I'm back from my weekend in Albany where I had the opportunity to judge Miss New York Teen USA 2011. It was definitely a weird yet interesting experience to be on the other side of things. A bit difficult at times. The last time New York came close to the Miss Teen USA title was back in 2001 when I was first runner up! :)
I tried to choose the girl I felt could not only handle the title but use it to her advantage and represent New York in a way where everyone would take notice and realize she is the epitome of Miss Teen USA. I'm very pleased with the young lady we chose.
As for the Miss, a natural beauty, sweet as pie. Originally from Texas, but we'll forgive her, lol. She rally does love New York and will represent us well at Miss USA this spring.
Being in this environment made me realize how much I not only loved competing, but how much I miss it. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would without hesitation. I would change a few things here and there. But at the end of the day, I can't go back in time and need to be content with the fact I did something not many women can say.
They say a father has a better chance of his son winning the superbowl than having his daughter compete at Miss USA. So, dad, I hope you're proud of me ;)
