Happy new year from beauty queen Brandy!

My first post of the new year brings exciting "news."

Brandy, B.W.'s first cousin, has re-entered the Miss Idealia contest.  (Unlike other beauty pageants, losing contestants can return, probably because the talent pool is so shallow in comparison.)  Last fall, she went back to Lyman L. Bowling Hall in Stone Mountain, GA, and here's what happened...



CONGRATULATIONS!

How did I pull it off?
  • Of course, Amanda Barefoot, herself a real-life beauty queen, supplies the face.
  • The rest of her body, crown, robe, and sash all come from an online photo of past Miss America winners taken in 2009.  I chose the middle of the five models as shown below.
  • The floral pattern and wooden floor come from Greeting Card Factory and I used a screen capture to convert them into JPEGs, which were necessary for use in Photoshop.
