is Kristy Prince a.k.a Hotlips I'm a make up artist/hairstylist
I'm freelance so work with many types of clientele from brides to music artists actors/actresses, celebrities, fashion designers, models, charitable organisations, hair companies creating tailor made make up & hair designs according to their requirements. I also do editorial for magazine & websites, l am brand ambassador for make up companies.    2)There are so many make up artist out there what makes you different? I work with such a diverse and mixed clientele...from celebrities to young girls going to a prom each one of my clients are as equally important to me regardless of their status. I also do hair & nails and some beauty treatments such as eyebrow shaping, eye lash tints, facials, this can be especially beneficial to my clients who have hectic schedules...previously I was a social worker and have a instinct if a client has any insecurities regarding their image....I put my clients at total ease, sometimes doing their hair or make up is like a mini counselling session as they open up about personal & sensitive issues, I would say that I have an advantage on other artists which I have gained in both of these careers. 

3)What word best describe you?
3)Passionate

4)What is one thing you just can't leave the house without
4)My must have essential is a great lip balm with an spf to protect the delicate skin on the lips from winter thru to fall, EVERYONE should carry one!

5)What are your 4 tips for our ladies when shopping for make up?

5) 1. If possible take a friend along to give you a totally honest opinion
2.Go without any make up...I. know for some ladies that is a huge request but they will get amazing results if the make up artist has a blank canvass to work from....if you are not having a make over its best if your skin is just cleansed & prepared so you can apply the base along the jaw line to ensure it blends into the neck.
3.When buying foundation always check results in natural daylight as stores tend to have extremely bright lighting that can give a false initial impression....nothing worse than splashing out on a pricey item only to regret it later because its the wrong shade.
4.The best natural asset we have are our smiles and as not all woman want to wear make up, looking after your skin and teeth and hair will ensure you have a natural radiance.

6)If you was not a make up artist what would you be doing?

6) I think I would be a youth advisor or mentor as many young people for whatever reasons don't have positive role models. Our youth are the future so need guidance, support and encouragement.

7)What music would make you run to the dance floor to shake that booty?
7) I love' I heard you say' by Dennis Ferrer but essentially anything with a great beat and thumping bass line!

8)Do you think your a true representation of a today's woman if yes/no why?

8) I'm definitely a true representation of today's woman I am independent ambitious aspirational and confident. Confidence is a must in my industry as I work with so many exceptionally beautiful woman...if you are a person that is easily intimated it gives others the opportunity to find fault...I go into a room believing I'm as good as anyone regardless of where their from or who they are....its so important to have self belief! 
9)Name 2 make up artist in the uk you look up to if any?

9) I look up to many make up artists but the 2 that I admire greatly are Sharon Dowsett who I actually had the pleasure of working with at the 'FASHION ROCKS' event at the Royal Albert hall and Pat McGrath who is next on my hit list....so Pat if your reading this holla lol. 
10)Are you single/married/relationship? 10) I'm currently single although I would say not necessarily by choice....it seems to me that committed relationships are like some 'Mission Impossible' example Kim Kadashain marriage lasted 72 days & Sinead O'Connor lasted 16 days! I have a lot of admirers which is a boost but I am a little bit fussy lol if a guy does something I don't like especially on the 1st date his toast ha ha you only get one chance to make an impression! Maybe this is the year I'll find my Prince who knows. 
11)What are you 4 fashion tips you live by
11) 1. My fashion tips I live by are find a style that suits your body shape and stick with it
2.Just because its in 'Fashion' does not mean you have to wear it! Certain people can get away with wearing really outrageous clothes and they look so on point, others try it and get it so wrong! Remember the Fashion police are always watching!
3. Timeless key pieces are essential such as a great fitting pair of Jeans the LBD for ladies and a good fitting suit for a man, a well tailored Jacket can make even a simple outfit look classy.
4. Always make sure you have great accessories as these complete an outfit, shows jewellery and a fab handbag! 
12)Where do you get your inspiration from?
12) My inspiration comes from everywhere I studied art photography & interior design before finding my niche in make up and hair. I trained as a hairdresser when I left school and decided to take it to the next level by doing make up as well...I see inspiration in everyday life, movies other make up artists & creative people such as the designers and also in the faces of people I work on. 
13)If you was granted to pick 3 people of your choice on who you would do their make up who would you choose? 
13)I have been really blessed & had the opportunity to do make up & hair on some amazing people, 3 that come to mind instantly are Thandie Newton, Charlize Theron and Rihanna I think they are stunning and it would be a dream come true for me. 
14)When not working what do you enjoy doing
14) I love catching up with friends & family, I also love cooking and entertaining you cannot beat good food and great company....I like reading and travelling I have been fortunate enough in my career to visit the USA, Caribbean, Africa as well as Europe. I love chilling with a good book or a dvd.
15)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?
15) I am so impressed with the blog and of course I absolutely love Catwalk Professor a.k.a Mr. Fierce its a great platform to learn about others in the industry! There are so many talented & hard working people behind the screens in the fashion, beauty, film & tv, video ,music industry that are unsung heroes, it takes one hell of a lot of planning to put on an event! So this blog is informative & let's us find out about who these wonderful people are and what their roles are. 
16)What do you admire most of a man?
16) I must admit I'm a bit old fashion when it comes to Men I like gentlemen who know how to treat a lady and make her feel special, manners go a very long way and carry you anywhere in the world. Integrity are also very important qualities as well as loyalty.
17)If you had to choose from these 3 which one would you choose  (1)policeman in uniform(2)construction worker(3)business man?and why
17) This is a no brainer no.3 I love a man in a suit! So sexy and suave and I would be charmed by good manners because most guys I know that wear suits as a staple are charming. 
18)If anyone from the other side of the world would like to view your work how can they do so?

