This will promote their educational programme which is dedicated to sharing HOPE for recovery from this developmental disorder.
MBW: What has been your most memorable sunny day?
CHACONIA My most memorable sunny day was the announcement of Barack Obama becoming the first Black President of the United State of America. My mother and I followed the election coverage until the big announcement. I was overwhelmed with emotions and tears of joy rolled down my cheeks.
MBW: If you were invited to participate in the 2010 Italian Fashion Week which international designer would you like to dress you?
CHACONIA I love DSquared2 or Custo Barcelona but I admire the designs from Jared Gold. I saw his designs on the Americas Next Top Model Cycle 6, Episode 4, where the models’ challenge was to wear his pieces with eccentric accessories that surprised everyone, bedazzled Madagascar cockroaches. I like that his pieces are very innovative and the pieces connected to my sense of style, sophisticated but it has its own “swag” to it.
MBW: Tell us about your favorite liming spot.
CHACONIA I don’t exactly have a specific liming spot. I enjoy long drives with my closest friends, listening to music and enjoying the beautiful scenery. These moments calm my soul while I day dream in my “own world”.
MBW: What has been your most embarrassing moment? Describe it.
CHACONIA Lol … I cannot believe I am being asked this question. I can recall going to a family picnic where I was at Bath Beach. At that time the beach was experiencing bad current. A tide came from nowhere, and pushed me over when I was trying to avoid it. I tripped over a tree root and fell on my side like a slow motion movie. Everyone laughed and was shocked that only my right side of my dress was wet after the huge tide passed.
MBW: What facial products do you use?
CHACONIA I use Simple Cleansing Lotion and Vitamin E oil.
MBW: Do you diet, work out or just wing it?
CHACONIA I prefer not to use the term “diet”, but I monitor how I eat in a healthy, natural way along with plenty of exercise.
MBW: What is your X factor?
CHACONIA My X factor is challenging myself in an area that I never thought I would be in a position to experience for example this competition.
MBW: What is your personal style?
CHACONIA It varies, I can portray a sophisticated, posh and confident look like Victoria Beckham, or have a bit of a bad girl “swag” like Rihanna.
MBW: What is your weakness if any?
CHACONIA I think I am too trusting.
MBW: Where will the Miss Barbados World judges score you highest: interview, talent, swimsuit or gown presentation
CHACONIA I hope to perform well in all areas, but I think I will score the highest in my interview and my gown presentation.
MBW: Why should you be crowned Miss Barbados World 2010?
CHACONIA Due my various backgrounds: being a past member of the Barbados Cadet Corp, a volunteer with the RSPCA from the early age of twelve, a member of an amazing modeling agency, and currently a member of the Constituency Council where I hope to represent the opinions of the youth of my country, I know I am eligible to be the ideal contestant to wear this crown. My strong character and abilities to accept people, for who they are, despite their race, their cultures or religion, would qualify me to be an Ambassador, not only for my country but to represent others throughout the world.
MBW: What message you would like to send to the other Miss Barbados World contestants?
CHACONIA What can I say….it is a competition; however, I keenly anticipate building new relationships and experiencing this once in a lifetime opportunity with you as a life changing process for we are the young women of this generation who will make a difference in the eyes of our country. We are all role models.
