Sinergy Fashion Show: Washington DC

Greetings from Washington DC!

My reign as Miss Teen Earth United States recently took me all the way from Orlando, FL. to Washington DC to be part of the Sinergy Fashion Show! I was so excited to be part of this event because it was a fundraiser for the Skin Cancer Foundation.

I personally believe that skin cancer is such an important issue facing our generation. With the rising popularity of tanning beds and even the depletion of our ozone layer, we need to be increasingly more careful about our sun exposure and the dangers that over exposure can sometimes bring. Skin cancer is something that affects men and women equally, and it seems that recent generations are developing skin cancer at an earlier age than ever before.

For these reasons, I feel greatly honored to be part of an event that helps benefit an issue that truly affects a wide range of people.





You can't have a fashion show without a list of amazing designers! The night's show consisted of truly talented designers such as Tsyndyma, Blind Addiktion, Belafigura, Marina Asta, La Casa Hermosa, Scala, and Tashia Senn.

The event was held by "SiNERGY" and was the epitomy of a high class event. It was held at the Josephine in Washington DC and the show brought in a full house of spectators, photographers (as you can see in the picture to the left), and industry people.





We had the opportunity to showcase the talented work of many different designers and also raise money for an incredibly deserving cause.




We even had tons of fun along the way!

All in all, I conclude the night to be a SUCCESS!!!


As always... Thanks for stopping by :)

PHOENIX TRIP!

Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Phoenix with 2 of my pageant sisters, Amy Diaz; Miss Earth United States 2009 and Denise Garrido; Miss Earth Canada 2008!

We had a blast! I hardly know where to begin!

I'll start from the beginning:
After flying into Phoenix on Tuesday night we traveled to the Mesa Regal Resort where we were staying for the trip. It was an early wake up call on Wednesday morning; we had a FULL day of events ahead of us!!



Wednesday morning began with a trip to Copper Canyon Elementary School where we sat in on a Kindergarten and First Grade Class. We got to read a book about saving the Earth to them and had the chance to talk about recycling, reusing, and reducing. It was so nice to be able to interact with the children, and it was especially impressive to see how much knowledge they had already attainted about being eco friendly at SUCH a young age. It was heart warming and really gives me hope for the future of our planet!









Then we were off for some sightseeing in Phoenix. I loved being able to see the beautiful mountains! The view was absolutely beautiful!





Finally the main event was Wedesday night! Amy, Denise, and Myself were all special guests at an event called "Hands across the Border." Denise, being Miss Earth Canada was the emcee along with Captain Frank, and Amy and myself had the chance to speak on stage about the pageant and about our journey. The vision of the event was as follows: "Citizens of the US and Canada coming together as neighbors to celebrate our similiarities and our differences in a way that is fun, respectful, and above all, aimed at strengthening our current relationship while preparing for a strong positive future." The event was held as Mesa Regal Resort, where we were staying. I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet all of the residents and be part of such a great event. The event was also a fundraiser for the Sandra Day O' Connor marching band to travel to Calgary in Canada. We all raised $1,000!!!! The school's band teacher is actually Mrs. Arizona, Melanie Britton who was also in attendance on Wednesday night. It was so nice that everyone came together to help out her amazing band students.







Overall, it was such an amazing experience! I want to say Thank You to Southwest Airlines for flying us out to Phoenix. I want to thank Mesa Regal Resort for setting us up in such a beautiful place to stay. I want to thank the directors of "Hands Across the Border" for inviting us, and I want to thank my director, Evan Skow, for showing us around and giving us a great experience!

Bye Phoenix! I hope to see you again!

Ferdinand's Ball & Old Friends

As Miss Teen Earth United States, I am continually researching and learning about organizations that promote environmental causes.

I have always had a deep love and devotion to animals. I believe that animals need to be treated with the same love & respect that we would give to human beings. That is why I found such a great interest in Ferdinand's Ball and the "Old Friends" charity. The event is named after Ferdinand, a former Kentucky Derby winner who was slaughtered in Japan in 2002. Now the event helps raise money which is donated to a charity called "Old Friends." The charity brings in "at risk" racehorses to give them a retirement they deserve. Since Old Friends is open to the public, it brings in about 20,000 visitors a year who come to view the legends. It allows people to become educated and inspired by the stories of victory and defeat of each horse.

Ferdinand's Ball is going to be held on April 29th. It is going to be a beautiful gala held in the Frazier Museum in Downtown Louisville. It will truly be a red carpet affair complete with a celebrity chef, celebrity guests, a top musician and gourmet cuisine. I strongly encourage all my readers to please find a way to help out. Whether it be to actually attend the event or donate, both are very much appreciated. Click the link below to direct you to their website. Here you can find information about purchasing tickets to the event. They also need monetary donations that will go towards putting on the event. If you would like to donate, you can find that information on the website as well. And the plus side? Everything is tax deductible and you are truly helping out a great cause! Please help save these beautiful and talented animals!

THANK YOU GREENWAY FORD!

I want to give a big thank you to Greenway Ford for lending me a beautiful black mustang convertible for the Orlando Citrus Parade.

A special thanks to Shawn Vink and Rick Roberts for their generosity!
I am so grateful for your kindness and for helping make the parade such a special day for me.

The memories will last a lifetime!

Citrus Bowl Parade

On December 30th I was in the Orlando Citrus Parade in Downtown Orlando. The Citrus Parade is an event held every year that leads up to the Champs Sports Bowl and the Capital One Bowl. The Orlando Citrus Parade is recognized as one of the nation’s largest sports-affiliated parades. So, it was definitely an honor to be part of such a prestigious event. The parade was televised over 80% of American Household televisions and drew over 80,000 spectators locally.

It was a beautiful winter day in Florida! It was bright sunshine and about 75 degrees that day. The perfect day for a parade! I had such a great time and will cherish the memories forever. I felt so proud to be able to represent the title of Miss Teen Earth United States and Earth Pageant Productions.



Enjoy the pictures!

Pageantry Magazine Photoshoot

Well I have a lot to catch up on! It has been such a busy past couple weeks! Such a whirlwind.
I was so excited and honored to be chosen to model in the hair and makeup segment of Pageantry Magazine's Prom Edition.

The morning started bright and early at the Aveda Institute in Winter Park, Florida. I was greeted by the wonderful Carl Dunn, owner and editor of Pageantry Magazine. He was so nice and provided everyone with donuts and coffee. The picture shown to the left is of him and I.







Then it was straight to getting my hair done! The artists at the Aveda Institute are so talented at what they do! The picture here is of me getting my hair done by the head stylist. Then after hours of hair and makeup it was finally time to do my photoshoot. I had so much fun! The pictures came out beautiful, thanks to our amazing photographer!









This is a group shot of all of us at the culmination of the day. We all had such a great time and everything moved smoothly. We were so lucky to have a great team working on the shoot.

Look for the magazine coming out soon! And visit their website while you are at it!
