As I watched the evening gown competition for the Miss USA 2010 competition I couldn’t help but get my feelings out on each of the contestants:
Miss Tennessee: She is an all around perfect contestant and has won me over for my 1st choice!
Miss Maine: She is completely out of her element. I honestly don’t know how she made it into the top 10. She clearly has no confidence.
Miss Alabama: Her pictures are all gorgeous, but her hair has ruined her chances of winning tonight. She needs to keep her hair straight…it’s much more becoming on her!
Miss Michigan: She is trying too hard in this competition. She gets great scores, but poor thing tripped in her evening gown!
Miss Oklahoma: She has a personality that seems “real.” I bet she has a lot of followers. Her dress was just ok in my opinion. Joan and Melissa loved it, but I thought it looked too old for her age. Am I starting to sound like the judges on American Idol? Dress your age!
Miss Missouri: Her dress was just plain AWFUL! There is NO way around it! It was all chiffon, but from top to bottom it was a COMPLETE MESS! I loved the bottom bright yellow and it looked great against her skin color. The top did NOTHING for her and was in discord from the bottom of the dress. Get a stylist!
Miss California: Looks great, but her dress seemed a little too tight. Maybe she had too much to eat at the Miss USA pajama brunch? No, seriously, though, she is still a top contestant.
Miss Virginia: A bun in your hair? Are you 80? It didn’t look elegant, which is what I bet she was going for…it just looked old!
Miss Colorado: She looked very sophisticated and elegant. The pony tail in her hair helped contribute to her sophisticated look.
And now for the top 5……are my opinions in line with the judges????
The other day I ventured to Jump Jive & Wail Salon, in Frisco, TX. I decided it was time for a fun, summery hair style, and having been to the salon once before, I knew they could handle the task of my picky taste. Stephanie was my stylist and she was cute, trendy, sweet, and fun. She asked me what I was looking for in my “new ‘do” and then offered me a drink…not just water or a soft drink, but beer and wine are on the table at this trendy salon! (They sure know how to pamper a girl after a long day of work!) My highlights, lowlights, cut, & style took just short of three hours, although it didn’t seem near that long. I had my fair share of magazines to choose from, great conversation with everyone in the salon, and simply the joy of taking time for myself to relax and pamper.
