She's beauty and she's grace...she's....

Miss Selfie States! Go with me, here. When you give a blogger a giveaway, she'll go crazy. When you give a girl with an internship a project that her face is on the campaign of, she'll be buck wild ecstatic about it. So that's where you come in.

Do you see little Miss selfie pants up there? Familiar face, right? That is moi. I intern for the amazing www.thepageantguy.com where I work on projects, like these, as well as come up with ideas, promote, and have the time of my life.

If you could share this with your friends who are pageant stars to be, titleholders, or yourself, the future Miss insert title here. Get out of bed/stop drinking coffee (kidding - just multitask), put on some make up (if not, filters are fun thats what I do) and get to posting!

It would mean the woooorld to me if you could help spread the word so hopefully one day I can land my dream job!

And for a bit of embarrassment for myself...when my mom signed me up to compete in my first pageant and I had braces and NO clue of anything going on. Safe to say it changed my life for the better.

Pageant girl out.

MUO, #hireme please!

MUO as in Miss Universe Organization. My dream job is to be be a publicist for the organization, so what am I gonna do? Keep on truckin'. But I would honestly love any job in any pageant system. That would be the ultimate dream come true for me. 

Hopefully you avoided my tweets on friday/saturday night, but it was the 2013 Miss Teen USA pageant. 

I was 10 for 16 on the top 16 and 3 out of 5 on the bottom five.

So why am I not getting hired somewhere yet?

Also my tweets? I'd like to think I'm pretty funny.

The winner?

Raise your hand if you've learned more about pageants from reading my blog because otherwise you'd be clueless!

My best friend, Miss USA

Make sure you check out my blog biff Lauren's take on our super fab 24 hour blog date in DC. I keep rereading it because I would love anything to go back to those two days. It made my summer!
*****

Where do I begin? Maybe at the part that B called in sick to work (shhh) to come with me? Or maybe that he brought me chocolate covered gummy bears FOR BREAKFAST (which is my guilty pleasure)? Ok, that sounds about right. An early morning filled with excitement in the air. I was so excited. More excited than you've probably ever been. Not even kidding....After a train ride and running through the city we made it to 8th and 51st street. Can I get an Amen? Fab, thanks!

So I fangirl-ed. Hard. First off, before she got there I realized I was the oldest one there (besides parents). A girl who won a title in CT was there, a little girl who was with her rents, and two middle school girls who were somehow related to Miss USA (not too sure). But all I was thinking was How do they have twitters? They're like five....*I won this free trip through a twitter contest!!!!!* I of course put on my Alyssa Campanella phone case so people would realize how obsessed I am with pageants. In addition to drinking sbucks, I was off the walls bouncing. B wanted to punch me in the face multiple times, I'm sure. I was screaming/crying/singing/rambling. Maybe everyone wanted to ductape my mouth shut now that I think about it. I invited my pageant friend, Sam, along too and I was freaking out she wouldn't make it in time. SORRY TRYING TO NOT BORE YOU....Overall I was upset because noone was as excited as I was to be there. I saw Miss USA, Erin Brady, and cried. I get it I AM PATHETIC. I was so so so happy though. Since it's been a dream to meet a Miss USA. I introduced myself to her and she was like "Yeah I've seen your tweets before" and I showed her my Alyssa phone case. She laughed. Scooooooore! 

We were allowed to ask her questions and noone did but me. But I was lovin' every second of it. However, I was disappointed because 1. The tour was only 50 minutes when they said it would be an hour and a half and 2. They promised us pics and autographs and they only gave us one picture and they pushed her right out of there, and 3. the tour was lame. we didn't get to see much!!! I was upset but it was definitely a once in a life time experience for me. Also, even B can say he's met Miss USA. He is a trooper for coming with me and making my day the best it could be. I didn't want anyone else by my side that day (because he understands my craziness more than anyone ever) and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

And the winner is...

If you ever are extremely bored and want someone to talk your ear off, contact me and ask about pageants. I am obsessed. I was rooting for Alabama from the start and she was only the first runner up. Congrats to Connecticut! I, like many of my other friends, did NOT see that coming.  

If you ask any of my friends, they will tell you I am crazily obsessed with pageants. As well as damn proud to be Alyssa Campanella's number one fan! 

So sometimes I think I'm funnier than people think I am...

...After loosing three followers, I want to share with you all my favorite tweets of my own from the night.

1. whoever let PA in was drunk #sorrynotsorry.

2. You can go shave your back now, Bye texas.

3. It's ok. I hate all my tweets too. I just can't help my over excitement. I love pageants, incase you had no clue

4. Shout out to the 3 people that unfollowed me during #missusa. You're loss, kiddos. Welp here's til waiting til August for Teen USA tweets!

My friends posts about me:

1.Happy I'm not with Rachel watching Miss USA....still recovering from Miss America

2. Ok it's official Rachel has the best pageant tweets

Thought Alabama had it in the bag the whole time. Oh well.

So here's to waiting 365 more days until Miss USA 2014. On the bright side, Miss Teen USA is in August! 

Also check out/advertise with Pageant Spotlight. A website great for businesses or people to get their names out there, as well as an opportunity for pageant girls who need help to cover pageant expenses.

I know you might pass by and think, psh they don't need my money. But they do. If you can even donate a few dollars to the person of your choice (once their applications are loaded), you are helping change a girls life. 

Chug a beer with Miss Illinois (JK)

Alright if you know ANYTHING about pageants you know that girls during pageants cannot drink. Silly Luke Bryan! But it's ok Luke, I still think you're hot anyway and I'd sit in Suntan city catchin' these rays with you.

ANYWAY...this upcoming weekend (Sunday night) is the Miss USA 2013 pageant. *Screams like a little girl on the top of her lungs* Yea, I'm beyond excited. Last year, it was during prom weekend and I made everyone watch, even the guys. I let them poke fun about it at dinner before hand, but before I knew it, there boy eyes were glued to the screen. Yuppppp, just what I thought!

This year, there themed photo shoot was The Great Gatsby. Fadil Berisha is a photo genuis. They all looked so beautiful. If you are interested you can check out their headshots here to judge for yourself or wait til show time and see my obnoxious freak out tweets via @rgord. I've lost many followers this way and I'm damn proud of it. 

Here's who I like (based on their photos), and in no order:

 Michigan. Hellooooo eyebrows! I want!

New York. Graduated from the school I'm transferring from. 

She is gorgeous though! I'm so excited for her!

Oklahoma

Idaho

Rhode Island

New Jersey. I'm a jersey girl so this is basically obligatory...but she does look gorgeous!

Hope you tune in sunday too! Who do you think will win?

Heyyy Alyssa (Miss USA 2011)...how did you get here? :P
