Sarah Palin Swimsuit Beauty Pageant Footage (Video) » Right CelebrityHere is the actual footage of Sarah Palin modeling a swimsuit in the Miss Alaska Beauty pageant. Yes, this swimsuit video is actually real and not photoshopped. See the video here.
Sarah Palin Swimsuit Video
We all know that Sarah Palin was first runner up in the 1984 Miss Alaska Beauty Pageant. She was Sarah Heath at that time. We’ve heard her talk about it and mention how it felt to her to have to stand on the stage and pose in a swimsuit. But where, oh where, were the videos of those beauty pageant days?
Well, it seems some guy up in Alaska had an old VHS tape of the pageant and …. you guessed it …. he saw an opportunity to digitize those tapes, upload them to YouTube and give the world the opportunity to see our next Vice President’s swimsuit beauty pageant footage. Its not an itsy bitsy bikini, but its pretty close. Don’t you just LOVE the internet!!!

Angela's Adventures: West Fest paradeWest Fest parade
I am bound and determined to catch this blog up so here you are yet another one of Angela's Adventures. This past Saturday, September 20 was a crazy busy day of appearances. The day started with my joined my sister queens, Brittany and Anna in the West Fest Parade and ended at the Mall and Macy's Shop for a Cause (the next post).
One of those goofy we took it ourselves photosYes you are looking at the picture right Brittany and I did show up in the same dress and no it wasn't planned. We both got the same dress from one of our FABULOUS sponsors Marjorie at Haute Boutique and since the color that had been chosen for the parade was turquoise we both ended up in the same dress. You decide who wore it better *wink* but remember mine had been picked up from the store 30 minutes before I showed up to the parade so it still needs to be taken in... and shortened, I'm going to make it cocktail length.

It should come as no surprise that I absolutely love pageantry and I’m going to throw everything I’ve got into making this the best system in
The industry as a whole has suffered somewhat of late but pageantry is steeped in tradition and we’re not going away!! Titleholders are making a difference and we should be proud of that and expect to be taken seriously. My aim this year is to bring elegance back to the forefront, and that’s where the phrase “Bringing Elegance Back” comes from.
We’re going to have fun, make lifelong friends and support each other throughout the pageant. There may only be one “winner” but each participant will leave with a sense of determination that they can do anything and they are BEAUTIFUL!! As they go out and work in their communities as local titleholders they will find that in helping themselves to be better persons they’ve taken that important first step that will enable them to help others, and find that offering a helping hand is the best feeling in the world.
I'm looking forward to this, and I will be working hard to make this the premier Teen & Miss Pageant in

Royalty Steps Off the Runway and into the Kitchen
New Orleans, LA, September 18, 2008- When a young boy was burned in a grease fire his parents found themselves struggling to pay the sky high medical bills. The parents, who work at beauty pageants as a videographer and photography team, reached out to the pageantry community for help.
The beauty queens decided to help in the way they are most comfortable with; competing. Not competing on the runway, but in the kitchen. The fundraising idea solicits beauty pageant queens to enter their favorite recipe in "The Celebrity Queen Cook Off.
Stacy Bsjorkman's son, Hunter, burned part of his body in a kitchen fire. He required a series of skin grafts and hospital stays. This placed a severe strain on the family emotionally and financially. The Bsjorkman family sent an email of distress to the pageant commu ity. Wanting to help Shelly Winters Black, a pageant director, came up with the Cook Off idea.
"I really want to help, so the greatest resource I have is the relationships in the pageantry community." said Shelly. "I put my thinking hat on and thought these beauty queens all love to compete, its their nature. So I came up with the idea for them to compete in a different way. The queens, and moms of kids with titles, are encouraged to pick their favorite recipe and enter it in the competition."
The recipes and dishes will be presented on Saturday September27, 2008 at 5pm in the Metarie Best Western Landmark Hotel. The Celebrity Queens Cook Off is held in conjunction with the Miss Louisiana 2008 Pageant held at the hotel located at 2601 Severn Avenue, Metairie, Louisiana 70002.
The dishes will be judged at 5.00pm by chef Beth Macalusa and the reigning Miss New Orleans Haley Ridgel. The winner will receive a banner and a crown as Miss Celebrity Queen Cook Off 2008.
To generate funds the entry fee for the contestants is $20, plus the dish, for the general public the ticket cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children to test the entries. In addition the recipes and pictures from the event will be compiled into an ebook available for $19.95. The book can be purchased online at two websites: www.shellyspageantexpress.com and www.directyourpageant.com
Fifty percent of proceeds from the night of the event will go to the Hunter Bsjorkman Fund and the rest will pay for the banner, crown and the room. One hundred percent of the cook book profits will go the Hunter Bsjorkman Fund.
The book can also be considered a promotional tool for queens and the titles they represent. All entries should include a picture and a bio with the queens titles. "If you have a title and a recipe you would like to enter but can't make the event then send the recipe, picture, bio and $20 entry fee to my email." says pageant director Shelly Winters Black. "You will be included in the book as well as contribute to paying little Hunters medical bills."
The email address to enter is: shellyspageantexpress@gmail.com
or you can send the check and recipe to:
Hunter Bsjorkman Fund
122 Kingston Dr.
Slidell, LA 70458
Mrs Black says a lot of the kids with titles have been entering the contest using family recipes. "It really makes me feel good to see the pageantry family come together to assist one of their own.
