Ultimate Pageant Notebook author Cherie Wimberly
The Ultimate Pageant Notebook author Cherie Wimberly gained notoriety as a Star Search spokes-model and appeared on the covers and in the pages of hundreds of editorial publications including Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue and Maxim, and European magazines and catalogs and just about every major store catalog including Macys, Kohls, Sears, JCPenney, Bealls, and Belk.
While continuing to work as a model, she also became a modeling and pageant instructor, showing new models and aspiring pageant titleholders how to achieve their goals in modeling and pageantry. She worked for renowned modeling school Barbizon, where she crafted a 12-week curriculum, combining her writing and instructing abilities. She also served as a theater and commercial acting instructor for children and teens. Her modeling students walked the runways of Milan and Paris. Her acting students appeared in national commercials, movies, TV shows, and on Broadway. Her pageant clients have won or placed as finalists in local, regional, state, and national pageants. Cherie also spent several years as the Beauty judge for Sunburst Pageants at the local, national, and international levels. She has experience in many aspects of pageantry, as a consultant, choreographer, and contestant coordinator in the Miss USA system at the state level, and at the local level she was involved with Miss America pageants as a mock judge, consultant, and judges' liaison.
Cherie wrote her book series entitled The Ultimate Pageant Notebook based upon her experience as a modeling competition and pageant contestant, judge, and titleholder. Following an appearance by the Ultimate Pageant Notebook on a Lifetime Network national television show, and given her writing accolades and website experience, Cherie earned a slot as regional and national columnist for the U.S. based media outlet Examiner.com first as the Los Angeles Modeling Expert, and later as the National Modeling Examiner and National Pageants Examiner, where she shared her insights on modeling, pageants, fashion, television, movies, and celebrities, with a worldwide audience.
