In the "Zone"...the 2008 Miss Torrid Pageant

"And suddenly I see..."

Months of hard work and planning came together this evening at the Chamber of Commerce. Downtown Fort Wayne was filled with contestants, supporters, and their well-wishers. History was made by the crowning of the first Indiana Miss Torrid.

All of the 17 contestants were all winners just by taking steps on that stage. It was a great privilege to work with Jama Young and her staff from Torrid as well as all of the girls. It was also great to know that so many people came out to help raise funds for Reilly Children’s Hospital.

From “Suddenly I See” to “Ever, Ever After” the night was a whirlwind of Torrid fashion, contestants, and all of the components that make a pageant a unique experience.

After all of the acts were completed and the votes tallied, everyone held their breath for the final announcements.
