Introducing Crowning Around By Autumn- the new title sponsor of the MISS AMERICA'S OUTSTANDING TEEN PRINCESS PROGRAM!

Autumn Marisa Lexer is no stranger to the crown. As Miss Pennsylvania 2002, Donald Trump's Miss Lady Luck, and the Co-Executive Director/Executive Producer of the Miss Pennsylvania's Outstanding Teen Pageant, she is more than familiar with competition. Yet, through it all, Autumn always makes sure that she is having fun and enjoying every minute - a philosophy she even applies to her new role as a mom. She says, "My daughter doesn't care if I am wearing an evening gown or sweat pants, either way she is probably going to throw up on me. I just laugh and go with the flow. Being a mom, you learn not to take yourself too seriously."

This is exactly the advice Autumn wants to share with every young aspiring pageant titleholder.

"Working with teen girls has been a dream come true and an inspiration for this line of fun, flirty, and affordable pageant note cards, apparel and accessories," Autumn says. "We want girls to let their hair down, be themselves and even learn to laugh at themselves. They should love what they are doing and shouldn't be afraid to 'clown around' now and then…" Or in this case… "Crown Around."

Through her personal involvement with the Miss America Organization, Autumn earned enough scholarship money to pay for her master's degree from Drexel University. It is her hope to make the academic dreams of other young women come true too. In doing so, Crowning Around by Autumn will donate a portion of all sales to the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Organization.
