Miss La Crosse more than meets the eye

clipped from media.www.theracquet.net UW-L student uses pageant to promote deeply personal passion Many people don't realize how much time and dedication go into beauty pageants. Being a pageant contestant requires much more than a pretty face; it requires hard work and a desire to be heard. Recently crowned Miss La Crosse, UW-L sophomore Raenna Johnson, has what it takes to succeed. Johnson first became involved with beauty pageants her senior year of high school when she won Miss Holmen 2007. The chance to win scholarships was what pushed her towards being a contestant, and her Miss Holmen win rewarded her with $2,000 in scholarship money. Johnson also wanted to use pageants as a way to project a message very important to her. About four years ago, her brother Tyler ended his life as the result of a methamphetamine addiction. This tragedy inspired Johnson to speak out on drug use prevention and awareness, which was her platform in the recent Miss La Crosse pageant.

Taking Time For Life's SImplest Pleasures

clipped from debragilmour.blogspot.com The day I turned fifty the gift my daughter and son-in-law gave me was the news I was going to be a grandmother.  What a welcome to that golden age which is sometimes dismissed as a hallmark of the best being over. Instead it was the signal of the infancy of what has proven to be the most incredible time in my life!  My little birthday present (also known as Maddie) continues to bring joy in our lives in ways I could not dream were possible.  Today was one of those days. At a time in my life where possibilities abound and life is busy, my granddaughter's excitement reminds me we often get so enthralled in our vocations and avocations we sometimes forget to stop for a moment and take in the simplicity and wonderment of a less than two year old child. When it was time to leave I was reminded of the importance of enjoying the simplest of things in life.  Spending time with Maddie was a moment that I would not have traded for all the flash bulb or client possibilities in the world.

Sterling Reference Labs Welcomes Beauties of America's 50s

clipped from debragilmour.blogspot.com One of my goals as the 2009 titleholder for Beauties of America's 50s is to bring much needed attention the issue of alcohol and drug abuse prevention and treatment. A key partner is making this goal a reality is the nationally recognized Sterling Reference Laboratories, of Tacoma, Washington. Sterling truly has proven to be the gold standard when it comes to lab services for businesses and government agencies that require drug testing to ensure the public's safety in the fields of transportation and healthcare. Their state of the art lab services and testing protocols ensure compliance with federal standards, and assist the addictions treatment field in serving those who are receiving care for their disease.

World Record Thriller! with Mrs. Illinois

clipped from mrsillinoisamerica2009.blogspot.com There was a reason why we got some serious rain and cold for the BC Walk Saturday Morning, because I needed some help in the "bad hair" department..."Why on earth would you want that?!" you ask? Because Saturday night was the Thrill the World Global Event at Six Flags Great America where we, along with parks, theaters, etc across the world, all perform "Thriller" at the same time in an effort to break the Guinness Book of World Records! I was asked by Six Flags to teach the choreography and be a part of the event. So Saturday afternoon, scary hair, cobwebs and all, photographer and exceptional friend, Jason Pawlowski, and I were escorted into the deepest parts of Six Flags to be "Zombie-fied". I don't think I have ever seen anything so cool! I got to be made up by the extraordinarily talented team of JPM Productions...WOW!!! That's serious airbrushing, folks! You can see the dance on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v029Ulbf0II - can you find me in the crowd?!?! :)

Sexy Twins Win Pageant! Tracy Turnure

clipped from www.postchronicle.com One sexy pair of fraternal twins have possibly made history in the world of beauty pageants. Beauty Tracy Turnure has been crowned the new Miss Washington USA 2010 by none other than her twin sister, Tara Turnure, who was Miss Washington 2009! Tara said after the pageant: "It may never happen again...I think we made pageant history." Tara also thinks the fact that they're fraternal twins is what allowed her sister to be crowned.
