News Miss Universe and Fellow Pageant Winners in New Swimsuit Photo Shoot

Hello, gorgeous!
Three of the world's most beautiful women met up for an official Miss Universe Organization photo shoot. Miss Teen USA Stormi Henley and Miss USA Kristen Dalton joined Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela for the New York session, shot by fashion photographer Fadil Berisha.
In addition to sexy swimsuits, the trio donned stacks of gorgeous bangles by Same Sky, a fair trade jewelry company aimed to empower women in Rwanda.
The cause is near and dear to the Miss Universe Organization, StyleList learned. Same Sky provides HIV positive Rwandan women -- all of whom survived the country's 1994 genocide -- with the chance to earn money as artisans.
Each Miss Universe title-holder works with HIV/AIDS organizations, such as the Latino Commission on AIDS and YouthAIDS/PSI, during her reign to promote HIV/AIDS education and prevention.

Tattoo Legislation

Many people have tattoos as a personal form of self-expression. But did you know that in many states that if you have received a tattoo, that you will have to wait 12 months to donate blood?
Seems extensive however the risk, even today, of infection or inappropriate needle usage is the concern. New proposed regulatory legislation in Florida, centers around tattoo facilities utilizing stricter licensing and continuing education, however, as a benefit could increase the donor pool by allowing individuals with new tattoos to donate.
While this current regulation is not under review in other states, setting the precedent is important in order to broaden the donor pool across the country. With each journey, you must take the first step.

A Crowning Moment!
A Crowning Moment!
By thirty-six I was a registered lobbyist convincing officials to pass bills.  I interfaced with power brokers, politicians.  This was orchestrated around schedules of children whose lives were interwoven to the best of my ability.  From the vantage point of others, I lead a glamorous life.
