Hello, pageant friends!

I am fresh off the plane from Las Vegas and the crowning moment of Caressa Cameron is still playing in my head!

I am busy busy busy putting the finishing touches on the February/March issue of the magazine, which will be chock full of Miss America info, photos, and much, much more.

Before I get back to work, I wanted to give you a few bullet points from my Miss America notes

*Best judges panel ever

*Mario Lopez is still adorable

*Opening number is so catchy I can't stand it

*Dena Blizzard is the best preliminary host ever

*Did I mention that Mario Lopez is still adorable?

*The MAO family is growing bigger and closer every day

More later!!!!
