"I am thrilled and grateful for every single vote," says Manasse, who founded the lifestyle brand Quenchwear to help all women look and feel fabulous.

"More importantly than my win, I am glad that women all over the country will get to read my "real beauty" story. My own definition of beauty has changed dramatically since my days in the fashion industry, and I hope that my story inspires more women to see beauty the way I now do: Beauty is about seeing, feeling and recognizing goodness. And that's what Quenchwear is all about."
