The American Legion Auxiliary invited us to perform at a very special show. Our opener, "Still The One." Jr. Glory Girl, Chelsea, sings a solo. Our Elvis medley and "All Shook Up!" Our Country Medley! YEEHAW! They all stood up when we sang "God Bless The U.S.A. We were so proud to be a part of the welcoming group for the American Legion Auxiliary National President, Elsie Bailey.
Shamus O'Brien, Executive Director of the Mrs. Connecticut America pageant, invited us to perform. The pageant took place at Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino. With Shamus after the pageant.
With our Jr. Glory Girl, Carolyn - also Miss Teen Hemisphere. She also sang at the pageant.
Meeting the new Mrs. Connecticut America.
After our performance at Mohegan Sun, we sign the "wall of fame." You wouldn't believe the names of the performers that have been on that stage - and now we added ours too!
Connecticut (still a Virginia gal at heart!), United States
I've been so blessed to have such a wonderful life! It's because of pageants that I even realized my full performance potential. After I became involved in the Miss Virginia America preliminaries, I was encouraged by many to sing. (My first talent was comedy!) I then became part of the Miss VA U.S.O. Troupe. I moved from my home in VA to Connecticut and became a member of the Miss CT U.S.O. Troupe and subsequently, a Liberty Miss. I was blessed to tour 6 times to over 15 countries performing for our Troops. In 2000, another Liberty Miss and I formed The Glory Girls and we've performed for our Veterans ever since. I also act, dance and serve my community and have logged over 7,000 volunteer hours!
Also in 2000, I met my wonderful husband, David; we were married in 2003; and had our first child, Delilah, in 2005. I still enjoy pageants to this day and thank my lucky stars for the doors that they opened! I am constantly updating my websites below, so feel free to keep checking back. (It takes a loooong time to scan all those photos in!)
(P.S.: Everyone says that I'll probably be the oldest pageant queen/U.S.O. performer in the world! I think I'm okay with that!)
