Stephanie Gaines - Preliminary Evening Gown Winner
1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
A strong work ethic taught by my Father and Grandfather; a “go-getter” attitude I learned from my Mother; while my Grandmother taught me to put my whole heart and soul into everything I do. Without my family I would not be the woman I am today.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I am your modern day “Elle Mae Clampit”. I have on numerous occasions, jumped out of my car and sprinted across the highway in high heels to rescue stray animals. I carefully load them in my car and take them to safety; I wish they could all live with us.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I love playing football with my husband, our bloodhound named Boudreaux, and our Lab mix named Jethreaux. Our dogs are my personal trainers; they sit right beside me, cheering me on while I do my cardio exercises. I also coach youth cheerleading and maintain a well balance diet.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
My family’s values consist of unconditional love, integrity, respect, and love of our country and the military; values that my Grandparents have instilled in our family through their example.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I “Closerize” my outfits; meaning, I buy shoes and then find outfits to match. The problem is that I have several pairs of shoes in my closet that I have never worn; I can’t find anything to wear with them.
