United America Pageant

The weekend of June 22nd through June 24th found me competing in the Classic division of the United America Pageant. I am so honored to have been chosen for the Ms United America Classic title. This is a wonderful pageant that has both down time and activities so I left feeling refreshed.

The pageant began with check in where we received our state banners. Because you may compete in more than one division, only our states are listed. I am pictured here with the fabulous, Mrs. Colorad United America, Amanda Palmer.

Friday evening was the cocktail meet and greet. It was wonderful getting to meet so many of the ladies who would be competing with me that weekend.

Tim Kretschmann, of the Pageant Cast was on hand to take pictures and interview the contestants to be released later in the year.

Interview was a 5 minute, panel style. The judges were so nice and genuinely interested in what I had to say. I can honestly say I had fun! Interview is 40% of our final score.

Saturday evening was the riverboat cruise. It was beautiful and a relaxing way to get to know the contestants better.

Of course, we had our silly moments, like this classic Titanic picture with Amanda Palmer and Autumn Stinnett, from Texas.

Michele Sharpe and I have competed in three different pageants together. She is an amazing lady! Here we are, ready for opening number. Immediately after opening number, we each had a moment in the spotlight with a one minute introduction which was 10% of our score.

Ready to rock the runway in fun fashion which is 25% of our score! Sheila Berthelsen was the outgoing Classic queen and was now competing in the Elite division. She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Evening gown is my favorite part of any competition and 25% of our score. I am wearing a custom gown by Frankie Couture and custom earrings by Stefanie Sommers. I truly felt like a queen. Thank you Frankie and Stefanie.

Even though she is tired, Miss Annette, our director, is still beautiful! She put on a first class pageant that was even streamed live on the internet. So many amazing women have held titles and competed in the United America Pageant. Check out their website for more information. http://www.unitedamericapageant.com/