19)If you was given 3 tickets to attend any 3 events in the uk which 3 would you go to ?
19) This is a tricky question as there are so many events in UK every year but as I love music first choice is 1. the MOBOs
2. The Baftas 3. British hairdresser of the year 
20)Tell us about your name HOTLIPS? 
20) I was given that nickname back in school by my sweet heart after our 1st kiss he said" your lips are hot I'm gonna call you Hotlips"....at that time I was focused on training as a hairdresser so I only really started to use it when I branched out and became Freelance, I wanted a name people would remember as I love lips I printed my 1st business cards with my Lips as the logo, I also have my lips tattooed on my right shoulder...

21)Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
21) I want to continue making people look beautiful and feel special, I want to be able to inspire others as well as teaching aspiring mua's and women how to apply the perfect make up for all occasions. I would even consider launching a capsule range of lip care. I'm in talks with a friend who is a comedian/presenter about online tutorials with a twist as people love my personality and always say I should be in comedy so that's something I'm considering. 
22)What advice you have for anyone wanting to be a make up artist?
22) The best advice I can give is to any aspiring muas is practise on friends to perfect your technique and to learn about different face and eye shapes, attending a course is also great to learn the basics, although they can be really expensive privately local colleges do courses for 16 and up, reading books is an invaluable resource two books I swear by are Fine Beauty by Sam Fine and the Bobbi Brown I think they give great step by step advice . If you can get a job on a make up counter that is a great way to stock your kit and work on clients to build up confidence. If you feel its what you really want to do seek out established muas and ask to assist them this is a great way to make contacts and will get you credited work for your portfolio.

Ms Hildah Mulenga Speaks To The Fashion Police

1)For those not familiar with you who are you and what do you do?

My  name is Hildah Mulenga the Director of a UK  registered charity called Mumba Children's Project and promoter of Miss Malaika UK 'Beauty of African Origin' 

2)What word best describe you as a person?

Down to earth person and can relate to people of all standards

3)Their are so many charities out there what make yours any different?

Our charity is very close to heart in that it is a small charity with no overheads and what is donated is received by the intended recepients, from the donor to the disadvantaged children, the youth and the women. Our charity is operated in the villages where there is abject poverty. We have a centre called Mumba Day care centre in rural Mpongwe village where children come every morning to learn, play, and eat one square meal a day before they go back to their various homes. The idea is not separate them from their families but to offer them an opportunity of a better future while maintaining family ties. Most of the children are orphans looked after by their old grandmothers who have absolutely no means of supporting these children materially, financially but there for the children's emotional support and maintaining their family ties.

Future plans are a full fledged school up to secondary, a health center as we already promote the homebased care team within the 'Kabya' community as the nearest services like the mission hospital, government schools an shops are a good 10kilometers away.

So we need every support we can get out there

4)Tell us in a few words the history of your charity?

The idea of forming a charity started after losing one of my children a son called Mumba Brian Mulenga in a tragic accident, putting the tragedy into something positive to benefit the underpriviledged. Losing a child at the tender age of thirteen left a very traumatic gap in one's life and it does not get any easier as time passes. So to put a loss into something positive the charity was formed called Mumba Children's Project and Miss Malaika UK became 'a child' of the charity to offer the youth in the diaspora keep links with their roots and do something positive in their lives be it here in the UK or world wide

5)Is this charity only for the children in africa or is it world wide as kids are in need world wide?

