Conversation
with M I S S M E G AV E R S E 2 0 1 9 Aliona Chitoroaga of Moldova
By Saif Rahman Sozib
1. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
incredible world. I wish we would care more about our nature.
I think we live in a wonderful world, but unfortunately, some of us are not grateful enough for what we have and take things for granted. It seems like we don't appreciate the life we have and don’t value the people around us until we lose it. That's why, if I could make it possible, I would globally spread a massive ray of LOVE, because just loving all around us unconditionally would make us more compassionate and empathetic with the greatest gift we got, our
That’s really heartbreaking to see the amounts of plastic destroying the oceans, and all the non-biodegradable waste in the environment, without being conserved and reused, all the unresponsive consumption of natural resources. If we loved our planet and ourselves more, we would not make fires to burn the waste, which endangers people and the environment. The factories would work on the principle of producing as less smoke. Also, we wouldn’t be the cause of
climate-changing. If we were endowed with more love, there wouldn't be abandoned children in orphanages and lonely sick elderly in nursing homes worldwide. There wouldn’t be no hungry cats and dogs in the streets, and hunting for fun wouldn’t exist in the world. With more love, we wouldn’t have violence in families, violence in the world, slavery, wars, and revenge, but would be just Peace, Happiness, and Harmony. Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
2. What is your idea of happiness and success?
My definition of happiness is ... To appreciate the privilege of being alive, the simple fact that we woke up today, we had the chance to see any kind of weather, the ability to breathe, to feel the taste of our favorite meal, to hear the song of the birds or noise from the streets, and of course, to feel the warmth of our beloved ones when they hug us making us feel safe and
secure, cause Happiness is enjoying the little things in life. Happiness is not just a positive or pleasant emotion ranging from contentment to intense joy but is a state of wellbeing of soul and mind together. Happiness is when, what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Albert Schweitzer said, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are
Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
doing, you will be successful,� and I totally agree with him cause the peaks of success can bring you a spark of happiness, but if you don't share it with the beloved ones, that doesn't really matter. And when you love what you do, success is guaranteed because you are doing it with all your heart, and it keeps you strong and motivated despite the obstacles. Happiness is just inside of us, not anywhere else.
3. How do you plan to contribute to society after won Miss Megaverse 2019?
The crown of Miss Megaverse 2019 will not change me as a person because I always try to be useful to society. But definitely, the title gave me more publicity, and I got more opportunities to raise my voice for the things I stand for. Recently I had an interview at the national Tv of Moldova, and I took
a chance to talk about my values and beliefs and to share my ideas about ecology, reducing plastic usage, and to promote a healthy lifestyle. I would like to use my new status to make this world a better place and to continue my work with charity organizations. 4. What have you learned from this competition?
From this competition, I learned that to win, you
Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
have to challenge your limits because, actually, the only limits are the ones in our own minds! This competition is not the regular beauty pageant where you have to smile nicely and just to perform well on the stage. No, this competition is for the girls with strong personalities with multiskills and multitalents who are performing at the highest level of self-development.
I convinced myself one more time that I came into this world with a big mission and that I'm able to do it, the mission is to spread happiness and to empower the girls and women around me of being strong mentally and physically, very ambitious and confident, with a height placed goals, but after all not to forget to be feminine, empathetic, an d very friendly. I learned that if you really want to achieve your goals, and if you are ready to work hard for this, that's really possible to get it. But an essential thing is not to forget to behave with dignity and to be sincere and friendly and to stay a human because at the end of the day it only matters what kind of impression you left in people's hearts and lives after they met you and if you were able to build relationships. 5. Who is the most inspiring person in your life, and how?
My role model is the
same as for most of us, is my Mother, I'm a piece of her soul, and she always gives the best to me. As she dedicated all her life to helping others, she taught me that everything I'm doing, I should do with all my heart and that I should treat people around me the same way I want to be threatened. Every small thing which you are doing with kindness will make a big difference in the world. She never lost her femininity, kindness, elegance, and determination through the years, my mother is the best role model for me and my biggest inspiration. 6. What is the role of the internet or social networking sites on the youth?
The Internet had been such a resourceful thing for everybody, including me. Most young people hardly remember the times when there was no internet.
Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
Social media connects billions of devices, it's allowing us to communicate with each other across the globe, but unfortunately, very often, young people don't realize where to put the borders of difference between social media and real life. In fact, the overuse of the internet and social media in teenager's life has been presented a considerable risk to develop mental health problems such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, and even a risk of suicide. I'm adept at the idea that social media and the internet are instrumental nowadays and can be a fantastic platform to communicate and to express yourself, but we shouldn’t forget it’s just a mirror of reality, not the reality by itself. I’m personally trying to control the time I spend using social media not to skip the beauty of presence in a moment.
7. What is the biggest mistake you have ever made in your life? What have you done to overcome it?
I genuinely believe that it is in human nature to make mistakes, and I’m not an exception. I used to make the same mistake constantly, and I feel it’s important to share my experience because it can help someone. I didn't take my life seriously, I wasted my time for worthless things, and I didn’t pay enough attention to beloved ones and didn’t give them as much love as I could.
But now things have been changed, and I transformed my mistakes to strength and grew up psychologically. I have changed my priorities, and now I live in harmony with myself. I learned to appreciate all I have, to say sorry, to love myself first, and to forgive myself because mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before. 8. How can you differentiate Moldovan fashion, compare to the rest of the other world?
Moldovan fashion is very
Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
different. The masterpieces are always in demand. It’s a very creative and interesting mix of national traditional floral folk embroidery and modern style. For instance, the sleeves of any jackets can be easily unstrapped. They always have a unique cut, bright colors, and interesting fabrics. Moldovan designers are ruining all the stereotypes with their incredible style. Moldovan women are always fashionable and stylish. By looking at them, you recognize the total must-have in the wardrobe.
9. There is a group of people who does not support the concept of beauty contests. What will you tell them?
I completely understand the reasons, but I’m sure that they would change their mind if they knew that some contests present a modern definition of beauty and values women’s rights and giving a platform to let the young people grow, they would change their mind. Miss Megaverse as an excellent example of a contest that doesn’t objectives the beauty but promoting the ideas of women’s empowerment and humanity. Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
10. Are you involved in any Charity work organization? If yes, then how it contributes to social & economic change?
I believe that helping others in need is the best gift to humanity. We are here to bring happiness and to help less fortunate people. Usually, I don't like to talk loud about my acts of charity, because I do it from my heart, and there is no place for praise. But I believe that some people
can learn from my experience and we can do more important good things when we are united. I work with various nonprofit organizations in my country, and I help people who need it the most. I'm a member of “Adopt an elder,” and I took the responsibility to donate monthly to help poor, lonely, and abandoned old people. It’s a serious issue in my country because old people are forgotten and live in poverty.
Miss Megaverse Personal Archives
Also, I'm a volunteer at Red Cross Moldova, and I've been participating in the education of the community about providing first aid. Also, I’m a part of an educational program for children about sex trafficking prevention and STD. I’m aiming to involve more people with the projects I do because I believe that even small acts of kindness can change the world, and every contribution counts and makes a difference.

