This saturday the Miss Ormond Beach pageant was held.  My sister queen, Megan Clementi, and I choreographed the opening number to a Viva Las Vegas theme!  We held Jessica Rafalowski, Miss Florida USA’s, send off party, as well.  We wish Jessica the best as she leaves to compete in the 2008 Miss USA pageant.  Jessica along with Megan and myself  were the hosts for the night and had a blast!  Between a mock questioning with Miss Florida USA herself and a great group of contestants Denesha Jenkins claimed the title of Miss Ormond Beach 2009! 

With our great trainer, Arnold

Team Daytona Beach!

Race week was a busy week in Daytona and I was so glad to be a part of the Partner for Paws Charity Event!  The Humane Society is an organization that I love to work with and this event was no exception.  Proceeds raised from the evening will benefit the Greg Biffle Foundation, Ryan Newman Foundation, and the Halifax Humane Society.  These three organizations support the improvement of animal welfare.  From greeting guests with stuffed animal puppy dogs, to the silent auction, and the race car drivers signing autographs the night was a huge success!

The next day everyone set out for 18 holes of golf at the Beautiful LPGA golf course in Daytona Beach.  Awards were presented at the end along with a huge thanks to all those who made the event so successful! 

Thursday night was the dinner for all those participating in the NASCAR Celebrity Golf Classic tournament hosted by Betty Jane France at the 500 Dream Experience .  There was a great turn out that evening, and they honored their main sponsor, who is Kitson&Partner.  Mayor Glenn Richey was on hand to say a few words and also, present the awards.  It was for a great cause and each year they have raised more money with some of the benefits going to Speediatrics at Halifax Hospital.  Below are a few pictures from the event!

I was up in South Carolina again, and while I was there, we managed to find time for a shoot with Blue Nalu Photography!!  We did some different looks, which came out great, and I love them!

Saturday was the Miss Orlando, Miss City Beautiful, and Miss Winter Park Outstanding Teen and Miss Pageants.  I was honored to be one of the judges for the teen division.  It was an amazing experience that allowed me to see what being on the other side is all about!  We had a tough job that no one would envy because all of the teens exemplified what being an outstanding teen is all about.  My sister queen, the current Miss Volusia County USA, Megan Clementi, passed on her Miss Orlando title and also, gave some great performances throughout the show.  I was so proud of her!  Here are some pictures from the evening-

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  I received an early Christmas present when I found out I had made the cover of the 2008 Spring Edition of Pageantry Magazine!! With former cover models such as Eva Longoria, Riyo Mori, Cristen Duren Miss Florida USA 2006 I am honored to be among such great company .  The issue will be out soon and will contain the Spring Fashion Showcase with all of the latest gowns.  I will also be modeling on the inside with Sommer Isdale Miss Texas Teen USA 2007, Krystal Mulock Miss Deland USA, and Jackie Raulerson top 5 finalist at Miss Florida Teen USA!

Saturday evening I was at the Halifax Yacht Club for their annual Christmas Boat Parade along with my two teen sister queens, Melissa Goldberg, and Leah Bowman .  We welcomed over 300 guests to the dinner and event that evening!  The boats were all decorated and it was an amazing sight as they floated down the water lighting up the harbor.  The yacht club has been around since 1896 and still has so many loyal, sweet members.  It was a pleasure meeting everyone and also helping hand out the awards for the best in show!