The charity is for the underpriviledged children meaning it is not limited to Zambian children only but worldwide. Under Miss Malaika every delegate that participates identifies their own line of charity that they want to undertake and the organisation acts as a platform to realise the potential of every candidate.

A child in the western world has a totally different form of suffering as to those in the developing world so identifying what a child's needs are at the point of us assisting plays a pivotal role in our assistance. 

6)Do you think your a true representation of a today's woman if yes/no explain

I feel i am a true inspiration and representation of a today's woman in that I am a career woman with a full time job, a mother, a wife and an active charity campaigner, knowing how to balance all these attributes without neglecting the other and still have time to yourself.

7)Name one thing you just cant leave the house without?

I can not leave my house without my lip gloss as people will always look at your face when identifying you and always ready to listen to you and i feel my lips are a shining true representation of me.

8)How can anyone from the other side of the world learn more about you and what you stand for?

Our activities are well documented in whatever we do and transparency has got us to where we are. We are on facebook as Mumba Children's project, twitter and Linked in and our website is undergoing a redevelopment and will soon be up for everyone to follow and read up on all our activities. 

9)Describe your fashion sense?

A true compatriot will always theme her dressing according to occassion so my fashion sense  goes with the occassion but otherwise very smart casual

10)If you had the power to change one thing in this world what would it be and why?

One thing i would love to change would be to let governments especially in the third world provide just basic needs to their citizens: housing,clean water, atleast able to afford basic foods, proper medical facilities and basic education to every child. These are fundamental to ones's well being

11)What music would bring you on the dance floor to shake your booty?

I am a traditional but modern woman so African music gives me back the groove and some pop music too Alexandra Burke gets me on the dance floor in a flash

12)Do you think enough is being done toward to assist 3 world countries?

Yes and no. Yes the help is done and you can see some improvement but you hear of most of this donated fund ending up in people's pockets and there is a chain of people to pay before the theintended recepients get it.

So if smaller charities could also be given enough grants to do most of the projects instead of giving it to governments there would be a remarkable improvement in the societies.

My other worry is there are some very rich people in the third world that do not want to share with the under priviledged. Should we leave this to the west only? We should cultivate the culture of giving us people in the diaspora too. If you can afford to change your wardrobe every season then there are charities like us that collect second hand clothing and give it to the under priviledged. Let us know and we will come and collect -you will be doing your bit by clearing your wardrobe to give room to your new wardrobe

13)If you was given £1 million pounds to give to 3 charities which ones would you give to and why?

I would give it  to under priviledged children's charities and children's hospitals. Children are very vulnerable in that they are helpless and cannot fend for themselves. The children's hospitals so children can access better services and reduce mortality rate and thirdly i would give it to Breast and cervical cancer charities for more research in how to combat the dreaded cancers and also offer support to the cancer victims/survivors

14)How can we learn if a charity is real or fake?

A charity should be properly registered, transparent and invite everyone to come and see what they do and participate in the charity's activities. They should show exactly what they do if not then it is a fake.

15)If you were to walk the red carpet at an event which designer would you love to wear and why?

Kosibah designs he knows how to sculpt every woman's figure in his gowns secondly it would be Stella's designs in Africa her work is bespoke, authentic hand done sequins and beads in her designs is her speciality.

16)If you had to prepare a meal for the Fashion Police Reporters what would you prepare for them?

Grilled spicy chicken with greens and mealie pap called 'nsima' with gravy and desert would be fresh mangoes and water melon to wash your palates

17)If you was given 2 tickets to attend any event in the uk which 2 would you be attending and why?

It will have to be a Leona Lewis concert her modulated voice is out of this world and she is down to earth with a good personality

Secondly it would be Dancing on Ice -the skill of mixing skating and dancing at the same time just does it for me and keeps me glued to the chair watching.

18)What makes a man a true gentleman in your own words?

A man who can never lay a finger on the woman, a true confidante who will not betray your emotions and 'keeps the toilet seat down'

19)What are a few things you see some women do that is just not lady like?

-Who in their right minds wants to show their bits to public it is unpalatable we all have them so cover up and you will still look sexy 

-Chewing gum in public and oh no asking for lip gloss from a friend!

20)What are your thoughts on the Fashion Police News Report Blog?

Have always been a 'secret admirer of Professor's' work so the Fashion police blog  just is worth visiting and reading as it keeps you in shape on what /what not to do or wear. 

21)Any last words to our blog

Be real and true to yourself people will respect you for that. Politeness and being respectful never killed anyone. Thanks for featuring me.

Director of Mumba Children's project

 I am second time married to Ian for 11 years, we have just celebrated our anniversay on New years eve in the Lake District , he is my soulmate and without him i wouldn't be whole

6)Are you a true representation of a today's woman?

