Still Love being Miss KS USA!

I am still loving being Miss KS USA! This weekend I am going to make an appearance at the American Royal's Tour De BBQ thanks to my friend Chadwick! I was also requested to judge the Miss Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin and am crossing my fingers that I will be able. Next week I will be shooting a catalog for a clothing distributorship and getting fitted for a charity fashion put on by Hemline. The show benefits the American Humane Society, a cause that is very near and dear to my hear! My family dog is lying at my feet as I write this! if you're in the KC area you should definitely check it out Oct 15, and check out Hemline Boutique on the Country Club Plaza! Does that girl in their giant posters and flyers look familiar??? :-)

The Importance of Education

Tomorrow I am going to be a guest speaker at Bonner Springs HS. I am so excited! I love speaking to a crowd, although high schoolers can be the toughest crowd! I have been writing what I'm going to talk about for the last few days and trying to keep in mind how receptive I would've been at that age. I do truly believe that everyone needs a great education! And that is the point I will be hopefully trying to make. I finished my college degree and then one of my dreams came true... Hmmm, maybe its a sign!
I'll let you know how it goes.

Hemline Photoshoot!

Whoohoo! Yay to Jenny Wheat of Wheat Photography here in KC for having the fastest turnaround on pictures I have ever, ever seen! I had a blast working with Jenny, Ruth, Chelsie (the other model who is only 17!) and the lovely ladies from Hemline yesterday. I am thinking that our work turned out pretty well!

Pics!

Waaaaay back in May I did a shoot with a photographer from Chicago (I think) here in KC. I finally got the pictures! Yay! While they are not the glam stuff of Miss USA, I am surprised how much I like so many of them. You can take a peek and decide for yourself.
Mwah!

I want to wish my friend Alex Miller good luck tonight at Miss Kansas America! I'm glued to my computer hoping to find out how she is doing!
Good luck to all the girls in Missouri competing at the MO Military Academy as well!
