I made the Top 10 and it was definitely a learning experience for me.
I had never competed in that kind of format before.
The irony is, the girl that won had competed with me at Miss Virginia America and didn't make the Top 10 with me. But Yu-Ping Fan excels at this format was going to be a terrific Miss Virginia World. Congratulations to her! (As an aside, her sister is also an avid competitor and was Washington's Jr. Miss and years later, Mrs. United States in 2005 as Dr. Chiann Fan Gibson.)
It was pretty funny though, while we were waiting for the final results and the emcee was signing, I actually sang with him!
Here I am with my Mom and Dad congratulating me after the pageant.
I had a great time and learned a few lessons - make sure you double check everything in your room - my roommate charged things, didn't pay for them and tried to blame me. Ah the lessons learned...
