interviewer: was it awkward kissing your ex so much for this movie?
jordan: not really. not in that capacity. it was awkward because we were shooting love scenes in front of fifty people after having every movement painstakingly choreographed and it was shot at the end of an 18-hour work day and everyone just wanted to go home.
jordan: love scenes aren’t sexy. they’re like, a step above root canals on the sexy meter.

tw: jordan’s assault is very briefly mentioned as part of her platform
entering pageants was never something jordan thought she would do, until it became apparent that saving every cent she could to put toward drama school wouldn’t be enough to afford drama school, and she still wanted to avoid going into as much debt as possible. her older sister, sarah riley, had done hair and makeup for a number of pageant queens in the area over the years and joked that jordan should enter the circuit since she has enough resources at her disposal to do it without losing profit. after sleeping on it and talking it over with her abuela, she dove in.
in the two years jordan competed in pageants, she’s won the following titles and awards/prizes:
— franklin county fair queen ( franklin county fair ): $1,000 scholarship
— miss strawberry ( wilmington strawberry festival ): $1,000 scholarship
— miss teen columbus ( miss teen ohio pageant ): $10,000
— miss teen franklin county second runner-up ( miss teen ohio pageant ): $5,000 scholarship
SPONSORSHIPS
if you ask jordan about it, she’ll joke that her hand still hurts from all the letters she wrote asking community business owners and organizations to sponsor her for the miss teen ohio pageant so she could afford materials for a gown, as well as the steep application and pageant fees. she’ll throw in that she considered becoming ambidextrous so she could write out all the thank-you notes she needed to, as well. a huge thank-you goes out to george and martha’s, jim’s body shop, wilmington tire & lube, the community foundation of franklin county, and the historic columbus theatre for making it possible for jordan to compete.
PAGEANT PLATFORM
when jordan initially started prepping for the pageant circuit, her platform was advocating for affordable and accessible food banks to under-funded communities in order to battle hunger and food deserts in the state of ohio. while it’s a good platform to have, it became apparent early on that it was something of a standard among pageant contestants; if it’s not food shortage and malnutrition, it’s clean energy, reducing your carbon footprint, saving trees, adopt don’t shop — a lot of things that blend together in the same avenue of nice, but forgettable.
six months into competing, jordan changes her platform to advocating for victims of sexual violence. she partners with a local organization to raise awareness to the growing problem with sexual violence in the state and the nation, how victims are affected short and long-term, and what resources are needed to help victims heal and move forward. her goal, with her platform, is to help victims get away from their abusers and find the strength to stand on their own through a program that helps set them up with housing and furniture. she does not speak on her own personal journey as a rape victim.
TALENT
while coming up with a platform and speaking on it was bumpy initially, prepping a talent was as easy and natural as breathing for jordan. she always sings; it’s the easiest talent for people to connect to, it’s something everyone understands, and her repertoire is long enough and diverse enough to carry her to top scores within the talent portion. selections she’s done range from celine dion, to adele, to alicia keys; while vocal performance is a key strength of hers, she doesn’t rest on that and still prepares, just as she would for any performance or audition.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
taken from the miss teen columbus pageant
Q: if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be and why?
the one piece of advice I would give myself is, don’t worry about doing everything right. it’s easy to tell yourself that you always have to be the best at everything and you always need to strive for perfection, but it’s okay to slip up and make mistakes. it’s a huge part of growing up, and it’s the only way to learn and grow as a person. just because you’ve messed up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person — that’s what makes you human.
Q: who is your biggest inspiration, and why?
my biggest inspiration has and will always be my abuela, liliana martinez. she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met — she immigrated to the united states when she was only sixteen years old, hardly spoke a word of english, and managed to build a beautiful life for herself and her family. she firmly believes in the value of hard work, family, and always helping others in whatever way you can. my abuela has instilled all those values in me, has taught me to find the joy in everything, and to always follow your passion and put your all into everything that you do. I think everyone would benefit from having an abuela, and I count my lucky stars because I am lucky to have one, and if I end up being even half the woman she is, I’ll have done good.
plotting call! i’ve gotten some new followers over the past couple of weeks and i want to lay down some groundwork for plots and work on building dynamics; if you want to write together and are open to plotting, please like this post! i’ll reach out to you and we can toss around ideas.
also it’s worth mentioning in my main/default verses, jordan feels no guilt whatsoever for killing ethan and elliot in self-defense. she’s glad they’re both dead, elliot especially, because he can’t hurt her anymore. but good god she has survivor’s guilt in spades and it’s suffocating most days for the first few months. having nick helps tremendously but there are very, very bad moments where she falls into bad and borderline self-destructive habits because she feels responsible for six innocent people losing their lives. elliot came to rothfield to kill her ( and nick, but mostly her ) and took six lives in the process because they either had something he needed or got in the way.
