I've mentioned it many times before, I want to do another pageant. After reflecting and talking with some other girls, I wasn't sure if Miss Washington USA was the pageant for me. Don't get me wrong, the staff and amazing women who competed made me really think if I wanted to not go back. Truth be told, there are many other pageant systems and some fit my personality and messages I want to spread a bit better than others.
I was on Pageant Planet which I'm sure any person into pageants has been on. In fact, just finding the link makes me want to scour their site again. On said website I stumbled across the top pageant system and on it was the Miss Earth system. Upon reading what they were about "Beauties for a Cause", environmental awareness I knew that this was a pageant right up my ally. I became a vegan for environmental impact and strive everyday to make better and more informed decisions to cut down my carbon footprint.
To compete in the US pageant you have to submit an application and pass an interview. During my interview the pageant was explained and I loved their message, the importance of our platform and the girl as whole and not just a beauty (here's an article a/b a town that banned the "beauty" in "beauty pageants"). I think it's vitally important for pageant contestants to not just be trained to do the right thing but to live it and I feel that this pageant does a good job of that, at least from my discussions. Corresponding with those running the pageant have been informative, pleasant, and personable; it's not just a business.
All this being said, I am proud to announce that I have passed the initial scorings and have been accepted into a NATIONAL pageant. I'm currently raising money and getting fit for this July pageant! I am so proud to keep expanding my horizons and finding new venues to meet new and talented women and also to be a role model of change. I will keep everyone updated on what happens on this blog!
