Christella’s Closet Crown Luncheon with Chelsea Cooley!

I again had the privilege of traveling to Portland for another pageant event! This time it was to Christella’s Closet, a gown shop extraordinaire. I cannot believe the size of their show room and the absolutely stunning gowns they have on hand available to try on or purchase! I was in pageant heaven. Michelle; the owner, is amazing and invited current title holders to attend a luncheon to celebrate their new show room. She also had Miss USA 2005 Chelsea Cooley there giving coaching sessions and answering tons of questions. It was such an honor to meet her! Chelsea is known for her work with breast cancer, raising thousands of dollars for the cause of prevention and awareness. Hearing her share her story was very inspiring and close to my heart. I got to see some of the title holders that were just crowned from the IJM pageant I had just judged the previous weekend. They were just delightful to see in there new crowns and sashes, making their first appearances. I had a chance to talk with several of the young women and I am just so impressed with their poise and grace. I am very excited to work with Christella’s Closet in the near future. I even purchased a gown for nationals! For more information please visit:http://christellas.com/