Yana Flame Interview with the multiaward winner and famous Worldwide Artist Yana Flame. Designer Yana Flame Queen Couture and Executive Producer of Flame International Fashion and Art Festival. ‘Always thinking positively is the most successful way to a bright future. - Yana, how can you manage to be successful and always be on TOP?
Being a successful businesswoman nowadays has become more popular, but it’s not as easy as everyone thinks! I DON'T JUST DREAM ABOUT IT, I PUT IN FRONT OF ME UNREALISTIC GOALS, AND I GO AND GET THEM WITH VIGOUR. AFTER EACH NEW STEP AND ACHIEVEMENT, I ALWAYS SAY: "THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING, A GREAT FUTURE AWAITS ME.“
To be honest, at first, It’s a lot of hard work, you must invest all your time and energy into your goals, but the main thing is you must believe very strongly in yourself and follow your dreams. I will say from personal experience as a person who has begun from the bare bones of life and eventually succeeded with my dreams. I have not only versatile talents but a very strong faith in myself and my Success! A truly purposeful person is one for whom there are no barriers - Unstoppable me - 'so everyone calls me.’ I don't know the meaning of the impossible. Impossible =I’M POSSIBLE!!! IF YOU CAN'T GET WHAT YOU WANT EVEN IF YOU HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES, NEVER GIVE UP! IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK CHANGE THE STRATEGY BUT NOT YOUR GOAL. -
Is it true you have two different sides to your character?
Yes, one side is my creative talents, and my other side is my strong determination to be successful in business. It’s very hard to sacrifice one side for the other. Like my real wishes are what I want to do and another what I must to do. I mean my wishes about my art and design, when your soul is flying you want to create nonstop crazy outlandish masterpieces. On my business side, I have so much responsibility to invest so much time and energy when I am Organizing Flame festivals to support young creative talents, and it’s like I am split into two different people with two different Powers. On one side, I am a soft romantic impressive dreamer and creator with a calm and warm burning flame inside me, and the other is strong, indestructible, unstoppable, fiercely determined with strong, crazy lightning storm energy inside me.
- Tell us a bit about your creative side?
I am an artist and fashion designer, my brand "Yana Flame Couture" has existed for several years in London and is now known and recognized internationally. I have taken part in international competitions and showcased my creative talent in art and fashion on big stages in many countries. I always was a creative person since childhood. I did a lot of drawing and made dresses for all my dolls and helped my friends with advice in their style of clothing that I thought would suit them best. In my family, my grandmother was a fur tailor, my mother created and made all her outfits from patterns from the magazine Burda. Growing up in a creative family has helped me to become the creative
artist that I am today. I learned and studied from them, I have them to thank for my current genius. - How did you start your carrier as an artist?
When I moved to the UK 6 years ago, all my creativity was bursting out of my heart and all my creative skills I gained since childhood came at the right time for me to express myself. I created a lot of handcrafted gifts for my friends, family, and clients. I did a lot of painted artworks and organized so many art exhibitions. I have plenty of private clients around the world who ask me to create a unique painting for them. What inspired you to start your career as a fashion designer? Why do you create mainly evening dresses?
In London, traditionally, there are a lot of high-
class Balls. I get very inspired when I visited my first big Russian Ball in London; I have seen so many beautiful ball gowns. This was my inspiration. My first big step and great motivation came in 2017. I did create and tailored with my hands my first bespoke collection of evening dresses Bohemian Dreams in spring and showcased them in Rome Fashion week were more than 120 designers from around the world were present. My collection was awarded 6th place in the Alta Moda category. It was the best memorable and motivational success in my life at the start of my art and fashion career. During 2017, I did create 5 different style collections from embroidered lingerie, casual creative day wear up to haute couture dresses, and showcased them around the world so many times.

