Sisters Triumph the natural way
No makeup. No glitz. No problem.
Sisters Emily and Abby Hamilton, of North Bend, earned several awards at the National American Miss of Washington pageant.
Abby, participating for the third time, won second place in the photogenic competition and third runner-up in the talent competition.
Emily, 5, participating for the first time but in a different age bracket, won first place in the photogenic competition, third runner-up in talent and first place in the best thank-you note contest.
Emily also finished in the top 10 out of 47 contestants in the contest’s Princess division.
The pageant does not allow girls to look older than they are, does not allow glitzy dresses and does not allow makeup, said Donna J. Hamilton, the girls’ mother and a participant in the Miss New Jersey contest in her youth.
The contest happened Labor Day weekend at the Sea-Tac Hilton.
The sisters qualified for the national pageant in November at Disneyland.
“It was really fun,” said Abby, 8. “You get to meet new friends.”
Abby and Emily performed two dances as part of the talent portion of the contest. Asked if she wanted to someday participate in the Miss America pageant, Emily said she did not know, while Abby sounded a little less hesitant.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” she said.
Donna said being in pageants led her to a career in public relations and communications.
“It gave me the ability to be articulate and well-spoken,” she said. “It helped me in a plethora of things in life.”
She paid for her first year of college in 1989 with two pageants, she said.
Still, she did not want her girls in just any contest.
“I would never allow my girls to be in a glitz pageant,” she said.
Instead, Abby and Emily showcased their natural talents and natural looks on stage in something that turned into even more of a family affair when Emily was escorted on stage by her twin brother Michael.
Emily, the first-timer, also won $250 in cash, which Mom put into her college fund.
“She has a very quirky personality,” she said. “We weren’t sure how she was gonna do, so we just let her be her, and she did fantastically well.”
Her girls won plenty but did not win first place, and that was just fine by Donna.
“This tends to be honest and fair,” she said. “Each time, I tend to say the girl who wins should have won.”
The girls will continue participating in the pageant, but two years from now they will be in the same age division.
Having her girls compete against each other gives Donna pause.
“First and foremost, we care about what’s best for the girls, so if it means skipping the pageant for a year,” she said, “that’s what we would do.”

Kristen spent time volunteering at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte, NC. Second Harvest strives through education, advocacy, and partnerships to eliminate hunger by the solicitation and distribution of food. They provide a regional distribution warehouse and branches that supply food and grocery items to charitable agencies that assist people in need. Second Harvest service area population lives in poverty, including almost 170,000 children and seniors. In order to get this food into the community, Second Harvest relies on community volunteers to help sort and prepare food for distribution.
During her day of service, Kristen helped to organize the different food items and place them in the appropriate distribution bin. She was trained how to identify damaged food items and remove them from distribution. She also helped clean up the warehouse when the work was done. It was a lot of hard work, but very rewarding. The best part of volunteering is about helping people in need with this effort. Kristen loved serving her community and knowing that the day’s activities is essential to feeding families and children. She looks forward to serving again throughout the year.

Special guest appearance by: 2010 Miss Oregon Jr. Teen Cover Girl, TABETHA SCHULZ
Click Here for Tabetha’s Bio
UPDATE:
We all had a lot of fun and Tabetha met Connor Doran from America’s Got Talent. He was on this year’s show and brought back as a wild card, made it into the top 12 with his indoor kite flying.His videos are on YouTube. We watched as he flew his kite, the crowd was enamored. Tabetha worked the Kids Passport Table where she helped kids make their own kits. The weather was a little uncooperative and a sneaker wave took out the two big Crown kites pictured with Tabetha, and send the crowd running for higher ground. We all laughed once it was over it was really like a mini tsunami, and everyone was okay. Since the tide was so high some of the experienced kite fliers took to the ocean, Up to 7 people would fly in a tandem formation following the calls of one person, while the wave watcher monitored the ocean. Tabetha had fun visiting with attendees from Taiwan, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Japan, Victoria BC, Canada, Washington. California and Oregon to name a few.
Tabetha was invited to return to the spring kite festival. |

