On the boardwalk in Atlantic City, life can be peaches and cream

Once upon a time, I traveled to Atlantic City for a business trip… to Miss America. Dena Blizzard, a former Miss New Jersey and host of the event, decided to skip the rest of prelims and the final show, crowning me the new Miss America! 

True story: this is the real crown that Miss America 2014 will be wearing on Sunday when she gets crowned. They have a practice crown too, but why wear that when you can wear the real one that sparkles? 

Tune in to ABC on Sunday to see if they have me pinch-hit as the winner, and to see the new commercial that CMN Hospitals is airing (since that’s the real reason why I’m here). You won’t regret it!
