Her gown is gorgeous. Is it sheer at the top? It's almost like that gown Halle wore to the Oscars.

Hay! That's my Spelman Sister! Yeah for Danica! She's way after my time, though....
ETA: I know that should be Hey, not hay. Hay is for horses as my mother used to say when I used that as a greeting. I won't change it totally since my Spelman Sister abaici quoted me!

Here's a link to the article in today's AJC:
Spelman grad is first black Miss Georgia
By BRENDEN SAGER
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 06/27/04
A Spelman graduate and doctoral candidate at Emory University was named Miss Georgia, becoming the first African-American to wear the crown in the pageant's 60-year history.

Congrats!
FYI: My aunt who joined Alpha Kappa Alpha as a Boulee member while at Spelman was the 1st Runner Up to Miss Georgia. At the time she was a Spelman senior and Mu Pi had not yet been chartered.
She became the standout leader as the pageant went on, but it just so happened the young (white) lady who actually won was asked a fluff question as her final question and my Soror-aunt got a real tough question- clearly the person won who Georgia wanted to win. I think her question even had to do with race relations in GA (this was in the late sixties or early seventies).
Mu Pi was chartered about two years after she graduated. And actually, the NAACP came to Spelman looking for the appropriate woman to integrate the pageant and chose her. She got sociology credit for it at Spelman as she wrote a paper on what it was like integrating Miss Georgia and the experience with the crown that was practically stolen from her.
Clearly, I'm very proud, but I shared all that to say that Mu Pi has a legacy of Sorors in the Miss Georgia pageant. I am just sad to see it took almost 35 years for an African Americam woman to win.
Congrats Soror Danica!

Sorry for barging in!
She was the roommate of one of our students at the Miss Georgia competition and has graciously invited her 3 roommates to be her guests at the Miss America Pageant! They adored her and can't wait to cheer her on.
