I have been a huge fan of beauty pageants since 1998. I was 12 and was incredibly awestruck at their gowns and the way they carry themselves on stage. That was when I fell head over heels for strapless gowns (must get one of those someday!). Anyway, fast forward to 2002, I taped the Miss USA 2002 pageant and was instantly hooked on the Miss Universe Organization's 3 pageants. Miss USA is one of them.
I gotta say, despite the questionable ways the organization handle the pageants and what anti-pageant fans say about it - I look up to these beauty queens. (The good ones, duh). If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't know anything about volunteering and giving back to society. These women have played a part in influencing the way I live my life positively (still getting there though).
Miss USA 2009 is coming up, so these are the ones I've picked to make the Top 15 based solely on headshots.
