APRIL 2014 (30) Photograph: Paige Lee At 25 years young, a lovely local girl and a veteran of three pageants including a finalist in Miss World, Peninsula-based Jessica Martini won the Miss Galaxy Victoria Quest in March and just as this magazine hits the streets, is heading to the Gold Coast for the national finals on April 9-12. Jessica is thrilled so far “I’m super excited to be representing Mornington in the competition. The Victorian girls raised more than $40 000 for the Make-AWish Foundation and Australia Zoo Wild Life Warriors.” “I decided that this will be my final pageant, so I’m giving it my all, and using the experience I got in the other pageants to hopefully help me take out the title.” said Jessica. “With all pageants, there is only one girl who gets crowned. They all represent Australia, on parade, on an international platform so they are similar in a way, but they have different titles.” “The finals include orientation, interviews and a photo shoot - then on Saturday night, the crowning ceremony.” “I’m feeling pretty good, I’ve got a lot of experience behind me now, including a lot of mentoring from Annette Sanfilippo. I do feel that I’ve got a lot of knowledge now, and experience, that I can use. Hopefully it will be enough, I’ve got my fingers crossed.” The winner will fly to the USA in August to represent Australia in the International Pageant. “Over the next four weeks, in Mornington, people might recognise me. I’ll be co-hosting events and fundraising; doing my part in the community.” Jessica is sponsored by Martini Runway and Shells Beauty Salon in Dromana. Australia Galaxy Pageants’ headline sponsor is Ebony and Ivory Hair and Beauty. Details: australiagalaxypageants. com read online www.mpmag.com.au 15 )
