Many think we look alike, what do you think?

The new pageant season is underway!

The summer flew by very quickly and a new school year is off to a great start. Much to my dismay, as the new pageant season began in August, I discovered that the Miss America rules for competing had changed and I have officialy "aged out" and will be unable to compete in the MAO system. Although the news was bittersweet, I have had a great time visiting the local pageants since the season began and it has been fun to sit in the audience and watch many of my friends from Miss Georgia last year compete for new titles to go to the 2009 Miss Georgia Pageant in June.

Here are some of the highlights of from Miss Atlanta:
