Alexis Blakely Wise, 2012 Miss Kentucky Princess recently participated in the “Adopt a Child, Adopt a Pet charity runway event held at the Lexington Humane Society. The participants appeared in casual wear as well as party wear. The fundraiser benefited Thursday’s Child, a special needs adoption program as well as the Lexington Humane Society. Alexis collected monetary donations for each charity as well as over 90 stuffed animals to go to the children of Thursday’s Child so that in her words: “They can always have a best friend with them no matter where they are”. The participants of the fundraiser along with Alexis are featured in the April issue of TOPS in Lexington Magazine for their efforts. The charity runway show is an annual event that she is already looking forward to participating in again next year.
Leanndra Thompson 2015 Miss Kentucky attended the Lexington Heart Ball. The Lexington Heart Ball was put on by the Lexington Heart Association which is a benefit dinner to help raise money and awareness for heart disease. Today is also International Wear Red Day to show support for women’s heart health; which is why she wore a red dress! Her hair and make up were done by Jacqueline Smither who was the 2013 National American Miss Kentucky Teen and is now a hair and makeup artist for Paul Mitchell. Leanndra met her at her first NAM state pageant and they have been friends ever since. Leanndra loves how NAM has brought her life long friends like Jacqueline!
