Ventura County International Pageant Practice

This Sunday, February 26th, the contestants learned the opening number choreography and received their opening number dresses! Allison Bowman (Miss Ventura County Intl 2012) and I will be wearing blue cocktail dresses, and the contestants will be wearing fuschia dresses. It is such an exciting time - in less than two weeks, I will be crowning the next titleholder!

Ventura County International Pageant Practice

This Sunday, February 19th, was the second practice for the Miss & Miss Teen Ventura County International 2013 pageant. The contestants learned the walking patterns for the different categories of competition - fitness wear, fun fashion, and evening gown.

At the end of practice, we had a Valentine's Day party. Everyone exchanged Valentines and enjoyed some baked goods. Whoever said pageant girls don't eat was mistaken!

Ventura County International Pageant Practice

This Sunday, February 12th, was the first practice for the Miss & Miss Teen Ventura County International 2013 pageant. I am so excited that my friends Danica O'Malley and Alissa Leone decided to compete! Today's practice covered the interview and on-stage question categories. It was really interesting to hear about everyone's community service platforms.

Matters of the Heart Benefit

On Saturday night, February 11th, I had an amazing time at the Matters of the Heart Benefit at the Sterling Hills Country Club. Tatiana Juarez (Junior Miss Ventura County Intl 2012) and I sold raffle tickets to the attendees before enjoying the delicious Italian dinner and performance by marionette artist Scott Land. This fundraiser benefitted two wonderful organizations, Heart2Heart and Go Red for Women.

Ventura County International Pageant Orientation

On Sunday, January 29th, the orientation for the Miss & Miss Teen Ventura County International 2013 pageant was held. Allison Bowman (Miss Ventura County Intl 2012) and I both talked about our experiences in the International pageant system, what Crowning Glory Productions specifically taught us, and our favorite pageant appearance. I was so excited to meet some of the new girls competing! I can't wait for weekly practices to begin so I can get to know everyone.
