Pageant Day:

I woke up at 4am, put on my high heels and practiced my routines. I practiced for two hours. I logged on to Facebook to make some last minute comments about the pageant. I was still tired so I laid down and went back to sleep. I woke up at 10am and got dressed. I went to the Walk to get some last minute accessories. While I was shopping I drank a Naked protein drink, I had to put something in my stomach. As the time pasted, I started to feel anxious. I returned home, showered and packed. I arrived at Harrah’s at 2:45pm. I went up to the hotel room where some of the other contestants were staying. We all stayed in the room until it was time for stage rehearsal. At stage rehearsal, I could feel myself starting to stress. I had never been to the Pool before. The air was thick with humidity. Stage rehearsal made me pensive, I was so glad it was over. But now it was 5:30pm and my hair and make-up wasn’t done. I was now fully nervous. I rushed back up to the hotel room gathered all of my things and came downstairs to the Loft(an upstairs area in the Pool). I was the first one to have my hair and make-up started by the salon sponsor Art Is…, in that I found a little relief. Then K.Butler joined me and started getting her hair done. It seemed like forever before the other contestants came down. When I was told that we had only half an hour left, my nerves shot through the roof. My stomach was in knots and it felt like I had to vomit. After I got dressed I tried to distract myself with everyone around me but everyone was in the zone. It seemed like I was the only one that was nervous. I freaked out trying to make sure the dj played the right song. The first category was club wear. My hands were numb because I was so nervous. I was 3^rd to come out. I heard my music and that was it. I hit all the marks and executed my routine. The second category was lingerie, it came and went. I was unhappy because the dj cut my song twenty seconds short. The third category was cocktail wear. As we all waited on stage, I was thinking how grateful I was to have participated in such an unique event. Right before they announced the top three, I already had two ladies in mind who I thought would make it: Heather & K.Butler. So first Heather is announced and I thought ‘of course’, next Kristy is announced and I was surprised and thought ‘hmm, ok’ then my name is announced as the third person. I was happy and satisfied. I knew that I had placed and would be getting a prize. So then it was time to announce the very first missinkamerica.com, as I was standing there I was thinking ‘ok let me get ready to step back and let Heather shine’. While I was smiling at Heather, I squeezed Kristy's arm with excitement. Then my name is announced and I am like ‘WHAT!?!’. I wasn’t expecting to hear my name and was shocked. I wasn’t thinking about winning. All I was trying to do was represent the missinkamreica.com pageant in the best way I could. The only word the stayed in my head throughout that day was Showmanship. BUT now that I do have the title, u ain’t seen nothing yet! ~ Priscilla, 2010 MissInkAmerica.com

Today we went the Atlantic City Rescue Mission.  I must say that it was an experience that i will remember. Everyone knows poverty runs ramped in the United States, but once you realize it, then see it first hand it changes your perspective. Though it hit me in the corazon, it wasn't a sad experience at all, actually it was quite fun.  The kitchen staff at A.C.R.M. were hilarious, jokes and shots were taken all day long(of course M.I.A. came out on top).  Though I have to say, between the three of us we had to crack like 400 eggs.  It was though, anything to help the community around me.  I'm happy that M.I.A. had the opportunity to help provide the less fortunate with full bellies and hearts full of hope....I'm Six'5...deuces
