Ladies what would you do if you found out you got to hang out with a tall, dark and handsome celebrity, with a melodic voice and ripped body?

Latisha Prescott sees herself as such a lucky woman, after winning a night out with former Road March and Soca Monarch champ Shurwayne Winchester, just by answering one simple question sent to fans who signed up on his website www.shurwaynewinchester.com.

“I joined Shurwayne’s fan club two weeks ago and I took part in the competition last week. They asked me to name two artistes Shurwayne Winchester did collaborations with on his 2008 album.

The answer came easy for me – Johnny King and Slaughter,” said Prescott.

For getting the answer right, Prescott gets to enjoy VIP treatment at all the fetes Winchester performs at on Friday night.

“This is one way of Shurwayne Winchester and SW Ltd showing appreciation for fans who have been loyal over the years,” Winchester said yesterday. Prescott, a Newsday administrative assistant, said she knew she would be the winner but was still surprised when Winchester’s publicist called with the good news.

“When I got the call I thought it was a prank, then I heard the unmistakable voice of Shurwayne in the background and I went off from there.

I just started screaming.” Getting the opportunity to meet Winchester is a dream come true for Prescott. “I just admire Shurwayne’s talent, and his ability as an artiste. And what is special about him is that he is a humble person.”
