MISS USA 2012 goes to...

Rhode Island!!

One of my picks actually won -- she is a beauty and was the obvious winner with her intelligence and bubbly personality. What a FABULOUS choice!


What?? Me?? Girl crush...no....

She's stunning.

One of my favorite parts of the evening?  Madly texting Rachel Woolard, Miss Missouri Teen 2005 and LaTasha Lawrie, Miss Kansas Teen 2005 for our pageant commentary.  Love so many of the Teen USA '05 girls, including Brittany Toll and Natascha Bessez-- 3 weeks together and some of us formed lifelong friendships.



MISS USA TONIGHT!


When I can remember to, I like to check out some of the contestants beforehand so I can pick my favorites.

This year I'm loving Texas, Rhode Island and Ohio.

**I hate this gown and the shoes...but she's a beauty and has a rockin' bod!**

**A classic beauty in my opinion.**

**Hey Erin Andrews look-a-like!**

Honestly -- it's always hard to choose because all 51 are the best of the best and completely stunning.  Having participated in Miss Teen USA years ago -- the experience is like nothing I have or will ever experience again.  Three weeks of living in a hotel in an unknown city with 50 new gorgeous lady friends and wearing an itty bitty bikini in front of million + people...it takes some bravery!! I know all these girls have worked their tails off and since the Miss Universe Organization always uses the same music for each of its pageants, the music STILL gives me butterflies!!!

**So young!! Forgive me that they're poor quality...I had to find them off google.  How do y'all like this drag makeup in the bottom headshots?  Classy.**

I'll be watching my REAL favorites, Guiliana Ranci and Andy Cohen hosts the Miss USA Pageant LIVE tonight at 9/8C on NBC!! 

Tune in y'all!

Thank you for your patience as we nip and tuck here and there.
