On January 23, 2011 Darling Diva's held their 5th annual pageant. In preparation for my appearance, my big sister helped me put my crown in place. We were both extremly excited to see where my baby niece would place in her FIRST pageant ever! (Taylor Joy Elise Bellagamba at 4 months old!) :-)
With the thought of my neice competing that day, I began to reflect on who introduced me to the wonderful world of pageantry- my sister, Chrissy. She is a former Miss Greater Niagara (MAO), Miss Earth East Coast and Miss Barbados Heritage. She also placed top 5 in Miss Buffalo (MAO) and Miss Western NY (MAO). I truely thank her for opening a new door in my life for me.
The areas of competion for the Darling Diva's Pageant were introduction, beauty wear and outfit of choice. There were also several optional sections such as Mother/Daughter, Themewear and Talent. I enjoyed watching the little queens showcase their modeling ability, confidence, poise, and personality along with how much FUN they were having! :D
My neice won a trophy for best outfit of choice in her age division. Her cute little baby bikini was a hit! :-) lol
She was the only contestant that started to eat her award!! :D
Then she was crowned National Debut Queen 2011 !! :-) My family and I were shocked & VERY HAPPY!
We are proud of you Taylor. We know that this is just the very beginning for you.
Congratulations to ALL of the wonderful Darling Diva's & Dashing Dons! xoxo
