(not a cancer topic) A personal favor to ask
Ladies (and gentlemen) - I'm alive and well, My hair is almost long enough now for a pony tail which is a huge milestone for me.
My 19 year old daughter entered an international modeling competition. The top 10 ladies will win the first round and go on to have one selected to be the "Face" for the BCBG designer line of clothes for 2012. I'm asking everyone I can to take a moment to vote (its free) and share with their network of friends. I even asked my AFLAC lady. This board is probably my personal biggest network of support, so I'd like to ask if you will vote and share with your own network. The link is posted on her website, www.briaunamariah.com where it says "click here to vote on the lower right of the home page.
You can vote 2 times - once with FaceBook, and once with Twitter if you have both.
Thank you for any support you can provide. She's pursuing her dreams and I support that wholeheartedly.

Currently she's at the #11 spot. Just a few away from the top 10 with a couple more days of voting open.

Sharon - thank you so much! Spread the word! I couldn't be more proud of all the determination she has.
-
Consider it done! She's quite beautiful.
-
Thank you DocBabs!

When I was going through treatment, she arranged a shoot with a head scarf I had made for her that matched one of mine. She was so supportive and helpful during those tough days.
-
Thank you hillck!!
-
She was in the 10 spot, but bounced down again by just a few votes...Man, it's going to be a tense few days while we try to secure her spot!
-
I just voted! I wish her lots of luck! She is a beautiful girl and it would be nice to hear about someones dream coming true. My fiance is also going to vote and I will spread the word.

Just voted- She is beautiful

Thanks for the support thus far everyone! Currently she's in the 9th spot. We just have to ensure she stays in the top 10 until the 29th when voting will officially end. If you have time, please share - moms, dads, siblings, coworkers...It means so much to both of us.
-
Quick update. There is less than 24 hours left for voting. She's hanging in there in the top 10. We found out today you can vote AGAIN for some reason. So - if you already voted, and can take a few minutes to do it again, we'd appreciate it so much! I'll be sure to post an update at the conclusion so you can see how you were able to help!

Just voted, best of luck to her, lovely photos, so pretty(I have a daughter with auburn hair as well!!)
Blessings

Thank you Maria! Share with a friend if you can! We both appreciate it so much!
-
Only 30 minutes left and we dropped out of the 10 spot. Please take a minute to vote. It allows you to vote again every day which we didn't know before. Thank you.
-
THANK YOU to each of you. She was able to finish in 12th place because of your help! Whether selected as one of the ten semi-finalists or not, she got some great exposure and will continue to pursue her dream!
