Junkies Predict Miss Rhode Island 2016

Alexandra Curtis is a name you should get familiar with…

alexandra-curtis-miss-rhode-island-41e95038cb32eda4

Not because she was a fabulous representative as Miss Rhode Island 2016 (even though she was…), but because Alexandra – is going places.

Take one peek at Allie’s social media and you’ll instantly see that she is driven, accomplished, and a networking fool (and that’s a good thing!)!

Allie’s platform is titled, “Leading Ladies: Equipping Young Women with the Skills to Lead”.  She is passionate about politics and motivating more women to enter the political arena.  She was elected Student Body President at Syracuse University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude… And then decided to continue her education at Brown University (getting her Masters in Public Affairs) while maintaining her duties as Miss Rhode Island.

I suspect one day in the future, we’ll see Allie’s name on the ballot running for office… Until then, you can find her running another fellow Miss America contestant’s political campaign!  Yes – Allie has agreed to work with Miss Vermont 2010 Caroline Bright, on her current campaign for State Senate in Vermont!

Junkies loved getting to know Allie a little bit better during her recent podcast… And it’s no joke that there are incredible opportunities ahead of her!  Mainly because Allie has decided to pursue the things that scare her (catch her podcast at this link)… We know that kind of courage ALWAYS gets rewarded – And we can’t wait to see how Allie “takes on the world” in the future!

Good Luck Allie!  Junkies hope we get the chance to vote for you one day in the future!

And now, who has the best chance at being named Miss Rhode Island 2016?

Weekend Wrap Up – May 15, 2016

Hey Junkies – Welcome Back!!!

I’m afraid we fell off the wagon last weekend – Between Mother’s Day, a dead cell phone and a busy family schedule, I completely forgot to write a post acknowledging the winner of Miss Nevada from last weekend… My Bad… My apologies… Here’s what you missed…

CONGRATULATIONS BAILEY GUMM!!!

13094295_502392043285613_8832810457701238234_n

Bailey entered the Miss Nevada pageant in one of the most difficult positions – a two-time first runner up who was hoping to win it all this year, and she did!  Now, one of the benefits of offering today’s wrap-up post a week later, is that we found the Top 5 announcement and Bailey’s crowning moment on video!  Check it out!

 

In addition to being a two-time first runner up, Bailey also served as Miss Nevada’s Outstanding Teen 2011 – and is related to the late Judy Garland (who was born Frances Gumm).  Congrats again Bailey – Junkies look forward to watching you during your year as Miss Nevada!

Regarding our results, Junkies certainly redeemed ourselves (thank heavens!)… We were 4/5 in Nevada (whooooo hooooooo!), after only going 1/5 most recently in New Hampshire.  Junkies accurately chose Bailey Gumm, 1st RU Briana Neben, 2nd RU Shelly Salbedo and 3rd RU Paige Melanson (however, we missed 4th RU Jenna Holridge).

That means we’re now 2 for 3 in picking state winners and 7/12 in picking ladies who finish in the Top 5 (or Top 2 – as was the case for Miss Maine).

State Pageants 2017

And, as you can see above, there’s another state contest happening this weekend – It’s Miss Rhode Island week – and Junkies can’t wait to see who takes the title in the Ocean State!  If you’d like to see who we think has the best chance at being named Miss Rhode Island, just click here to join Pageant Junkies Premium. 🙂

And remember – As we always say – When it comes to our top 5 lists, if we say your name, we hope you prove us right! But if we don’t say your name, WE HOPE YOU PROVE US WRONG! ? GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!

Junkies Predict Miss Nevada 2016

487332920

Katherine Kelley is an All-American kind of girl.

Katherine was born in Kentucky, and went to school in Alabama, before moving with “Teach for America” to Nevada, where she won the Miss Nevada crown!

As a Math Teacher, Katherine’s platform was a direct result of what she saw in the classroom.  Entitled, “Every Day Counts: A Comprehensive Plan for Improving School Attendance,” Katherine dedicated her time as Miss NV to encouraging children to attend school each and every day, knowing what a difference daily attendance would make in their academic careers.

