Crown Plaza Hotel and Hospice

Sheila and I met at the Crown Plaza Hotel our host hotel for the pageant to take some photo's and introduce me to some of the hotel's wonderful Staff. Everyone I met was so nice and they made me laugh as no one wanted to have their picture taken with me because they said Sheila had made me look too good. Monica Rapini, Meetings Manager & Stephanie from the sales staff both took the plunge and posed for a picture with me. I think they both look amazing!

We were also trying to see if we could get some nice head shots and a photo for the website with out all the fancy photography equipment. Sheila started out doing my make up very soft and light. Sheila is an award winning make up artist and amazes me with her talent every time I have the privilege of working with her.
The lighting on this day however was not on our side. The beautiful make up Sheila spent an hour on did not translate well in the photo's and my very pink lips ended up looking quite red. I love this photo with the nutcracker as I think we look like brother and sister since our make up is almost the same. LOL

After we were done at the crown plaza we traveled to Niagara Hospice to deliver the check for over $500 that was raised through the "Gift of Love" baskets at the pageant. This organization holds a special place in Sheila's heart as they were there for her when she need help with her parents. They were very grateful for the donation! One of the people I had the privilege of meeting was Dr. Lori. She was very excited to hear that the pageant would like to make Niagara hospice it's charity of choice.
