May Pretape Weekend

May 18, 2006

 

Thursday was one of the most anticipated shoots of the season as it was Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa Mini-Documentary Day of The May Pretape Weekend Center. The 8:00am call for our three titleholders and Miss Florida USA 2006 Cristin Duren as it was time to show off for our host hotel to the viewing audience. The day was perfect and the schedule had a full day awaiting our group.

Up first was Ms. Duren opening the segment in stand-ups showing of the atrium lobby and artwork. After a few more set-ups including several trips up and down the lobby elevators it was time to greet our competing delegates for the afternoon. The Miss Florida USA titleholders in attendance were: Nichole Graham (Heartland USA); Jennifer Olkininsky (Broward USA); and Candice Smith (Emerald Coast USA).

After a very good morning filming session inside the hotel it was time to go both pool and beachside. First up was our very own cabana as Ms. Duren establish the tropical surroundings and later ended the tour on a lounge chair. Then Ms. Graham, Ms. Olkininsky and Ms. Smith visited the zero entry-level pool and then walked in the sand of The Atlantic Ocean. After the mornings video taping session it was off to Splash for Lunch Al Fresco beachside.

The afternoon started in The Govenors Suite as www.JewelryWorld.com Prize Tape brought plenty of “bling” as it was diamonds aplenty in this sequence. The ladies got to show off their jewelry amongst the beautiful views from the 31st floor. After a few more stand-up’s from Ms. Duren it was time to take the 3:00pm shuttle to The Diplomat Spa and Country Club.

The last setups of the day included Massage Session and Facial Treatments for our fearsome foursome. Ms. Duren started the afternoon with a unique “stand-up” during a message. Then it was facials with Ms. Olkininsky and Ms. Graham while Ms. Smith finished with a massage of her own. Then it was on the shuttle and time to call it a day and a job well done.
