Miss Teen American Dream

Congratulations to my client, Morgan for being crowned Miss Teen American Dream on August 18th! Although we worked completely by Skype, she worked very hard. Her mother and she did all her own hair and makeup, so they didn't spend a fortune. She even wore a dress she already owned for interview. I am so proud of her efforts. By the way, this was Morgan's first pageant.

Colorado National American Miss

The Colorado National American Miss Pageant was held the weekend of June 29th through July 2nd. I am so proud of all my clients who competed that weekend!

In the Princess division, Andrea Davis made top 10. Pictured is Lyora Williams who won first runner up and numerous awards in the optionals competition.

 In the Pre-Teen division, Ashley Berry won second runner up and numerous awards in the optionals competition. Alisha Davis placed in the top 15.

 My clients in the Jr. Teen division, Taylor Stordahl (L) was third runner up and Elizabeth Wheelwright was fourth runner up along with numerous awards in the optionals.

I am so proud of my clients, Chloe Brown who was Miss Jr. Teen Colorado NAM and Kerry Ann Kelly who was Miss Teen Colorado NAM! Both young ladies placed in the top 10 at nationals last Thanksgiving in Disney Land. Both are amazing and I can't wait to see what they do next.

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/
