Last night was our second night of preliminary competition.  Some girls competed in their swimsuit and evening wear while others competed in their talents.  For my group, we had our on stage question.  We drew a question out of a fish bowl and then have to answer it.  The questions they chose to ask us were...interesting.  They were questions like: If you could have any super power what would it be and why?  and...What is more important--Intelligence or common sense?  Or, What even would you like to attend and why?  I personally would have liked some more in depth questions about current events or current controversial issues....however, I think some of the questions were thought provoking.  Congratulations to Kylie William- Miss Tallahassee for her preliminary awards in Swimsuits, Evening wear, and talent.  And to Miss Orange Blossom, Erin Lancaster for her award in preliminary talent Wednesday night.  Also, Congrats to Miss City Beautiful, Rachel Potter for her preliminary awards in Swimsuit and evening wear last night! This is a great group of beautiful and talented girls and I can’t wait to see what is left to come! Today, we have a brunch at the St. Pete Vinoy Hotel with Miss America 2006-Lauren Nelson.  I met her for the first time night last night--she is really sweet.  Well--Stay tuned!
