Courtney's interview outfit!Hi Everyone! It's Sunday night and I'm finally settled in my hotel room in LA. I won't be able to see Courtney tonight, as rehearsals are closed, but I'll see her first thing in the morning. The Preliminary dress rehearsal is at 8am!
I have some updates! Courtney said Preview was just what I told her it would be--quick, but important. She said some of the judges kept straight faces and some smiled. She felt really good about how she presented herself, which is all that matters.
Then she had her Preliminary Interview. This went very quickly -- 3 minutes with each panel. Yep, 3 whole minutes (!) and she said the judges were fun and the questions were lighthearted and mostly based off of her bio. She said she had a great time; her interview was very relaxed, fun and she made them laugh a few times! For those of you interested in her Interview outfit....she wore a gorgeous navy blue dress with a great tailored satin bustier top with shoulder straps, and a skirt that hit her just above the knees with a very cool steel blue flower pattern at the bottom half. Paired with navy platform peep-toes, she looked amazing and ready for Regis & Kelly! Those of you attending Prelims will get to see Courtney in this dress, as the contestants are wearing their Interview Outfits for the Opening Number (I think the Tadashis are still being finished)!
**New 3/19--photo above! Some of you may be a little surprised that it's a dress, but the Interview portion of Miss USA and our state pageant truly is a personality interview, so suits are not necessary. Contestants can express their personal style in fashion-forward outfits; something you might see on a celebrity when they appear on a talk show. I am very glad they are encouraged to wear something other than a suit!
Tonight is a long rehearsal in the hotel ballroom, and it was closed, even to state directors :( so I didn't get to give Courtney a hug from all of you. She has been checking this blog daily and reading the posts you are so kind to make. THANK YOU!!!
And don't forget to vote for Courtney for Miss Photogenic at www.nbc.com. Get all your friends, family, acquaintances, you name 'em, to vote for Courtney! This is purely an internet vote, and I personally would love to see our truly beautiful and photogenic girl win this award!
Here are some photos from the Best Buddies event yesterday. Yes, that's Courtney, rippin' up the basketball court!
