Melissa Rose Deedy - Top Ten

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
Among a number of foods, pizza is my favorite food because it tastes and smells fabulous. You can also make it healthy, homemade, to go, or even a dessert! Overall you can never go wrong with pizza!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
We all know the classic answer “April 25th all you need is a light sweater” while that is true my idea of a perfect date is just driving around town and listening to our favorite songs on the radio.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
To me every weekend is an adventure whether that is going on a road trip, spending time with friends, or volunteering. It’s always an experience waiting to happen. One thing is for sure, I always go to church on Sundays no matter what I’m doing throughout the week or weekend.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
The last time I went shopping was at the mall for my best friend’s birthday! I went to many different stores including the Disney Store since my best friend and I are both Disney nerds. (PS: he loved his birthday present!)

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I do think makeup is important, as a dancer and theater kid and someone who is grown up on stage, I know how important it is to bring out your natural beauty when a bunch of bright lights are hitting. Make up enhances your beauty and it’s very useful especially when you’re on the stage.
