VIDEO: Kaitlyn Smith – Miss Oklahoma USA 2011

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!

VIDEO: Shaletta Porterfield talks about resigning as Miss Wisconsin USA 2011

Just a few months ago I interviewed Shaletta Porterfield, then Miss Wisconsin USA 2011. On Friday, May 13, 2011, Miss Porterfield resigned her title and the opportunity to compete at the Miss USA 2011 pageant held on June 19th in Las Vegas.

Shaletta's resignation is a result of three felony charges of identity theft. Shaletta granted me a follow up interview to tell her story.

VIDEO: Ximena Navarrete – Miss Universe 2010

Taken from Ximena's bio from MissUniverse.com:

"For only the second time in its fifty-nine year history, the representative from Mexico walked away with the coveted Miss Universe title on August 23rd at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. A crowd favorite, the audience erupted when twenty- two year old Ximena Navarrete's name was called as she was crowned Miss Universe 2010.

Navarrete was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and had lived there all of her life until being tapped for the Mexico title, after which she moved to Mexico City to serve her reign. Although Navarrete hails from one of the largest cities in Mexico, she describes it as relatively calm compared to her new home in New York City.

Navarrete has worked as a model for years, but this beauty is much more than a pretty face. While in school she received a scholastic award for obtaining high honors and exemplifying outstanding behavior. She went on to study Nutrition at Univa in Guadalajara, and plans to complete her degree after her reign."
