Appearances!!

Hi everyone!! I have a lot to catch you up on since I last blogged and I have plenty of pictures! Ready?! Okay good cause here it goes....

So, remember how I told you I found my first appearance dress at Glitterati in Salem? Well everyone loved it and I loved wearing it!  I wore it Sunday morning to church where I spoke about how God has guided me through this whole amazing journey (Mama Milordi said the dress sparkled great on stage, along with my sash and crown).  It was amazing to see how proud everyone at church was of me!


Later that evening, I went to Miss New Hampshire USA.  It felt nice to sit and watch the pageant rather than compete for once! Lol.  There was some major competition and the judges did an great job picking two very deserving winners.  So happy for them!! I had a blast sitting with my trainer and sponsor, Katie Boyd, my "big" Sarah Kidd, close friends Sola Okenla and Nicole DiBlasi!  I also got to see a former Miss Massachusetts USA, Lacey Wilson, who is always a pleasure. 


On Thursday, Sarah (Miss MA USA) and I, went to the "Stuff-the-Truck" event for the Home For Little Wanders.  We had such a great time accepting the gifts and meeting everyone! Everyone was so generous and I am sure the kids will be thrilled with all of those amazing gifts!!

Saturday was December 1st and you know what that means!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! Just so everyone knows...I loveeeeee Christmas!  So that being said, you can all imagine how excited I was to be in a Christmas parade in Uxbridge with Sarah.  Fortunately, Sarah shares the same obsession with Christmas as I do, so we had a blast.  It was super cold, but nothing a little hot chocolate couldn't fix!


My favorite part of the parade would have to be hearing the little kids say "OMG! THEY ARE REAL LIFE PRINCESSES" as Sarah and I passed by! So cute!! Oh and there was this little boy....about 9 years old, he said, "What. Are. You. Doing. After. The. Parade?", lol, kids these days!! And one more thing you need to know about me...I AM OBSESSED WITH DOGGIES!! At the parade Sarah and I fell in love with the most beautiful Golden Retriever, AND to top it all off he was in a Santa outfit...can you say PERFECT?


I was also able to get some use out of my favorite custom earrings by April Soderstrom! They were made for my evening gown when I competed but I love them so much, I thought why not wear them with my white coat and add some Christmas sparkle to my outfit!? ;)

I had a blast and I am sooooo excited to make gingerbread houses with the Home for Little Wanders orphans tomorrow! Thanks for reading everyone!! 

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!! Xo

Achieving My Dream

Welcome to my blog everyone!  My name is Madyson Milordi and I am your new Miss Massachusetts Teen USA!! It is so funny to think that after dreaming for years about winning the title, I can actually say that I have it!  This week has been a whirlwind to say the least!  My family and I have been overjoyed since I won my title and the fun has already begun!!

This past Tuesday, I signed my official contract with the Clemente Productions Inc.  After the meeting, my new "pageant family" and I headed over to Creative Sparks Imagery's studio for a photoshoot for my official headshot!  I had so much fun with my new sister queen, Sarah Kidd, my amazing hair stylist, Neil Gannon who made me feel gorgeous with his hair and makeup application skills, my wonderful directors, as well as Jim and Lisa Engelbrecht whose amazing photography captured my excitement for my new title perfectly! 

On Wednesday I had Pep-Rally at school and my school announced that I had gained the title, which was very exciting!  Thursday, I had my first appearance, and there is no where else I would have rather had it other than my hometown's annual Thanksgiving Day Football Game!  After being announced during half time, people of my town congratulated me.  I was overwhelmed by their amazing support.

Friday, the fun continued at Glitterati Prom & Pageant Superstore in Salem, MA.  The staff members were very accommodating AND I found my first appearance dress!! A gorgeous Sherri Hill (pictures to come)!!

I honestly can not thank each and every sponsor, supporter, and family member enough who has helped throughout my journey.  I am BEYOND honored and ecstatic to have been awarded with the title of Miss Massachusetts Teen USA.  I am so excited for the year ahead of me and I will do my very best to make Massachusetts proud!
