Video From the Interview
Shannon McAnally
Age: 23
Occupation: Marketing Coordinator
Occupation: Marketing Coordinator
Why She's a Semifinalist: Being Miss Dallas USA 2011 isn’t as easy as it looks. Walking in sky-high heels, wearing a swimsuit, and being interviewed in front of thousands is no picnic, but she’s currently training to do it again in September’s Miss Texas pageant. If that isn’t time-consuming enough, she’s also got two part-time gigs as a general contractor and marketing coordinator. She’s happy, though, as long as she’s in Texas, where she was born and raised. Ask her what she likes about the bigger and better state and she’ll tell you “everything.” She’s especially into the live music scene and calls herself a music buff. Rock ‘n’ roll is her top listening choice, and her favorite bands include the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, and Florence + The Machine.
Fun Fact: Shannon’s a total Texas girl, but don’t assume that means she subsists on steak and potatoes. She’s been a vegetarian since she was 3 years old.
