PREVIOUS PAGEANT EXPERIENCE
Does interviewing 200 pageant girls and creating 100 pageant podcast episodes count? I also wrote a couple of tome-sized books (aka 'Confessions of a Pageant Queen' Vols 1 & 2).
DAY JOB
The above takes up all of my waking hours (and some of my sleeping hours too).
BIGGEST PAGEANT TIP
Know yourself. Everyone says 'be yourself', but how can you BE yourself if you don't KNOW yourself?
BIGGEST CAREER TIP
Stop asking for so much advice and seeking so much validation. It paralyses you. Learn to get moving and adjust as you go instead.
BIGGEST BEAUTY TIP
As cheesy as it sounds, 'beauty' comes from within. You might be physically attractive, but if you're a nasty piece of work, you're not beautiful in my books.
FAVOURITE DESIGNER
Whoever designed Nadia Sayers' national costume for Miss Universe.
TEA OR COFFEE?
Coffee all day long. The reason I can't give up coffee is that tea is so poor by comparison.
SWEET OR SAVOURY?
Savoury.
CELEBRITY CRUSH?
Ryan Reynolds. Catchphrase.
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?
I get random impulses to do strange things all the time. One such time I had the sudden urge to jump as high as I could. So I did. I didn't realise I was standing in a door frame at the time. My head has never been the same since.
