#miss new mexico usa

The pageant is happening right now but since we’ve got a photo of the contestant list for Miss New Mexico USA for basically the first time in forever… well I wanted to write a post regardless :D  You can see the photos here.

Alexis Duprey is going for the “Triple Crown” this year, having held the Miss New Mexico Teen USA 2009 and Miss New Mexico 2013 titles.  Very few have held all three crowns, this is her first shot at Miss New Mexico USA and I wish her all the best!  I published a great interview with her before the pageant season started - click here.

There are two other super-experienced contestants, Brittany Peraltaand Ashley Mora.  Brittany was a runner-up every year from 2010 to 2013 (I’m not sure if she competed last year), and also competed in the Teen pageant in 2005 and 2006.  Ashley was fourth runner-up last year and in 2012, first runner-up to Miss New Mexico Teen USA 2010 and third runner-up in the 2007 Teen pageant.  Last year’s second runner-up Nicole Gomez is also back this year.
