Today I returned to Crown Chic to try on just a few more gowns so I could be 100% sure I made the right choice. And it was a good thing I did! I tried on a variety of styles, colors, and designers seeing what was just right for me. I found a gown that I am sure was waiting just for me! I love it and I know its the dress for me to take to Miss USA! Description? Nope, not yet! I will say it is going to be amazing under the Vegas spotlights! Most importantly, I feel great in it and I hope that shines through.
So, thank you again to A. Renee Designs & Crown Chic and my great director for putting up with me and helping me find THE dress.
Thanks to Kitch Fairman at Salon Kitch for giving me a much needed haircut today as well. Kitch is a wealth of knowledge and a talented stylist! I am so happy to have such a great sponser during my year as Kiss KS USA! I also was able to spend a little time with the lovely Miss OK USA, Lauren, and her mother at the salon as well.
Tomorrow I have a photoshoot with Will Patterson and Misses OK, NE, MO, & AR USA! It will be a chance for us to really have a glamourous photoshoot and get to know each other in preparation for Miss USA. I am really looking forward to it (even if I have to miss the Super Bowl).
Have a great weekend! And be sure to check out Amber Seyer, Miss MO 2007, in a Powerade Commercial during the Super Bowl! Congrats Amber!

Dress Day!
So yesterday was a day I was really looking forward to! It was.... drumroll please- Dress Day!
I was able to go to Crown Chic with my wonderful director and try on my dress for Miss USA! I am dying to tell what it looks like but that is a secret I'm going to keep for a little longer :-). The dress is lovely and the best part is it lends itself towards VERY large earrings! What can I say, I am a sucker for sparkles on the dress or on the ears. I stood in front of the mirror for a very long time envisioning myself in that dress on the Miss USA stage, and it wasn't as hard to imagine as I thought it would be.
It was really a good time spent with the lovely ladies of Crown Chic/A. Renee Designs and I appreciate their support of the Miss Kansas USA pageant!
Just to round out the day I did a little fit modeling for a company in Tonganoxie, KS. Let me tell you that it was suprisingly hard work!
Have a great Friday night!
Remember- it is not about the dress- it is about the girl in the dress.

Lets Workout!
Whew!
Thanks to Brian Atteberry of Results in Edmond, OK for putting me on a great workout program! I am like so many people that find it hard to get motivated enough to leave the house to workout, but after I am done I feel great! Currently, I am trying to cut my body fat percentage down and work towards lean, defined muscles. Muscles that will look great in a swimsuit!
Part of changing my body also includes changing my diet. I am eating a high protein, high fiber, low low fat diet and its a struggle. No one loves junk food and Mtn Dew more than me! But I am sticking to it and also drinking Whey Protein. Yuck. I really have already noticed a difference in they way I feel on my new diet. And no mom, that change would not be more grumpy! :-)
Something for you to try- Don't do the same workout everytime! Its gets dull and over time your body becomes more used to it which actually lessens the workouts effectiveness! So shake things up!

Hey there!
I became Miss KS USA on Dec. 21st and my life has changed a lot since then!
Winning a state title and taking that trip to Miss USA has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Pageants can be wonderful but they can be disappointing for the ladies who do not end up with the crown. That is something I understand, but in December my hardwork paid off! I am so thankful that I have been blessed with this amazing opportunity. And if you have seen any pictures from the pageant you can tell that I was beyond happy to be the last lady standing!
Preparations for Miss USA are well under way and I couldn't be more excited. This year Miss USA will be held at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, and broadcast on NBC April 19th. The contestants will be spending three weeks in Las Vegas- boy, that is going to require a ton of luggage!
That's all for now- got to get that beauty sleep! ;-)
Court aka Miss KS USA!
Something for you to try- Vaseline under your eyes at night. Its gross but its a miracle worker!
