There She Is, There She Gives, There She Creates!

Bear with me, as I'm still trying to catch everyone up on recent Miss Carrollton appearances. My schedule has been SOOO busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I have to admit, it is very difficult to be a full-time student, graduate assistant, clinician, pageant contestant, and to try and have a little bit of a social life. With final exams (hello 4.0 #scholarship), community service engagements, mock interviews, talent preparation, two-a-day workouts, summer school, externship, and appearances, I am always on the go. But it's so worth it! Here is just a snippit of what I have been doing lately!

I recently had the opportunity to judge the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center Chili Cookoff Contest! Talk about a delicious appearance! I was so fortunate to meet some great faculty and staff from the UNT medical school, and I got to taste lots of yummy, spicy chili made my student organizations. It was so hard to pick one winner! Here are a few pics of the fun!

I just had to have a little fun with the Mardi Gras mask!

Earlier this Spring, I took some photos with the AMAZING Zac Grimaldo. Let me tell you about my friend, Zac.

Here we are making our signature pose at Miss Texas last year.

I absolutely LOVE this guy! He is a true artist with his camera. He brings out the best in everyone's pictures. Zac is also a wonderful friend. Here are some of the fantastic photos we took recently.

Zac is responsible for my wonderful Miss Texas Headshot! I could not be happier with it!! This is what the judges will see prior to meeting me during interview.

Zac has a partner in crime, Micaela Soto. Micaela is one of my dearest friends. She does hair and makeup for my all of my photos and big events. Thank you, Micaela, for making me look and feel glamorous like a Miss Texas should.

She is gorgeous and oh so fashionable!! If you have a wedding, prom, special event, or just want to look smashing, she is the go-to girl! You can find her at Phillip K Thomas Salon in Dallas, or at hairandmakeupbymicaela.com


Shamrock Texas

On St. Patty's Day Weekend, I had the opportunity to host the Miss Irish Rose pageant in none other than Shamrock, Texas! My dear friend, Elvis Moya, asked me to help him with this event and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Elvis and I go way back to my beginning competition days as Miss Lubbock and he's a Red Raider. Get your Guns UP! I am so glad that we had the chance to work together again!

Elvis and I with some of the judges for Miss Irish Rose! We had Stephanie Tucker, the owner of the Amarillo Venom Arena Football team, Jamie Biter-Thompson, a former Miss Shamrock, and Rouzbeh Kordestani, a plastic surgeon from the Amarillo area.

Thank you, Elvis, for asking me to help. He put on a fantastic event and it was so wonderful to see a fellow Red Raider again!

Stay tuned to hear more about my travels and appearances!

All of my love,
Brittney
