Swimsuit and Talent! 


Swimsuits: 

*Note, these photos were taken as much as 11 months ago, at each woman's local pageant. All but Devon and Kylie's pictures were captured by Ross Clark.  Click the collage to enlarge it.
This looks like a very competitive group to me, as I have four favorites: Kylie Johnson, Heather Wells, Cayla Hellwarth and Devon Stansbury!

Talent Selections:

1. Heather Waterman - Miss North Central Ohio 
vocal "There You'll Be"

2. Jessica Nelson - Miss Cuyahoga County  

 jazz dance  "Born This Way"

3. Courtney Monk - Miss Northwestern Ohio 

 vocal "Astonishing"

4. Chelsi Howman - Miss North Coast 

 banjo "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"

5. Amber Bussa - Miss Maple City 

 broadway vocal "Roxie"

6. Shannon O'Neill - Miss Crystal Lake 

 vocal "Blue Skies"

7. Alyssa Waldman - Miss Willard 

 opera "Mein Herr Marquis"

8.  Ellen Bryan - Miss Clayand 

 vocal "Circle of Life"


None of these women won a Talent preliminary last year, but Shannon O'Neill did in 2009.  Also look out for Alyssa Waldman's opera and I find Amber Bussa's "Roxie" thoroughly entertaining!
