Without a doubt some of the most amazing entertainers I have ever seen.... I ran into a young lady named <b>Miss Gabbie Rae, a local Atlanta Recording Artist at the ripe old age of 10 years old.</b> To hear Gabbie sing tottaly blew me away, she has the voice of an Aretha Franklin in that small frame of hers. I found out latter that Gabbie is no hidden secret, she has been on many national programs including the daytime talk show The Tyra Banks Show, as one of "The Most Talented Kids in the Country" (under the age of 10).<br />

Hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes, nearly 10,000 are confirmed dead, and over 16,000 Japanese people are unaccounted for. During this very difficult time, the people of Japan are in our thoughts and prayers.<br />
<br />
Our charity fundraiser, "Project MF: Japan Rises", is an initiative of a relief effort, with our partner Habitat for Humanity Japan, to raise funds for Japan will be held on Wednesday, April, 2011 at MF Buckhead from 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm. In the short-term, Habitat for Humanity Japan is mobilizing its pool of local volunteers and recruiting others to support the Japanese government's initial clean-up and relief operation, which will start in earnest after the search and rescue operations have finished.<br />
<br />
Longer-term, Habitat for Humanity will continue to provide volunteer support to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas of the country. Habitat for Humanity International will also assist Habitat for Humanity Japan in rebuilding its own capacity to serve families in need of shelter within the Asia-Pacific region and around the world.</div><div class="txtContent" style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 80px; margin-right: 80px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On October the 8th & 9th of 2010 something Magical happened to me...... I discovered my first Southern WOMEN'S SHOW and it's amazing crowd</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<div><br />
</div><div><b>IMANGE</b> walking into a beautiful showroom filled with vivacious sounds and engaging smells with every item you could ever possibly dream of right there before your eyes..... Hundreds of shoes, hand bags, jewelry, scarfs, skin care, hair care.... and over 300 other products all in one place. Name brand products at the lowest prices you have ever seen! <b>YES I know I'm describing every woman's shopping dream. Where did I find this shopping Mecca? </b></div><div><br />
</div><div><b></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I attend the </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Southern WOMEN'S SHOW</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> in Birmingham, Alabama and had the time of my life!</span></div><div><div><br />
</div><div>I was invited by Chris Wilmer, Fashion Editor of V-Magazine, who does stage production for the WOMEN'S SHOWS. Little did I know the amazing people I would meet including The President of the Shows Mr. David Zimmerman, Giuliana Rancic from E-Entertainment News and Jonathan Kayne from Project Runway and TLC. </div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In this blog post I invite you along with me on my journey as I discover the </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">true magic of the Southern WOMEN'S SHOW</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It has changed thousands of women's lives across our country and continues to bring economic growth to some amazing cities across the US. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div>At the Alabama WOMEN'S SHOW I had more fun than I would have ever imaged. The WOMEN'S SHOW'S usually lasts about three to four days, in every city they stop in. In my three days in Alabama I had the opportunity to meet hundreds of local business owners and women from all over the country that traveled in to be apart of this amazing show. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I was amazing by the entire production, each and every person who entered the show room floor in those three days seem to leave with something in a bag and a huge smile on there face. Some people just came with their families to enjoy the shows and window shop; either way everyone left happy. </div><div><br />
</div><div>A few weeks later I received a call from Sarah Horn, one of show's staff. Sarah called and asked If I would like to be one of the faces for the WOMEN'S SHOW the rest of my reign. I have attended three shows now and have two more coming up - Nashville, Tennessee April 15th - 17th and Detroit, Michigan April 29th to the 30th. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b>I'm truly honored to be apart of such an amazing production and hope everyone gets a chance this year to experience the magic I have along with thousands of others! </b></div><div><br />

</div><b>Move Over Kentucky Wildcats, Confident Couture Is In The House! The Final Four is not the only achievement The University of Kentucky can boast about in 2011 ~ They also are the official home of Teen Miss United States, Candice Cruz. </b><div><br />
</div><div>As the reigning Teen Miss United States, Candice created and organized from the ground up, an event that was the first of it's kind on The University of Kentucky Campus. Candice was able to help secure <b>The University of Kentucky as one of five schools chosen in the nation, to received a $5,000 grant</b> from Kappa Delta Sorority. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Five grants where given to help promote self confidence through the "Confident U" campaign. Thousands of women across the US got to participate in the Confident U campaign, and thanks to Candice's hard work, women in Kentucky got to be apart of this special grant. </div><div><br />

</div><div>Candice was quoted as saying to the local Kentucky news station WHAS 11<b> </b><i><b>“Confident U is all about strengthening confidence within every young lady. As the negative connotations within the media continue to progress, we are here at UK trying to counteract the effects of unrealistic body images that are thrown at girls every day".</b></i></div><div><br />
</div><br />

