You may remember Lesa-Gayle Milan Wee Tom aka “Milan” from BET’s College Hill South Beach. The Jamaican beauty queen recently passed through Atlanta for a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Derek Blanks. Red Carpet Shelley spent some time behind the scenes with her.
Last month, this aspiring Caribbean Queen was a favorite going into the coveted 2010 Miss Jamzone International title. She won the title and now has her full attention on claiming the 2010 Miss International crown when she represents Jamaica in the memorable 50th anniversary pageant event in Chengdu, China on November 7. Milan told RCS that she is very excited about visiting China and is “very, very competitive and won’t stop until I get to where exactly want to be”. Milan is of Asian descent and has family in Chengdu, China where the competition will be held. She is looking forward to possibly seeing her extended family including her grandfather.
Milan has been pictured all over the internet with her rumored beau Usain Bolt. I asked Milan about their relationship and she described him as “amazing” and their relationship as “very good friends..I really enjoy his company, we’re just having a good time”. Hmmmm…. sorry didn’t get much more than that….
Milans goal is to one day give Oprah a run for her money in addition to opening an orphanage for children born with birth defects. This s also her pageant community platform and an important cause she passionately advocates for. Milan would also like to return to television, but this time as the host of her own TV show. She also desires to launch her own make-up and clothing line, which should come pretty natural to her, since she already designs her own amazing pageant gowns. Milan also wants to become a contestant on the popular Dancing With The Stars series. Maybe we will see her bust some wicked whine! Yeah, I like that idea we need to hear some Sean Paul, Lady Saw and Gyptian on Dancing with the Stars!!!
Remember to watch Lyme Tyme with Red Carpet Shelley for the full interview with Milan!
