Taken from Blair's bio from the Miss Colorado USA website:

"After trying for three years, family and friends got to see Blair Griffith crowned Miss Colorado USA 2011 on her fourth attempt for the title. It has been a dream and goal of Blair’s to win the title since she grew up watching the Miss USA pageant on television with her dad.

Blair is a Magna Cum Laude graduate from The Art Institute of Colorado where she received her Bachelors Degree in Fashion Retail Management. Her focus allowed Blair to excel scholastically as she maintained a 3.8 GPA and was accepted into the Alpha Beta Kappa National Honor Society."

Blair has come into the spotlight more notably because of her homeless situation.  Regardless, she is still battling for the title of Miss USA 2011 on June 19th, 2011 on NBC.  Check out her interview below as she explains more about events that left her homeless, more insight about the state of homelessness today, but more importantly her competitive drive to capture the Miss USA crown.

Taken from the Miss Oklahoma USA website:

"On November 28, 2010, in Guthrie, Oklahoma, an excited crowd welcomed the newly crowned Miss Oklahoma USA 2011, Miss North Norman - Kaitlyn Smith. This was Kaitlyn’s first pageant and she not only took home the title, but also received awards for Most Photogenic, Best Interview, and People’s Choice. An Arizona native, Kaitlyn moved to Norman, Oklahoma in 2006 to attend college at the University of Oklahoma, where she’s currently working toward her degree in Medicine. She is now proud to call Norman her home."

Before Kaitlyn left for Las Vegas to compete at the Miss USA 2011 pageant (June 19th on NBC), she made a visit to the Dallas Galleria for an exclusive interview and ice skating lessons with thePageantGuy.com.  Special thanks to skating instructor Nazlie Mojiri and her students for including us in her lessons and major props to Kaitlyn for being a good sport and brave enought to take on the challenge on the ice!

Katy Perry in her own words:

"California girls, we're undeniable,
Fine, fresh, fierce,
We got it on lock.
West coast represent, now put your hands up,
Oh oh oh ohhhhhhh!"
