Chelsi McDonald has been in Nola for about eight months now but still considers herself quite the
tourist. The WGNO Sports Broadcaster has been enjoying reporting the news and sports since her college
days at Florida State.
McDonald gets her deep‐rooted competitive edge from her mother who was a cheerleader and
father who played basketball and football. Following in her mother’s footsteps, McDonald was also a
cheerleader throughout college, reason for that fabulous
body! The tall and talented beauty has never had the
opportunity to model for any type of magazine before. Yes,
MOI was the first! The streets of the French Quarter were
filled with people for the Mardi Gras season as McDonald
modeled the designs of Kristine Pichon. McDonald strutted
her unbounding confidence in the newest collection of
K’Pich Designs being showcased in this month’s Nola Fashion
Week. Tourists passing praised McDonald for her gorgeous
looks, but I mean, with that beautiful face and amazing
body, could you blame them?! Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry
popped up during the shoot, snapped a quick photo as he
went back to enjoying the Mardi Gras festivities. Voodoo
Makeup also did their part in making sure McDonald’s face
was beat for the Gods! Surprisingly, not knowing exactly how
to be a model, she effortlessly took flawless photo after photo.
It’s definite McDonald is making her mark in the
broadcasting and the fashion industry.
