Subject: Leilani was queen for the night !

Anyone present at the "Eye on Fashion" show at the Hilton Kingston Hotel in Jamaica will readily agree that Leilani McConney, Miss Barbados 2000/2001, stole the hearts of those who were in attendance. Her vibrant personality coupled with her effervescent charm as she modelled each outfit on stage, made her an instant crowed favorite.

Leilani, who is 19years old ,now has her eyes set on representing her country at the 2001 Miss Universe Pageant to be held in Puerto Rico later this year.

Her stage appearance and modelling ability could easily land her on the catwalks of either Milan, Paris, or New York. However for Leilani, her love for figures has gotten the better part of her,and so she has opted to study Banking and International Finance in Switzerland.
"Although I've won this beauty contest and have done a few modelling assignments, I have not given modelling any serious thought,as I was always interested in Banking,"said Leilani,shortly after the show.

Leilani comes from a family of former beauty queens and fashion designers. The gown she wore in the Miss World 2000 pageant and on the runway of Saturday nights show could be aptly described as a "family affair".

It was a sequined white gown encrusted at the bodice and hem with see shells her father collected along the beach near her home. Her father designed her gown, while her aunt,Marina Whorme created it. The tiara that accompanied the gown was worn by her cousin ,Miss Barbados 1984.
Befor rushing off to the "The Queens Party"in the Jonkanoo Lounge,Leilani, noted that Jamaica is a beautiful country and that there are similarities between her homeland and here.
