Inauguration of Barak Obama

Well, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Washinton DC. I'm here for the inauguration of the 44th President, Barak Obama. The entire Capital has been abuzz since I got here Friday - so many celebrations going on. It is totally awesome! I left my camera at home, but I did get a disposal one & hopefully will get some great pictures!!!

I would of loved to been at Miss America this weekend with everyone, but this was an opprotunity I couldn't pass up! I'm here not as a title holder, but as a delegate with the French Consulate. I'm one of the many translators over here - so it's a good thing I speak five languages! (and now Iwant to burst out singing the song from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - "I Speak Six Languages")

I wish all the young women vying for Miss America 2009 the best of luck (Go Alaska & California!) as I will be flying home as you are introducing yourselves to all of America.

Miss Fur Rondy Pageant

I'm feeling very honoured to be a part of a committee to revise the Miss Fur Rondy pageant! It hasn't been done in 15 years - last year they brought it back (but choose simply thru interview), but this year will be a full out pageant. Primarily all the people selected to be on the pageant committee are all former title holders. As a volunteer escort last year, it was fulfilling to be a part of the resurection of the title. But to be able to assist in the rebuilding of the pageant is utterly fabulous! We are hoping to have some wonderful contestants from all over Alaska and all walks of life! If anyone is interested, they can get an application at www.furrondy.net
