Miss Fairfield County/Miss New Haven County 2011 Pageant

Hello everyone,

Last weekend, I attended the Miss Fairfield County/ Miss New Haven County and Outstanding Teen Pageants. It is hard to believe that it was one of the final locals of the 2011 season which means Miss Connecticut is right around the corner. The pageant was wonderful (hats of to the Fairfield/ New Haven team) and to all the wonderful girls competing. And let me just say, it is almost as nerve-wrecking sitting in the audience as it is waiting on stage to see who will have the honor to represent this organization. Congrats to Acacia, Alexandria, Andee, and Emily on their new accomplishments and I'm looking forward to spending Miss CT week with them!

A Saturday as Miss Greater Hamden's OT

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a lovely holiday season and have begun to enjoy the New Year thus far! Yesterday, Danielle, Alexa, and I took a trip,once again, to the Square Foot Theater for the Semester Showcase.  It was an afternoon filled with various acts showcasing what each student had learned in the past weeks. My sister queens and I were very excited to also be able to perform throughout the show. I performed "A Change in Me," from Beauty and the Beast which happens to be one of my favorite songs from the show and I hope the audience liked it too! :) After the show, Amy, Danielle, and I (and of course the mom's) headed to Chili's in the hopes of having a fundraiser there soon and they gladly accepted. So, I will keep everyone posted on our fundraising dates because I hope you can join us for the night!

At night, my family as well as Danielle's gathered around my living room to watch the Super Bowl of Pageantry, Miss America. I was happy to see Brittany making many appearances throughout the night and even though see wasn't crowned Miss America, she is still our Miss America. Britt is an amazing young women and  I know that she is a wonderful role model for me and many of the other girls striving to become a state titleholder.  It was an exciting night and ended with Miss Nebraska being crowned Miss America. And just a little fun fact, Teresa, our new Miss America, is 17 and the youngest Miss America crowned. Just goes to show that age is only a number and shouldn't limit your capabilities.

Before Miss America. (See even pageant girls wear sweats!)
Much love and best wishes,
Brianna