Ans( I like to think so, I think women today do have a hard time in the way we look, what we do, and where we fit in in the corporate world, but i do think that we are a force to be reckoned with now as we too want the career and the lifestyle, if you are talking more of the fashion industry then no i am not as i am a full figured woman and not a size zero that is just wrong on all levels...From the earliest moment in time, women have been represented in the world of magazines. During the pre-revolutionary era women were represented in the press. The world of magazines is known for the social changes that are made. When you consider the role of the media and its representation concerning women, today we have a serious problem with not only fashion models, but also women in every walk of life. Why? The representation of thin women leads to serious eating disorders ranging from anorexia or bulimia. Many teenagers starve themselves to have the "thin" bodies they want. Certainly, the representation of women in magazines affects teenagers and woman of all ages.

7)Which other make up artist in the uk do you look up to?if any

 Lisa Eldridge, she has what we say in the industry 'Made it" working for vogue, elle and top editorials and celebrities..I certainly think that she was in the right place at the right time, and that her work i very much the style that i follow...

8)What do you love most of the job you do?

 Seeing the transformations that occurs right before your eyes, and knowing that when you see your work in editorials and on the big screen that it is you that has been partly responsible for how it evolved...i also love the buzz and the hectic shenanigans that come hand in hand with this industry..

9)If you had the chance to do the make up of 3 people who would they be and why?

 Princess Kate, I just love her simplicity and down to earth personality, and boy would that look good on my CV.  I would have loved to have worked on Marilyn Monroe, not only do i love the fifties era, but she was a true icon for the beautiful voluptuous woman, and boy would she have a story to tell..One of my favorite actresses is Julia Roberts and i don't want it to seem a cliche, and i know that sometimes when you are asked a question like this you are really put on the spot because there are hundreds of women that i would like to and have liked to work with so yes Julia Roberts is one of them..

10)Please save 4 tips for women when buying make up?

 Oh Boy the makeup industry is a mind-field now, so much choice and variety, and there are some great brands out there from prestige to economy, but if i was to offer any advice when buying makeup is, 
Tip one, always check the ingredients list as many economy brands have some terrible nasties in them from animal and human bi-products, yes that is so true..
Second tip, When looking for best makeup brands, don’t just take it because the product description sounds good and expensive. Remember that not all that glitters are gold. Sometimes, they just produce enticing ads to market their products. 
Tip no 3 Search for a tested or renowned make up brand that is compatible with your skin type. 
Tip no 4, Search for the right makeup based on your allotted budget

11)What music makes you run to the dance floor to shake your booty?

 I love lots of music, from ballads to rock and dance, so anything with a great beat....Oh i do like a smooch too..!

 I think its great , we need variations on what people like and dislike, tips and trick's, this is what makes our industry so diverse as we all see thing from a different perspective, so a big up for Fashion Police...

13)What makes a man a real man?

, His ability to make us laugh, and a man that is in touch with his feminine side is so attractive to women, also i always look at his shoes that says a lot about his style and that is also important to me as a woman

14)What goes through your mind at times when you see some women make up have them looking like chucky?

 Well let me tell you i have seen plenty of women that i have felt the urge to take a wet wipe to lol, But being the diplomat sometimes it is best left alone as no matter what you say would fall on deaf ears..

15)Describe your fashion sense?

 Comfortable haha, Long gone are the days of squeezing into an outfit because the label says size 14...I love to dress in what makes me feel god and comfortable at the same time, i do tend to stick to black and that can sometimes be a little boring, but you can always gurantee being safe so when all else fails, black and simple is the winner for me.

16)Do you think your sexy?

 Yes of course, truth be known every woman is sexy in her own right, we have so much to offer.

21)If you was given £100 to shop in 2 stores where would you go and why?

Ans) Before i had my own network marketing business with my own products i would have shopped in Mac, one because it is considered to be what the professionals use and i can say they do have some great products and with being a pro i do get a pro discount, the second would have to be sally's hair & beauty supplies for all my consumables....

22)What is one thing people may say about you that you have heard and its not true?

 I can't really say that i have had anyone say anything bad about me..I suppose i have been very fortunate in that way, my motto is keep your head down, do good job, be nice and you will not acquire many enemies, only the ones that wish they were as good as you.. 

23)How do you keep up with all the trends?

With the internet it is merely impossible not to keep up with the recent trends, Media is full of it and if you keep tuned in you will never fail to know whats in and whats so last year, trends & style has a habit of repeating itself and re-inventing itself too, so if you look back over the years many looks are a repeat of what was in style back then and we have many resources and guru's that we can follow.
