Vanessa Leach

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My family makes me laugh. I have 3 older brothers. Two of my brothers live abroad so we are unable to be with each other as often as we’d like. When we do get together, we act like kids! We have tickly fights and tease each other mercilessly!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My fingers are unusual. They are abnormally long. My pinky is almost the length of the average person’s index finger! Even though my fingers are extremely long, I love the way they look with multiple rings. Some rings look better on my fingers, simply because they are so long!

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
To stay healthy, I drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. I live near the beach in beautiful Nassau Bahamas. I enjoy an invigorating run along the shoreline. The fresh, crisp sea breeze helps to clear my mind and makes me feel relaxed.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My favorite item is my ‘ Hoodie’. I find it ironic that it says New York, since I purchased it in Florida. It's my favorite because it’s warm. I wear a size small and the jacket is XXL. I like to say it's made for comfort not style!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
If I was given $500.00 I would spend $100.00 on a pair of shoes for myself. I would use the remaining $400.00 to purchase clothes for the little children at my favorite charity - The Children's Emergency Hostel in Nassau, Bahamas. Every child deserves to feel and look beautiful!
