VIDEO: Danielle Doty – Miss Teen USA 2011

An excerpt from J.J. Smith's article:

"When Danielle Doty was considering what the most daring and adventurous thing she had ever done, the answer came rather quickly: "I climbed a mountain last summer!"   Little did she realize that when the Miss Texas Teen USA pageant came along in November of last year, there would be another mountain to climb, but it was surely a mountain that she was ready to conquer.  In other words, she would be 'in it, to win it!'"

Not only did Danielle climb the summit of that mountain at Miss Texas Teen USA, she continued to the Bahamas to represent the Lone Star state in the ultimate of teen pageants. In just her 2nd pageant in the USA system, this blonde hair beauty from Harlingen, TX captured the title of Miss Teen USA 2011.

Just a few weeks ago, Danielle came back to her home state to attend the Miss Texas Teen USA 2012 pageant and we were lucky to spend some time interviewing her. Check out the interview below and follow Danielle's year as Miss Teen USA 2011 on Twitter at @TheRealTeenUSA

VIDEO: Anastasia Sidiropoulou – Miss Teen World 2011

From the Miss Teen World website:

"Anastasia Sidiropoulou was crowned 2011 Teen World in Houston, Texas On Friday August 13, 2010. Anastasia bested 24 ladies from all over the world for the bragging rights of calling herself the most beautiful teenager in the world!

Anastasia hails from Athens Greece. She is the Daughter of Dr. & Dr. Nikos Sidiropoulou. Both her parents are dentists. Anastasia is attending school in Slovakia to go to dental school. In the meantime she plans on pursuing her modeling and acting career while she is Teen World.

Anastasia is honored to be the first from Greece to capture the title of Teen World. She plans on using her title to do charity work all over the world. Anastasia plans on attending as many national pageants as her schedule permits."

I had the opportunity to interview her via Skype while she was in dental school in Yugoslavia a few months ago, but this evening you can watch her crown the new Miss Teen World 2012 TONIGHT -- Friday, August 5th at 7:00 pm -- in Houston at the Hilton Post Oak. Good luck to all of the 26 young ladies competing for the titleholder Miss Teen World 2012!
