On last Saturday and Sunday, I competed in interview, swimsuit, evening gown, and on stage question at the Miss Oregon USA pageant in Bend, Oregon. The competition was tough... and I can't believe it... I won!
As requested, here are photos from the event! I didn't take many myself... so these are collected from my friends.
Interview: + Show Spoiler +After I told him what I was going for, Geoff helped me put this together. 4 people told me I looked like Audrey Hepburn that day. Geoff is an excellent stylist.
Geoff and I after prelims: + Show Spoiler +
Finals night backstage: + Show Spoiler +
Finals: + Show Spoiler +
After crowning: + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs114.snc4/36057_447256582080_630682080_5174255_400760_n.jpg) Geoff crying made me cry... he was a WRECK!
Post-show: + Show Spoiler +New! Miss Oregon USA action figure. Fully poseable, with "POWER OF LOVE" glowing happy heart action! (This one is blurry but I love it and can't bring myself to delete it) My good friend and client Stephenie Steers is Miss Oregon America... we're hoping we can do something to lessen the rivalry between our systems. Headed to contracting to sign my life away: I was so overwhelmed, Geoff had to read a lot of the contract for me: ![[image loading]](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs008.snc4/33747_712880784228_19706356_39849891_7813950_n.jpg)
I've been running around non-stop since being crowned, and have barely had time for much of anything! I've got a fan page up and running on facebook though, and it's linked to my Twitter (username: AnnaProsser) if you want to follow along. As soon as I have a few minutes, I'll later create a thread to keep you all up to date on the fun things I'm doing, from appearances to preparing for the Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas this spring!
EDIT: Fixed links... 3am = fail

Love the pictures, especially you and Geoff after the crowning. 
Also, those eye lashes are ridiculously long. o.o They look like they could pierce something.

congrats and GL AT VEGAS!
|
|

yeah, they really bring out incontrols already lovely eyes.
Just kidding congratulations on winning and good luck with everything, you and inc are a nice couple.
|
Congratulations. Doesn't Geoff fall under some kind of immorality clause?
Edit: and where's the pics of him wearing the crown and sash?:D or is that not allowed?
|
Congrats!!! You'll have the full support of not only TL, but I'm sure various other sources *cough* GosuGamers *cough*.
It looks like Geoff was having just as hard a time crying in that one picture as you Anna.
|
Congratulations and good luck in the upcoming competition!
|
|
Congrats, Geoff is one lucky guy thats for sure
|
I still dont get the point of pagents...
|
I like how he has an amazing girlfriend and he still puts in the time to get hours and hours of Starcraft in.
|
Congratulations. Glad you found the time to post on TL. Awesome photos btw. Inc looks just as happy as you.
|
Congratulations! That blurry photo looks especially good - looks a bit surreal, almost like a dream.
|
Congrats again! Photos look awesome,

There's lots of charity and nice things like that involved with it as well as being pretty i believe.

For some reason I keep thinking of that Miss USA episode from Seinfeld, where Kramer was training Jerry's GF Miss Rhode Island. You gotta have POISE and POSTURE! 
Congrats and good luck in Vegas! Uncontrolable fightingggg
|
congrats. Is your blond friend single? :")

I approve 1million% seeing buff good blokes + fit women is what gave me the confidence(as a similarly good chunky man) to propose & get married to a super fit woman too. Wish my wife cared for gaming like me :p

HAY DIOS MIO PERO QUE LINDA LA MUCHACHAAAAAAA.
Awesome stuff, man, messing with you must be really shitty, having Geoff backing you up. That'd be like "shitbricks for life" for me.
haha Congrats! and please, if you win the whole thing, say "Teamliquid.net rules" .
|
Woot big grats miss Oregon!
|
You look nice, but your trolling teddy bear is cuter.
Never had a thing for beauty pageant or understood why they are so important, but congrats.
|
I was wondering when this was coming around. Such amazingly cute pictures! Best of luck from hereon out!
|

|
Great couple. Hats off to you both. Best of luck in Vegas.
|
I need to find me some uncontrolable too .

2010-11, the age where GFs make threads(with pics) on their BFs gaming forum about winning a beauty contest. I'm so fucking in-love with today and the internet.
Congratulations miss, and good luck in the future

Excellent post sir. Ty for this.

I wish I could give you both a hug because you are awesome. So, what's next? A real life show on MTV maybe?
|
Thank you everyone for the congratulations and love! I love you guys right back. Sorry I'm so long between posts these days... Working a 9-5 job, plus my own business on top of it (www.annaprosser.com), and now trying to manage the media and doing appearances as Miss Oregon USA is leaving me quite few hours to sleep and do anything else, but as someone mentioned... TL is near the top of my list when it comes to priorities in what free time I find.

