» Miss USA through Cristin’s
Camera
Today is a very special
Faces & Places as we unveil this unique thumbnail display of our national
championship of pageantry through the lenses of our very own Miss Florida
USA’s camera. Our Sunshine State’s representative, Cristin Duren, all made
us very proud as she reached the elite top 5 finalists and had a great time
while achieving such a great placing. Enjoy the pictures as you get a unique
view of Miss USA!

» In The Audience: Miss Ormond Beach USA 2007!
As the aftermath of Miss USA was concluding we kept the Road to Hollywood open for the first ever Miss Ormond Beach USA and Miss Ormond Beach Teen USA Pageants took center stage at The Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center. Director Kim Decker Antos and her hard working and dedicated volunteers of A2 Productions did a great job this past Sunday night! As always her team of pageant titleholders were in full effect and the results were a great evening of pageantry. Here are some pictures of our visiting family and friends, enjoy!

Kudos to Miss Orlando USA 2007 Jessika McLaughlin who was on the
"Red Carpet" for a grand opening with The Regal Entertainment group.
The invitation only guests being able to re-in act the golden globes by having
their photo taken with an Oscar, the President of Regal took part in helping
out some local charities. Along with Kyle Davies (starting pitcher for the
Atlanta Braves) my part as Miss Orlando USA was to present over $50,000
in "big checks" to the representatives from various organizations.
Doing great things for other Jessika!
