I value loyalty in both my male and female friends Crystal Aming is the daughter of Carnival great, Neville Aming. In 2011 she will celebrate a decade of solo Carnival design with her designs being part of Young Upwardly Mobile Adults' (YUMA's) Carnival 2011 presentation — Zodeak. A proud mother, Aming hopes to pass on her creativity to her loving son who, along with her father, continues to be her source of inspiration. In addition to Carnival costume design, Aming also flies with Caribbean Airlines and freelances in costume design for other events. Most recently, one of her designs helped international model Daphne Narveaz, who also modelled for YUMA, cop a final spot in a swimsuit competition in Las Vegas. Crystal took a few moments out of her hectic schedule to answer this week's 21 questions.
