My Week Judging Miss Virginia

Miss Virginia 2014 and Runners-Up
(Copyright 2014 Julius Tolentino)

Last week I had one of the most fulfilling opportunities of my life…serving as a judge for the 2014 Miss Virginia Scholarship Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss America Pageant! As such, I got to meet and get to know 26 of the most beautiful, charismatic and talented young women from across the state of Virginia. I’ve judged several other similar competitions in the past, but this was by far the toughest and most meaningful.

Post-pageant afterparty with two contestants, Addison Walker and Savannah Lane.

As a former titleholder in the Miss Virginia system, it was especially fun (albeit a bit stressful) for me to be on the other side of the table. The women that participate in this week-long competition must not only be attractive, which includes looking fabulous in a swimsuit, they must also be intelligent and well-spoken as evidenced in a private and on-stage interview; committed to a platform beneficial to society; and poised (ie: able to walk elegantly in an evening gown while connecting non-verbally with an audience). As this is a part of the Miss America Organization, these ladies must also be able to showcase a talent. This is where judging can get to be really tough! We saw everything from seriously phenomenal baton-twirling, to Broadway stage-worthy singing, to classical piano performances. One contestant had even worked with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater!

The winner, Courtney Garrett, performed an operatic classical vocal, “Parla Piu Piano” from “The Godfather”. Her platform, “Defying Disabilities” centered on understanding and accepting the challenges people with disabilities encounter in everyday life. She encourages people to become better educated and involved with the struggles of the disabled. I wish her the best of luck at Miss Miss America!

As a bonus, I got to work with an incredible group of fellow judges, including a former Miss Texas, former Miss Louisiana and ABC7 Chicago news anchor Hosea Sanders, who I’m sure will be a lifetime friend!

Finally, I was thrilled to get to know Bobbie Eaks, who hosted the preliminaries and final show. Bobbie is a 2-time Emmy Award nominated actress best known from her work on “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful”, both on CBS. She’s not only a wonderful actress, but also a fantastic singer and one of the nicest people around!

True Beauty

We all know that there are all kinds of beauty. Some are blessed with physical beauty, others with a beautiful mind, and still others with a beautiful spirit. Author, educator, actress, producer and poet Maya Angelou possessed all of these. She lived a long and full life, yet many of us who admire her and her work are saddened at her passing yesterday at the age of 86.

I especially love her poetry. Her rich and powerful words resonate with so many of us, regardless of any perceived cultural, religious or economic differences. Phenomenal Woman, one of her most well-known works, is one of my favorites because in it she reminds us that all women are beautiful:

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

~Maya Angelou

Sharply Shredded: Fashion on a Mission

On one of my recent It’s a Glam Thing beauty segments for Charlotte Today, I had the chance to meet a young lady who has found a way to combine two of her passions: fashion design and helping her community. Sharply Shredded is a brand new and totally cool clothing line founded by Charlotte designer Alexandra Evans. What makes her line unique is that every piece is hand shredded and woven into different designs, ensuring that no two are ever the same. So if you have one of her shirts, rest assured that you’ll never run into someone else wearing the same thing. Here’s mine!:

But another aspect of this company that makes it even more unique is its commitment to supporting and making a difference in the community. Working closely with local homeless shelters and ministries to help provide job opportunities for those down on their luck, Sharply Shredded hires less fortunate and displaced men and women to help produce their merchandise. So in turn, the sales of these items directly benefit the employees by enabling them to provide for their families. Sounds great to me:)

For more information on the company visit www.SharplyShredded.com or www.Facebook.com/SharplyShredded or call 704-724-8914.

Fruit for your skin

Remember, just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fresh produce at it’s peak in the Fall. When the air turns cool and the trees are ablaze with color, it’s time to taste the autumn harvest. Fall’s crop of fruits and vegetables offers a range of intense flavors and great textures. In autumn farmers’ markets and grocery stores are packed with fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, pomegranates, cranberries and even mangos.
