Miss Colorado Teen USA and Miss Colorado USA 2012

This past weekend was the Miss Colorado Teen USA and Miss Colorado USA pageant. I had nine clients competing. Two were in the Teen division and the other seven were in the Miss division. Of the three young ladies that didn't place, Arianna won the prestigious "Best in Interview for a Non-Finalist" award. I had three place in the top 15 in the Miss division. They are Jaime, Amanda and Kylie. Iman took 4th runner up and Erica placed as 3rd runner up. I am pleased to announce that Chloe was crowned Miss Colorado Teen USA! Congratulations ladies!

I have worked with Chloe for three years. She is an amazing young lady who graduated a full year early from High School, then was the youngest to graduate from her Dental Assistant school and she did it with honors and now she is a freshman in college. She has also started a program called "Hats For Hope."

I am so proud of all her hard work and accomplishments! She will represent Colorado well at nationals. Best wishes!!!

I am so proud of my client, Marybel! She did an amazing job as Miss Colorado USA 2012! She made numerous appearances! She also place in the top 10 at Miss USA! Congratulations on an amazing year! I can't wait to see what you will do next!

 Congratulations to my client,  Geimi De Large, for her third runner up placement at Miss Colorado this year!

Congratulations also to client Kristen Schubert for making top 15! I am so proud of you both!

Miss USA 2012

Congratulations to my client, Marybel Gonzales, Miss Colorado USA on her top 10 finish!!! It was such an honor to attend the Miss USA pageant this year. It was a great show and Marybel represented Colorado with style, grace and a little sass.

 Friday night I attended a red carpet event that included many of the former Miss USA contestants.

 I attended with my dear friend, Tina Hayes who is the reigning Ms. Lady American Dream.

 JJ Smith who is a fellow pageant coach sponsored this fun event that included a cat walk contest.

 The beautiful Blair Griffith, Miss Colorado USA 2011 was on hand to share in the festivities.

 I had the honor of meeting Mac Duggal, the amazing pageant gown designer. I even bought one of his cocktail dresses to wear to Miss USA.

I also had the privilege of meeting Carl Dunn, the CEO of Pageantry Magazine. We actually discussed Boy Scouts since his sons are active in it.

Miss Denver

I attended the Miss Denver Pageant to support my client, Lindsay. She represented herself well. I look forward to seeing her compete in her next pageant. She has a real fire inside!

My friend, Lori, was on hand to cheer on Lindsay. It was wonderful seeing her again.

Kristi had the difficult job of judging the pageant. I am glad I didn't have her job! Her daughter, Rylee, was on hand to support all her Miss Colorado sisters.

Miss Colorado Pageant 2011

I attended the Miss Colorado Pageant with two of my dear International friends. Jamie (L) was Miss Colorado International 2009 the same year I was Mrs. Colorado International. We made appearances and attended nationals together. Brie (R) was the first runner up to Jamie at Colorado International that same year. It was so wonderful catching up with both of these special ladies.

I was finally able to congratulate pageant client, Kristen, on her win at Miss Colorado Coed. She is the newly crowned Miss Colorado Coed. This was only her second appearance. I am so excited for her and the year ahead.

 Ashley was first runner up at MAOT. I have known Ashley for a couple of year both through pageantry and through my son who attends the same high school. She is genuine and giving. Her true beauty radiates from the inside out.

Miss Colorado Prelim

I was surprised one Saturday morning with an invitation to a Miss Colorado America prelim from Christine Worembourg. We attended that night where I ran into the ever lovely Yazzie. I love meeting up with other young ladies who are competing in pageants. It is always fun to watch and see what pointers I can pick up. We have developed a real sense of sisterhood in our Colorado Pageant community.

Miss Colorado America

This weekend I enjoyed the Miss Colorado America pageant with my friend, Vicki Hughes, Miss New Mexico USA 1997. I love to go and encourage the women who are competing!

It was an honor to meet Jamie Duckhart-Conti, Miss Colorado America 2008.

It is always great to run into a sister queen, Jamie Patrick, Miss Colorado International 2009.
