MEET YOUR NATIONAL AMERICAN MISS STAFF!!!
WITH THE FIRST PAGEANT OF THE SUMMER FASTLY APPROACHING... WISCONSIN is in 5 days....OMG!!!! I thought before each pageant, it would be super FUN to have one of your choreographers/emcees(basically one of the staff members you will get to be with all weekend long) write you all something special so you could get to know her a little better and so that she can give you some great advice to help you be at your best pageant weekend!
So, for the first pageant of the year - WISCONSIN - meet Ashley Spingola:
Hello NAM girls!!
Pageant season is right around the corner and I am SO excited and jazzed to see all of you! I’m Ashley Spingola and I’m a choreographer for NAM. You’ll see me emceeing competitions at your state pageant and helping you at rehearsals, too. I’ve already met some of you at open calls and workshops and I cannot wait to meet more of you!!
I got started with NAM a few years ago when I was crowned the Wisconsin Teen Queen. Being a state titleholder was one of the best experiences of my life! Being visiting royalty and traveling to other state pageants was a blast. I also got the opportunity to become a spokesperson for my favorite charities, which I still volunteer for today. But the best part of all was meeting friends from all across the country. I count down the days till summer when we all see each other again because we’re all like family!
Having been in your high heels many times before, I know that all of you are hard at work practicing your modeling and picking out dresses, but here’s a few pieces of advice to help prepare you for this exciting weekend…
• This will be one of the best weekends of your life! Take lots of pictures, get the emails of all your new bestie’s and don’t forget to have lots of fun!
• Be yourself!
• I know you might get the jitters right before your competitions but remember this is your time to shine!! Remember to talk slow in your interview and enjoy your time onstage.
• My mom has always told me to sparkle and shine onstage….so same to all of you! This fun saying always reminded me to do my best but still have fun and be a little rockstar diva onstage.
• Never give up on your dreams. I can tell you I didn’t win my first pageant or my second one, but at each one I always met new friends and learned something new. But with lots of determination, I’ve accomplished my dreams. While only one girl can walk away with the crown, remember all of the memories you’re making with your family and new friends this weekend as well as how much you’ll grow as a young girl for being a part of NAM. All of you are true winners just for trying and for taking a step out of the ordinary. Always remember that all crowns are made different, yours can be rhinestones or the growth of your heart.
Best of luck to all of you!!!