Dear Contestants,
I have been honored to represent Kentucky as the 2009 Junior Pre-Teen Cover Girl. I have greatly enjoyed my reign as Cover Girl and have participated in many exciting activities. Shortly after being crowned, I was honored by being invited to Frankfort to meet the Governor of Kentucky. After my meeting with Governor Beshear, I was given a personal tour of the Capitol by State Representative Teddy Edmonds.
I have also spent time this past year volunteering at my local senior citizen center and making several new friends there. I especially enjoyed putting together puzzles with the individuals and listening to their many stories! I also participated in activities to help raise funds for the foster children in my hometown. I was so excited to represent National American Miss while helping to raise money for such an important cause!
Finally, I traveled to California to participate in the National All-American Miss pageant where I was crowned National Cover Girl. I made many new friends from across the country, went to Disneyland, and toured Hollywood. I even got to drive down Rodeo Drive. I had so much fun!
I would like to thank all of my sponsors, as well as the National American Miss family, for this wonderful opportunity. I would also like to thank my mom, dad, sister, and entire family for all of their love and support. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
Congratulations to all contestants for making it this far, and good luck in the pageant and everything you do. Enjoy pageant weekend, relax, and most importantly have fun. Take the time to make new friends and ENJOY YOUR SPOTLIGHT!!!
Best Wishes and God Bless,
Brooke Halsey

It’s hard to believe my journey as your reigning National American Miss Kentucky Teen has come to an end. It has been an amazing year, filled with memories that I will treasure for a lifetime. I am honored to have worked with and been a part of the March of Dimes Organization, Cell Phones for Soldiers Foundation, and Samaritans Purse-Operation Christmas Child.
My most treasured memory of my reign was attending nationals. The entire week was a blast. I had an amazing time at Disneyland, where I got to meet and bond friendships with other queens from across the United States. I toured the streets of Hollywood and Rodeo Drive and participated in many activities while representing the great state of Kentucky.
Thanks to the entire NAM staff for all your support this year. Special thanks go to Matt, for his dedication and hard work as a state director. To my sister queens-a year ago we received our crowns and became royalty of Kentucky. Memories will fade, but friendships last forever. To Megan, Kyle & Logan, you’re the greatest!
I would like to congratulate each state finalist on your achievements thus far and encourage each of you to dream big and work hard to reach your goals. Dreams that you follow will keep coming true.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for your love and support. Your leadership and guidance has helped me become the person I am today. I am a girl with dreams. I am Hensley Rector.

Dear Contestants & Families,
Wow! It is hard to believe that it has been one year since I was crowned your National
American Miss Georgia Princess! I had such a great time at last year’s pageant and
made many new friends. I had the opportunity to travel to other NAM pageants as a
visiting queen and learned to smile and wave very quickly!
Before I knew it, it was time to go to California for Nationals! I met all of my sister
queens and had an amazing time. I toured Hollywood and the Walk of Fame, went
shopping in LA and visited the Santa Monica Pier, but I can’t forget the highlight of the
trip – Disneyland! My family and I had such a great time! I made friends with girls from
all over the country and it was the experience of a lifetime!
Being a NAM queen also gave me the opportunity to serve in my community at many events including Relay for Life, March for Babies, benefit pageants and even a fashion show! This year has been amazing and although I am sad that it is coming to an end, I am excited to crown your new Princess!
I have many people I would like to thank for making this year so special. To my sister queens, thank you for always looking out for me and supporting me as your little sister. To Mr. Matt, the best director a girl could have! To Miss Roxanne and Kaleigh for encouraging me to do my first pageant which helped to prepare me for NAM! To Miss Sharon, for all of the love and support you gave me this year. To Miss Tracy at Girli Girl for always keeping me dressed my best! To my mom and dad for all of your support and the unlimited use of your American Express card. To my big brother, Dylan, for always cheering me on and being my biggest fan.
I want to wish all of you the very best at the pageant so go out there, do your best and remember that while only one girl can be crowned, you have already won by participating and this weekend will be an amazing experience! Finally to the new National American Miss Georgia Princess, enjoy every moment and take lots of pictures. This will be one of the best times of your life.
For the last time, I am your 2009/2010, National American Miss Georgia Princess,
Kelsey Artman