<div> </div><div><div>Candice's creation - her show <b>"Confident Couture" </b>was a benefit fashion show promoting self-confidence and self-esteem in young women. The show was geared toward high school teens preparing for prom. Candice organized this massive fashion show, she was determined to help the <b>Confidence Coalition </b>get their message out to girls in her own home state of Kentucky. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Candice wanted to help make sure every girl who participated in the event got to walk across the stage and feel beautiful in every way possible. Candice was able to pull of a true Haute Couture Fashion Show of CONFIDENCE where young women from all over Lexington and the surrounding areas had the opportunity of a lifetime, to walk in this PROM FASHION SHOW! </div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C4Nr50_jbpY/TZnLLzPlPmI/AAAAAAAAAOM/oWgUDOXow3I/s1600/Pic+5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C4Nr50_jbpY/TZnLLzPlPmI/AAAAAAAAAOM/oWgUDOXow3I/s320/Pic+5.png" width="246" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>With gowns provided by <b>Très Chic Boutique of Lexington </b>along with <b>hair and make-up professionally completed by the boutique’s stylists</b>, the event was one of the most fabulous events I have ever seen! </div><div><br />
</div><div>It was so empowering to see young women of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds come together to not only show confidence in themselves but also support for each other. They where each dressed in an amazing designer gown (from Tres Chic Boutique) with their hair and make-up looking flawless. Many of these young women had never had make-up or hair professional done before NOR had they ever modeled on a runway.</div><div><br />
</div><div>American teens face so many challenges and see negative images of beauty in the media everyday. To see 150+ young girls all gathered at The University of Kentucky to not only embrace confidence in themselves but also each other was more powerful than words can describe!</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />

</div><div><b>Over 150 young women participated in the "Confident Couture" at The University of Kentucky campus. Each and every young woman who took the stage exuded beauty, confidence and looked ready to take on life!</b></div><div><b><br />

The Bluegrass Area Development District is made up of 17 Central Kentucky counties which Bluegrass services. </div><div><br />
</div><div>A representative from the Bluegrass Center joined me on stage to talk about the center, what it does and how many young mothers and families would benefit from "Confident Couture's" donation. <b>Candice along with the Kappa Delta Sorority of Kentucky raised almost 3,000 dollars for the Bluegrass Domestic Violence Center - It was simply amazing!</b></div><div><br />

</div><div><b>I fight everyday to break the stereotype of how people view "pageant queens". It's not about the title, crown or sash for us - It's about the difference we can make in our own communities and in other young women's life. </b></div><div><br />
</div><div><b></b>This event was Candice's dream and along with Kappa Delta Sorority she worked hard to make it happen, not for her own gain, but for the 150+ girls in her community that would benefit. This is just the start of Candice's bright future at The University of Kentucky, but during her reign as Teen Miss United States 2010 she was able to bring an event so special to The University of Kentucky's campus that was one of a kind.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I was already proud of Candice as my sister queen and for her accomplishments thus far, but watching her plan this event and then see it come to life for so many amazing women really made me PROUD. <b>Proud to say that this is what the United States Pageant System and it's title holders are all about....

