Good morning, pageant fans! Well, if you are in Las Vegas, it's good morning. If you are in the rest of the world, I apologize for sleeping in.

Last night's preiminary competition was amazing. I heard someone on the elevator say last night that this is the most competitive year they have seen at Miss America in a long time and I would have to agree. Every single contestant stands out and that makes it VERY exciting for the people like us watching because truly, truly anyone could win.

This year, the pageant is also the must fun I have ever seen it. Now, don't get me wrong - I have fun every single year! But the 90th anniversary has made everyone go all out and I feel so grateful to be here! 

I even got to crown myself, as you can see! It's at the Artistry booth and I felt like a real priness. You can pick your own platform, mine is one VERY close to my heart: Feed the Writers. You can pick your platform and wear the Miss Artistry sash and they send the pic to your e-mail. You can post it to your Facebook or just download it. This is just one of the super fun things you can do here this week.
