Susan Jeske
The first Ms America
|
Susan Jeske representing Colorado was crowned the first MS AMERICA® on December 4, 1997 at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jeske won a valuable package of cash and prizes totaling $75,000. The pageant was based on evening gown, interview and fitness and she impressed the judges and audience when asked by the emcee about a World Record. Susan holds the World Record, published in the Guinness Book Of Records for singing the National Anthem at the most events in a 24 hour period.
During her reign, Susan created the “Students Against Violence" assembly program where she received more than 30 awards and Proclamations for her presentation. Her efforts have been recognized not just in the United States but also worldwide where Susan was Knighted as “Dame Commander” in Scotland by His Royal Highness Prince Michael for her efforts to stop school violence and received the honorary title “Lady” Susan Jeske.
A professional Image and Beauty Consultant, Susan donated “Makeovers By Ms. America ®” to charity events throughout Southern California for live and silent auctions raising thousands of dollars for various non-profit organizations. A professional makeup artist, Susan has been the makeup artist for several magazines and weddings and is in demand as a featured instructor at workshops where she has taught hundreds of women skin care and step-by-step Advance Glamour Makeup application.
