VIDEO: Brittany Toll – Miss New Mexico USA 2011

Excerpt taken from Brittany Toll's Blog as written by H. Haveman:

"Brittany Toll is a beautiful person.  Yes, she is the reigning Miss New Mexico USA 2011 and won the similar honor in 2005 as Miss New Mexico Teen USA.  However, her beauty is not purely a result of her broad smile, white teeth, and pretty face.  Brittany works as a pre-kindergarten teacher in Gallup’s Rocky View Elementary School.  She volunteers, is a positive role model, and travels throughout the state to promote early childhood education.  Brittany’s beauty, though obvious at first glance, is exuded from deep within through her generosity, values and passions."

After chatting with Brittany, I would add to the final sentence "killer dance moves" and "love for Shark Week" 🙂

VIDEO: Page Pennock – Miss Louisiana USA 2011

The first time I talked to Page Pennock was right before one of my pageant events earlier this year.  She had just placed 1st runner-up to Miss Louisiana USA 2010 and had decided to come to Houston for my event...which I thought was pretty cool!  Page had a great attitude and a fun personality, but what I remembered the most was her desire to one day become Miss Louisiana USA.

I ran into Page again at the Dallas Market Center right before the Miss Louisiana USA 2011 pageant, and we chatted about the upcoming pageant.  I think that for anyone...placing 1st runner up can be a tough pill to swallow, however it can also be the driving force that motivates you to return and do your very best -- and it seemed like Page was more the latter.  At the end of October, Page realized her dream and was crowned Miss Louisiana USA 2011.

...which brings us to the interview.

I managed to catch up with the new Miss Louisiana USA 2011 just a few weeks ago - in Houston for the Miss Texas Teen USA 2011 pageant - and THIS time I'm able to share our conversation with you 🙂

VIDEO: Jesinta Campbell – Miss Universe Australia 2010 Interview

OK guys, if you ever want to see fierce competition just put a bunch of competitive pageant girls in one room and run a pageant contest during a pageant watching party.  When the Miss Universe 2010 pageant aired a few months ago, I organized a Miss Universe Watching Party along with a contest predicting the new Miss Universe and runners up (the winner would win some awesome jewelry from 2 of our pageant's sponsors).

Anyways...before our contest everyone had their clear favorites.  But as the pageant progressed and focused more on the finalists, several predictions changed and ONE thing was certain.  Miss Australia began to win over the hearts of everyone at our watching party.

Miss Universe Australia 2010, Jesinta Campbell placed 2nd runner up to Miss Universe 2010 and also won the pageant's Miss Congeniality award...and after my interview with her I know exactly why!  Jesinta's radiant personality, contagious smile, and and passion for people is why this 19 year old Australian from the Gold Coast has taken her country by storm and nearly won Miss Universe 2010...not to mention her killer Australian accent -- just listen to her say "Bieber Fever" 🙂  Australia is truly lucky to have Jesinta Campbell to represent their country and we are lucky to have her exclusive video interview on thePageantGuy.com.

P.S.  Hear the REAL story about Jesinta's "sabotaged" National Costume at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant in the interview.

VIDEO: Miss Texas USA 2010 at the Gun Range

When I was a kid I loved playing with guns, the toy version of course, until I got older and could buy a real one.  Even now when I go to the gun range I still get a rush of adrenaline right before I shoot (I have a Glock 27, Taurus Judge, and a Mossberg Shotty).  It's like the feeling of anticipation you get when you have a friend or family member in the Top 5 in a pageant and they are about to announce the final results...Kinda.

This past weekend I had a dose of BOTH when I attended the Miss Texas Teen USA pageant and also went to the shooting range with Miss Texas USA 2010, Kelsey Moore.  It was Kelsey's first time ever shooting a gun...EVER...and well I interviewed her at the same time in true "thePageantGuy.com" fashion. 😛

Special thanks to the Memorial Shooting Center in Houston, TX and Jack Cruz of 360 Tactical Training for providing Kelsey an AWESOME private course on handgun safety, self-defense, and tactical shooting.  This is one pageant interview you don't want to miss!

P.S.  And guys...please DO NOT try this at home (obviously) or on your own.  We were under tight supervision from highly trained firearm instructors in a controlled environment.

Enjoy! -Will the Pageant Guy

VIDEO: Morgan Woolard Exclusive Interview

Morgan Woolard, Miss Oklahoma USA 2010, is quite possibly the most recognizable 1st runner up in recent pageant history, and I was lucky enough to chat with her during the Miss Oklahoma USA 2011 pageant this past weekend.  A true definition of class and elegance, she is definitely one of a kind with a great message.  I had such a great conversation with Morgan that I included a Part 2 to her interview, so be sure to watch both!  OK, Enough reading...watch her interview below!  : )

P.S. I APOLOGIZE for the subpar video quality, I blame the hotel for poor internet connection. -Will the Pageant Guy
