Hi!  And welcome to X's Pageant Update page...

This website is a labour of love by a devoted Aussie fan of Miss USA - probably the most devoted Aussie fan!  I started in 2006 and am proud to say I have now covered over a decade of state & national pageants.  I'm often asked why I follow pageants or what keeps me going - quite simply it is all the beautiful acquaintances & friendships I've made with people all over the world.  Pageant peeps are awesome!  I truly treasure all the amazing people I've had the privilege to meet through pageantry.


The "Crowning glory" for me came in 2012 when, thanks to the generosity of all those aforementioned awesome pageant peeps, I had the opportunity to attend Miss USA 2012 in Las Vegas.  It was my first live Miss USA pageant and I had the opportunity to attend pageant events, meet some of the fans, friends and contestants I've got to know through the internet, chaperone all the Teens for a day - and even meet reigning Miss USA Alyssa Campanella and former Miss USAs Susie Castillo, Shandi Finnessey, Chelsea Cooley & Tara Conner! That trip truly made memories to last a lifetime, and now I'm just wishing I could invent a teleporter so I could go back every year.


Strap yourself in and be prepared for a pageant vortex...
