Big practice day.

We ran the routine a bunch of times this morning, finishing up the singing and dancing. All 51 of us will be performing the opening number for finals night - get ready, family!

We also got our swimsuits today - all the ladies will be in a red one piece Carol Wior. It's got a ruffled bustline, with a criss-crossed back. To go with the swimsuits we got red sarongs (the word has not come down yet if they are staying on on stage for preliminaries, or coming off) and big red sunhats (which we are not wearing on stage). We're going to be doing a swim photo shoot in the morning (6:15 AM!!), so tomorrow will be a long day.

After lunch we blocked swimsuit modeling and did a good enough job to get out a half hour early! Now getting ready for dinner with the president of Loews Ventana Canyon, where we will present him with gifts from our state. It's a formal night, so the ladies will all be dressed to the nines! Hopefully my hair will hold up in this monsoon!
