Miss and Miss Teen United States - World!

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:30:17 -0600

I had an amazing time judging the Miss Teen United States - World and the Miss United States - World pageants this weekend. All the girls were amazing! Judging was a tough job because these young ladies are beautiful inside and out.

During the interview portion of the competition I learned many of them have, at their young age, started non-profit organizations and are changing not only their community but the world.

Michelle Leonardo is the 2009 Miss Teen United States - World and Aileen Yap is the 2009 Miss United States - World.

Follow the progress of these two ladies and their involvement in the community through the program Web-site: www.missteenunitedstates-world.us

Good Luck, Michelle and Aileen.

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:59:13 -0600

I remember swapping my clothing with my sisters (and now my nieces) growing up. It was always lots of fun, especially swapping accessories, handbags, jewelry and hats. So when I learned about the Diva Exchange, 'I thought, What a bright idea.'

Here is the link to Marian Bell's e-mail. She has all the answers:)

You can also join the Diva Exchange group on Facebook. Here is that link:
