For those of you who don't know, I'm currently typing from Miss America in Vegas, Nevada. I am tickled silly to be cheering for our wonderful WA girl!!! Although, I am far to ADD to be in such a crazy city; the lights, the noises, and the crown. It is so cool to be able to watch all our Miss America contestants. As you avid bloggers know, I always watch the Miss America: Reality Check on TLC. Which has been so cool, because now I feel like I know each of these contestants, just from those small little inputs on TLC.com and the show.

But back to the GOOD STUFF!!!
Elyse looks fantastic, and she has by far the greatest introduction of the bunch. "I'm Elyse Umemoto, Miss Washington...How do you like them apples?"

Tuesday night, she competed in onstage question and blew it out of the water.
Last night she did swimsuit and evening gown and looked simply divine.
Oh, but what has your Outstanding Teen been doing in Sin City, since she can't gamble? SHOPPING, of course! I did not know that you could have a mall...in a hotel, oh and did I mention the HUGE theatre? The tradeshow has the "blingiest" stuff, I've ever seen. You guys think my wardrobe is sparkly...oh, you have no idea. Las Vegas is definately extreme. I think it's so great that they have the program here, the city definately has a personality and character of its own.

This morning, I got to do an autograph signing with all of my sisters from ORLANDO!

It's so nice to see some familiar smiling faces. I've had a lot of fun reconnecting with all of my girls. Especially, my MAOTT (Miss America's Outstanding TALL Teens) friends.

I had a lot of fun with my MAOT sisters doing interviews for MTV's new "How's Your News."

My favorite part so far has been getting to meet some of the previous Miss America titleholders. They are some of the sweetest and most gracious people I've ever met.


Maybe next time I write, we'll have a Miss America from Washington!!!
