VIDEO: Allyn Rose – Miss District of Columbia 2012

On the first day she arrived at the Miss America 2013 pageant, Miss District of Columbia 2012 - Allyn Rose said this regarding her surgery to prevent breast cancer:

"It's been something that I've thought about for a long time. Something that far precedes competing in pageants. When my mom was diagnosed and eventually lost her life I was 16 years old.

It's really a pinnacle time in your life when you're developing into a woman...you're becoming the person your going to be. It's a time when you need your mom the most. I didn't have my mom help me pick out my prom dress or be there for me when I went on my first date...all of those first milestones.

I really started thinking to myself, I don't want my kids to ever go through that.  I don't want my children to know what its like to live without a mom."

You can watch the rest of Allyn's interview below and watch her compete with 52 other young ladies for the title of Miss America 2013 on January 12th on ABC.

VIDEO: Mandy Schendel – Miss Washington 2012

Taken from Mandy's official bio:

"Making a difference is the mission statement of my life. Inspiring young people to do something for others, which in turn inspires their own lives, is a simple concept that can make an immense impact.

I started a nonprofit company, The Difference Maker Organization, at the age of 11, and from these experiences, I published my book, “Do Something.” We have a generation of young people who need to be mentored and inspired to become leaders through volunteer service or they may not attempt to later in life. To that end, I am diligently working with our Washington State Governor and others to create new legislation requiring a volunteer component to the middle school curriculum."

In the 10 years I've been involved with pageantry, I've been lucky enough to meet some great people, visit amazing places, and develop some lifelong friendships. One such friendship was made when I first got started with pageants. I was very lucky to have met Mandy and her family, and from day one they have always made me feel a part of theirs. It's always great to see your friends succeed in life, and I have been fortunate to witness Mandy succeed in pageants as Miss Washington Teen USA 2008 and now as Miss Washington 2012.

You can watch Mandy compete for the title of Miss America 2013 on ABC, January 12 at 9pm EST and vote for her in as a viewers choice finalist at www.votemisswashington.com.

VIDEO: Miss Virginia USA 2013 crowning

So if you missed the Miss Virginia USA 2013 pageant webcast, had a bad connection, or missed the pageant altogether, below is a not-so-professional video of the Miss Virginia USA 2013 crowning (and no I wasn't filming it lol).

You can't see the contestants reaction, the footage is out of focus, and the video is super shaky...pretty much this video stinks...haha

But it's real video with real emotion, much like the ones you or your family have taken when your girl wins...which makes it all the more glorious 🙂
