Pageantry Life: A Former Pageant Girl With Dreams

 

Erica’s Journey

 

Many of us know that beauty pageants can be very expensive. From the coaching, entry fees, gowns, swimwear, photos, teeth whitening and beauty enhancement treatments the cost can range in the thousands. I started competing in beauty pageants at the age of 14 when my mom signed me up for a local pageant at the mall in New York and that’s where it all started when I won my very first title and had the chance to compete at nationals. As a former pageant contestant competing in various pageants, my parents didn’t have the economic resources to pay for me to take pageant coaching or modeling classes. From my point of view, a crown and a sash doesn't define who I am and that never hindered my ability and desire to help others. My parents did what they could to raise me and today I’m beyond thankful and blessed for who I am.

For many, I was rich and wealthy just because I competed in beauty pageants little did they know how hard I had to work and sacrifice myself into paying my own expenses and look for sponsorship in order to compete. I never gave up on my dreams because I was focused, determined and persistent and I knew I would succeed no matter what the challenges and obstacles were. Back when I was in college while living in Puerto Rico, I paid for my own modeling classes on a weekly basis with the money I made working through the work and study program in college. I gained a passion for pageantry and continued to compete. I'm a risk taker, even when my goals seem far. I enjoy taking opportunities that can add to my life experiences. Although to me, it was never about winning the crowns or titles. It was about the learning experiences, memories I took with me and accomplishing my dreams.

 

 

Life is not about how many times you fall down.

It's about how many times you get up!

 

 

People who shine from within don’t need a spotlight

ELI

Presents the second annual 2015

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the second annual Miss Miami VIP Pageant directed and hosted by Eli Hernandez. The pageant was held at the Miami Airport Hilton Hotel on Sunday April 26, 2015.

With an amazing and beautiful red carpet full of beauty and glamour with visiting title holders, the Miss Miami V.I.P. reigning title holders, and the judges walking the red carpet. 

The pageant started out the judges presentation panel just to name a few: Cynthia D Acosta, Rosaelvira Cartagena, Jose R Morales (Mr. Universe Cuba), David Porras, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, Ariel Cubas, Sandra Maria Medal, Yessenia Cossio and Erika Csiszer.

The beautiful opening number by the 2014 reigning queens and the beautiful 2015 contestants showed off their gorgeous costumes, swimsuits and evening gowns on stage. The age categories in  the Miss Miami V.I.P. pageant ranges from the ages of 3-23 years old with the following titles: Miss Miami V.I.P. Top Model, Teen Miss Miami V.I.P., Miss Miami V.I.P., Junior Miss Miami V.I.P., Little Miss Miami V.I.P., Tiny Miss Miami V.I.P., and Miss Miami V.I.P. Petite which is a new title that has been added this year to the Miss Miami VIP Pageant.

This has been one of the most organized, honest and extremely fair pageant I've ever attended where every contestant  was treated equally and left winning a title and did not leave empty handed.
