American Queen Nationals - 4th Runner-Up - July 31-August 1, 2008

I was happy to represent Connecticut and place as 4th Runner-Up at the 2008 National American Queen Pageant in Daytona Beach, Florida. Here we are at our beach photo shoot.

Crazy girl Mia (Ms. Massachusetts and winner of Ms. American Queen national title) and I hamming it up in dance rehearsal. We were both featured dancers in the opening number. I ended up getting seriously hurt on opening night because there were no lights on backstage. But I danced anyway because a performer never misses a show! I still have a scar in 2009!

Here are Audrey and I and the autograph session at the mall.

Ms. Teen Rhode Island, Amanda Main and I after the pageant.
Two South Carolina beauties! Janine Davis, Mrs. SC and 2nd Runner-Up and Audrey Lorence, Ms. SC and 4th Runner-Up and Evening Gown Winner.
