MISS INDIANA

You can tell a lot about a girl from her shoes...

Terrin Thomas, Miss Indiana 2013 was "Miss Indiana University" before wining her state title... Hence, the red and white striped shoes complete with white netting and a tiny basketball on the toe :)

In another classic 'shoe moment' - we also LOVED this photo of Terrin during the arrival ceremony in Atlantic City.  Her stick-thin stilettos were sinking into the New Jersey Boardwalk so often, she simply decided to take them off.  As someone who ended up ruining a pair of shoes walking the boardwalk in my teeny-tiny-heels - I give props to Terrin for being smarter than I was. :)  See?  You CAN tell a lot about a girl from her shoes :)

You can also tell a lot about a girl from her reaction when she's crowned...

Terrin's reaction is definitely one of our favorites from the whole year!  That look of "shock and awe" is classic!  You can tell she didn't believe she was a 'shoo-in' for the crown, if you know what I mean.

LOVE IT!

Now, before we move to the Junkie Watch List - We need to take a moment and recognize Indiana for their 34 contestants this year - 34 is the largest group of contestants in Indiana history!!!  Fantastic!!!  In fact, it's their 4th year in a row to have more than 30 contestants!  That's incredible growth for a state that only had 14-15-16 contestants during a few years back in the 90's.  CONGRATS!!!  Great Work Team Indiana!!! :)

And now - who will take Terrin's place???
