The interview requests. The television spots. The occasional commercial. And all those pageant appearances.
When you're crowned Miss Teen USA, looking good and being ahead of the fashion curve are basically job requirements.
Kamie Crawford, a 17-year-old Potomac resident, recently became Maryland's first Miss Teen USA winner. It was her second pageant ever.
Crawford, a recent graduate of Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, talked about her favorite designers and how she maintains her fashion-forwardness and accentuates her award-winning looks.
Question: You have said you want to have your own skin care and cosmetics line one day. What is your favorite cosmetics line right now?
Answer: I use a lot of different ones. Pursuit of the Crown Cosmetics. I love their lip gloss. I also use Mac products. I don't stick to just one.
Q: Who are your favorite designers?
A: Forever 21. Givenchy. Sherri Hill as far as dresses.
Q: What is the fashion accessory you can't live without?
A: Bracelets! I have to have something on my wrists. I have way too much jewelry. If it's cute, I'll buy it.
Q: What is your most embarrassing haircut/style?
A: I [had] just turned 13 and I chopped off half my hair. My hair was to my back. I got it cut just above my chest. I thought it was cute at the time until I got in the car and my mom yelled at me. I still get told by my grandmother that it was a bad idea.
Q: Did you go to prom? What was your prom dress?
A: I actually went to three proms. I wore a Givenchy red cocktail dress; a long platinum gown by BG Haute; and a turquoise dress by Tony Bowls.
Q:What celebrity's fashion sense do you like the most?
A: I love Beyonce. Anything that she does, I'm for it.