<br />
My Blog today is dedicated to my dear friend Brigette Barron who lost her battle with Leukemia last Friday, she was and FOREVER will be an amazing spirit! Also, to all of those suffering in Japan and how you can help give back like some of my friends are already doing.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
My friends joke with me sometimes and say that a Blog is for your personal thoughts, more than your charity events. So I decided to have a huge mixture of both today! My Blog is entitled "Wake UP"</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>First, I like to tell you about one of the most courageous women I have ever met Brigette Barron.</b> <div><br />
</div><div>I met Brigette at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, I have often been stated as saying that volunteering at Children’s is like the Pringles chip slogan to me – “One Pop, You Can’t Stop”. After one visit to volunteer with the children and families at CHOA, you will truly be addicted to what the Hospital is doing to make a difference in so many peoples life’s. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Brigette was one of the most beautiful young women I had ever met, she was not doing to well in my visit in January. However, Brigette like most young 17 year old girls loved music, when the song “Eye of the Tiger" came on in the background, from a Rock Band game in the back of the room; I asked her if she wanted to dance. I had planned to hold Brigette’s hands and just dance with her sitting down, but to my surprise she stood up. She began to dance and sing like no other. After the song ended, she wanted to dance more, so when we could not seem to get an Internet connection in the room, she quickly went to her cell phone. Even though it was an older phone with only 20 second ringtones that would play, she went through each and everyone. Brigette and I danced for 30 mins or more when the nurse came to administer her pain meds Brigitte told her “not now, I am having too much fun.” She knew the pain meds would help her pain but would also make her sleepy and she would not be able to dance. Nothing was slowing her down in that moment! <div><br />
<div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-myiUyR_6LtQ/TYJTSVBLVAI/AAAAAAAAAMw/1Ybkpi-3tdA/s1600/Picture+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-myiUyR_6LtQ/TYJTSVBLVAI/AAAAAAAAAMw/1Ybkpi-3tdA/s320/Picture+4.png" width="256" /></a></div><div><br />
<br />
When I left that day Brigette was smiling from ear to ear. She was one of the most amazing women I had ever gotten to volunteer with at CHOA. Her entire family was there her Mother, Sister, Uncle and Cousin. They where all very supportive of her and she keep telling me how much she loved her family and how important, no matter what, family should be first in your life. I left that day not knowing that would be my last visit with Brigette. But the time I spent with Brigette taught me so much and will forever change my life. <b>Brigette caused me to "Wake UP."</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q2yOOlQ3mFc/TYJVgL-kvyI/AAAAAAAAANA/SPDuTUNn5KM/s1600/Picture+8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q2yOOlQ3mFc/TYJVgL-kvyI/AAAAAAAAANA/SPDuTUNn5KM/s200/Picture+8.png" width="200" /></a></div><div><br />
<br />
As Americans we are easily caught up in the everyday superficial materialistic world around us. We some times get caught up trying to make the most money possible, so we can have the best house, drive the best car, live in the best neighbor, etc. </div><div><br />
</div><div>My hope is that we can all learn from Brigette and the many kids of CHOA that lose their battle every day. <b>She truly touched my heart and made me “Wake UP” to the world around me. </b><br />
<br />
So I write this to my friends and network as a call to action <b>…Let's Wake UP!</b> </div><div><br />
</div><div>Sometimes we are so busy adding up our worries that we forget to count our blessings. Never underestimate the power of your own actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. God puts us in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Helen Keller was quoted as saying, “The best and most beautiful things can not be seen or touched - they must be felt with the heart”. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Let’s “Wake UP” and forget about the small stuff everyday and start to embrace the important stuff in life <b>Family, Health and Laughter</b>. Brigette had the family and lots of laughter at CHOA, but she unfortunately could not find the health. <b>I now try hard every morning to be grateful for my Health, My Family, My Laughter and I vow to help “Wake UP” others to do the same thing.</b> When you read this I hope it puts a spin on your day, I hope it takes away the negative in your day and makes you think of all of the positives in your life. We all have so many things to be grateful for that we take for granted every day.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>On the other promised Topic – Japan. </b>I am very impressed what my friend <b>Mark Mckenna, owner of Shape Medical Spa</b> is doing to help raise funds for the people of Japan and I wanted to quickly share his story and encourage others to follow suit.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_kKVyPdIGHw/TYJXcRrP2jI/AAAAAAAAANM/p_fBLcLoaYk/s1600/Picture+10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="128" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_kKVyPdIGHw/TYJXcRrP2jI/AAAAAAAAANM/p_fBLcLoaYk/s400/Picture+10.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">From Today Until Friday March 18th, Mark is donating 25% Of All Online Purchases To The Red Cross For Japan</span></b>. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Only 5 years ago, Mark’s life was changed forever by Hurricane Katrina. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Mark says “This crisis in Japan, a horrendous union of natural and man-made disasters, reminds me all too much of what occurred in New Orleans. I can tell you all from first hand experience that tragic events such as these do not discriminate – rich and poor, old and young, women and men, all races and all PEOPLE can be equally impacted. I can remember receiving aid from the Red Cross here in Atlanta in the aftermath of Katrina. I now feel compelled to return the favor”.<br />
<br />
<b>I applaud Mark for giving back and wanted to share his idea so maybe others could also incorporate their own ways to raise money for the people of Japan. </b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is the link to Marks Website to donate:<br />

What I can do is <b>MAKE A DIFFERENCE,</b> even if it’s only one person at a time. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b>If you like this bog – SHARE IT and tell a friend or someone in your network “Wake UP”</b></div><div><b>Be grateful for what you have, but also be greater than yourself and give back to others! </b><br />

