Subject: Thank you! That means a lot to me that you look forward to this every year :) Some people call football; I call pageants lol. You have quite a lovely Miss this year. If there was anyone who I would say could win that was a non-preliminary winner it would be her. Great thoughts on who the eventual winner might be! If they are the same judges as last night I think they stayed away from the "traditional" like MS and went with someone a little more refreshing, as it were. So we will see who fits that bill in less than an hour!

I’m hoping to be able to post more of my thoughts before showtime but am running like crazy to finish several things around here. Your top 3 are the same as mine. I think TX and OH are more likely than FL, though she has performed just as well or better. She is a bit more “old school,” while the other two bring something fresh and modern. I think Texas is the most likely winner, and she would be deserving. Ohio is the winner I prefer. We will see how things shake out. My home state girl is Alabama, and I could easily see her in the 5 too. With a different set of judges, it’s hard to say anything with confidence, but she knows how to turn it on when it counts. I don’t think she’s the winner, though. Thanks again for taking the time to do this every year. So much of the MA pageantry fun has fallen to the wayside over the years, so I’m especially thankful for little indulgences I can count on. ☺️" on 17:01:41 01/05/25 Sun >>Nothing like getting this in a full 2.5 hours before >>the pageant begins!
