CBS/MY11 COMMERCIAL SHOOT

Our girls all met up in Gainesville this morning (nice and early) to film a promotional spot for
the airing of the upcoming Miss Florida USA Pageant. For all of the local fans, the pageant will
air on Sunday, July 13th at 8:00pm on Channel 11. Here are a few photos from the shoot...
MOCK INTERVIEWS/PAGEANT
& SEND-OFF PARTY!!!
June 28th
This weekend, we put our girls to the test during mock interviews and a mock pageant.
Family and friends, along with our teen titleholders came to cheer on the girls as they
gave us an entire run-through of pageant night.
(I just couldn't resist putting up this photo of Victoria and her ADORABLE neice, Sophie!)
After a few hours of practice, we headed off to celebrate all of the girls' hard work
and achievements at their send-off party. Here are a few photos for you all to enjoy!
IMAGE WORKSHOP WITH LIZ EVERETT
June 16th
Earlier this month, our girls had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with Liz Everett of Crown Consulting, working on image and stage presence. The girls were given some incredibly helpful tips, and we want to thank Liz for volunteering to spend her afternoon working with our titleholders!
