Twelve delegates competed for the two titles Saturday evening at The R.A. Gray Theater. It was a standing room only crowd as Miss Florida Teen USA 2006 Jennifer Wooten and Elton Gumbel of Tallahassee’s WCTV-6 greeting the crowd in her new college town of Tallahassee.

The special awards qualifiy the winners for their respective state pageants. First was Miss Photogenic and the winners were Sally Wustig (TUSA) & Krystal McKown (USA). Miss Amity had a tie once again with Sally Wustig & Cassidy Johnson share the title in the Teen USA division while Vida Sheffield won in the Miss USA divison.

First was the swimsuit competition as the delegates competed in one-piece suits for the Teen USA division and two-piece suits for the Miss USA division with the suits being of their own choosing. Then everyone’s favorite The Evening Gown Competition was up next. Fashion was on display as the delegates showed their grace and fashion sense to the audience and judges.

Then after a brief intermission former Tallahassee USA Directors The Leading Lady sister team of Sam and Amanda were honored with a video pictorial and presentations from Miss Florida USA 2005 Melissa Witek and Miss Florida USA 2006 Cristin Duren.

The delegates were then brought back on stage individually for a final interview session. Questions were by the contestants themselves and blindly drawn onstage. This was a great chance to see what the judges had seen earlier in their one-on-one interview sessions.

After the competition was over it was time for Miss Tallahassee USA Kimberly Anderson and Miss Tallahassee Teen USA Alyx Reynolds took their last walks of their titles before fans, friends and family.

The Future Is Bright
You Should Put Some Shades

Yes it's cold, but it's often sunny in wintertime and spring is just around the bend. So let's talk sunglasses.
Ladies, the J-Lo sunglasses are out and Chanel is so yesterday. It's time to look elsewhere for inspiration. Give the big frames of Dita's Supadupa a glance. With their tortoise shell frames and hand-tinted lenses (dark green to clear), these frames are more Sophia Loren, then Jenny "from the block."

Men? Be men with the Convict Sunglasses from Anon. While they happen to be slightly pricey at $240, if you're a responsible sort of guy, it's worth the investment. These glasses scream masculinity with their subtle detailing, thick frames and ye! s, they're also only slightly tinted, which saves you from looking like the Terminator.

If you really want to be original, check out the vintage glasses over at Klasik. Both men and women can find styles from the 20s all the way up to the 80s. We especially like the aviator frames for men circa 1982 with thin with gently tinted lenses and that Tom Cruise, Top Gun flavor.

Sunglasses have always been a fashion statement. Make your frames a highlight of your outfit, instead of an afterthought.
