Congratulations to Melissa France for winning the second week of Harborside. Following her was First Runner Up Gabriella Roberts and Second Runner Up Heather Shaw. I got a chance to talk to Melissa after the contest to ask her how she felt about winning and she responded, "I am just so excited to win, I am going home a winner!!" Also, being there seeing the charisma and smiles on stage showed true confidence in all the ladies in the pageant. First Runner Up winner Gabriella Roberts was excited to place because she has only been doing Hawaiian Tropic Pageants for a couple months and after talking to her she said, "After doing a couple pageants you start to learn new things everytime, like what to wear, how to walk and pose, and just have overall good appearance on stage, because there is no way a couple months ago I would ever place not knowing what I know now." Heather Shaw also does these pageants for fun and doesn't do it for a living like other circuit girls do. She is actually a hair stylist, horse trainer, and does photography on the side. So whether or not she places, she makes her money either way. But hey a little extra money isn't bad now is it. Congratulations to all our finalists and to our winner Melissa France and next weekend who knows who will win!
