He was not there but another Doctor that works with him met with me and took molds of my teeth to get the process started. Afterwards I hung out with Dennise and her kitty Puma and we got ready to go to a charity event. We met up with my friend Rosalie who I know from when we were in Miss New York Teen USA together! We all went to Bottomz Up bar and grill to support the Meriwether Foundation which was created by former Miss USA Nana Meriwether's family.
We had The Bachelor playing on the televisions while we all talked. Then a writer for a food and beverage blog was there and asked me to do an on-camera interview which was fun. Lastly Nana had a raffle for different items like jewelry. I had a great time with everyone and was glad that I could make the trip to the city!
I stayed with Dennise again that night and then I went to the bus stop to go home to Rochester, New York.
When I got home I had a package in the mail from my pageant director when I was Miss New York Teen USA in 2006! Thank you Kim, that was very sweet!
The next day I went shopping for clothes for appearances and for Miss USA. Thursday I had a meeting at Scott Miller and then got my nails done there to go to Fashion Week that weekend. Afterwards I stopped by my alma mater to pick up the newspaper that I did an interview for. They did a great job with the article and I was honored to be on the front page.
On Friday I went to Scott Miller to get my hair blow-dried and hair extensions put in and then Saturday my bestie Sarah and I went to New York City for Fashion Week, thanks to the Meriwether Foundation! I felt bad that I would not be able to see my best friend Liz on her birthday but she understood and I told her that we would celebrate another day. Scott Miller was so helpful by doing my makeup that morning because I love how they do it!
We drove to the city and got dressed at Dennise's house and I wished that she could come with us but we only had two tickets. We took a taxi to the Lincoln Center and it was beautiful. We were outside taking some photos when a photographer from Reuters saw me wearing my banner and asked to take my photo. It was exciting when later I saw his photo posted in several countries.

Then some representatives from WWD were outside with Google glasses on which were really cool and they recorded me shouting out to Women's Wear Daily. When we went inside we saw the Mercedes display and then we got to do the E! GlamCam 360 and it was really fun.
Then we went to the press room to meet up with stylist Nathan Hesel who Nana Meriwether put me in touch with. Him and his friends were really nice and the press took some pictures before we headed into the Venexiana show.

We sat in the front row and each of the gowns were beautiful!
After the show I did an on-camera interview on the runway with the Fashion Institute of Technology. Then we left the venue and it was freezing outside so Sarah and I hopped in a cab and went back to Dennise's place. Our trip was short but sweet! On Sunday we headed back to Rochester so that Sarah could go to work the next day and I made it back for a dinner at Mike's house that night. His family surprised our friend Alexandra with a cake to celebrate her birthday. We all had a great time and then I got ready to go back to the city!
