About Me

It is with complete humility and great pride that I announce that on Monday, March 24th, 2008 I was crowned the 18th Miss Continental Plus! I have wanted this since I was 18 years old, and saw my first female impersonation pageant in Columbus, OH. Moving to Chicago in 2003 was the best thing that ever happened to me, my life, and my career. I have been truly blessed to be mentored by Mimi Marks, Monica Munro, Victoria LePaige, Ginger Grant, Chili Pepper, etc. I am thankful to Mr. Jim Flint for creating the most wonderful pageantry system in the world, and allowing me to wear that sickening crown.It truly takes a village to put Mercedes together, and I owe a great deal of thanks to Alberto Arias, my dream choreographer, to my dancers Chris, Feather, Jessica, Jorge, and Mark Duthu (my bubble butt boyfriend!) JD Martin- gown designer extraordinaire, Dragon Lady- jewelry made for a queen!! I absolutely could not have won without the help of the beautiful and talented Kathryn Cole, who I think enjoyed shoving those bobby pins into my head, LOL!Thank you to Ashley, and Brandon Wright and the staff of Hamburger Mary's, my home bar, for helping me along the way. Should I ask for a raise, LOL?!!Much thanks to the people who helped fun my conquest as well!! Tyler Huff- my best friend in the entire world, Noelle Titanic, Brad Hammer, Tom Buck, and Andy Cunningham!!To the formers who have set the bar so high, and welcomed me into the Continental Family with open and loving arms, THANK YOU!!If I've not mentioned your name, I do apologize, there are so many people who have helped on this journey, I love you all, and can't wait to travel and see all of the wonderful people across this country!!

Sabotage

It's funny to me how many people would rather sabotage you than see you succeed!! I don't know why one person would want another person to fail!  It makes no sense to me!
