It’s almost time for the 2011 Miss America Pagaent. Who do you think will win? A blonde, brunette, or someone bald? That’s right! On Saturday, a bald beauty may be crowned Miss America. Kayla Martell, 22, is Miss Delaware 2010 and a role model for females everywhere. Martell suffers from an autoimmune disease called alopecia areata. The disease causes hair loss from the scalp and/or other parts of the body. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, alopecia affects two percent of the population. The beauty queen isn’t letting her hair or lack thereof, stop her from following her dreams. Kayla told msnbc.com, “I try not to think about the difference. I strive to be confident and work with what I’ve got.” This week Kayla has been busy with the pageant preliminaries. All done with her interview, evening gown competition, fitness competition, and dance to Michael Jackson’s ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’, Kayla is ready for her shot at Miss America. So, has Kayla Martell changed your image of what a beauty contestant should look like?
