Yasin Yasin, aka Homecoming King, is your 2014 Mr. Bellaire.
The PTO’s third annual fundraiser for the senior class’s substance-free After-Prom took place on Oct. 30. The show included 26 senior girls as escorts for 26 senior boys competing for the desirable title of Mr. Bellaire 2013. Five emcees narrated the two-hour show, which consisted of a costume segment, a beach-wear segment, talent and formal-wear segment. Each contestant had his own signature move with his escort during each segment. Talents ranged from a boy band mash up, a puppet show, a country serenade and much more.
Throughout the week leading up to the show, students were able to vote for their favorite contestant with the “Best Eyes,” “Best Pockets” and “Best Smile.” These winners were announced in the crowning ceremony at the end of the show along with a prize for most tickets sold, most photogenic, Mr. Congeniality and Ms. Congeniality. The winners received prizes such as teeth whitening and a dinner and movie date for two. The winner for “Best Eyes” and most photogenic was Giulio Bargellini. The winner for “Best Smile” was Abe Wang. The winner for “Best Pockets” was James Gotthelf. The winner for most tickets sold was Lars Van Vuuren. The winner for Mr. Congeniality was Brian Cohen and Ms. Congeniality was Amanda Taylor.
The top contestants for the ultimate prize of Mr. Bellaire 2014, in order of runner up place, were Giulio Bargellini, Tavish Bakos, Robbie Rexford, and Cole McMahon. At the end of the night, Yasin Yasin took home the gold after sporting a Kanye West character costume, performing a tribute to Disney Channel’s “High School Musical” and sharing his love for Michael Jordan.
