Miss Lake Eola USA &  Miss Lake Eola Teen USA For the first time Miss Florida USA Pageant staked a claim on Orange County as we present the first “neighborhood” title with the Miss Lake Eola USA & Teen USA Pageants. Held at the Crowne Plaza Downtown Orlando before a lively and boisterous audience the afternoon featured six Miss Teen USA and four Miss USA delegates competed for the two tiaras and chance to represent the region at both Miss Florida USA and Miss Florida Teen USA.      Audrey Morris introduces herself to the audience / Miss Bradford interviews  Amanda Cooksey during the onstage competition     The competition started with the delegates introducing themselves in their red (USA) or white (Teen USA) cocktail dresses. They were introduced by the afternoon’s hostesses Miss Orlando USA 2012 Avyaun Niles and Miss West Volusia USA Jisel Parra with assistance from Miss Orlando Teen USA 2012 Rachel Bradford. The opening competition was the onstage interviews as the Teen USA delegates were up first followed next the Miss USA delegates as they answered questions drawn at random after they presented a speech about themselves.   The swimsuit competition was first as the delegates wore one or two-piece suits of there own choosing. Then it was everybody’s favorite the evening gown competition. First the teen delegates and then the miss delegates all had the chance to show off their personal fashion sense.    Lena Fucile (black); Julia Vega (yellow); and Valerie Trinidad (white)  in swimsuits of their own choosing     Chloe Perez (multi-colored); Ms. Nevy (green) and Ms. Cruz (purple) in the Evening Gown Competition       Then all was left was to announce the special prizes and the results for the Miss Lake Eola USA pageant. The special awards were up first as our winners are qualified for state. The delegates voted Miss Amity to be Darling Cruz. While our staff photographers voted the Miss Photogenic award to Louisa Nevy.   Before the results were read a special announcement was made that because of the stellar competition two new titles in the USA division would be awarded.
