» Contestants Dinner at Mamma Mia’s  

It was a lovely evening this past Friday night as over thirty delegates and their families attended a family and delegate dinner at Mama Mia’s on Young Circle. With the 2008 Miss Florida Teen USA Pageant delegates arriving for the www.PageantDiva.com Seminar the next afternoon it was the perfect time to get the ladies together for fun and friendship and that is what Downtown Hollywood is known for!

 

Italian, sushi and world class garlic rolls were highlighted in an all you can eat buffet that had all the girls returning for seconds. The evening was a great time for the contestants to meet each other as well as the parents to meet their contemporaries. It was a great time….so much fun we have pictures and video!

» ArtsPark Concert Saturday Night

It started out as a great idea. Have our delegates meet at our new ArtsPark in Downtown Hollywood and enjoy a free concert featuring Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame Member ‘The Staples Singers”. We had a group of seats in the middle and the first act Myra Epps was fantastic until…the rains came. The remnants of Tropical Storm Gabrielle made the evening a washout. But we did get some fun pictures before the skies opened up.

» Former Miss Universe is Cat Woman!

JENNIFER Hawkins has knocked back a role in the next Pink Panther movie, but she's still a pretty cool cat. Cementing her reputation as a fashion chameleon, the former Miss Universe is on this month's cover of the style bible Harper's Bazaar.

The magazine's editor, Alison Veness-McGourty, said: "Jennifer may have turned down the role in Pink Panther . . . so we set about transforming her into something of a pussycat." The eight-page fashion spread includes this photograph in which Hawkins wears a custom-made rubber catsuit.

Hawkins also is featured wearing a pink georgette party frock and a leopard-print cossie. The TV host's hectic schedule forced her to turn down the offered lead role in the film. Australia’s Nine and Seven TV networks are currently battling to sign her long-term.
