I must admit this is one of the most difficult articles I have ever written. The simple fact that pageants are a subjective competition makes the task of identifying a winning pageant coach a tall order, as their opinions on coaching may not align with what the judges are seeking.
I don’t claim to know everything about this topic, rather I draw on my experience working closely with contestants, coaches, and directors in one of the most competitive pageant environments.

Last summer, I sat down to speak with Miss Alabama USA 2011, Madeline Mitchell before she went on to place 2nd runner up at the Miss USA 2011 pageant. During the interview, Madeline shares her personal experience of the tragic tornado that changed and took the lives of so many in Alabama last April.
Today as Tuscaloosa and the people of Alabama rebuild their communities and start anew, old winning traditions continue — University of Alabama’s National Championship is a prime example — and new ones will begin as the Miss Alabama USA 2012 pageant will crown it’s newest titleholders!
Be sure to catch the Miss Alabama USA 2012 pageant on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at the Montgomery Performing Arts Center in Montgomery, AL. Best of luck to all of the contestants and to the RPM Productions staff!
Kendall Morris in her own words: “I always enjoyed watching the pageant, and I sat in the audience four times just hoping that one day I could be that girl representing the state of Texas on that stage. So it’s very surreal that it’s actually me – it’s actually happening — and I’m going after that crown!”
This Saturday, January 14, 2012, fifty-three young ladies from across the county will compete for the coveted title of Miss America.
One of the contestants, Miss Texas 2011, sat down with me for a quick interview moments before leaving for the Miss America pageant. Kendall Morris, a twenty-year-old broadcast journalism major at Texas Christian University discussed her journey to capture the title of Miss Texas, her father’s impact on her platform, and yes…the last thing that exploded in her microwave
Be sure to watch Kendall and the rest of the Miss America contestants live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on ABC at 9pm EST this Saturday!
