Getting To Know JESSICA STROHM - Miss New Hampshire USA 2016

If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?  I would escape work for the day. Depending on the weather I would do as many outdoor activities as I could, after my yoga practice of course! I would sky dive, which I have never done before, go for a hike, spend the day on my boat, do some water sports, eat a lobster roll, and end the evening on the beach, watching the sunset with an ice cream cone in hand. What would you like to read as the headline in tomorrow's newspaper?  “ Jessica Strohm, Miss USA. The first ever Miss NH USA to win Miss USA!"   Describe your dream house.  I hope to own two dream homes one day. The first would sit on at least 10 acres of land here in New Hampshire. I love the idea of not having any neighbors close by and the ability to do whatever I want with such a large amount of land. It would be beautifully landscaped with a stable, for my two horses. A large farme

Getting To Know LEAH LAWSON - Miss South Carolina USA 2016

If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?  I would throw a concert featuring all of my favorite artists on the front lawn of the White House! What would you like to read as the headline in tomorrow's newspaper?  “Cure for cancer has finally been found!” Describe your dream house.  I would love to live in a house by the sea on some tropical island, but more importantly my dream home would have a full time cook to make me food whenever I am hungry, which is like every 5 minutes. In a bouquet of flowers, what flower would you be and why? A wildflower. I am a free spirit and I feel that a wildflower matches my personality. Wildflowers also remind me of my childhood and the memories of playing in the fields beside my grandmother’s house.   How would you introduce yourself if you were a guest speaker?  I think that all depends on the event at which I am speaking. I would defini

Getting To Know WHITNEY SHARPE - Miss Massachusetts USA 2016

If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?  I would go to the  Brigham's Ice Cream factory and sample every single flavor made fresh that  day.  It may seem silly, but this is my favorite ice cream brand because I grew up on  it. My favorite memories spent with my Nana were shared over a bowl (or two)  of  Brigham's chocolate chip. When something calls for a celebration in my  family,  we don't reach for the champagne, but for the Brigham's in our freezer.  What would you like to read as the headline in tomorrow's newspaper?  "Boston  Native Wins Miss USA". There are so many causes near and dear to my heart,  that  I could not pick just one for a headline. Although as Miss USA, I would have  a  global influence on improving and raising awareness for these specific  issues.  My voice would be amplified and more powerful than ever before. Advocating  for  classroom inclusion, social media safe

Miss USA Launches Search for 52nd Contestant From Non-Pageant World ‘to Inspire Women to Step Out of Their Comfort Zones’

Forget Miss Congeniality — you could be Miss USA! The Miss Universe Organization announced on Wednesday, April 20, that it’s launching a nationwide search for the 52nd contestant — and they’re looking for someone from the non-pageant world. According to a press release, “#FindingMiss52 will identify one lucky woman to join 51 contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia onstage for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of becoming the next Miss USA. Applications are being accepted now for review by an expert judging panel who will ultimately select the top 10 #FindingMiss52 finalists based on originality/creativity, personality and a web interview. The public will then have a chance to vote on the top 10 and the winner will be sent to compete alongside the other 51 contestants.” To be considered, hopefuls are instructed to post three photos or videos on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #FindingMiss52. “Miss USA is someone who is strong, determined, an

Getting To Know BRIDGET JACOBS - Miss Minnesota USA 2016

If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?  First, I would head to my favorite frozen yogurt shop, Menchie’s. There I would make the biggest cup of Froyo you’ve ever seen. It would be topped with lots of mini M&M’s, cookie dough chunks, and whipped cream. With my yogurt in hand, I’d catch the next plane to Beijing, China. I got to visit China a couple years ago and would do anything to go again. Most of my day would be spent flying there but I would have all my yogurt to keep me busy! Sounds like a good day, right? What would you like to read as the headline in tomorrow's newspaper?  “Flint Water Crisis is Over!” My mom is a Michigan native and her hometown is just outside of Flint. The current water crisis is affecting many families in the area. It is unfortunate the health of many citizens were at the expense of saving some state dollars. Describe your dream house.  I’d love to live in a craftsman

Getting To Know MAALIYAH PAPILLION - Miss Louisiana USA 2016

If there were no rules in your life for one day and you could be outrageous, what would you do?  I would immediately take a flight to Europe, find a home and retire there.  What would you like to read as the headline in tomorrow's newspaper?  "Breaking News: Free Education for Everyone"  Describe your dream house.  I would actually prefer to live in a "tiny home" somewhere in New York City. In a bouquet of flowers, what flower would you be and why? I would be a sunflower because of my upbeat and vibrant personality. (Great choice, Maaliyah! Sunflower is the official flower of Critical Beauty!) How would you introduce yourself if you were a guest speaker?  I would make sure to introduce myself with something who has a great life story who can offer great advice for anyone pursuing their goals.  Who do you want to be the next U.S. President and why?  I prefer to keep my political preferences private, however I do thin
