Time of my Life! Busy~Busy
Hello again!
I hope you have all had a FABULOUS weekend, I sure have! So many exciting things have happened and I can NOT wait to share them all with you. I also have a couple sneak peaks for you at the end! It's so great to have you back, visiting my blog. :) Thank you!
Over the past couple of weeks, I have had so many amazing opportunities and have been very blessed to be able to meet some wonderful people.
To start out, I want to share with you what I think is one of the best perks of being Miss Arkansas USA 2011. I was able to speak at Hackett Elementary and Hardin Elementary before their Benchmark tests last week. As most of you know, kids are my passion and being able to spend time and speak to them is a big highlight in my reign. I was able to give them a little pep talk about the Benchmark Test and discuss how important the test really is. However, my favorite part was when the kiddos got to give feedback and ask questions. Let me just say that the saying, "Kids say the darndest things." is SO true. In fact, I probably learned a lot from them. Haha! My favorite question was at Hackett Elementary when I was getting ready to leave. I was saying goodbye to everyone while getting the best and sweetest hugs when I was tapped on the shoulder by a little boy with a VERY serious question. "Miss Arkansas, Miss Arkansas, I just have one last thing to ask you..." Judging by the look on this little man's face, I knew that I had to give him my undivided attention. "I just have to know, what is it like to be famous?!" The kids at both schools absolutely made my day! There is no other feeling in the world that compares to the smiles on their faces, the HUGE hugs that take the breath out of you, hearing a little girl say, "Miss Arkansas USA, you are my role model.", and the thought that something I did or said might make a difference in their life forever and give them hope that nothing is impossible. After leaving, my Facebook Fan page blew up with the sweetest comments in the world by these kids. It is those little things that make every day as Miss Arkansas USA, worth it!!!!
Yesterday, April 17th, I was asked to emcee a very exciting event at the Clinton Library! Haute in the City Fashion show was held to showcase the Fall/Winter 2011 fashions of Arkansas' very own, Linda Rowe Thomas. The fashion show featured Romas by Linda Rowe Thomas and introduced Michael Blake Menswear by Michael Bennett. We also had additional Fashion and Accessories sponsored by the FABULOUS boutique, Jeante' One of One, Belle Vie Designs, and Solemates. All of which are located in Pleasant Ridge Shopping Center!! You should definitely visit them.
As you can see, it was a great time! I was very blessed to fill in and attend such a great show. Linda Rowe Thomas is a very talented designer and I recommend that everyone check her out! I can't describe what an honor it was getting to know her. Her line can be found at Jeante' and I believe her online store will be available to you all very soon!
Also, the tee-shirts in the photo are available to everyone! It is part of Linda's new campaign. For every tee-shirt sold, the proceeds are given to a needy family in Japan. What a wonderful cause?!! Get yours and make a difference! Check out her website- www.romasdesigns.com and like her Fan Page on Facebook
