I have moments of absolute clarity and excitement and then I fall off the end of the cliff. Ugh. So frustrating.

Can't give any more away. <br /><br />As far as my looks, prettier or not...seriously, guys, these are professional photos taken by a professional photographer for the pageant I'm in next month. They can do amazing things with a camera. My first two photo shoots were awful. I looked like a deer in headlights and I'm not kidding. I had to laugh at how uncomfortable I was. lolS.A.
