Red Heads and Lilac Queens

My cousin Chloe has been named Spokane's Lilac Queen. Chloe is one of the many beautiful Red-heads in my family including my Mother and sister Mary... My mother was a model, was picked up by the Beach boys when they performed in Seattle, and was supposed to be a Seafair princess until they found out her birthday barely met the cutoff. Mary has modeled with JRP, and is often likened to Nicole Kidman. Life is hard being surrounded by gorgeous red-heads, well actually only if they lose their temper :). Here are some highlights from the article:

All 14 candidates gave a two-minute speech Sunday revolving around the theme, “Attitude.” Crittenden posed the question, “What is the music playing in your head?”
She mentioned her father, Dan, who listened to upbeat music while he battled cancer. She also talked about an older couple – the wife was in hospice care and the husband visited.
Every day the two would hold hands and talk about the days they had in front of them that they would share. Then they would sing.
Crittenden then sang the beginning of “Amazing Grace.”
“Their song is a threshold of faith and optimism,” she said.

Congratulations Chloe Crittenden, i'm so proud to be part of the Royal Lilac Family!