487675296

In an article in the UNLV News Center, Katherine also offers some great advice for students or aspiring teachers:

“Remember that no one is perfect. You will make mistakes and you will struggle at some point on your journey. You will be discouraged. In those times, remember why it is that you are passionate about your field and learn from your mistakes. Learning to grow and adapt will carry you very far in life.”

Those are some great words of wisdom from Katherine – Not just for teachers/students, but for the rest of us as well! Your year as a state or local titleholder might not be “perfect” – But you can still have a significant impact on everyone who crosses your path. 🙂

Junkies know Katherine was able to do just that… And her year as Miss Nevada had a strong impact on her – as well as on the people she met along the way.  Kudos Katherine! And here’s to many more years of awesome impact to come!

Weekend Wrap Up – May 1, 2016

Welcome Back Junkies!

Two Weekends Down – Two State Winners Crowned!

Our latest titleholder is none other than CAROLINE CARTER, MISS NEW HAMPSHIRE!!!

13092189_1013397528695882_4765502792281150822_n

Caroline is the 2nd former Outstanding Teen state titleholder to be named her state winner this year – She was Miss NHOT 2014 when she was only 16 years old!  Now, at the ripe old age of 18, she’s headed to Miss America!!!

The remainder of the Top 5 included: 1st RU Lauren Percy, 2nd RU Katie Smith, 3rd RU Mariah LaRoque and 4th RU Katie Masso-Glidden. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a video of Caroline’s preliminary talent winning performance 🙂 THE GIRL CAN SING!!!

Junkies offer BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Caroline – She’s the PERFECT example of someone who is uber-talented, well-spoken, and even at the age of 18, she must’ve handled her very first Miss New Hampshire week like a charm! She certainly had our attention, even though we didn’t have her name listed among our Top 5 picks…

Regarding our results – It’s no secret Junkies have struggled to pick accurate winners for Miss New Hampshire… Over the past 4 years of making predictions, we’re officially 1/4 (lol – actually – that’s really painful to write).  There’s no other state in the union that has our number like New Hampshire! Gotta get back on track in 2017!

13100911_10208269083980494_7159023313619172445_n

Overall, we ended up only 1 for 5 (accurately picked Lauren Percy in the top 5).  That means, although we picked Miss Maine last week, we’re 50/50 right now, and we need to seriously step up our game before next week’s Miss Nevada competition!

Miss Nevada takes place May 5th and 6th (Thursday and Friday) – which means, our predictions will be available on Wednesday. If you’d like to see who we’re selecting for Miss NV (and whether or not we can get back on track), just click here to join Pageant Junkies Premium. 🙂

And remember – As we always say – When it comes to our top 5 lists, if we say your name, we hope you prove us right! But if we don’t say your name, WE HOPE YOU PROVE US WRONG! ? GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!

Junkies Predict Miss New Hampshire 2016

1-holly-blanchard

Holly Blanchard is a walking billboard for growing up in the Miss America program…

After competing for 5 years in the Outstanding Teen program – Holly competed for 6 MORE YEARS in the Miss New Hampshire program, before finally taking home the crown!  Oh – And in the process, Holly also took home an unbelievable $45,000 in scholarships (no joke!)!

That level of perseverance is pretty amazing if we do say so ourselves…

Holly Crowning for homepage - Katrina Bernard
Katrina Bernard Photography

Holly said that when she placed as the 1st Runner up to Miss New Hampshire in 2014, it was the first time that she really believed that she could actually win the crown.  You see, Holly grew up watching not just Miss America – but she grew up watching the Miss New Hampshire pageant… And she’d been dreaming of the opportunity to perhaps be Miss New Hampshire, since she was 8 years old…

Screenshot-2015-05-03-at-3.40.13-PM-771x368

Junkies LOVE it when dreams come true for pageant winners – And we know, this dream is just one in a series of future dreams on the horizon for Holly! As someone who works for the Make A Wish Foundation in New Hampshire, Holly’s headed for many more “dream opportunities” to come. 🙂

Oh – and in case you missed it, we just featured a special podcast wth the lovely Holly Blanchard at this link… Totally worth the listen!

CONGRATS AGAIN HOLLY! Loved watching you this year as Miss NH – And can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you!!! #BigJunkieLove
