Wow! What a competition! I picked a few of my favorites, but I was rooting for Erica Nego probably because I knew it was her first pageant and because she came dressed as Cinderella and read a story at my daughter's Princess Party a few weeks earlier! I didn't even know she was going to be in the pageant!! What a surprise when she told me I had met her 6 months earlier at the Hair District!
She looked regal and stood out from the crowd with her unique dress from Bessie's Boutique and matching mirror earrings! ERica had a flawless figure in it and her presence the entire time exuded a queenly and kind attitude. I was so impressed!! There was heavy competition, with Danniel Epps, previously Miss MN International (I had watched her win then and knew she'd be stiff competition with her previous experience and her interview capabilities). Danni became first runner up and I could see that Erica was estatic!! Erica also won Most Photogenic.
Vanessa Johnston won the Teen division and she was my winner if the judges wanted exotic and stunning versus the "All America Teen" look---she just appeared so much older and more sophisticated than I would imagine a teen to be! She had the poise, height and grace of a "Miss" contestant. But her stand out looks, height and intelligence, won out in the end. Congratulations Vanessa! You will do well at nationals for sure!
I also think Erica will be in the Top 10 in the nationals and I see her taking the crown! Congratulations Erica!!! Well done!
Jason Young from Youngquest received the sponsor award and had several competitors in the top 10--Congrats Jason! You deserve it!
