That’s how high Anabel Gil, our candidate for the Carnival Queen at this year’s Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival, has set her goal. One year more and we at Depilación Láser Canarias are as determined as Anabel to support this island’s important events. We’ve chosen to collaborate with the fiesta which thousands of Grand-Canarians enjoy and in particular one of the major events to take part in this island’s capital.

Anabel, who is already part of our “family” has been kind enough to answer a few questions so that we can all get to know her better.

1. What lies behind your decision to be a candidate? Have you at any time regretted this decision specially in the light of what might be coming your way?

I love new adventures and challenges, but above all it’s because I feel very close to this Gala in particular. I’ve been trying for a few years to get this far and now that I have, I’ll make the most of it, give it my all and do the best I can.

I never regret the things I do and in this case even less so. I don’t consider the Gala to be a competition but as an event where the focus is on having fun and enjoying the wonderful spectacle.

2. Doesn’t the responsibility of getting up on stage at the Gala, one of the island’s most important events, frighten you?

Not only doesn’t it frighten me, it delights me as it’s a dream come true. Maybe the only thing that scares me is letting down the people who have backed me, from the team at Depilación Láser Canarias, without whom I wouldn’t be here, to my friends and family especially my 15 month old baby girl who imitates me when she hears the music which will be played during my performance.

I want all of them to feel happy and content with my role in the Gala, so the pressure to do well becomes a great motivation to give them a 100 percent.

3. We know that you can’t give away any details about the costume you’ll be wearing designed by Miguel Cruz, but tell us, are you comfortable with it and in it?

Absolutely yes. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and heard its name: Lágrimas del Sol (The Sun’s tears). I can’t give anything away but I will tell you that I’m very proud to wear it. I hope to wear it as well as it deserves.

4. From our Facebook page, Bianca Cartafiore y Esmeralda Marto ask about what kind of physical preparation you’ve done to wear such a large and heavy costume for the Gala.

I’ve always played sports and I try to keep in shape, so I haven’t specifically done anything extra for the event. I don’t usually diet as I like my food, specially something sweet from time to time.

5. Surely your training as a dancer has helped you in the rehearsals and will do so for the Gala; but, but to what extent has it helped?

It’s had a great effect, above all because dancing helps you know how to control your body and feel at ease on a stage. Being strong is also important and dance helps build up strength.

6. Are you superstitious? Will you wear something or do something special before the Gala to bring you luck?

No, I’m not superstitious. What I do have is faith; my grandmother was a catechist which she taught to the rest of the family. I’m a very positive person and firmly believe in the light which each one of us radiates.

 

7. At times like this nerves are inevitable. Do you have any tricks to beat them?

On occasions when I’ve had to perform, the nerves have been a stimulus to get out there with more energy. Hopefully, this time it will be the same. However, I know that as soon as I start to feel the audience’s warmth, I’ll focus on that and forget the rest.

8. So, Anabel, if you win what will be the first thing that goes through your mind?

I’m sure that I’ll be thinking about my daughter, as she’s always there whatever I do. Who knows, maybe when she’s old enough and wants to do the same as I, without a doubt, I’ll be there to give her all my support.

But I’ll also be thinking about and very grateful to the whole Depilación Láser Canarias team who have treated me so well specially Mari Paz Rancho who has supported me with all her great advice. And, of course, my profound gratitude to Miguel Cruz for designing the wonderful costume which I’ll have the honour to wear on such a special occasion. To all these people, I can only express my thanks and hope not to let them down.

At the beginning of the year we decided to do something to help stop the deterioration of our environment and in particular to stop deforestation which so rapidly depletes such a vital source of life for this planet.

Depilación Láser canarias con el medio ambienteAt Depilación Láser Canarias we are aware of how much paper is wasted by us in our so called “first world”. We want to change this bad habit by taking advantage of current technology and use it to lessen waste and contribute to a more sustainable use of one of our most prized and necessary resources: our trees.

To achieve this goal, and as of this moment, any communication with our clients (estimates, pre and post depilation care, instructions for the use of anesthetic lotion or any care communication) will be done via email. To this end, we have improved and upgraded our emailing systems.

However, if any of our clients do not have email or prefer to have any of the aforementioned documents on paper, we will gladly provide them with printed copies at no inconvenience.

We know our contribution is a small one, but from small acorns do mighty oaks grow. Don’t you agree?

We may know it as the “New Alejandrita”, but its real name is GentleLase Pro and it is the latest depilation laser launched by the world-renown and prestigious Candela Ibérica company. We at Depilación Láser Canarias are happy to announce that we are the first and only clinic in the isles to have this cutting-edge technological wonder at your disposal.

Without going into too much technical detail, we would like to point out some of the advantages this new system offers with respect to the older version. Firstly, it is much faster thereby reducing the time a session takes. Secondly, it adapts to and is more efficient with different skin-tones and hair colour and thickness. This is good news for dark-skinned people as it offers them greater protection.

The new system also allows each session to be personalized by choosing the exact parameters each individual person needs for their type of skin thereby increasing the speed, security and comfort of the treatment. It’s also important to point out how the new cooling system prevents any possible side effects, reduces any pain and achieves more efficient results thanks to its higher energy usage.

We want to keep offering all our clients the best, so, in spite of this costly investment, we are proud to bring you the leading edge in laser depilation technology allowing us to offer you the full satisfaction of the best quality service.

Last October 7th we celebrated, in the Discoteca Wilson, the election of the Miss who will represent Depilación Láser Canarias as a candidate for the Carnival Queen in the 2012 Carnival Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
A total of 18 girls took part in the selection and paraded in front of our nine-person jury. They had the difficult task of choosing the right girl who would wear the Carnival Queen fantasy costume designed by Miguel Cruz of which we cannot give any details… yet. Apart from Miguel Cruz, the other members of the jury were 3 of his helpers (Miriam Cruz, Airán Cabrera y Daniel Guillén); Mari Paz Rancho, director of Depilación Láser Canarias; Ayose Gil, public relations of the Discoteca Wilson; and 3 other people representing the Discoteca (Yurena Rodríguez, Carmen Suárez y Naomi Hatchwell).
The concourse started just after 1 in the morning with all the contestants taking part in a choreographed dance routine. After, the contestants paraded in shorts & tops and finally in evening wear. Apart from the catwalk runs, the jury interviewed each candidate in turn.
Once the catwalk runs and interviews were over, the jury met to decide which of the 18 girls would be chosen to take part in the Carnival Gala. Around 3 am the 9 members of the jury had unanimously chosen 25 year-old Anabel Gil Delgado, a Stewardess and amateur dancer from Gran Canaria.
Also, the 2 runners-up were chosen: Cynthia López as first runner-up and Dévora Cabrera as second. As we are very grateful to the 3 finalists for their participation, they were each presented with a Depilación Láser Canarias Gift Card.
