Today was a little adventure for me, as I flew out to Chicago! I came to meet with ELITE Model Management here as I had met with one of their agents in KC this last fall. All in all it went well and I have two photo shoots in my short visit here. Going into the booking room at Elite to meet MY booking agent was very surreal. You see this sort of thing on tv and in movies and it was real for me. Let me tell you it was a dream come true even if I do have to go back on the diet! Plus, I did have some time to see Navy Pier and Michigan Ave. I am having a great time but it is so weird to be here by myself!
I'll try not to let all this fame get to my head. Joke.
Thank you thank you thank you to Andy for being such a help this morning. You know how some stuff stresses me out (aka the airport) and you totally prevented it. I'm thankful.

No Way! I got props on my dress and didn't even know!!
Check out the whole article from Project Runway's Nick Verreos

"There are some gowns in this years Miss USA 2009 which I did like---mainly because they didn't have any crotch-high slits and had a resemblance to maybe something we might see on an actual red carpet or on the runways of New York and Paris. I was surprised by Miss Kansas' choice of a white gown with a beaded halter neck detail. She was COVERED!!! Hurray! But maybe the judges won't like this. I think she looks very elegant and almost Grace Kelly-like."

My two cents on Miss CA USA
Today one of the directors for Miss CA USA, Shanna Moakler, resigned. She felt that she no longer could be associated with the great Carrie Prejean debacle. Frankly, this sucks. Shanna is a very sweet person and knows what is takes to make a winner as a former Miss USA herself. I applaud Shanna for her efforts in the NO H8TE Campaign, as well as the "I Believe" PSA, and am so proud to say that I know her. I agree that love is love simple as that.
What people need to know that while Miss CA's answer at Miss USA did stir up alot of controversy that is not what caused Shanna Moakler to step down or for the directors to consider taking away Carrie's crown. All Americans are entitled to their own opinions and we do not have to agree with one another. But Carrie Prejean violated her Miss CA USA contract in so many ways it is simply ridiculous. Trust me, I had to sign the exact same contract, as well as 49 other young ladies. She made unnapproved appearances without the consent of the CA Org or Miss USA. She also made herself completely unreachable to her directors, the very people that prepaired and sent her to Miss USA and paid for her surgical enhancement, and instead using a publicist from NOM forcing them to cancel all remaining Miss CA appearances. She also failed to disclose that there were topless pictures of her out there when she won Miss CA, and then continue to lie to the entire world (or those who cared) about their existance and proved herself to be unreliable and quite hypocritical.
Carrie Prejean is continually finding a way to put herself in the spotlight and we find ourselves seeing her and ignoring the true winner of Miss USA- Kristin Dalton. Personally, I would not have been so forgiving to the current Miss CA as her directors or the Miss USA Org (I would've yanked that crown). I also feel that if Miss Prejean was the upstanding moral person that she claims to be, she would realize that she is letting down thousands of people who supported her as Miss CA USA and she would STEP DOWN. But as is she is proving to be a media whore and disapointment to so many.
You can have your beliefs but you have to honor your contracts. Simple as that.
As for Shanna Moakler- It truly makes me sad that this has been so hard on her, as well as Keith Lewis the other director of Miss CA USA. Neither one of them deserves this, and I am betting there are thousands of young women out there that wish they could've had such great people behind them going for the title of Miss USA. I love my directors and all the people who helped send me to Miss USA, and I never could imagine treating them in such a disrepectful manner or letting them down.
There you have it, my two cents.
