VIDEO: Lauren Carter – Miss Vermont USA 2011

In Lauren's own words:

"I have loved nature and the great outdoors all my life.  I was never a typical "girly-girl", and my Mom actually thought it was a JOKE when I gave her my application for Miss Vermont USA 2010 with her Mother's Day present.  She had always dressed me up adorably as a little girl... all ribbons, bows, sparkles, and pink.  As soon as I could, I traded in the cute little outfits for smelly horse farm clothes and hiking boots.  When she realized that I was serious about entering the pageant, she was ecstatic.  But we had a lot of work to do."

And work is exactly what she did!  Introducing the Yoga loving, champion equestrian and future super-nurse -- the current Miss Vermont USA 2011...Lauren Carter 🙂

VIDEO: Brittany Toll – Miss New Mexico USA 2011

Excerpt taken from Brittany Toll's Blog as written by H. Haveman:

"Brittany Toll is a beautiful person.  Yes, she is the reigning Miss New Mexico USA 2011 and won the similar honor in 2005 as Miss New Mexico Teen USA.  However, her beauty is not purely a result of her broad smile, white teeth, and pretty face.  Brittany works as a pre-kindergarten teacher in Gallup’s Rocky View Elementary School.  She volunteers, is a positive role model, and travels throughout the state to promote early childhood education.  Brittany’s beauty, though obvious at first glance, is exuded from deep within through her generosity, values and passions."

After chatting with Brittany, I would add to the final sentence "killer dance moves" and "love for Shark Week" 🙂

VIDEO: Page Pennock – Miss Louisiana USA 2011

The first time I talked to Page Pennock was right before one of my pageant events earlier this year.  She had just placed 1st runner-up to Miss Louisiana USA 2010 and had decided to come to Houston for my event...which I thought was pretty cool!  Page had a great attitude and a fun personality, but what I remembered the most was her desire to one day become Miss Louisiana USA.

I ran into Page again at the Dallas Market Center right before the Miss Louisiana USA 2011 pageant, and we chatted about the upcoming pageant.  I think that for anyone...placing 1st runner up can be a tough pill to swallow, however it can also be the driving force that motivates you to return and do your very best -- and it seemed like Page was more the latter.  At the end of October, Page realized her dream and was crowned Miss Louisiana USA 2011.

...which brings us to the interview.

I managed to catch up with the new Miss Louisiana USA 2011 just a few weeks ago - in Houston for the Miss Texas Teen USA 2011 pageant - and THIS time I'm able to share our conversation with you 🙂