How did you go from fashion designer to become an event festival organizer?
The idea began after a successful experience in Rome, where I became so motivated to organize events personal to me as projects. In the Autumn of 2017, I successfully organized my first project Festival Slavic Fashion Fill Rouge in Paris, and then in the summer of 2018, I did my second event in Italy, International festival Italy Edition. At the end of 2018, I put together my first production of my own Flame International Fashion and Art Festival in London.
In the last year in the city of London, I held 3 more very successful editions of FIFAF19. I cannot believe what I have achieved so far, and I am so very proud. I have already showcased 6 editions of Flame international festivals! Many people, hundreds of participants from over 50 countries, have attended my festival projects. “It’s unbelievable! I am really so very proud of myself ”. - Tell us about the Flame Festival, please.
Flame Festival is a young and ambitious project getting bigger and better each new season. The project was created to support young talents from the sphere of Fashion and Art. The festival always brought together our creative team and many participants from different nationalities from around the world: designers, artists of different singers and dancers, celebrities, and international VIP guests.
- Yana, why did you decide to create this project?
I was inspired to create Flame as I intended to help young and unknown talents because I know from my own experience how difficult it is to break through when you are alone. Without support, without the finances and other factors, but you have your main treasure - this is your talent - a priceless gift that God gave to you since birth; this is why the world needs you to push forward towards your dream. I want to help make these dreams come true. CONSTANTLY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN ALL THINGS BUT NOT IN THEMSELVES, THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE.
Unfortunately, many talented people for various reasons do not have enough confidence and assertiveness to achieve their goals. I realized that my mission was to bring young and unknown gifted people into the limelight. I decided to put together all the creative talents that I possess into one platform, called "Flame," and to allow an opportunity for like-minded creative people to take the first step towards success and achieve something more in their life. - What are your plans forward?
I am so excited about futures projects 2020 it’s my year, and I have so many projects. I will create some projects
of course in London, also new projects coming in Marbella Spain, 8-9 of May and 3-4 July Marbella Puerto Banus. Italy, and Dubai, and other countries this year as well. I want to bring the name of Flame to be more known worldwide and do my productions in other countries. Also, I will have more time to concentrate on my art and design and will soon have a fantastic collection of Artwork and New Bespoke Design. https://www.facebook.co m/FlameFashionArtFestiv alEn/ For apply please contact: flamefashionandartfest@g mail.com

Usually, this includes a dressing gown and slippers for the fitting day, two pairs of high heels, closed-toe shoes one pair cream and one pair of black, a simple black dress and black leggings.

Picture painting is but one of the many ways to tell a story. I painted this for a client perhaps 35 years ago. His instructions were, make it simple, make it obvious, and make it pirate. Ed Morales Email: deselarom@olypen.com

I began painting this piece in 1987 while in Chicago. Prior to this assignment, my family and I worked and lived near Seattle. The Northwest became our home in many ways. We later retired near Seattle. I applied a few finishing touches this month. Ed Morales
