A week in Mexico!

My first time in Mexico was a great adventure! I don't like to do anything typical, or pre-determined. I've never gone to Mexico for spring break, or an all inclusive vaca.

I spent my first 2 days in Juarez, a lively border city, known for its corruption and riots. The city is under constant survellance, with many military guards, police, and machine guns. I stayed at friend's home and started learning my first Spanish words.

More to come on my flight to Monterrey, San Juaguin, The Apolos Frontenis tournament, and Miss Mexico 2010!

Miss Earth Canada 2010

This August I had the delightful honour of being crowned Miss Earth Canada 2010!!

Define "TYPICAL" - Pageant Girl goes Fish Surveying

From pageants and parties to... National Scientific Fishing Survey Boats?!
My newest adventure ;) So very excited about it!

From October 11- 22 I will be on a ship off the coast of South New England. The Autumn bottom trawl survey takes place near Georges Bank and this year I will be on the NOAA survey ship. The objective is to capture a representative sample of the various species and relative numbers of fish in a given area.

We will be towing in, weighing, counting and measuring all species caught. We will be looking at age, sex, and state of sexual maturity. Stomach contents are identified and any obvious disease-related conditions of the fish are recorded. The entire data series is available to fishery scientists wishing to examine trends in abundance, distribution, species associations, or numerous other scientific questions. These surveys provide indices of juvenile abundance, which can indicate strong year classes before fish are vulnerable to commercial or recreational fisheries. Research surveys assess the status of a stock over its entire distribution range, not just in small areas of commercial or recreational concern. Surveys also provide data to help monitor the processes of growth, maturity, predation, and mortality of a stock as well as trophic dynamics of fish communities.

I'll keep you posted about my journeys aboard the NOAA Henry Bigelow

NINIMOMO

At the 2010 Barbie convention I had the pleasure of meeting the designers of NINIMOMO!
Such talent and creativity

Nik and Marie are extremely talented and amazingly down to earth. Their designs are intricate and delicate. They are capable of anything and taking the doll world, and pageant world, by storm!

From Ninimomo's lady gaga inspired designs, to prince, to their official 2010 barbie convention souvenir rocker doll. Ninimomo has it all covered. I had the pleasure of speaking with Marie and Nik at length while in Cleveland. Our love for dolls, pageants, and sparkle instantly bonded us :)

An honour to know you both.
