    All you young ladies look beautiful! Expected because you are all Dominican! Bring your A game come competition night. Good luck to all! There are some things I find unique that make Ruth Augustine (Kings Hill) my favorite (particularly facial appearances, swim wear and evening frock).

    There is no doubt about it Miss Hazel is head and shoulders the No. 1 Beauty in 2011. She has poise, she has the figure, the charm, the talent and that great beautiful smile set in a classic face. It is no contest as far as I am concerned. You go girl and bring home the crown!
