Miss Oakland 2011

Today was my first opportunity to attend a local pageant as Miss Marin County 2011! It was also my 23rd birthday, but I really love the Miss Oakland Committee and would not miss this for the world.

 This was taken when I was on-stage speaking as a visiting titleholder.

 With my two of my wonderful committee members, Michele Moser, my executive director and Vera Hartsock. Thank you Michele for my birthday presents! I can't wait to use my new mug and drink the hot chocolate with marshmallows.

 Miss California 2010 Arianna Afsar was in attendance and sang a beautiful song during the show! Such an amazing and talented representative for our organization and I am so proud she is our Miss California. Watch her on January 15th on ABC when she competes for Miss America. We will be cheering her on at our Miss America Party!

 Sara Dadoo, the new Miss Alameda Cities Outstanding Teen 2011 with my cousin Yvette Hernandez, Miss Solano's Outstanding Teen 2010.

 Congratulations to Nanxi Liu, the new Miss Oakland 2011! She did an amazing job during the show and played a piece that she composed herself on the piano and it was great! Can't wait to get to know you better throughout our year as 2011 titleholders.

 Shelby Sinkler, Miss California's Outstanding Teen 2010 and I. So proud of her and all of her accomplishments and even more proud because she was my former teen when I was Miss Northern California Regional 2009!

At the end of the night before we were heading home. This is me with my cousin Yvette and one of my best friends Danny. Thank you for coming all the way from San Jose to spend my birthday weekend with me!

Great weekend!

Love,

Sarah

Mill Valley, CA - Winter Faire at the Greenwood School

Yesterday, I had the honor of being a "Wandering Angel" for the Greenwood School in Mill Valley for their Annual Winter Faire. When I arrived, they put me in full costume that included a white dress, blonde wig and of course, angel wings! For this event, I participated in their ribbon cutting ceremony and handed out "wishes" (pieces of paper with good fortunes) to children who attended the event. The only catch was that I could not talk as an angel. It was such a neat experience!

 Here I am at the beginning of the event welcoming everyone to the Winter Faire! This was right before I cut the ribbon to let everyone to the festivities inside of the school.

This was in full costume as an Angel and my first time as a blonde! 

At this time I handed out my first "wish" to a beautiful little girl who attended the Winter Faire.

Thanks to Ann for inviting me to participate in this wonderful event at the Greenwood School. I had a wonderful time!

Cheers,

Sarah
