What an amazing day Jessica and I had on the set of Deal or No Deal. We were the invited guest of Mrs. United States Photographer Joseph Piers.
We met Joe in the early A.M. and spent the entire day watching filming, meeting the entire cast and crew, yes, even the banker, the models and of course the very funny Howie Mandel!

Joe's generosity and hospitality was overwhelming, and he treated us royally the entire day. If anyone is ever in need of an amazing photographer give Joe a shout out!!!

National American Miss Massachussettes Pageant

What a terrific pageant weekend!!

My husband Don and I were invited to judge a NAM Pageant in the great state of Massachusetts's, we had a ball! This pageant is incredibly well organized and had over 250 girls competing in 4 different divisions. My hats off to the directors Lew and Patti, and to Jerri James for all her hard work as the judges coordinator. This pageant was so incredibly inspiring to me. To see all these young women bring forth their intelligence,talent and enthusiasm, just reinforces faith in our youth. What a wonderful experience this young girls were given, no wonder so many of them return to continually compete. We also had a ball with the other 7 judges!!!

From choreographers to professional staging, this is a first rate pageant. Winners move on to nationals , which is held in Hollywood California and the miss winners compete for a brand new Ford Mustang along with a host of scholarship money.

WOW!
