Unruly hair and all, Vanessa went on with her turn during the Press Presentation.
With no beauty camp holding her back, she is left to her own devices and getting some hopefully well-meaninged tips and suggestions from the BPCI crew and David Salon’s hair/make-up stylists. I always have a soft spot for the underdogs, especially the ones who are being tagged as the least likely to leave a mark in the competition. On a leaner year, I would give her a solid outside chance of making the semis. But for now, the field is just so fierce that even some of the strongly-assessed ladies are starting to get unconsciously sidelined.
Be that as it may, Vanessa still deserves wishes of good luck in the coming weeks. It’s already the 1st of March. And in less than a month from now, our new Queens will take centerstage.
