Lashes and Sashes Pageant Podcast
If you believe beauty pageants are antifeminist, superficial, or outdated - we hope to prove you wrong! Elizabeth Tran explores pageants as a launchpad to anything you set your mind to, and opportunities beyond any limiting beliefs. Her 21+ years of pageants changed her life, from speaking on the TEDx stage to dumpster diving on TLC. Thank you Simone of @smariano_art for creating this cover!

The most common question I'm asked by fellow pageant contestants and ladies is how I started modeling. Pageants were the platform that lead to my modeling career.

In this episode, I break down my personal journey into modeling from walking like a "penguin" to now ...