It's funny, I never really noticed our size difference so much until TL started pointing it out and making me really look at these pics... his thigh is like the size of my torso. <3 Muscle man.

It looks like Geoff was having just as hard a time crying in that one picture as you Anna.
He was... everyone keeps telling me how much of a wreck he was during the competition... bouncing in his seat, head between his knees, crying when I was crowned... My roommate said she had to send him away before the competition because he was impossible to be around. Lol... my competitive little strategist. ...er... big strategist.
EDIT: and... in terms of support, I think there are going to be lots of opportunities for internet/text voting etc... so I'd love the help of anyone who doesn't mind keeping up with my adventures!
Once they announce them, I'll post the dates and location of the competition in Vegas, too, in case anyone wants to come help cheer me on in person. Believe it or not, I've noticed that the size of the cheering section actually seems to have a direct correlation with how well someone places in a pageant.

bear hug!!^^
u are a lovely couple, he really is one lucky dude.
|
Grats to both Incontrol and Uncontrollable! when are you guys going down to Vegas? hot damn you only get experience like these once a thousand lifetimes or something!
btw, what's that ring doing on your ring finger Unc? hmmm....
|
Nice pictures, thanks for sharing it with the community and grats to you both!

Well, some of my thoughts are mentioned in this thread from a while back, but really, what it boils down to is this:
Pageantry itself is not really my thing. I don't care about comparing my body to another girl's body, or being told that I am the most, least, or third most beautiful in a group of women. Luckily, that's only what it's about if you are short-sighted. What I care about is being confident in myself, poised, and proud to present who I am. I care about being given a forum to express my opinions, and the opportunity to be a role model as a titleholder in my community. The connections, friends, and opportunities that I have gained as a result of my involvements in pageants far overshadow the actual competition itself. I know that it's not this way for everyone, but for me, the crown is just a tool that I can use to help not only achieve my personal goals, but to make a real, tangible difference in my community, whether that is my city, my state, my country, or the world. I truly believe that "Of those to whom much is given, much is expected" and I intend to live up to that belief.

It's a purity ring that I have been wearing since 7th grade. 
and yeah... I think I've heard the statistic that it is more likely for my brother to become an NFL football player than for me to win a state title. Who knows how true that is, but I'm wowed by the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No sleep this year! I'm making the most of it!

|
Congrats! That's pretty awesome.
|
Lol you two are too cute. :D
|
Dear God...I do not think I have seen a luckier couple in my life. Seeing you two together brings a tear to my eye.
|
So lucky. Adorable, geeky, smart, funny. What does a guy have to do to get someone like incontrol?
Jokes over. Congrats and well wishes in future pageants.
|
Congrats Uncontrolable! Looks, humor and brains... you and IC suit each other pretty well.
Good luck at the nationals if you go ^^.
|
I actually think shes lucky to have HIM.
The dudes pretty damn funny if youve checked out the State of the Game podcasts. Its genuine sense of humor too, not the fake crap most dudes spurt out.

Someone edited out "Represented Team Liquid all the way" from the wiki page, so of course I had to put it back in. Who do they think they are?

Dear god...

For some strange reason I seem to like the spontanous (pretty sure I spelled that wrong) pictures a lot better then posed ones. The ones of you with InControl are the best ones imo ^^ I guess it's the same odd thing that makes me think girls in shampoo commercials always look better in the before then in the after ^^
|
For a second there, I thought you were trying to be rude or inconsiderate, but then I realized that you were just trying to show us what a big heart Geoff has. You're a sweetie 
![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/mmak5j.jpg) Congratz on your victory! Haters gonna hate - let 'em. Have fun and enjoy each other!
|
|
Alright Geoff. I'll pay you your Gosu Coaching fee for advice on how to land a 10. That's pretty fucking spectacular.
EDIT: hahaha oh and CONGRATULATIONS!
|
Now I know why Geoff is so distracted during coaching sessions. I know I would be, Congrats Anna. Good luck at Miss USA, my family will watch and root for you!
That was joke, but I am sure I would be distracted.
|
Omg InControl is the new Miss Oregon!
|
Congratulations Anna! That pic right after the crowning with you and Geoff is my favorite. He's totally broken up. You guys are both lucky to have each other.
|
You guys look like the perfect couple. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone finds someone who makes them truly happy, a lot of people just settle. You guys are really lucky to have found each other
|
Awr you two are so sweet...
Well done!

Starting a war with the lady who felt it was cool to revert my change under the charge that I was vandalizing the wiki. I have citations! Linked the thread as a citation that you're repping TL
