It’s not often we spotlight a beauty contestant from the state of Kentucky, but I felt compelled to shine a little spotlight on one of our own. It turns out Miss Kentucky who is Mallory Ervin is also a blogger online. She did very well in the latest Miss America Pageant and was one of the final 5 contestants on the stage; when the winner was announced from the state of Virginia.

You can read Mallory’s blog online and see that she is very active in her community and for the state of Kentucky. We normally think of Kentucky as the place for the best horses in the world and many tune in each year to watch the Kentucky Derby on TV. It is said the Kentucky Derby is the most exciting 2 minutes in sports. Their beauty contestant from Kentucky gave a lot more than 2 minutes for the state of Kentucky. She must have kept everyone watching the beauty contest on Saturday night as she continued to advance to each new round. It’s a big accomplishment to to make it to the last 10, but Mallory kept going and was in the top 5; before she eventually lost to Miss Virginia.

I was happy to see a blogger make it so far in the Miss America Pageant. I think Mallory should get a blog on her own domain name and keep her blog going. Sometimes the free blogs don’t do as well in the search engines and if more bloggers would have known about her, I’m sure they could have drummed up more support for her online. It may have still not been enough to win the contest on Saturday, but we will never know. This could be a new trend for contestants in the Miss American contest and we may see more bloggers gain support for their causes in contests. It was a great try for Miss Kentucky and I’m sure there are much bigger things in life she can now do with her new found fame. It should be interesting to see what her next move is and how the folks living in Kentucky will benefit from her. Great job Mallory and I hope you take the next steps online for your blog and get a blog hosted on your own domain with your own hosting account.
