Miss Minnesota

 
Natalie Davis, Miss Minnesota 2011 is such a gem.  She has that classic blonde ‘Sweedish Beauty’ about her (coming from Minnesooooo-ta, ya know) and can sing like a bird!  Her evening gown at Miss America was one of our favorites of the entire competition… the blue color was perfect on her skin and she looked a million miles long in it!   

In fact, Natalie has tons of Miss America photos here, on her blog... 



Natalie is certainly not the only one, but she's one of the best contestants who have kept a blog and updated it fairly regularly throughout her reign.  We love her latest posts… a whole series entitled, “Miss Minnesota 101” which consist of everything from ‘What to pack for pageant week’ and her 'Favorite Products’!!!  Obviously, such posts aren’t limited to only Minnesota – if you’d like to see them for yourself, just check them out here...

Minnesota History:  3 Miss Americas are from Minnesota... BeBe Shopp in '48, Dorthy Benham in '77 and Gretchen Carlson from Fox News was crowned Miss America 1989, and was the last violinist to take the title.

Best Junkie Research Tool:  The Miss Minnesota website is super clean and easy to navigate... find all the 2012 contestant info here...

Who to Watch:

Samantha Phillipi - 2nd runner up in 10 and 11, prelim swimsuit winner

Siri Freeh - beautiful, 1st runner up and prelim talent winner in '10, did not compete in '11

Rebecca Yeh - violin player (ala Gretchen Carlson), young but smart! 


Prelims for Miss Minnesota 2012 begin Thursday!  Best of Luck Ladies!!!
