JonBenét did not wear contact lenses or dentures but her hair was lightened.

She was photographed for her portfoiio in June of 1996.

JonBenét's trophies were in her room and the playroom. Patsy had only one trophy of her own and that was kept in her large walk-in closet/dressing room.

The Ramseys owned a sail boat. Stenciled on the back was its name, "Miss America".

All Star Kids Pageant JonBenet in the All Star Kids Pageant

"It's bigger than it's ever been,'' said LaDonna Griego, who runs All Star Kids, a popular, family oriented pageant system in Colorado. When JonBenet competed in All Star Kids' state pageant in April 1996, there were 12 children entered. This year, there were 50. Advertisements that used to elicit 300 phone calls now bring in twice that many." [RMNews 'Legacy of JonBenet' 12/21/97]

May 1996 JonBenet won 'Little Miss Colorado' title

"I think a lot of people didn't know pageants existed in Colorado,'' Griego said of the days before JonBenet's death." (snip) "Griego's 10-year-old daughter, Breanne, passed her Little Miss Colorado title along to JonBenet in May 1996, and she still happily competes. But JonBenet's death has shaken her."