Dear contestants and families,
Congratulations girls, you are now involved in an outstanding pageant system! Just last year I was given the tremendous honor of being crowned your 2009-2010 National American Miss Oregon pre-teen Cover Girl, and what a fun, exciting and truly amazing year it has been! As my state’s pre-teen Cover Girl I was able to do many spectacular things with my title. Such as ride in my hometowns annual Beachcomber Days Parade, go to the Washington state pageant as visiting royalty, volunteered to wrap presents for the South Lincoln County Childrens Christmas Program and volunteered at the 19th annual R.S.V.P. Chocolate Classics. I was very privileged to be able to have such a great time meeting new people and making a difference in my community. It was a great opportunity to be able to represent my state and National American Miss and I thank everyone that has helped me out along the way.
Thank you so much to my sponsors and to those who gave me all the support. Thank you so much to my family, I cannot even begin to explain how much I appreciate what you have done. You have allowed me to make the most of my year and not only that, but have given me the greatest opportunity to follow my dreams and support me in whatever I choose to do. You are truly the best.
Believe me when I tell you pageant weekend will be full of long lasting friends and fun memories. You will learn so much about yourself and learn skills that will help you in life with whatever you choose to do. I want you to always remember, no mater what the outcome, that you should always follow your dreams and keep trying, because you can do anything, no challenge is impossible.
Good luck and best wishes,
-Briahna Wick

Hi Girls!
Get ready for an exciting and fun filled pageant! It seems like only yesterday that my reign began! My year as Miss Oregon Junior Pre Teen has been a blast and an honor. When they called my name as Miss Oregon, I was so shocked and thrilled at the same time.
This year I have traveled throughout the state of Oregon, participated in parades and festivals and volunteered for many different organizations and community groups. One of my favorite activities this year was being invited as a special guest to the Oregon Humane Society “America’s Next Top Dog Model” competition, where I got to sell raffle tickets and talk on the stage. I also enjoyed volunteering for the Oregon Humane Society by making handmade dog biscuits.
Attending nationals in California was awesome! I met some great new friends and got to go to Disneyland!! I spent a day on the Hollywood tour and we went to the Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica beach! At nationals, I competed and placed in the top five in the Actress and Spokes model competitions! I had a blast and will never forget nationals!
My year would not have been so fantastic without my sister queens- you girls rock and don’t forget, we are all the “Juicy Couture Girls”!!! Matt Leverton, thank you for all of your support and kindness- you are the BEST! To the NAM staff- You make everyone feel like a STAR- thank you for putting on such a wonderful program. Oma and Papa- thank you for your unending support and love. Bailey- Thank you for always cheering me on and making me laugh. Mom and Dad- You always believe in me and you are the best parents ever!
As my year comes to an end, I take with me a lifetime of fond memories that I will always treasure! As you compete this weekend, remember that the true mark of a winner is she who works hard, tries her best and celebrates the success of all contestants! Make the most of this weekend and be proud of your accomplishments!
Love,
Madeline Monlux,
2009 National American Miss Oregon Junior Pre Teen

Wow! Thank you National American Miss, this had been an exciting year! Being Miss Oregon Princess Queen 2009/2010 gave me so many great memories and changed my life. Here are just some of my memories: My sister Queens and I served lunch at the Ronald McDonald house. I was a Greeter for the Oregon State Fair on opening day and in the evening I had the honor of giving out blue ribbons at a horse show. I also served food to the homeless in Eugene during an event called “Under the Bridge”. Going to the Nike Campus was a true honor. I even got to meet Mr. Phil Knight the president and co-founder of Nike, and do my personal introduction for him! These are just a handful of wonderful experiences I had while representing National American Miss and my great State of Oregon.
To all of the Girls at this years pageant, I am so looking forward to meeting you all! National American Miss is so fun and exciting and the experience is one that can change your life. Last year I learned a lot through my experience including how to present myself on stage, how to be interviewed, and so many more life skills that have already come in handy even at age 5. I hope all of the best for you, please remember to have fun, and most importantly be your true self because everyone is made to be unique.
Sincerely,
Gabriella Torkornoo

Gabriella Torkornoo, Miss Oregon Princess, served food to the homeless for a project called “Under the Bridge” this past October . It was put on by a local church in her hometown of Eugene, OR. There were close to 200 people that showed up to receive a hot meal, have a haircut, have bikes repaired, and to get clothes that were donated for the event. A local new station covered the story. Gabriella stood in the serving line and handed out big handfulls of chips to everyone who came through. This was a great experience for her, and she looks forward to doing it again next year!

