The day after my first appearance I went to the Connecticut Pageant! It was such a great time to see the entire Clemente family and my pageant sisters from Vermont, Nydelis Ortiz (Miss Vermont USA) and Shelby Gregoire (Miss Vermont Teen USA). I was also very excited to meet the new Connecticut Titleholders. I did not have the opportunity to meet the 2009 Connecticut Titleholders until this very weekend, Monica Pietrzak (Miss Connecticut USA 2009- not to mention a semi-finalist at Miss USA 2009) and Tiffany Teixeira (Miss Connecticut Teen USA 2009). Both were so sweet, genuine, and beautiful! I was so grateful to have the opportunity to meet them! Congratulations to Ashley Bickford, the new Miss Connecticut USA 2010 and Alyssa Taglia, the new Miss Connecticut Teen USA 2010! I look forward to our year together! Clemente Productions, you put on a wonderful show, as always! Thank you for such a great time!
