I visited my favorite place in the world, The Crowning Touch to search for my National wardrobe! And of course, they were helpful & wonderful as always. If you are ever involved in any pageant, I recommended Maria and Raquel more then anyone. They have been by my side helping me with every little thing from my first pageant to now, my preparations for nationals. With help from them, my mom, and Debbi, I definitely picked out the gown & interview outfit with the 'WOW factor.' Nationals are coming up soo quickly, I can't wait to be Massachusetts first representative! I owe thousands of thank yous to everyone at The Crowning Touch, I know I feel my absolute BEST at Nationals.
Lucky for me, Debbi, my pageant director, has become like a second mom in such a short period of time. She let me stay the night at her house so I could attend my first pageant as a visiting queen. The Miss Rhode Island pageant was BEAUTIFUL. From the contestants to the stage, everything was perfect. I had the chance to reconnect with pageant friends including my cousin queen Miss Teen Rhode Island-World Dana, and meet fabulous new ones. The world of pageantry truly has the most outgoing and good-hearted people you will ever meet in your life. The competition was tough and every single contestant stood apart from the crowd in one way or another. I admire the Miss America organization SO much for what an outstanding pageant they have. Every year, they award the most scholarships in the country to deserving and inspiring young woman. The 2010 winners were beautiful and I wish them the best of luck during their year. It was nice to see the new beauty queen fall to the ground crying when she won, it definitely demonstrated heart and how much winning this title means to her. (Plus, for a minute I thought I was the only one who couldn't control my emotions when a crown was placed on my head!)
Another perk of my night was the GORGEOUS cocktail dress I was given by my sponsors, Promgirl.net. It was a Clarisse, dark blue, and of course, sparkly! Thank you Promgirl.net, you MADE my night perfect with a stunning dress to walk around in.
The celebration party for the winners after was the best time of all. I had the chance to get some food in my stomach after a long day, chat with everyone I just met, and watch the crowned beauty queens soak in the moments of realizing IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!
After a tiresome yet amazing night, I woke up early again this morning for a photoshoot! My photographer was so kind and outgoing. And Debbi was of course amazing as always with direction. We did a series of outfits out doors to spice up my Miss Teen Massachusetts-World portfolio. It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside and I even found a Massachusetts fan who had his picture taken with me. (I still haven't quite gotten used to that yet!)
It was definitely an eventful weekend and one that I know will be unforgettable. From the dresses to the appearances, from pageant videos to the live show, I had the time of my life. Feeling like a beauty queen is never a bad thing, and I felt as glamorous ever all weekend long!
