VIDEO: “To Bring or To Not Bring the Boyfriend”

So today we are addressing the long discussed debate of "To Bring or To Not Bring the Boyfriend" to your pageant. Some girls believe that it is encouraging to have the support of their boyfriend throughout the pageant while others say that their boyfriends are just a distraction.

So let's go to the experts...we'll ask a few titleholders what they think on "To Bring or To Not Bring the Boyfriend".

VIDEO: Brittany York – Miss North Carolina USA 2011

Over twenty years ago a modern American playwright, T. Petty initially quoted,

"She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too..."

And earlier this year, the free spirited, twenty-year-old Brittany York walked away with the Miss North Carolina USA 2011 crown.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, then THIS video should be worth one miiiiiiillion dollars -- you'll get the Austin Powers reference soon, trust me 🙂

Be sure to watch thePageantGuy.com's exclusive interview with the 4 wheelin', milk drinkin', Christmas carolin' beauty from North Carolina!

P.S. She really LOVES Elvis!

VIDEO: Chelsea Cooley Altman – Miss USA 2005

Just like our newest guest, I too can remember the Miss USA 2005 pageant like it was yesterday...

Michael Phelps was a judge (fresh from his breakout Olympic performance just the summer before), Shandi Finnessy's Final Walk in her gown with the plunging neckline (the day I developed my secret crush on Shandi...shhh!), and a 21 year old beauty from North Carolina, named Chelsea Cooley, capturing the coveted title of Miss USA 2005!

Chelsea is now the current President of StandOut Productions, a comprehensive pageant coaching and training program that produces leadership retreats, seminars, model searches, and individual consultations. Along with her business partner and celebrity fitness trainer, Dr. A.T. Dunn (CEO of StandOut), StandOut Productions has compiled a long list of state and national titleholders at both the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants.

Be sure to watch Chelsea's exclusive video interview and if you want to meet her in person check out the Beauty is Power Seminar in Minneapolis, next week, on January 8th and 9th!

P.S. At 3:36 of the interview...in her best "Minute to Win It" voice...is Miss Teen USA 2005, Allie LaForce. Be sure to stay tuned for her exclusive interview!

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 🙂
