Local Pageants

Miss Southern Delaware 2010 was a wonderful event and a new pageant brought to Miss Delaware this year. I had the pleasure of co hosting with Mr. DE 2008 and dear friend, Chris. We had a great time as we watched talented, beautiful, and intelligent young women compete for the title.

Lorin Walls won the title of Miss Southern Delaware 2010! Her platform is "Get Your Head in the Game" promoting awareness of brain tumors and her talent is Irish step dancing. She is a great role model for girls to look up to.

Another local pageant held a couple weeks after was Miss Kent County 2010. My co host for the evening was Miss Capital Heather McKinney. We had a great time yet again. It was a tough competition!

Kayla Martell won the title of Miss Kent County and will be competing for Miss Delaware this June along side of 11 other contestants. She has been incredibly involved in community service and is always a joy to watch as she dances. I know I have said this before, but I truly think Miss Delaware is going to a close competition this year!

MDOT 2010

A few weeks ago Katelynn Mayers was crowned Miss Delaware's Outstanding Teen 2010!! She will be going on to compete for Miss America's Outstanding Teen this August. I have watched her grow over the past couple years. I am so proud of her, and I know she will do us proud this summer.

This was also a time that we said farewell to my little sis Danielle Marshall. We did a duet to Last Dance (she danced while I sang) and it was one of the most enjoyable performances I have ever had.

All of the girls did a fantastic job. They are proof that there is something to be proud of about our younger generation. They are role models for their friends, families, and communities.

I was excited to see that so many of the Miss Delaware local titleholders came to watch and support the pageant as well. This shows the great partnership the two organizations have, and I am proud to be a part of it.

Go Red for Women

Being that February is Heart Month, every year at the Sheraton the American Heart Association has a Go Red for Women luncheon and fashion show. I had the honor of being a part of it and modeling my Heather French Henry gown from Miss America. This year they had to have it in the atrium and ballroom of the hotel in order to seat the number of guests that attended! All of the models looked fabulous. Local businesses had women model their fashions in support of heart health awareness.

One of the models was my sister queen Brittany Dempsey, Miss Delaware 2007. She also wore a gown from Miss America if I am not mistaken. I can only hope and pray that I still fit into my Miss America wardrobe years after I give over the crown!

Another one of the models was my good friend Hope. We decided, while we were waiting to start the show, that it was only appropriate to crown her for being and looking so fabulous. That girl always has it going on! Needless to say we had a blast and enjoyed a wonderful lunch in support of national Heart Month.