Dear 2009 National American Miss State Finalists:
We are proud to announce that all of the pageant score reports were mailed this week. That’s for all states produced by the Nashville office: Oregon, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The last of the score reports completed on October 5, woo hoo!
The National American Miss score reports are like no other to be found anywhere in pageantry. However, they are a lot like the ones you get at home from the standardized aptitude testing you get at school. That is the format after which our score reports were first patterned when statisticians developed the reports for us twelve years ago.
It’s an individualized comprehensive score report prepared for each and every contestant, compiling and displaying, averages, and quartile breaks (based on the bell curve) for each and every age group. That’s a checked and double checked compilation of thousands of individual scores from the judges. Thankfully, the computer programs do all the work.
Watch for your personalized score report in the mail over the next several days!
Congratulations to all the 2009 State Finalists for a job well done
~Matt

I love to play golf, if I could I would play everyday. My dream retirement would be the old man that sits at the first tee with an Arnold Palmer in hand and tells each group that it’s their turn to go. (That job is called “the starter” for all you non-golfers, and an Arnold Palmer is half lemonade and half ice tea, named for the famous golfer who invented it)
Anyways, this past golf season the #2 golfer in the world, Phil Mickelson, took time off the the tour to care for his wife, Amy, who had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. In this tragedy, Phil saw an opportunity to educate a group normally not exposed to breast cancer awareness, so this leads me to pass this information on to you.
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign held in October. NBCAM started as a week long campaign in 1985 with 2 founding members. Today the American Cancer Society is one of many national public service organizations, professional associations, and government agencies that form the NBCAM Board of Sponsors. During NBCAM, the member organizations of the Board of Sponsors join forces to spread the message that early detection of breast cancer followed by prompt treatment saves lives. (Credit American Cancer Society)
Many National American Miss contestants, queens, cover girls and families have volunteered at events, participated in walks and spoken at events to raise awareness of this important issue. Take the time this month to find out how to get involved, find out how to make a difference, find out how to raise awareness!
~Matt
Here’s a good place to get started: http://www.nbcam.org/ or http://ww5.komen.org/

NAM Miss Oregon and Ronald McDonald House
The Miss Oregon royalty recently met at the North Portland Ronald McDonald House, bringing and making lunch and dessert for the families that are staying there. After lunch, the girls hosted bingo, and then even got a tour of the amazing facility afterwards. The families were very appreciative and enjoyed eating lunch and chatting with the queens. One family in particular, from Alaska, was so thankful and asked us to take a picture of the queens with their family. Their 13 year old son was rushed to Portland all the way from Alaska for open heart surgery. He had the surgery 3 days before we came and was getting to go home that day! They really enjoyed getting to have a great meal and conversation with some amazing girls. Attached is the picture we took of them, along with a couple others from the day. Pictured are Kelli McBee (Teen Queen), Alexandra Perry (Preteen Queen), Madeline Monlux (Jr Preteen Queen), and Gabriella Torkornoo (Princess Queen). The girls had a great time spending time together and making plans for future projects, as well as meeting up at nationals.

Gabrielle recently participated in an Earth Day event. Gabrielle made Solar Ovens out of Pizza boxes and baked smores in them. Her friends were on hand to help hand out samples to the crowd. She then taught her second grade class about solar ovens and their use in other third world countries. It was a fun day and who doesn’t like smores? Gabrielle is having a blast representing National American Miss and her title. Soon, she will also be participating in the walk with Ronald to benefit her favorite charity, the Ronald McDonald house.

On Saturday, April 18, National American Miss royalty from Maryland, Michigan, and Virginia enjoyed an amazing time at Busch Gardens Europe. The girls even enjoyed a full day at the park for FREE. Parkgoers from across the country stopped the girls to ask about the pageant. The girls were quick to answer questions about NAM and direct people to www.namiss.com.
National American Miss Queen Christina Nguyen said it was great to see girls from three different states involved in the day. ”NAM is really sweeping the nation. We ran into Jordan Dawkins (North Carolina Miss 2007) just walking through the park.” The girls enjoyed being with each other and the smiles never left their faces. Organizers from Virginia hope to expand the day to all NAM girls next year!
While at Busch Gardens Europe, the girls managed to meet world-class Irish Step dancers from the famed “Emerald Beat” show as well dance the Chicken Dance with Oktoberfest dancers in the Germany themed side of the park. And let’s not forget the girls were brave enough to tackle the world-famous roller coasters. Younger queens managed to encourage VA Jr. Teen Johanna King to get over her fear of roller coasters. She boarded ”Apollo’s Chariot” in the Italy section and never looked back.
The girls were blessed to have beautiful weather to match the sweet spirit of the day. The girls had such a great time at Busch Gardens they ended up holding an impromptu bar-b-que at VA Jr. Preteen Queen Claire Duval’s home in Williamsburg. Michigan Jr. Preteen Mackenzie Caprara summed it up best, “I never want to leave! You guys are the best friends ever!”
