Miss Chicago Marisa Buchheit is crowned Miss Illinois

Aspiring professional opera singer Marisa Buchheit of Chicago was crowned the new Miss Illinois over the weekend.

The 24-year-old Wicker Park resident who won Saturday’s competition will go on to represent the state in the Miss America pageant in September.

Buchheit is the reigning Miss Chicago, a title she also held in 2012.
Buchheit is a trained opera singer whose career ambition is to become a professional opera singer, she said in an interview with the Tribune. Pageants were always a dream of hers, but she didn't start competing until her late teens, she said.

“It's really a process, and you grow a lot,” Buchheit said. “For me, I was naturally very shy and it was really a progression up to this point. I feel like this year, I was truly ready for it and ready to embrace everything.”

Buchheit grew up on the Northwest Side, in Edison Park, and attended Ebinger Elementary, Baubien Elementary and Northside College Preparatory High School. She received her bachelor's degree from Cleveland Institute of Music in Ohio.

Buchheit now works as an art and choir teacher at Josephinum Academy in Wicker Park.

Buchheit sings in seven languages — Italian, German, French, Czech, Chinese, Thai and English — and is an active solo concert artist.

In addition to preparing for the Miss America pageant, Buchheit said she will use her position to make appearances at schools throughout the state and to promote the STEMto STEAM campaign to expand the science, technology, engineering and math framework for education to include arts as well.

“That's something that I'll be trying to spread awareness for,” Buchheit said.
Marisa’s pageant platform: “From STEM to STEAM: Keeping the Arts in Education”. The platform addresses the importance of music and fine arts education. She works with students, teachers, local politicians, and Chicago musical institutions such as The Merit School of Music to preserve the arts as a vital part of our children’s education. Marisa is also the founder of the Dream, Believe, Achieve! program based in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio.

The first runner-up was Amanda Goerlitz;
The second runner-up was Kogan Murphy;
The third runner-up was Kourtney Turner;
The fourth runner-up was Samantha Kammerman.

[News] Miss USA 2014 Nia Sanchez Forgot her Own state's Capital


 Nia Sanchez is Miss USA 2014 - and there's no doubt about it, she is absolutely banging.
But clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed?

The newly crowned beauty queen was quizzed on the capital of the very state she represented in the pageant (Miss Nevada), on a US radio show yesterday, and all she could manage was, "Oh... Um... ahhh... Oh my gosh!"
The host then helped her out and answered his own question with "Carson City," FOX News revealed.she said, "THANK YOU! I was going to say that!"

Oh really now, were you darl?
The botch couldn't come at a worse time for the stunner, who is being investigated after claims she isn't actually a resident of Nevada - reports are flooding in that she faked her Nevada residency in order to compete in the competition, according to TMZ.

The Miss Universe Organisation has hit back at the claims, telling E! Online - "She met her requirements to compete. Nia is a great person and we know she'll be a great title holder."
Sanchez appeared on the morning radio program "The Todd Show" where she was asked by the host to name her state's capital.
To make matters worse, Sanchez tried to save herself but ended up in a more awkward situation when she added, "Thank you I was gonna say that, I was like, that one DJ host on MTV, back in the day, his name, that's how I always remember it."
The 24-year-old Sanchez competed against several other aspiring beauty queens in last week's competition. However, her latest win resulted in endless issues after multiple sources revealed that she was not really from Nevada, US Weekly noted.
However, in an interview with FOX411 last week, Sanchez clarified, "Las Vegas is my home. I have a house there with a friend."
Such claims were contrary to a source's comment who said, "She never actually moved to Nevada, but continued to work at Disney and live in California, setting up some minimum paper trail to appear like she was in Nevada and allow her to compete. Shanna Moakler is the Nevada director, and she personally coached Nia on what she needed to do to qualify in Nevada and skirt around the need to be actually from there."
Meanwhile, Sanchez's cell phone number starts with 951, which means she may very well be from Nevada, according to the Press Enterprise.
Talking about her recent win, the 24-year-old beauty said, "It's been so much fun! This is just like being a princess."
