Victoria - Next Model Massachusetts Jr Pre Teen 2011

Could you tell us a little about yourself?
Hello My name Is Victoria D'Olimpio, I am 8yrs old, and I love Gymnastics & Soccer.

When and what got you started doing pageants?
When I was 5 years old I was very shy and I wanted to do the National American Miss pageant and when I got up on the stage I was not shy anymore. I proved to my parents that I could get up in front of hundreds of people and do a personal introduction. Also I scored really high in Interview also and that really shocked my parents since I don't usually talk to people I don't know.

What is your favorite part of a pageant?
I have to say it is my formal wear. Because I just love to pick out my favorite dress and then wear it up on a stage like a princess.

What do you like most about doing pageants?
Well I think meeting new friends

What pageants have you done so far?
I have done NAM, NE COED, USA Ambassador, Little Miss Perfect, Miss Hampton Beach, and of course Next Model US.

What is your platform? and what have done to promote it?
Having the crown is a powerful tool and will help me raise money & awareness for Melanoma Skin Cancer because when I was 1 year old my mother had it from tanning beds. She has had many operations and thankfully she is ok now.

Do you have a website?
Yes, ever since I was 4 yrs old I had a website - http://www.victoria.dolimpio.us and now I have http://victoria.nextmodel.net

Do you have Any tips for the potential pageant girls?
I have been in the queens court in 5 of my 6 pageants but you have to always give it your all never give up ..:) Victoria xoxo
