Katie Maskey, co-host, Channel 24 WNWO Trendy Toledo
Katie Maskey, a self-proclaimed "style chameleon," is a woman of multiple fashion identities — and jobs (she’s also director of alumnae relations at Notre Dame Academy and holds the title of Mrs. Ohio Galaxy.) We caught up with Maskey to learn secrets of pageant style and talk fashion pet peeves.
How does pageant life influence your personal style?
It's brought a lot more bling into my life. I have tubs of rhinestones. I can show you my crown. I never leave home without it — you never know if you need to put it on somewhere.
As a co-host of WNWO’s segment, Trendy Toledo, what have you noticed about Toledo style?
The local boutiques are amazing here, places like Ragazza, The Pink Door Boutique, Lady C's, and Sofi Stella boutique in Monroe. I think the con is that there's a misconception that you have to have a lot of money to shop at the local boutiques. They have amazing deals and unique finds. I love supporting local — you get to know the owners and they get to know you.
Anything you wouldn't be caught dead in?
Uggs. I think those are the most atrocious things — they are hideous. Or Crocs.
How do you define glamour?
Being comfortable in your own skin. For me, that skin happens to be quite sparkly.
