Leann Simon is Miss Point Fortin 2005. Leann, who was
earlier adjudged winner of the "Pointalive.com People’s
Choice" was also the popular choice amongst patrons on the
night of the show, which was held at the Point Fortin Senior
Secondary School on Friday 29th April.
Directed by Arthur Lewis, the show featured performances by
former Image & Co. vocalist, Kees
Dieffenthaller, local folk choir Maisha Zuri,
comedian Damien Melville, the
Clico Shiv Shakti dancers & others.
From the word go, support
for Simon was most evident, with
about half the entire audience cheering her on. Some of her
fans even walked with placards which happened to be unusual
for a show of this nature.

Kereen Mohammed and Tessa King
were the first and second runner-up respectively.
Earlier, there were some
disappointments as the show was totally sold out and scores
of would-be patrons had to be turned back because they were
not in possession of tickets.
Pointalive.com
understands that Fire Services personnel warned the pageant
organizers about overcrowding. This led to the
decision not to allow persons without pre-paid tickets
entry. This was a shift in procedure from previous
years.
Pointalive.com spoke to Leann
after the show and had five questions for her.
Five questions for Leann
Now
that you have won the pageant, is there anyone you would
like thank?
Most definitely, I would really like to thank my all
my supporters including my WASA colleagues.
Do
you think that having prior knowledge of winning the
“Pointalive.com People’s Choice” boosted your confidence?
Absolutely! Having prior knowledge of winning the
Pointalive.com prize and the overwhelming support from fans
contributed a lot to my confidence boost.
I must admit that I was surprised at the support received.
What,
in your opinion, contributed the most to your victory?
The support I received boosted my confidence which
contributed to me not making any mistakes on stage.
Prior
to the show, you stated that your mother was the person you
most admired; was she there to witness your victory?
Most present, she even came on stage after the
announcement was made. I was happy.
What's
next for Leann?
I intend to enter the Miss Trinidad & Tobago Pageant and
continue in the fashion industry. I view this pageant as
being the beginning of things to come.
