Turtle Day April 30, 2011



Today I volunteered at the 9th Annual Turtle Day program in Ponce Inlet at the Marine Science Center. I was a greeter for the event which was free to the public. Today the center was letting two sea turtles back into the wild, one had been with them for over three years. The program had about 600 hundred people show up during the time I was there, I became very practiced at putting wristbands on visitors. When I took a break from greeting I walked around the center and spent time at the touch tank, they had sting rays in the tank that we could touch. I was able to touch a couple of them and they felt like silky leather it was rather strange. There was one sting ray that liked to splash water in the visitors face which was pretty funny. It was a great experience and I hope to help out next year at the 10th annual one.

There are things you should expect to see/signs one should notice about the girl at hand. And that’s depending on whether or not you have been told she does pageants. First and foremost, she is going to look very well put together. Image is EVERYTHING in the pageant world, from perfect hair and make-up to tailored clothing. This woman has spent a lot of time and effort (not forgetting money) making sure she steals the spotlight in some way or how good and/or bad. Her goal is unknown but what usual happens is she makes men stare and women become jealous or lesbians. You might be blown off your feet the first time you meet her and ca

Miss Daytona Beach May 1, 2011

Today I was asked to be the host of the Miss Daytona Beach USA pageant. It was an amazing experience and a great practice for the state competition. When we asked all of the traveling titleholders to come on stage I put my extemporaneous speaking skills to work and started asking the hard hitting questions, or more just name and title with a little padding here or there. Three girls were crowned tonight but all of them did such an amazing job. I can't wait to attend my next pageant in the future, having been on both sides of the spectrum it is truly a job to be an amazing titleholder! <3 Miss West Volusia USA
