And I'm back! After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back in the blogosphere, bringing you the latest in Caribbean Fashion and Life/Style - a la 'Au Courant in the Caribbean' mode.
So we've been tracking Ms. T&T/Universe 2008/09 Anya Ayoung-Chee from her pageant selection earlier on this year, to her appearance on the ramp at the recently concluded Fashion Week T&T, (I'll have some belated pics of the finale for you by tomorrow) and now to her departure to Vietnam for the 57th Miss Universe Competition.
On a side note, every time I think about Ayoung-Chee being a 'Callalloo Trini' - as Fashion Scion Peter Elias recently described her - I can't help but think that the selection of an Asian looking Ms. T&T was a strategic choice, keeping in mind where the pageant is being held this year! All in all, she's proven to be quite the classy chick, in terms of her style and demeanor, and I give her hats off for proudly sporting that big ol' tattoo on her abdomen...
Looking absolutely fantastic as a jaunty modern-day sailor, here she is posing in a Newsday TT photo with her national costume designer, the ever talented, 'I'm not trying to be Minshall' carnival band leader, Brian MacFarlane. I'm crossing my fingers for her, hoping that her class extends far beyond her appearance and would give her the edge with those gnarly Q&A's.
On behalf of all the subscribers and readers here at AuC, I wish Anya all the best!
L.M.N. Harris.
