Angela Venditti is one of the few queens who won her state pageant last year, but wasn’t on our ‘watch list’ (which goes to prove, you can ‘take it or leave it’ when it comes to our opinions – that’s all they are… opinions!)… But the 3rd time proved to be the charm for Angela as Miss Michigan 2012…
And despite the fact she wasn’t on our original list, she ‘wowed’ us like crazy when we saw her on stage with one of our beloved Mis Americas… Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (see left)! Kaye Lani was in Vegas celebrating her 25th Anniversary as Miss America (how is that possible???) and looked crazy-fabulous herself in her “Silver Anniversary’ gown! If all our Miss Americas could look this way or better 25 years post-crowning, what a testament that would be!
This year’s Miss Michigan is CRAZY STACKED with returnees and girls who could take it all… Trust us, researching Miss MI took much longer than most other states – We wanna get this one right this year ๐
