Miss Teen United States Final Pageant

Today, Allie spent the day in rehearsal with the contestants preparing for her 1st official appearence as Jr Miss Untited States World. The final pageant was amazing and she was so excited to find out who her sister queen would be. Faith, her Kansas sister queen, did an amazing job and placed in the top 10 and was named Miss Personalilty. Way to go Faith! Allie was so excited when Belle Owen, Miss Kentucky, was named Miss Teen United States World and couldn't wait to spend the next couple of days getting to know her.

Ms. Kansas 2010

Wow! What a year this has already become since winning the title back on May 1st. It was a busy first month with a fashion show to benefit the Dress for Success charity at the Warren Theatre in Old Town. Then another show at Suede Lounge to benefit the Kyrie Foundation in their continued research efforts to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer. I'm so looking forward to Nationals in Vicksburg, MS and continuing to represent Kansas. I know this is going to be a great year and I can't wait to see what more exciting opportunities are coming!

Mrs. Kansas US 2010 at My Father's House

Wow, I was invited to help celebrate the first "anniversary" of the ministry My Father's House in North KC, MO. This is a ministry that provides home furnishings to those in need in the Kansas City area and is a part of my church UM Church of the Resurrection.
We started out with an outdoor carnival-like party until a giant wind storm blew everything over! After moving everything inside the warehouse, the celebration began. I could literally feel the spirit of God working inside My Father's House. I met the director, several volunteers, their ministry partners and several recipients of furnishings from this ministry. I was able to sign autographs for several children and adults! We took pictures, enjoyed a picnic lunch, and enjoyed live music from a local Christian rock band. What a great day!

Day 3

Allie Marx is your new Jr Miss United States World. We are all so thrilled and Allie is honored to represent this title. She is so excited and can't wait for her first apprearence on Friday at the Teen World Pageant. Thanks to everyone who made the last 3 days amazing. We will never forget this experience.

1st Day as Jr Miss United States World

Allie's first day as Jr Miss Untited States World was spent picking out jewelry and receiving her gifts from sponsors. It seemed everytime we turned around she was getting something from one of the sponsors. She was so thankful to everyone. She also went to watch the Teen contestants practice for their final pageant and of course had her hair and make up done by the amazing Marie Lynn and Katie.

2nd Day at Jr Miss World

The second day for the Jr Miss Contestants started out with interviews. After they were finished with interview the girls got ready for the Luau themed lunch. Allie said the lunch was amazing and after lunch the Teen and Jr Miss contestants gave gifts to Cassie & Lauren. The gift was supposed to have something to do you with your state. The girls had a little time to hang out by the pool and relax before they went to rehearsal. All the girls were treated to a nice dinner and then of course back to rehearsal. Teens have their Prelims tomorrow during the Jr Miss's final pageant. Tomorrow will be a busy day!

Day 1 at Jr Miss United States World Pageant in Houston

We arrived in Houston on Sunday June 20th, the day before pageant activities began. Everyone kept telling us how hot it was going to be in Houston, and boy were they right. That didn't stop us however from making our way to the Galleria - The biggest mall we had ever been in - over 400 stores! It was nice to arrive early so we could get settled in and just hang out. On Monday Allie had Registration & Orientation, this was when Allie met all the other girls competing in the Jr Miss division. She also met Gasper Cruz the director of the Teen United States World pageant. All the girls received some fun gifts and also their dresses that they were going to wear for opening number. After Orientation it was off to bed because the Jr Miss girls had interview early in the morning.
