THERE IS A HEARING. NEW TONIGHT AT 11. A NEW BEAUTY PAGEANT WAS HELD TODAY IN THE UPSTATE SHOWING BEAUTY NEVER FADES. THE FIRST EVER TIMELESS QUEENS OF FLEETWOOD BEAUTY PAGEANT WAS HELD TODAY AT FLEETWOOD POST-ACUTE IN EASLEY, LEAH PHILLIPS REPORTS. JESSICA IS THERE IN A WHEELCHAIR. THEY CAN STILL BE FABULOUS. THE TIMELESS BEAUTIES AT FLEETWOOD POST-ACUTE CERTAINLY PROVED THAT TO BE TRUE, AS THEY COMPETED FOR THE CROWN. WE DID HAIR, WE DID NAILS, WE DID MAKEUP. AND NOT ONLY DID IT BRIGHTEN THEIR DAY, IT BRIGHTENED OUR DAY. WE LEARNED SO MUCH. STUDENTS FROM THE UPSTATE COLLEGE OF COSMETOLOGY PROVIDED THE PAMPERING, MAKING DOZENS OF RESIDENTS FEEL BEAUTIFUL ON THEIR BIG DAY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE WRINKLES. PEOPLE MIGHT SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT’S NOT HOW I LOOK AT THINGS. I LOOK MORE INTO THEIR EYES. I SEE THEIR SPIRIT, THEIR SOUL. THE LADIES EVEN RECEIVING A PERSONAL ESCORT OR TWO FROM LOCAL FIRE AND POLICEMEN AS THEIR LOVED ONES CHEERED THEM ON FROM THE AUDIENCE. SO OUR RESIDENTS, I DON’T SEE THEM AS RESIDENTS OR NUMBER, YOU KNOW. I SEE THEM AS PEOPLE. THEY’RE MY MY FAMILY. WHILE ROCKING THEIR GREATEST GOWNS, THE LADIES WERE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS WHAT ADVICE THEY WOULD GIVE YOUNGER GENERATIONS AND WHAT BEAUTY MEANS TO THEM. WE ALWAYS HAVE THAT LITTLE CHILD IN US THAT WANTS TO DRESS UP AND TO WEAR A CROWN AND TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL, AND I THINK THAT’S PART OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DO IN LIFE. EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, PUTS ON THEIR FANCY SHOES AND, YOU KNOW, GETS THEIR HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN CONQUER THE WORLD. EACH AND EVERY PARTICIPANT RECEIVED A SPECIAL AWARD. BUT OF COURSE, THE TIMELESS QUEEN OF FLEETWOOD WAS CROWNED, AND I LOVE THEM, LIKE I SAID. AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO PROUD TO HONOR MY RESIDENTS.
