I apologize for not updating my blog. These past few months have been extremely hectic! You guys wouldn't believe how much work goes into getting ready for a national competition. And on top of preparing for Miss USA, i'm still obligated to my appearances as Miss Florida! I really can't complain though, i am truly having the time of my life.
Lets see, since i last updated i've done a TON of appearances. I was a special guest at the Seminole Tribal Fair at the HardRock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, and the tribe also invited my mom and I to their Brighton Reservation to judge the Miss Brighton Princess pageant! Always a good time with the Seminoles! One of my favorite appearances so far has been Miss Florida USA Polo Day at the International Polo Club of Palm Beach. There was a delicious brunch, a great polo match, and I got to hang out with a bunch of my pageant friends and family! It was such a wonderful event!
Kayla and I had a blast at the Able Trust Foundation Gala @ Mar a Lago in Palm Beach, and we even got to meet Mr. Donald Trump himself. I was also an special guest and model in the "Green" fashion show at the Arthur Marshall Luncheon. I had the chance to help out the city of Hollywood at the International Cruise Line convention in Miami Beach, and was also a model in the Fashionably Green runway show during Miami Fashion week. There were 29 other international beauty queens in show, including Miss Colombia, Taliana Vargas (1st RU to Miss Universe!).
Aside from the exciting appearances, i've been gearing up for Miss USA.. BIG TIME! With the help of my outstanding team of interview coaches, stage coaches, designers, and personal trainers, I am beyond ready to kick butt at nationals! I can't thank you all enough for coming out to my send off party! We had such an overwhelming turn out and I really appreciate all of your support.
I'll be updating my blog as often as I can while i'm in Vegas! Keep your fingers crossed and keep me in your prayers :-)
Love,
Anastagia