</div>I wish I could perfectly describe in words, just how excited I was to Interview with Host Serene Lee on NTDTV last night. <div><br />
</div><div>The camera's and lights where all set and I had the chance to tell the world my views and passions. Most importantly I got to dispel some of the negative stereo types placed on pageants by our society.<br />
<br />
Serene and I did a 30 min interview about my life and my journey as Miss United States this year. Serene asked me lots of questions about my family, friends and hobbies. It was so much fun to be in such an intimate setting and just talk about my personal life and experiences. I even got to end the segment with some words in Chinese to show my respect for NTDTV's Chinese Viewers.<br />
<br />
The show will be broadcasted all over the world, in places like Austria, Germany, South Korea, Italy, France and South America. NTDTV stands for truth, piece, love and respect; I was honored to be asked to do the television interview with this international station.<br />
<br />
<b>More Information, Photos & Link to the Actual Interview Still To Come. Stay Tuned!!</b><br />

However, a few years ago I learned there was a third National System, a system that was very well know and also competed in Las Vegas on an amazing national stage with contestant from all over the US. I learned this system was called Miss United States and it had an incredible prize package and a chance for young women to promote their platforms all across the US. I visited the state website first and was very impressed –<a href="http://www.missgeorgiaunitedstates.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #0956a8; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">www.missgeorgiaunitedstates.com</a>.</div><h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Motivation for Miss United States</h2><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: After not winning the title of Miss Georgia America or Miss Georgia USA what motivated you to continue competing in pageantry?</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jessica: That’s a really great question! The title of the Miss United States System is what made me compete again. “Dare to Dream, Take the Journey”. I’m sure dozen of young women can relate to my story, after being a runner-up in the other two systems, I tried my best not to get frustrated. Each time I would say… “Hey, you did great, but what can you do better next time”. Just when I was about to thrown in the towel and hang up my pageant career, I came across the Miss United States System. I read in bold writing on their website “Dare to dream, Take the Journey” and it really made me want to not give up and continue to work towards my dreams of walking across a national stage. One of my friends, who had also competed in the Miss America and Miss USA systems, had competed in the Miss United States System and loved it. She explained to me that it was a wonderful mix between the Miss America & Miss USA systems. She told me she felt it was a very fair system to compete in and encouraged me to give the state pageant a shot. I say to all women who are searching for a fun and realistic chance to compete – Miss United States is the system for you!</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: Over the years you have been able to nurture and develop your platform statement.

As my platform statement has developed, I’ve learned to lend my hand to multiple service and non-profit organizations and bring a bigger impact back to my community. I now support Children’s Miracle Network, Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, The Ronald McDonald House, Make a Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots and many others amazing organizations.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The most important thing I’ve learned is now more than ever, our youth are in need of guidance and stronger role models.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span>Shen Yun Performing Arts Show is coming to the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta, Georgia on March 8th through March 10th. People have traveled from other countries to see this amazing show, it's 5000 years of Chinese Culture in the making. The shows core is performing arts - music and dance with a live orchestra that is simply amazing, it's a must see!<br />
<br />
Frank Tian and Jing Chen from Epoch Times asked me to be a representative for the show, as a spokes person for Shen Yung it's an honor to represent such an amazing production.<br />

<br />
“Shen Yun” in Mandarin Chinese actually means - “Shen” means something along the lines of “Divine”. Yun refers to beauty. “Shen Yun” together can be translated as “the beauty of divine being’s dancing”. That is because the 5000 years of ancient Chinese culture is considered to be divinely inspired. <br />
<br />
You should expect a very dynamic show. At the core of a Shen Yun Performing Arts show is music and dance. And classical Chinese dance as well as ethnic and folk dances. And the dance is accompanied by an orchestra that combines classical Western and Chinese instruments in a very unique way. The costumes are beautiful and handmade and very bright and colorful. And backdrops that brings the whole stage to life in a 3 dimensional kind of way. <br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">It was an honor to chosen as one of the judge for the Artist Trifecta's Fashion Uncorked Event this past Saturday Evening in Atlanta, GA. If you where in attendance on Saturday night you probably felt like you had some how walked into a New York Art and Fashion show. The surroundings where artistic and breath taking, a jolt of raw fashion dropped right from the sky in the middle of down town Atlanta. </span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">All of the designers that competed in the design competition where absolutely amazing and cutting edge, however one stood out to the judging panel as well as the crowd that was Angelica Cuervo. Angelica's design's where screaming runway, she combined the color blocking from her day wear into the main pattern for her evening wear. She was inspired by the 70's era, designing a high waist pant that was a vibrant orange and captivated the runway. Clearly Angelica's designs where a crowd favorite. After meeting the designer herself and listing to her talk about her inspiration for the creations, as judges we found our clear winner. Angelica earned her grand prize, a trip to NYC to study under a famous designer hands down. What Artist Trifecta did for these inspiring designers here in Atlanta and the charitable organization Easter Seals was nothing short of amazing, I was honored to be a part of such a special event.</span><br />
