June Pretape Weekend
June
2, 2006
Friday was greeted by an absolutely beautiful South Florida afternoon as twenty delegates awaited an afternoon of self-introductions along with swimsuit and fashion modeling. The destination was a return to The Diplomat Country Club and Spa after a viewing session at The Hollywood Production Center. Our chariot for the day was the Holly Trolley as we all rode together to location. Miss Florida USA 2006 Cristin Duren as always was the star and Choreographer Vickie Davis had the delegates looking great in their opening wear of jeans along with either lime green or tangerine orange.

The first setup of the day was in and amongst the corral and waterfalls. With it being a hot summer day no one complained when it was time to get creative and put the ladies in the water! After several group and individual swimsuit modeling shots it was time for the self introductions. We split the group into half of the openings at the Spa and Country Club and the other on the Broadwalk on Hollywood Beach.

Then it was time to model the Fur Council of America prize as it was off to the golf course to catch some of the beautiful end of day sun. Spectacularly beautiful shots came out of the combination of our beautiful delegates; spectacular waterfalls and lush tropical foliage. But unfortunately time ran out on the “golden hour: and their was on sunset! So it was time to say goodnight as for the first time in ages we didn’t complete our schedule!
