Don’t let the curls and pearls fool you, my passion for sports burns hotter than my curling iron.
Being crowned Miss California Teen in 2010 was a huge accomplishment: a symbol of hard work and perseverance.
With the title came a crown, banner, pride, responsibilities and stereotypes.
Day by day, I learned how to roll with the punches.
Although
there’s just one punch that I cannot roll with … the assumption that I
cannot tell the difference between a football and a baseball.
To be honest, I would rather spend my day at a sports game than the mall, beach or a gosh darn spa.
Most girls look forward to the fall because they get to update their wardrobe for a new school year, but not me.
Why do I look forward to fall?
I can answer that question in just three words: fantasy football draft.
I enjoy sports year round, but football season is my favorite season.
If
one were to read this description of me, they would probably expect me
to show up in what I wore yesterday, tennis shoes, an over-sized Madden
T-shirt and greasy hair.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am about as girly as they get.
I
take way too long to get ready, won’t leave the house until I
accessorize and have a drawer full of makeup that just keeps on growing.
To be completely honest, the sportiest that I look is when I spend two hours to dress the part.
I
may know how to wave like Miss America and strut like Tyra Banks, but I
also scream louder than most guys during a football game.
Sure, I have worn many crowns, but I have also worn just as many sports jerseys.
I want people to know that I am far from your stereotypical pageant girl.
My DVR will forever contain pageants and sports games.
I also want world peace.
One more thing, go Saints
