As I have my five hour layover here in Charlotte, I thought I would take the opportunity to write up the final results of the Beauties of America pageant. By now, you’ve no doubt seen the beautiful photos that I have posted along with the photos by my friends over at ValleyQueens.com.

We’d like to thank Jennifer Reed, Beauties of America director for her hospitality throughout the pageant. I’d also like to thank the lovely ladies that took time to speak to me for the show--that show is coming soon!--and that coped with having dinner with me at the Hard Rock Café and Planet Hollywood. It was a really fun pageant and from what I’m told there is a few spots open for next year--get in those applications NOW!
