Miss Krimson & Kreme Pageant 2012

Last weekend, on February 18 2012, 6:30 p.m., Lambda Mu Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity presented the first annual Miss Krimson and Kream Pageant here at Frostburg State University. Combined with family, friends, and onlookers, the many people came out on that Saturday evening to support the six ladies that participated and competed in the chance to become the first Miss Krimson and Kream at this university. Walking in the Lane Center ARMAH, the anticipation started in the opening number when the ladies performed together to the theme song of the movie “Pink Panther” with it’s red and pink theme and introduced themselves personally. The ladies that participated this year were Shawna Watts, Myoni Jacques, Aisha Thomas, LaQuasia Burns, Kristin Brown, and Jocelyn Spraggins.

The show was very impressing because of the talent and skills that each of these girls withheld. The different categories of this performance were “Lifestyle and Confidence”, “Beachwear”, “Artistic Expressions”, “Evening Gown Presentation & Promenade”, and “Question and Answer”. The categories that gave the audience and the judges the most information about each of the ladies had to be the first category “Lifestyle and Confidence”. This category gave a short biography of the girls, including their classification, major, and their favorite hobbies. Myoni Jacques and LaQuasia Burns are both freshman. Shawna Watts was the only sophomore. Aisha Thomas and Jocelyn Spraggins are both juniors. Kristin Brown was the only senior. After the “Evening Gown Presentation & Promenade” category, the winners were announced. Shawna Watts was the winner of Miss Congeniality and 2^nd runner up. Jocelyn Spraggins was the winner of 1^st runner up. The winner of Miss Krimson and Kream 2012 was Aisha Thomas!

Interviewing one of the contestants, Shawna Watts, after the show was very intriguing. “It was stressful trying to decide what to wear and most things I had to buy brand new”, Shawna, admitted about the perks of being apart of the pageant. “I had to make up a dance for my talent, but the process was fun and a great experience.” The ladies of this pageant did have a wonderful job in picking out outfits for the different categories and being creative with their talents. Shawna also stated that she wasn’t “nervous until the day she was on the stage.” All of the participant’s friends and family that were there to support her made her nervous as well because of the fear of messing up on stage.

The audience gave the girls applause for being able to do what a lot of people cannot do, and that is performing and being as elegant as possible on stage for this occasion. The pageant was very enjoyable to watch and the ladies did a very good job. Everyone was a winner!
