Autograph signing

Howdy! I am currently working on setting up an autograph signing with Camille la Vie at the Springfield Mall. It is a boutique that also sells wedding dress but the store is definitely fit for a queen...which is every woman! More information later.

A Halloween Party!

Hey all! I will be at the Springfield mall from 3-5pm on October 31 for a Halloween celebration. There is facepainting and some cool games as well as trick-or-treating from 5-7pm. I won't be there for the trick-or-treating because I need to get home to see the neighborhood kids have fun. Hope to see you there.

September Contest Winner!

I am honored to have one the US Beauties Pageant September contest. I won a beautiful set of earrings that I will be wearing at the national pageant. We had to write about our "finest pageant moment" and since I haven't been competiting that long I chose to write about a time during a pageant when my pinwheels for a costume wouldn't work and the judges started laughing (didn't hurt my feelings...it was pretty funny). I think this is my first time winning something and I am excited. Coming up on Saturday is my crowning ceremony. I am really excited. I am wanting more appearances in Virginia so if you know of any businesses that are looking for a "celebrity" email me at mrsvirginia.beauties@yahoo.com

Graciously,

Bozzelli's Bros Deli Grand Opening

Today I welcomed guests to the grand opening of Bozzelli's Bros Deli! What a great group of people to meet with. There was complimentary food from 11-12. I love doing things like this for small businesses because they make this place seem more like my hometown. Dakota was a big hit, as always. I made a few contacts for future appearances. It was a great day.

Alexandria Arts Festival, September 12 2009

I had a great time looking at what the local artists are coming up with these days. I met a lot of really neat people including Miss Senior Virginia. Such a lovely lady. I would have loved to been able to get some new pieces of art but most things were way out of our price range. There was some beautiful jewelry, http://www.sdjdesigns.com/ , was a favorite of mine. Dakota got to meet a giant parrot!

I got the idea of Mrs. pageants out there, a lot of people didn't know a Mrs pageant existed.

Fall Fashion show in the works!

Hey! I am currently working on putting together a fall fashion show on Fort Belvoir. I think our tax-free exchange is something we should take advantage of so I will be working with the PX for the donation of clothes (that way they can advertise their merchandise).

I will be working with MWR for the money part. We will have lights, music and tons of seating.

We want to have all ages, from the toddlers to adults that way everyone can check out what they have at the PX. This should be tons of fun.

Photograher found!

I think I found my photographer for my fun crown and banner shoot. Visit her website at www.perfectlyposhphotography.com to see some of her work. I look forward to working with her and have some great fun ideas for this shoot.

I am headed to Camille la Vie for my dress, I will wear this dress for my shoot and then again for my crowning celebration in October. Now I just need to find a great pair of heels to go with it. I can do shoe shopping without any troubles.... it the pants shopping because I can never find the right pants that make me go WOW!

Graciously,
