Mike Malone DDS & Associates would like to extend a congratulations to our long-time patient Kristen Girault for placing in the top 10 in the Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas!
Dr. Malone has been the official Cosmetic Dentist of the Miss Louisiana USA and Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageants for quite some time. But Kristen is the first Miss Louisiana to place in the Miss USA pageant since 1996 when Ali Laundry won the contest. Congratulations, Kristen!
A Metairie native, Kristen has been competing in beauty pageants for years. She was a first runner-up in the Miss Louisiana Teen USA in 2009 and 2010. In 2012, Kristen placed in the top 10 of Miss Louisiana USA. Finally on October 27, 2012, Kristen was crowned Miss Louisiana 2013 at the annual pageant right here in Lafayette, Louisiana.
After winning the pageant last October, Kristen took time off from school and traveled around the state and country as a representative of Louisiana. Then on June 16th, Kristen was featured in the live telecast of the Miss USA pageant at the Theatre of the Performing Arts in Las Vegas. She made the first cut and earned a spot among the final 15 contestants; after the swimsuit competition round she made another cut to make it to the top 10!
Kristen credits much of her success to her 3 years as a New Orleans Saintsation. Here is a quote from Kristen’s interview with the New Orleans Saintsations:
“Being on the (Saintsations) for three years definitely gave me the biggest workouts of my life, especially on gamedays,” said Girault. “It prepared me physically for that. Making appearances in the city as a Saintsation helped me learn how to best represent my team and city, similar to my role now in representing the state. Going out and traveling the state was a breeze as Miss Louisiana because it became second nature for me due to my time as a Saintsation.”
Now, Kristen is looking forward to returning to LSU in the fall to continue her Nursing degree. We are honored here at Mike Malone DDS & Associates to have contributed to Kristen’s success. Just goes to show how a bright, white smile goes a long way — especially if you’re in the spotlight like Kristen!
